MORE MALES THAN FEMALES
p.,,,or+son Of Sexes in the United
States Set Forth In Census
Bulletin.

There are several millions more men
than women in the world. In the Unit
ed States the excess of males over re-
males ia more than 1,600, 900. These and
many other interesting facts are SET
forth in & bulletin just published oy tne
census bureau, which was prepared oy
Prof. w. F. Wilcox, of Cornell univer-
sity. The bulletin shows:
In the continental United states
there are 1,638, 321 more males than re-
males, or about two in each 100 people.
American cities, as q rule, have more
females than males. In the 1861 cities,
each having in 1900 at least $500 inhaD-
itants. there were 20e.s59 more females
than males, and this, Notwithstanding
the many western cities which con-
tanned more males than females and the
enormous number of foreign-born In
the country, five ninths of them male
and q large proportion of them living IN
the cities.
While the excess of 6,929 males In
American cities in 1890 became an excess
of 21O. 959 females in American cities IN
1900. the excess of 1919 $50 males In the
country districts in 1890 became an ex-
cess of ]. SAC, 28O 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 50 years of age to the end OF me-
Is probably due mainly to the longer av-
erase life of woman; the other, from Ii
to Is, is probably apparent rather tnan
real. and due mainly to the greater num-
Der of women who claim, enormously, 10
belong to this age period.
In 1900 among the 1885,, LAT persons
attending school, 499 in each LOCO were
male and sol female; in 1890 in the same
class, $40 per 1000 were male and 4So 1e-
male.
The death rate of males In the regis
tration area of the United States In l9oo
was 1910 per 1000, and that OF the 1e-
males 1876 per 1000, the former having a
death rate higher by about one-seventn
than the latter. In the 346 registration
cities the death rate of males was 2O.O
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 ana
that of the females $50 per 1,0OO, the
male rate exceeding the female by one
nineteenth.

Death Of Judge Philips.

Judge Fred Philips, who was we'll
known all through this section, died at
his home in Tarboro last Saturday.
The following appeared in The Morn
ing Post, Of Raleigh, Sunday, under
date of January 18th.
surrounded by his devoted wife
and children at his home here this
morning, ex-Judge Frederick Philips
breathed his last at eight O'Clock.
"Judge Philips was victim ofdrop-
sy and heart aff1iction and had been In
poor health for some time and al
though his condition was serious he
maintained cheerful spirit. A short
time ago he was taken to Baltimore
and kept under the treatment of a
specialist for several weeks, but the
benefit derived seemed only to stay the
sting of death for brief period. The
b ginning of the end was marked by q
p aralytic stroke of the lett side last
Monday, rendering him speechless
though not depriving bim ofconscious-
ness. His absent loved ones were i'm
mediately summoned, and they were
with him until the end.
"Judge Philips was a noble veteran
of the Civil war. He served with
Jackson, Lee and Pender in the Army
o! Northern Virginia. After the close
of this great struggle for the cause he
lored SO dearly he resumed the prac-
tlce of law, which was his profession.
He was elected a Superior court Judge
in 1884.
Judge Philips was born in 1888 and
was sixty-seven years old to-day. He
leaves wife and eight children"

CONSUMPTION IN RUSSIA.
The Disease Is Treated Without Drugs,
Kumyss Being the Popu-
lar Remedy.

Over in Russia the people have for long
years believed that kumyss, made from
mares milk, is a good remedy for con-
sumption. In the treatment of con-
sumptives the Russians are in advance
ical Talk for the Home. They do not
believe that drugs do any good in con-
sumption, but their theory in treat
ing consumption is to improve the re-
sisting powers of the body, to build up
the general health of the body in every
way possible. And this is the object of
kumyss feeding. 1t is food that gives
strength and health to all the tissues of
the body, and by that means helps to
ward of the encroachment Of consump-
ton.
this therapeutic measure of kumyss feed
ing at the head of all the public meas
ures which should be adopted in the
struggle against tuberculosis in Russia
In the spring and early summer there
are multitudes of cOnsumptives who
make an annual pilgrimage eastward
and southwark by railroad and down the
Volga by steamer to the provinces of
Ufa, Samara, Saraton and Orenburg, to
drink the kumyss made in these prov
inces.
Levaskoff shows by statistics that over
80 per cent. of consumptives in the first
and second stages recover completely
on simply kumyss treatment, and over
81 per cent. are considerably improved
Add to the kumyss treatment outdoor
life, moderate exercise, and some light
occupation that interests and busies the
mind, and you have the ideal treatment
tor tuberculosis, and. in fact the only
treatment that will eradicate this dis
ease from the system.

Secrets Of Long Life.

A London newspaper has been asking
q number of very old men for the secret
Of their long life. The replies are OF the
sort commonly heard. One lives long be-
cause he has taken wine every day in
moderation, another because he has
never tasted wine; one finds sovereign
virtue in moderate physical exercise,
another is convinced that he lives long
because he keeps his body quiet and his
mind active. All of which means that
each man has followed his natural in
clination, never exceeded the measure
fixed by good sense, and really thought
little or nothing about it.-St. Louis
