Washington, D. c., Nov. l8:-Amer1'
can race waste-more serious than
race suicides pointed out in Census
| Mortality Bulletin No. 104, in which
it is estimated that annually in the
United States from 100000 to 200,'
900 babies under five years of age,
die from pre- ventable causes: This
great loss Of life among the little ones
at the period when they are most
loving and most lovable, could be pre-
vented, is the opinion Of DR.. Cressy
l.. Wilbur, chief statician for vital sta
tistics of the census bureau, who pre-
pared the bulletin, on the basis of
pr sent-day knowledge of sanitary
measures. For the accomplishment of
effective preventative work in this
direction, DR.. Wilbur holds that tho
prompt registration of all births and
and the more careful and precise
statement CT causes of death by ply
sicians are essential.
In analysing and comparing the to-
tails obtained in the compilation of
transcripts Of death returns received
for the year 1908 by the census bu-
reau from the entire death registra-
ton ara Of the United States, as set
forth in the bulletin, those for age
periods show a somewhat increased
per cent of deaths of infants under
one wear for 1908, although the ratios
for zach of the individual years from
one to four are Identical for 1907 and
1908.
Of the total number of deaths, 691..
ho
registration area, it Is stated in the
hul'etin that nearly one-fifth were Of
infants under one year of age and ov-
err one-fourth of children less than
fly" wears of age.
It is declared that the brute fore,
of the figures representing the actual
deaths is more impressive, however.
han any ratios or than the rates of
infant mortality, even if the latter
could be computed in the absence, Of
proper registration of births Here
are the figures:
More than one-eighth OF million
fry 100000 children, under five years
of age died among about one-half Of
the total population of the United
States in the year mentioned It is
considered probable that fully 100000
more died in the cities and states not
included in the census bureau death
registration area. In this connection
Dr.. Wilbur quotes Professor Irving
Fishers conclusion that of all Of the
diseases of infancy. having the med
ian age one year, At per cent may be
prevented; and that of the diseases
of childhood having median age two
to eight years, 81 per cent may be
prevented @..,
cit does not seem unreasonable"
DR.. Wilbur states. when We consider
the fact that there is apparently no
reason why infants. If nro:>srlv born.
and this means simply the prevention
of .ante-natal disease and the improve
ment of the health and conditions OF
life OF their narsnts, should jie at all
in early infancy or childhood. except
from the comparatively small proper
ton of accidents that are strictly I'M
avoidable.'. n. r. 49,.
The bulletin continues with a state
ment that The general death rate of
a country Is largely dependent upon
its infant mortality, because the death
rates OF infants and young children
are high and they affect a relatively
numerous element Of the population.

Cherry. ILL.,, Nov. 17.-Special-John
A. Stenstrom, Cherry's best and only
barber, gave a free feast to sixty-t1Ne
orphans of entombsd miners In the
basement of the Congregational church
Yesterday. The fact that at the time
the banquet was going on in the base
ment the funeral of four miners was
held upstairs did not in the least de-
tract from the enthusiasm with which,
the youngsters attacked Mr.. STEM
stroms spread.
The casual visitor may not be I'M
pressed with Stenstrom's blond locks,
his mild, baby blue eyes, or his ag-
gressively Swedish accent, but those
who have studied his career In Cher
nv assert that he is a man with a
big heart.
Stenstrom became Interested in the
rising generation in Cherry. a few
DAYS after he arrived in the town OF
Cherry.
IT didn't have much to do when ]
first hit town." he said yesterday.
$50 1 got looking around. The first
thing I found, out was that kids In
this town don't have much fun. The
most of. them go to work in the mine
early, and at night about all they have
to do is to stay home. So I thought
would form a boys club. They let
me have the basement of the church
and I put in a punching bag and
some Indian Clubs and other things.
Nights and afternoons the kids and J!
went over and had good time"
The banquet was held in Mr.. Stem.
strorn's gymnasium.

wnsKEY SANDWICH.

