Comparative Mortality tor
Trades and Occupations

We must return to the Registrar-Gen-
erals statistics for special occupations TO
obtain clearer insight into the havoc
wrought by alcohol. This authority gives
Comparative mortality figures" show
ing the relative number dying IN differ
ent occupations out of given number
living in those occupations at the same
ages Thus, if the comparative mortality
figure for all men equals 1000, an equal
number of gardeners would only have
sos deaths, teachers 571, grocers 664,
doctors 957; while at the other end OF
the scale are brewers 1,407, lnnkeepers
and inn-servants 1865, and fllemakers
1,791
The practical Importance of these
facts. and of similar facts which are
we'll known, is shown by the practice
adopted by insurance societies, as con-
tanned in the following extract from ALI
butts standard System of Medicine,
1T is customary to add so percent
extra for such dangerous occupations as
the drink trade, even if classed as Al by
the medical examiner; but it is probably
wiser to follow the rule of the more cau-
tious Offices and absolutely to decline to
accept proposals in such cases.
Why is it that publican's chance OF
premature death is three times greater
than that of a gardener, and that 1t is
nearly as risky to be engaged in public
house as in the extremely dangerous in
dustry of file-making? The reason must
be sought in a further examination OF
the diseases to which those engaged IN
selling alcoholic drinks are subject
Comparing employees in inns (inn-serv-
ants) with all occupied males, we ind
that out of a given number in each
group, among inn-servants eight times
as many die from alcoholism, five and
one-half times as many from govt, one
and three-tenths times as many from dis
eases of the nervous system, one and
| four-hfths times as many from suicide,
two and one-half times as many from
consumption, and so on.
Consumption and Cancer
The national prohibitionist. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1907-1911, 1908-01-16
Consumption and Cancer

Consumption and cancer are two OF
1.-THE most dreaded diseases, and they, are
two of the most common causes OF death.
Out of every 1000 deaths in England rs
are caused by consumption, and at least
|56 by cancer. Both these diseases are
|more frequent among those aVho indulge
liz alcoholic drinks than among abstain
|ers
Consumption is due to infection by
|microbe, the tubercle bacillus, which is
discharged with the expectoration or
|spit of persons suffering from the same
disease. The infection is commonly in
|haled by others in the form of dust,
(which consists in such cases largely of
|lried expectoration, resulting from

inquire into TIE reasons for this re-.
markable, in fact, almost unexam-
pied ascendancy of Mr.. Bryan's
influence among the voters OF his
own party. 1T began with an effect
i've bit OF oratory and it has been
maintained, in part, ever since BY
public addresses which have never
lost their power OF moving and de-
lighting the great crowds that come
to hear him.
Mr.. Bryan is a professional lecturer
and has in his own person revived
the glories OF the lyceum platform.

education Of America. There are

Colored People Against Taft.

Editor Capital News Why should
the colored people vote against Taft?
asks Rev. Baker, leading colored
man OF Boise, In the Capital News.
Taft and Roosevelt established a
vicious precedent which was sane
toned by the republican national
convention, In dismissing three COM
panies of colored troops at Browns.
Vile Without shadow of a trial.
This is the shadow which should
have been mentioned a few days ago
byt he Statesman, when it said
THAT the negroes are fighting the
republican party in the shadow of
the emancipation.
Mr.. Roosevelt had no right to dis
miss these soldiers without first as.
certaining their guilt. He had as
much right to. order them into the
streets at Brownsville to be shot to
please the citizens of that place as
he had to discharge them without a
fair and impartial trial. In this
case Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Taft set
themselves up as judges and said
that the innocent must suffer with
the guilty. Is that right?

party, that their party emancipated
the slaves, is false In every sense of
