MORE MALES THAN
FEMALES IN AMERICA.
Census Bulletin Shows That Cities Have
Many More Women Than Men in
Their Population.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 12.-There
are several millions more men than wom-
en- in the world. In the United States
the excess of males over females is more
than 100000. These and many other
interesting facts are set forth in bulletin
just published by the census bureau
which was prepared by Prof. w. Z. Will
cox of Cornell university. The bulletin
shows:
In continental United States there are
1,63S,321 more males than females, or about
, two in each 100 people.
American cities, as a rule, have more fe-
males than males In the 1861 cities each
having in 1900 at least $500 inhabitants
there We're POI, 959 more females than males
and this, Notwithstanding the many west
ern cities which contained more males than
/ females and the enormous number of FOR
eign-born in the country, fve-ninths of them
male and large proportion of them living
in the cities.
While the excess of 1929 males in American
cities in 1890 became an excess of 30 $50
females in American cities in 1900 the
excess of 1o19,309 males in country dis
trlcts In 1870 became an excess of j, $50
males in 1900.
Notwithstanding the great excess of males
in the total population of the United States
there are two periods of life at which the
reported number of females is greater. One,
extending from about SO years of age TO
the end of life, is probably due mainly to
the longer average life of woman; the other,
from 10 to %, is probably apparent rather
than real. and due mainly to the greater
number of women who claim, enormously,
to belong to this age period
In 1900 among the 1887 147 persons at
tending school, 400 in each 1000 were male
and sol female; in $780, in the same class,
80 per 1000 were male and 400 female
The death rate of males in the registra-
ton area of the United States in 1900 was
1910 per 1000, and that of females 1876 per
1000 the former having a death rate higher
by about one-seventh than the latter. In
the 346 registration cities the death rate of
males was 200 and that of females 17.2 per
! 1000. the male rate exceeding the female by
! one-siXth. In the rest of the registration
/ area the male death rate was 1913 and that
| of females 100 per 1000 the male rate ca
ceeding the female by one-nineteenth.

A Noise-Proof Dwelling.

A millionaire in one of our eastern
cities has built for himself a retreat
that is absolutely noise-proof. In ac'
cumulating his fortune he developed a
very bad case of nerves. The or
binary nan who is unfortunate enough
to have weak nerves must bear with
them, that is, unless he was wise
enough to take Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters at the start. This famous med
icine has made an unequalled reputa-
ton as a nerve strengthener. Weak
nerves are Impoverished nerves and
these come from the stomach being so
weak that the food is not properly dl-
gested, thus depriving the blood and
nerves of proper nutrition. The Bit
tiers will positively strengthen the
stomach, perfect digestion and assimi-
lation, and cure nervousness, insomnia,
indigestion, dyspepsia, poor appetite
and constipation. Try is and see for
Yourself.
