requested by the committee to see that the
ordinance is enforced. One member of the
committee is in favor of club women re-
fusing to patronlze merchants and others
who advertise on bilTboards. deeming this
the most effectual means of making the
system unpopular. The committee further
announced that 1t is not through with it's
investigation into the street car service
problem and it requested all women en-
countering discourtesy or inconvenience
from conductors to report the same to the
committee that these things may be brought

Nine Causes Are Most Frequent---3O9 Deaths
Out of Every 100 Occupied Males Between

Washington, D. c. - Health De-
partment returns show the total num-
ber of deaths from all forms Of tuber-
culosis returned in 1908 was 7S,2S9,
exceeding those of any previous year
OF registration, but the death rate per
100000 for 1908 is less than that for
1907. In all registration States the

decline except in Colorado, Rhode Isl
and and Vermont
Each of the following causes of
death was responsible for at least
5000 deaths of male breadwinners
during the year: Typhoid fever, tu-
berculosis Of lungs, cancer, apopleXy
and paralysis, heart disease, pneumo-
mia, Bright's disease, suicide and ac-
cident. The total number of deaths
of occupied persons from these causes
was, for males, 13S.259, and for fe-
males, ,434. Of the deaths of occu-
pied males. 29,433, or Is per cent,
were due to tuberculosis of the lungs,
and of the occupied females, 5511. or
81 per cent, were due to the same
cause.
In the registration area of the Uni
ted States during the year 1908, 800
deaths out of every 100 deaths of oc-
cupied males who died between the
ages OF 20 ana 81 years were caused
by tuberculosis of the lungs, or nearly
one death out of every three. During

The number of deaths from all
forms of pneumonia returned for
1908 was 61,259, 4 decrease of more
than 6000 from the number for 1907
CO.., ,320). despite the increase in the
registration area. The death rate
from pneumonia was lower for 1908
than for any other of the past five
years.
The crude death rates from cancer
continue to increase, and slightly
higher rates are recorded for each
main subdivision of the registration
group. For the year 1908 3S,465
deaths from this disease were report
ed, as against 80 ,514 for 1907.
The enormous extent of the mortal
ity Of infants from diarrhoeal dis
eases may be inferred from the fact
that the aggregate death rate from
these diseases, more than four-fifths
of which is due to deaths of infants
under two years old. exceeds one per
1000 OF the total population. and
ranks them in the same class for gen.
cral effect on the death rate as heart
disease and pneumonia, diseases
whose influence is felt upon all per.
iods.
