THE soUR-MILK CRAZE.

From the discussion at the British
Medical association 1t seems there Is
some danger even in the use OF the
simple but rather unpleasant sour
milk treatment.
1t Is Just as well to know this, be-
cause Tactic acid and Tactic milk and
Tactic cheese are being banded about
freely; and very soon we may expect
craze. Everybody will be dosing
himself or herself with sour milk in
some form or other for almost every
i'll, real or imaginary. DIR. Grunbaum,
who opened the discussion, said he
had never seen case where sour
milk did harm. But, according to DR..
Bryce II may bring on rheumatism.
and another doctor. speaking general
ly, said in some instances 1t had done
more harm than good.
The danger will be, We fancy, in
people doctoring themselves, the
remedy is so familiar and simple; and
the result will be excess, always dan
gerous in anything. II may be nasty,
but people soon acquire tastes, and
the safe rule Is for the sour-milk
treatment to be In the hands of the

The Suicide Record of 1909

with a rate Of DOL, and Hoboken third
with a rate Of 52-6. Interestingly, Mr|
Hoffman finds the same cities mainI
tanning their high suicide rates FROM
year to year with almost unbrokeI
regularity. II Is actually significant
however. and not readily explained
that most OF the cities returning high
est suicide rates contain proportion

Perhaps the most striking concluI
sion Is to be drawn from a study Of
the methods resorted to by those bent

the suicide Is at heart a coward. This
has been asserted often, but here
seems capable Of mathematical dem

of IA per cent for i've years, 1900-19O6,

One Is almost tempted TO take a
gloomy view Of our complex Ameri-
can civilization on looking over the
suicide record for last year, published
last week by The Spectator, a life
insurance journal Of this city. to find
that 1880 persons deliberately took
their own lives. This feeling Of dis
couragement Is not lessened by a COM
parison of these figures with the rec
ords for previous years. II is true
that the unofficial estimate for 1909
is not greater than the actual record
for 1908. But the latter was the great
est suicide year In the history Of the
country, due In large measure, 1t was
thought, to the after-effects of the
1907 panic. Fair comparisons must
embrace a considerable number Of
years, and then the almost unbroken
increase becomes apparent; the ex-
cessive sacrifice of lives little short
of appalling.
In 1890 sixty.fve leading American
cities showed a population Of 10,90S,-
AL, 1,343 suicides, and a suicide rate
Of 1878 per 100000 population. Five
years later these cities had increased
in population to 12,623,983, with L.
900 suicides, or 1873 suicides for every
loo, 900 persons. In 1900 the rate was
1913, 1913 In 1909, and 20.7 in 1904.
There was a slight falling of in sui
cides for the next three years, q
period of general prosperity, but the
panic in the fall Of 1907 sent the rate
again above 20 per cent, and there
II remains. The full force Of the In
crease is at once seen by the close
association OF the rates, 1873 and 20.6,
at the two extremes Of the twenty
year period.
Mr.. Frederick l.. Hoffman. who ana
lyzed the figures for The Spectator,
has been able TO draw some interest
ing conclusions. Fortytwo OF the SIX
ty-five cities for which the records are
complete show an increase for last
year over 1908, the slight decrease
In each OF the three remaining TWEEN
ty.three cities alone bringing down
the average a point below the hign-
record rate Of the year before.
The increase was greatest In Dem
yer, or 22.2 per cent, followed by
Salt Lake City with 22.1 and Hoboken
with % per cent. The highest actual
rate in 1909 prevailed In San Francis
co, with 1913 suicides for every 100000
population. Oakland, on the opposite
side of San Francisco Bay, came next

411a TONS AT ONE BR0ADSIDE.

The most dramatic incident OF the
gun-flring trials Of the new Brazilian
battleships, Minas Geraes and Sac
Paulo. was the firing Of an entire
broadside simultaneously, making a
terrific discharge, the heaviest broad
side ever fired, and an event unpar-
alleled in the history OF ballistics.
The 1--WE turrets of the ship were all
trained on the port beam. all the ten
guns being given an elevation OF sew
en- degrees and loaded with a full
charge of 285 pounds Of cordite. The
ten 12-inch guns, monster weapons
so feet long. each discharged shell
of $50 pounds weight. making a total
of $500 pounds weight OF ihetG "A;
the same time were fired the eleven
Al guns mounted on the Sac Paulo's
broadside, each sending OF a projec.
tile weighing As pounds, and adding
495 pounds to the discharge, making
ND a total broadside fire amounting
to 1896 pounds record discharge OF
destructive projectiles. These yes
sells mount, as light guns In addition
six 3-pounders on each broadside
which, fred in action, would bring uI
the total possible weight of metal fir
ed from the ship to 9,013 pounds.
The most notable feature Of the
Minas Geraes Is her superimposed tur
rets, and 1t Is interesting to note that
our newest Dreadnoughts of the Orion
and Colossus type will carry guns sc
mounted. The wings Of the navigat
ing bridge are removed for action
