DEATH RATE IN CITIES.
St. Cloud Claims to Be the Heaithiest
Place In Minnesota

st. Cloud is the heaitnlest place in
the state of Minnesota, according to a
statement of the death rate in cities
in the state issued by the state board
of health. The death rate there is 81,
which means that on an average one
death per week occurs during the entire
year.
The rate in Minnesota is as low as
any state in the union.
The rates of the three large cities are
much lower than in other cities in the
United States of the same size. The
rate in st. Paul was lO5 as compared
with l0.4 in Duluth and ii in Mime
apolis.
The average death rate in the United
States is given by the federal cen
sus of 1900 as 1913 and the death rate
in England in 1903 was l5.4l. In In
diana the rate in 1903 was 1916.
The death rates in Minnesota cities
having a population of 10000 to 90
900 follow:
Brainerd, liz; Mankato, 1913; st.
Cloud, 81; Saltwater, 8; Winona, IL.
In cities from 5000 to 10000, the
rates follow:
Anoka, 6; Austin, 9.S2; Cloquet, $500;
Crookston, 76; Faribault, ll.S7; Fer
gus Falls, III; Hibbing, l4.5; Little
Falls, 1861; New Ulm, l4.5; Owatonna

AN INTERESTING PAPER.
The State Fair Edition of The st. Paul
Trade.

| IFdOes
We are just in receipt of sample
copy of the state fair edition of ST. Paul
Trade, newspaper published weekly
| by Messrs. Williams & Rouleau at Gil
and 6l2 Pioneer Press building, st. Paul,
Mimi, in the interests of the retail mer-
chants of the northwest. St. Paul
Trade is the only general trade paper
published in st. Paul, and it is the
oldest trade paper published in the
northwest This issue is the biggest in
point of size ever issued in st. Paul,
comprising l52 pages and cover.
The news matter is all original and
especially interesting to the subscribers.
One of the features of the publication
is pictorial supplement showing
street scenes in the wholesale district of
st. Paul, with description accompany
ing the cuts, explaining exactly how to
reach each large wholesale house in ST..
Paul. This is feature never before at
tempted or executed by any other trade
paper. and is of untold value to the
country merchant desiring to reach
quickly any of the large wholesale
houses of the city.
The paper carries four beautiful in
serts, among them being one with the
advertisement of Griggs, Cooper & Co.,
in which the reproductions of bottled and
canned goods are undoubtedly the best
that were ever put out by house in
this line. The reproductions are done
in three colors, and are as nearly per-
feet as the printers art can make them.
Among the other inserts of especial
beauty are those of Gordon & Ferguson,
Foley Bros. & Kelly, and Lanpher, Skin
ner & Co.
The title page of this number of st.
Paul Trade is especially apt, showing
the well known Saint of George Rehse,
the Pioneer Press cartoonist, welcoming
host of country merchants to st. Paul
to attend the state fair. This cover IS
done in two colors, and is unusually at
tractive and appropos to the nature of
the edition.
The large amount of advertising con-
tanned in the edition shows that st.
Paul wholesalers and manufacturers
must feel prosperous, and also indicates
that they have plenty of confidence in
the pulling power of st. Paul Trade as
an advertising medium.
The fact that the issue was printed
super calendered book stock with 100
pound cover stock, together with the
evident careful attention given to press
work, composition and other details, in
dieates that the publishers spared no
expense or effort to make this a BAN
ner edition of their paper, and Messrs.
Williams & Rouleau, publishers, and the
business men of st. Paul are to be con-
graduated on this beautiful number of
st. Paul Trade.
