 STATISTICS Annual Report of Ierritor- idI Board Of Health AN INTERESTING SYNOPIS
Some of the Conclusions Drawn By Health Officer. Improvement in Registra-. tion But Closer Attention Should Be Paid to It

Dr F.. s. Godfrey, territorial health officer, has filed with the governor his annual report of the board of health It is a comprehensive docu- ment covering over twenty typewrit- ten pages and is accompanied by in teresting tables. It covers the first years work of the board under sys- stematic registration of vital statis- tics. the results of which have been given to the public quarterly, in a condensed form, as the progressed. The law providing for the registra- ton was passed early in 1909. From that time until July l was spent in devisine forms, securing registrars and instructing them in their work. The report says:
 The system has apparently been successful in all but three of the counties, in securing a registration which is at least 90 per cent of the actual number of deaths The num- Der of registered births is probably very much lower, due in part to the negligence of physicians, but but larger measure to the fact that many births are attended by midwives whose names and addresses it seems

An excessive death rate among childern under one year is shown. A great majority of them were Mexi- cans and the diseases were diarrhoeal. A great number of the deaths of chil- dren between l to 4 years, were of children between 1 and 2 and the causes were diarrhOeal, pneumonia, measles and whooplnS cough. Be tween and IA the death rate was low. The report says that special study will be given to Infant mortali- ty. The death rate shown is higher than in any other portion of the re- gistration area in the country. It is suggested that a campaign to im- prove these conditions should give precedence to closer supervision of milk supplies and instructions to mothers.
 A table is given in the repOr: show ing the. death rate of infants under one year in proportion to live births in each country, the basis of calcula- ton being 1000 live births Mohave county shows the least mortality with 43 births and deaths, or at the rate of 6S deaths in 1000 births. The greatest mortality is in Pima with 253 births and 1O9 deaths. the nor tality being 430.s per 1000 births. Cochise has the greatest number of births, 876 the death rate being 215.9 per 1000 births. Maricopa is second in births, GOA with a death rate Of 17O.5. Five counties have higher death rate than Maricopa and seven have a lower rate.
 Typhoid Fever.
 There were so deaths of typhoid fever of which B were other whites and 26 Mexicans. But one Indian is reported to have died of typhoid and in that case the disease was con- tracted in Mem Mexico. The report says this is the only infectious dis ease in which the number of q. cen dents of Mexican birth or parentage is less than the number of other whites, although even in this case the proportion of decendents is greater than the population The doctor says there can be no doubt that the Mexi- cans enjoy degree of immunity from typhoid fever. though the reason has not been greatly studied.
 Every county in the territory ex- cept Santa Cruz contributed to the mortality by this disease. the greatest number being in Maricopa county where 23 died. Some of the cases were contracted outside the county Cochise is next in point of number of deaths. though its greater population gives a smaller percentage of deaths than some other counties But in nearly every case the disease was contracted in the county and the deaths mostly occurred in Bisbee and vicinity. The report then recites the facts of the typhoid epidemics of Bis bee and Benson.
 Smallpox.
 There was no death from smallpox during the year, though a few cases of it were reported.
 Measles and Whooping Cough.
 The mortality from measles and whooping cough was much greater than the previous year. but the figures are accounted for in part by more complete registration as h. dian cases were seldom reported the year Before and also many cases were

for the local registrars tc

impossible for the local registrars to obtain"
 The forms devised adhere very closely to those recommended for use by the United States census bureau with some notifications especially desired by reason of local conditions. For instance, Was disease contracted in Arizona?" is one of the questions added, for obvious reasons, as the numerous deaths of invalid immi- grants raises the Arizona death rate unduly. An effort has been made to obtain complete information as to sex, age and color of decedents. To supply lacking information 27 letters of inquiry have been sent out during the year. It is believed that the Opin- ions have been honestly given and that the statistics relative to tubercu- losis represent the true mortality of the disease among residents and non- residents. Statistics for three of the added titles, syphilis 'other dis eases of the circulatory system" and appendicitis" are for the first six months of 1910 only.
 Four numbers of the bulletin of the board have been issued since Janu- ary l, 1910, containing the quarterly tables and brief articles on subjects relating to the public health. There are 1850 names on the mailing list and the Bulletin has been entered as second class matter
 As the census figures for the pop ulation of the territory are not yet available it is impossible to give death rates and the report says This fact should be borne in mind in estimating the healthfulness of the territory as a whole or any particu- lar subdivision of it.
 Excluding tuberculosis not ac- quired in Arizona" the largest num- Der of deaths, 275, was caused by "diarrhoea and enterities, under two years of age" Next in importance Is pneumonia exclusive of broncho- -pneu- monia), PIP; third, I'll defined dis cases" and fourth, tuberculosis ac- quired in Arizona. Classified ac- cording to sex the figures show 63.4 per cent to have been males and 36.s per cent females. The excess of males is due in part to the excess of males m the pOpuiallOn to lHt tNCtSS Ol males dying of tuberculosis contracted elsewhere and to the larger number dying of tuberculosis contracted else where and to the larger number dy- ing from external causes. mine and railroad accidents, homicides, etc. The census of 1900 showed the percentage of males in the territory to be 5S.4 and it is not believed 1t has material ly changed.
 Classified by race or color, 52 per cent of the deaths were among white persons; 36.7, MeXicans; S.7. Indians; 26, negroes and Chinese. Calculat- ing on the basis of the 1900 census as to race population it is shown that the deaths among the Mexicans were 24 as high as among other white persons The Indian death rate shown is very small. due. to incom- plete registration. Also on the basis of the 1900 census as to population, showing its proportion between spe- cified ages the percentages of deaths and ages were as follows:

sRooMs FOR slLKlNG CORN.

Some women who were shopping one day were surprised to see dis played on a counter sign whlch read "wihsk brooms for silking corn. Inquiry brought out the fact that a a housekeeper had asked for a whisk broom of fine quality, and told the clerk that she used it in sillling corn. He asked his wife to try it. and she was so delighted with it that he put up the little sign to call attention or other women to the discovery. It IS really a convenient and expeditions way of removing the silk. and If the family uses much corn it will pay to keep the little broom for this pur- pose.
