Of Columbus, Ohio. The figures were
taken from the latest mortal statistics
published by the government and en-
tirely agree with the archives kept at
The Hartman Sanitariun.
The map is made in four shades. The
lightest shade shows the States which
have the lowest per cent. of deaths due
to catarrhal diseases. In these States
very close to AZ per cent. of all deaths
in 1890 were due to catarrhal diseases.
That is to say, four out of every ten
deaths were from catarrhal affections.
In the States of next darker shade the
per cent. varies from AZ to As. In the
next darker shade, As to 48 per cent, of
the whole number of deaths resulted
from catarrhal diseases. In the darkest
shade we have indicated the States in
which over so per cent. or one-half or
more, of all the deaths were directly
traceable to catarrh as the cause.
This is an appalling state of affairs.
This nation has got to confront the
fact that catarrh has become a ne

Wichita Girl Discovered Dying

Pitiful Case of DestitutiOn Is
Brought TO Light.
NO FOOD OR CLOTHING.
Mother and Three Sisters in
Similar Condition.
Family or Five Occupying One
Small Room.

Wichita, Kas., Jan. 1.-THE Beacon

able cot in a tenement house at 116
South Ida street, 1S-year-old Laura
Robinette is slowly dying of consump-
ton, while her mother and three sisters
are almost destitute Of food and clothing
Such was the condition in which Police
Matron Ella Glenn Shields found the
family last evening while on her rounds
of mercy and she has asked the char
liable citizens of Wichita to give aid.
1.-The dying girl, surrounded by these
miserable conditions, makes the case an
exceedingly pitiful one. There are five
members in the family. a widow and
four daughters. They occupy two small,
squalid rooms in the upper story of a
large house, which is also inhabited by
several other families. Until last week
the family occupied but one room, but
the condition of the dying girl demanded
that she have better quarters, and al
though penniless and not able to fur
nish her with the luxury of better
room, the other room was finally Sc
cured.
1.-THE family owns but one small bed
and a cot, and the dying girl of course
occupies the bed. The appearance OF
the rooms clearly indicates the destitute
circumstances of the family. There as
practically no furniture in the rooms
and what there is is broken and almost
useless.
Since they came to Wichita Mrs
Robinette and her daughters have re-
ceived aid from the county, but it was
rather quantity than quality, and food
furnished the sick girl was not such as
she should have had. The King
Daughters have furnished aid to the
family in the past.

liar one for prosperous Wichita"
