mANILA,s VITAL STATISTICS.
Causing More Deaths

Consumption Causing More Deaths
Than the Plague Epidemics-
A comparison of the annual death rate
per thousand inhabitants Of Manila with
that of some Of the larger tropical cities
and some Of the popuIOus centres of the
United states as shown by papers recent
y received by the Division of Insular Af-
fairs Of the War Department, is of IL
terest. The annual death rate per thou
sand of Manila for 1909 was 34f7. Hong
kong 23.83, Mexico 81. Bombay 5l.35 Rio
JaReiro 3I.11, New York 20.53. PhiladeI-
phia 1875. A comparison of the respective
causes OF death shows that there is prac-
ticaIly no cause for alarm in the plague
figures, but the number of deaths attrib-
uted to other causes is in somee cases
rather high. Ali over the world One-sev-
enth of the deaths are from pulmonary
tuberculosis. II spite Of all epidenics and
plaques Even we're plague at its height
IN Mania il is probable that the number
of dest',s in that city would not exceed
those resulting from the first mentioned
disease. Next to infantile diseases the
highest number Of deaths are recorded
under the head Of pulmonary tuberculO-
sis. For instance, Manila's vital statis-
tics for the month Of December recorded
los deaths from pulmonary tuberculosis
and 1S9 from infantile diseases, the next
highest on the list
AS evidence Of the seriousness with
which pulmonary tuberculosis has come
to be regarded by health authorities all
over the world. it may be stated that San
Francisco has instituted quarantine
against all cases of consumption which
enter that port The disease is extremely
common all over these islands, due to the
climate and the peculiar susceptibility OF
the native constitution to the disease It
would seem that there is more to fear

CORN IN THE NETHERLANDS.
An Opportunity for United States Elk
porters to Supply IA Demand.

Frank D Hill. the United State Consul
at Amsterdam. in a communication 10 the
State Department eucIoses the following
received from Morris Well, cook i'm the
corn kitchen at the Paris Exposition.
The demand for corn is rather large
as it is used for many purposes. as for
making beer, gin etc: but the climate
here not being warm enough TO ripen it.
It must be imported. generally from the
United States. Some farmers may grow
it, Dut they use il for feeding their cattle
and poultry.
"Cornstarch and maizena, have been
known here for years and are largely used
for manufacturing purposes. At the Zaan
the country Of winumills. near AmsteT-
dam, there are a number Of factories
using corn.
Maizena, is used here. as in the United
states. for desserts Corn -four is used
uty- Some bakers use it for mixing with
wheat -four.
The use OF corn as human food is not
known here; and, in my opinion, the peO-
pie VIII not adopt II easily They eat rice

how TO prepare It, and claim il is indI-
EeStible- Green corn is almost unknown

canned sugar corn is also almost un-
known partly because OF the high raFjfF

Pop corn IS gradually getting to be
known. At the annual county fairs. little
wagons can be seen selling Il for few

some American would make popcorn
balls and sell them here in the usual
American way, by sending out samples.
he might succeed in introducing them for
the use Of children"
