Health Report for February.-In bis re.

Health Report for February.-In his re-
port to the County Commissioners for the
month OF February DR. j F. II. Gorsuch, gen.
eral health officer, shows that during the
month there was reported 244 cases Of conta-
gous or infectious diseases, as against ZIG re-
ported for January.
A large number of these were measles. 19l
cases being reported. Most Of these reports
were by the LIST and Sd district health officers,
where there appears TO be an epidemic Dr.
Arthur Fl. Mann, of the LIST district, reported
IS cases, and DR.. II. A. Naylor. of the Sd dis
trict, reported 43 eases the 18th and 18th dis
trcts also reported number of cases of measles
The other So cases of infectious diseases are
made up as follows: Typhoid fever, 4; scarlet
fever. II; diphtheria, Is; whooping cough, 2;
chickenpox, 16, and impetigo contagioso. 4.
They are scattered over the entire county.
There are two deaths reported from measles
and two from pneumonia, following measles
Most of these infectious diseases among chill
dren. it is conteDded, are fostered particularly
in winter, when most children are kept indoors
or closely confined in schoolrooms-a strong
argument for out of door life for children even
in winter.
Twelve cases of scarlet fever and Is cases of
diphtheria were reported as part of February
history OF infectious diseases but no deaths
from either resulted. There were q deaths
from tuberculosis, as against % in January.
The Oldest decedent was 81 years old, the
youngest year old
There were % deaths from pneumonia.
Twelve of these decedents were under the age
of 2 years; the oldest was Sc years and the
youngest 3 months of age.
Other deaths from diseases of the respiratory
organs were as follows: Grip. A bronchitis.
2 pulmonary congestion. Thus out of the
129 deaths reported So or Al per cent, were
from diseases of the respiratory organs, re-
garded as an object-lesson to all. since it is said
by the doctors that It is patent to everyone
that the Maryla climate in winter requires
the utmost care to avoid lung complications.
Protection from extremes of cold or too great
exertion, or suddenly cooling off after fatiguing
exercise, says the report. should be carefully
guarded.
OF the 129 deaths reported % of the decedents
were more than 20 years of age the Oldest be
ing Sc years.

Mr.. GEORGE T. ANGEL, editor and proprie-
tor of Our Dumb animals, died at his home in
Boston, Mass, few days ago, at the age of So
years. His death removes from earth most
interesting man. The Plymouth (Mass) Oh
SerVer of January 7th 1909 had the following
to say of Mr.. Angel: lone grand example of
a thoroughly good man is George T. Angel,
president of the Massachusetts s. P. C. A., and
one who can feel that he has done some good
in this world. One whom the people can say
after he has gone that has made the world bet
ter for having lived in it, and who has never
neglected to do kind deed for the lowly crea-
lures, as well as his fellow-men. Mr. Angel
has done more good along this line through his
magazine (Our Dumb Aninaals) than anything
ever published, which, by the way, is about
the only publication issued which has for its
object no other purpose than the sole one of
doing good to others. A grand old man and
may he live to pass the century mark" The
funeral of Mr.. Angel took place in Boston last
Saturday and on that day thousands of horses
in that city wore mourningfosettes in memory
of their friend and benefactor.

DR.. WILEY, chief of the Bureau of Chemis-
try of the Agricultural Department Washing
ton, on the Goth inst. wrote a letter correcting
recently published statements credited to him
to the effect that soft drinks contained caffeine
He says: 1.-THE statements reported to have
been made by me in my address before the
students of the Holy Cross Academy in Wash
ington are misrepresented. What 1 did say
was that parents often forbid their children to
use coffee and tea at home and yet they are
allowed to get caffeine at the soda fountains,
which is the most injurious part of coffee and
tea. did not say that all soft drinks contain
caffeine, but did say that we had collected 100
syrups sold at soda fountains which contained
caffeine. The caffeine products are sold TO the
consumer without any notice that they contain
caffeine, and caffeine in its pure form in such
drinks is much more deadly than when COM
bined naturally with coffee and tea"
