A recent bulletin Of the United
States census compares the mortality
of 1890 and that of 1900. and shows
that there has been a diminution of
something like 10 per cent. in the
death rate. In 1890 the average long.
evity in the United States was 31.1
years; in 1900 it is 35.2 years. The
increase is 13 per cent. This is the
conclusion. at least, so far as cities
of over 5000 inhabitants are con.
cerned, and it represents the facts for
the whole country approximately. In
1894 245 persons died of consumption
In every 10000; in 1900 only 1870. The
case is similar, though not so marked.
for other diseases-diphtheria, bron-
chitis, typhoid, cholera infantum and
the like. The main causes are a per-
fected hygiene of towns and the prog.
ress of medicine. Pneumonia, how
ever, claimed 1872 victims per 10000 in
1900 to 1877 in 1890.

TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS.
And to All Others who Wish to
Take The Leader.

To meet the requirements of
its growing circulation and in
creasing job printing patronage,
THE LEADER has found it nee
essary to add an engine to its
outfit to run its presses. We
have, therefore, closed a con-
tract for a gasoline engine of
one OF the best patterns, to be
delivered within the next 80
days. We have agreed to pay
cash for the new machine, and
in order to meet this and other
extra expenses incident to the
change of power, we must raise
an extra amount of cash be-
tween now and February |. To
do this, we have decided to call
upon all of our subscribers and
those who wish to become SUBJ
scribers for the coming year, to
assist us, and to make it to
their advantage to do so.
Our proposition is this: From
now until the first day of Feb
ruary, 1902, and including that
date, all subscribers, old or
new, can get THE LEADER at
ONE DOLLAR A YEAR. Ii you
want THE LEADER and HOME
AND FARM combined, you can
get both papers by paying Sl.25.
Persons who have recently paid
our regular subscription price of
Sl.5O, can have their time ex=
tended for another year beyond
their present limit by paying
the dollar rate while this spe-
cial offer is in force, or they can
get THE LEADER and HOME
AND FARM for another year by
paying Sl.25.
We hope all who read this
notice will take advantage of it,
and thus do a good thing for
themselves and at the same
time help us pay cash for our
engine.
FAIR NOTICE - This offer will not
be continued after February 1. 1t will
positively be withdrawn on that date,
and our regular subscription price of
$3.50 per year will go into effect
again; so don't procrastinate-- is
the accepted time. There will be no
exception to this rule, and no one
need ask or expect it.
