OURS NOR A HEALTHY COUNTRY.
Prof. wilcox of Cornell Says Other
Nations Are Much Longer Lived.

ITHACA. Nov. l6.-In q lecture before
Cornell students to-day Prof. Walter #.
wficox said the expectation OF life OF an
infant born in New York was less by ,
years than that Of an infant born in Berlin
and less by ~ years than that OF an
infant born in London. He said, however
that the child born in the northern part
OF the United States to-day would live
an average OF twenty years longer than
the child born in Italy or Egypt twenty
enturies ago and that there is an increase
in human life OF about one year a century.
There is hardly any branch OF scientific
work in which the United States is so far
behind other civilized countries OF the
world as in vital statistios." said Prof.
Wilcox. -In every other country at
least one life table. and in most Of them
more than one. has been made for the
general population. We have them even
for Western Australia and New South
Wales.
I'm the United States none has been
made for the total population. and the
one which has been made for the white
population, resting as It does upon census
data only. without reference to death
records. Is in my opinion OF very little
value.
In every other great country the
death rate OF tha general population is
determined with reasonable accuracy. In
the United States at the beginning OF the
twentieth century the closest statement
that can be made Of the death rate OF the
country Ia that it probably Is between
17,s and 1875 a thousand. a range OF
about Q per cent.
Norway. Sweden. Denmark. the Meth
erlands and England have lower death
rates and are probably healthier countries
than the United States. The same may
be true also Of Scotland. Switzerland and
Belgium. Twelve States have a lower
death rate than New York and only two
Rhode Island and California-hsve a
higher.
selves greatly either upon the healthful-
ness of the United States compared with
other countries or upon the healthfulness
OF New York State as compared with
other States. There are two fundamental
difficulties in the way OF developing the
mortality statistics of New York State
the readiness with which the law in these
matters is violated and the massive
ignorance Of the elements of vital sta
tistics on the part Of the general public.
and even Of too many Of the health officers
and members OF boards OF health"

missionary trip.

the general tenor Of his remarks At both
meetings were in line with what he has
said in other cities. he added q new thing
or two.
He knocked the central bank plan
a trifie by saying there should be no oen-
trail control or possibility OF central domi-
nation OF the financial situation by any
bank or set OF banks
He said that the financial life OF the
country must never be subjected to par
tisan or political influence. The sup
precision of the second bank OF the United
States he regards as due TO politics.

Shipments TO Guide PrlceG.
That nearby shipments will guide
the source of cattle prices here with
in the present week is the opinion Of
S. p. Gould of the Gould Commission
company:
"The market will likely remain
weak and dragging for awhile" he
told The Journal at noon, "and have
no doubt that a still lower range will
be shown this afternoon. There Is
quite lot of stock in the yards un-
sold. If shippers will hold back sup
plies for a while 1t will do some
good"
A rather weak feeling in the cattle
market is the opinion of Tom c. Ben
son regarding the present situation
QcIe. tdItle are idlHcE wan hOic,
he states, with too liberal supplies
coming and killers are unable to take
care of the shipments.
"Sheep would sell well but none
are now coming to market
Says ]. c. Lonegran-"The cattle
market is slow, but do not see any
particular change in the situation.
Prices are about the same, but prac-
tically nothing was sold this morn
ing. Hogs are unchanged, but sheep
are firm, with none here"

There is a duller tone in cattle, but
the situation is very much like that

FROST KILLS 1000 CHICKS.
Farmer Had a Good Thing But Win
ter Weather Blocked 1t,

Newfield, N. J.-Captain Harris OF
Newfield is wishing that he had not
only counted his chickens before they
were hatched, but that he had sold
them before they were Matched. Eggs
at 40 cents a dozen are preferable to
dead chickens, and that is the cause
of the captains wish.
Some time ago he had a lot of fine
eggs, and he thought it would be a
shame to give them to the public for
omelets, and decided to turn them
into nice succulent broilers instead.
With this idea in view the captain put
them in incubators and awaited the
result The "foster-mothers" did their
part of the work and there were soon
more than a thousand small chicks
running about.
However. Jack Frost came around
and killed every one.