A dispatch from Birmingham, Ala,
says the sale and distribution of the
whiskey sandwich Is the latest meth.
Cd OF evading the liquor laws in the
state of Alabama: Loaves of bread,
cut and arranged to represent oys-
ter sandwiches. are sold over the
counters In unchrooms. presumably
operated for that purpose, a bottle
OF whiskey being arranged between
the lawyers OF the bread. It Is said
that questionable lunch-rooms have
sprung up all over the State. in which
these contraband goods constitute
practically the total bin of fare.
The discovery of the whiskey sand
wich was made by the warden at the
Birmingham Jail. who took it into
his head to examine an apparently
Innocent sandwich which was
brought to the jail for one of the
prisoners by a relative. The prison
er, Charles Smith. negro, had only
recently attempted to make his es-
cape.
The warden was suspicious that
something might have been hidden
In the unusually large sandwich.
Upon opening the loaf a large bottle
Of whiskey was discovered. A rigid
investigation was then put on foot
which resulted in the discovery that
the whiskey sandwich Is already an
important article of commerce in
Alabama.

TROLLY STRIKE CALLED
$500 Men on Pittsburg Traction
Lines to Quit Work.

Pittsburg, Pa, June 26.-After n
conference lasting until nearly mid
night tonight with officials of the
Plttsburg Railways Company the
executive committee of the local
union of the Amalgamated Associa-
ton OF Street and Electric Railway
employees called strike, which will
tie up the entire traction lines OF
Fittsburg and vicinity. Thirty-five
hundred men will be affected. The
grievance of the men include the
charge of discrimination against
union men; a demand for proper
hearings for discharged men; longer
lunch hours and the installation of
bulletin boards in the car barns an
nouncing lay-offs. The strike will
likely extend to the electrical help
ers, machinists, trackmen and even
rail laying crews of the entire Pitts
purg lines. The present strike, it is
predicted, will more than likely be
long drawn out affair, as the union
men expressed themselves in bitter
terms against the railway company.
1t was reported at 1890 tonight
that Strike Breaker Farley, of New
York, had been communicated with
by railway officials, and it is expect
ed that by Monday at least 500 i'm
ported strike breakers will be housed
In the barns of the railway company.
AT a. m. the union conductors
began leaving their cars.
Several cars were left in the down
town streets, deserted by the crews.
Pickets have already been sent out
from union headquarters to the five
downtown car barns.

WILL AID YOUNG MEN.
"A Unique Organization, But One That
Might Accomplish Much Good.

Columbia, June 26.-A unique
movement in philanthropy has had its
beginning in Greenville among a few
business men. 1t is about to crystaliza
in the formation of what is to be
known as the Educational Investment
Company. Of South Carolina, with
capital of 100000, the purpose Of
which is to loan money to poor boys
of good moral character for use in OBJ
tanning a college education. Mr.. Mar
shall Moore, who has been selected as
field secretary. has started on a trip
throughout the State to raise the
stock. 1t Is probable that the head
quarters of the company when organ
ized will be in Columbia.
In speaking of the company today
Mr.. Moore said:
"The Educational Investment Com
papy OF South Carolina is something
new In the field Of business activity.
Colleges have had their loan funds for
several decades. but nowhere yet has
there been an effort to place this phi
lanthropic work on the business basis
OF a banking house. The plan is some-
thing unique and it will soon be the
part of South Carolina to prove to the
country that investment in character
will return money dividend.
Il have talked with many of the
biggest men in South Carolina, the
biggest men in purse and heart and
only one lone man of near five hun
dred seen or written to has refused to
endorse the work. This am sorry to
say Is Senator Tillman, who wrote
that he never lent his name to pri-
vate enterprises, or some such stuff
In striking contrast to this are the
strong letters from members of Con-
gress. and especially the one from Mr..
Lever, with voluntary offer to SUBJ
scribe to ten shares of the capital
stock. Mr.. Moore has several hun
dred endorsements from prominent
Carolinians."
