BIRTH RATE TO BECOME ME-.

How the worlds population will
gradually die out was predicted by the
late DR.. Koch. Of tuberculosis bacillus
fame. His theory will shortly be pub
lishcd in full by Adoloh Zimmerman \
scientist vino was IN DR.. Koch 5 conf
dcnce. Herr Zimmerman says that DR..
Koch explained in conversations with
him that the worlds birth rate will
gradually dwindlc to nil, So that the
human race will cxtinguiSh itself
through sheer repugnancc to pcrpctu-
a,ing itself.
Dir. Koch developed his idea thus:
The birth rate OF all civilized people
first remains stationary. then declines
when 4 certain stage of progress Is
reached. or rather when they have be-
come really prosperous. This is sure
sign of degeneration. II is the begin
ming of the end. The human race
must disappear If women become re-
luctant to rear children. | consider il
by no means impossible that human
beings will at some future time diSap-
pear from the earth because children
will cease. BY way of example, may
mention the population OF an island in
the Polynesian Archipelago, who were
happy and contcntcd until civilizing
influences were brought to bear on them
A remarkable tendency to race suicide
then became apparent among them.
The tribe ultimately ceased 10 bear
children. its total extinction could no,
be prevented, and this actually en-
sued. "
In conversations with Herr Zimmer-
man DR.. Koch referred to the dwindline
birth rate in England. France. anC
America. and he fore!old til at Germany

Danger In Raw Food.

Pennsylvania health commissioner,
DR.. Dixon, is vigilant official whose
warnings are many but sensible In
discussing the necessity of taking
every precaution to guard against ty-
phoid fever and other communicable
diseases, DR.. Dixon said recently:
There is no shutting our eyes to the
danger of eating unwashed raw fruit.
Food infected with typhoid fever by
dies caused many deaths among our
soldiers during the late Spanish-Amer-
lean war. The time and energy neces-
sary to wash raw fruit is bagatelle
alongside of case of typhoid fever. ="
1t is we'll to be wise in such matter
before trouble comes, and not after
That typhoid fever infection has been
spread by the infection of articles Of
diet eaten raw is matter of record in
this region as we'll as elsewhere, and
1t is better to be too fussy than too
careless in such a matter.-Spring-

Annual Report of Governor
of Alaska is Submitted

Years illustrating in striking way
the evils which must surely result from
the absence of vital records.
Domestic coal to the value Of $685.
1853 was shipped TO Alaska from the
United States during the fiscal year
ended June 80, according to their re-
port. In addition to this, foreign coal
valued at 1856, ,435 was imported dur
ing the year, bringing the total of all
coal importations for the year up to
$564,794. The increase in the total
value of the domestic coal imported
during the year over 1909 was $S6,121.
The importations of domestic mer-
chandise from the United States in
cluding coal, lumber, hardware and
machinery. provisions, liquors, etc,
showed an increase in 1910 over 1909
of $7S6,202.
Merchandise and precious metals
shipped from Alaska to the United
States during 1910, amounted to $34,-
62S,535, an increase as over 1909 Of
S299, 100, according to the report.

Beer and Flowers In Germany.

The Germans are a proverbially
thirsty nation. This fact has just been
strikingly illustrated in the farming
out of the various departments of a
new theater to be erected at Berlin.
The rent for the refreshment depart
ment in this theater is $4,000 per
annum, while that for the cloakrooms
is $4,000, for the playbills, s2.500
and for the florist, $4,000 1t has been
ascertained that in a theater with
1,400 seats a thousand glasses of beer
are sold on the average during each
performance, but that the sale of sand
wiches and other light refreshments
is of no consequence. 1t is beer first
and foremost that pays the piper.
and after the beer the flowers. This
also is characteristic. = Montreal

Laundry Stamped for Identifying.

In foreign countries some strange
methods are adopted for identifying
the contents of the washtub. In some
parts of France linen is defaced with
the whole name and address of the
laundry stamped upon it. and an ad-
ditional geometrical design to indicate
the owner of the property. In Bavaria
every patron of the washtub has a
number stamped in large characters
on his linen. In Bulgaria every laun-
dry has large number of stamps en-
graved with designs, and in Russia
the laundries mark linen with threads
worked in arrow shapes. In some
Russian towns the police periodically
issue regulations for laundries.

Der shop porter seems to last more

barber shop porter is jewel, but
after that he begins to fall off. In
