HEALTH OF NATION
MUCH IMPROVED
Census Returns Averaged From
Many Cities Give Death Rate
of 10 Per 1000.

WASHINGTON. Sept 23.-rhe deatl,
rate IN the United States In 1909 was
iiteen In each one thousand, according
10 bulletin about TO be issued by the
census bureau and this is the lowest av-
erage ever recorded for this country, The
hsures cover only the cities and states
having laws requiring the registration OF
deaths. and these represent an estimated
total population OF 1915, S93. or 5S 5 per
cent Of the estima ted total for the entire
country.
The states included in the summary
are California Colorado. Connecticut in
diana, Maine, Maryland Massachusetts
Michigan. New Hampshire New Jersey.
New York. Ohio. Pcnnsylvanis. Rhode
Island, South Dakota, Vermont Washing
ton and Wisconsin
In addition 10 these returns were re-
ccived from iifty-four cities having local
registration laws.
The total number OF deaths recorded
was I52,53S OF which GoS, ,597, or over 81
per cent, were OF males. The Erca test
mortality occurred in March and the low
est in June. In 1908 the rate was Ia 4
per cent. She last year Indicating Il falling
of of about half OF ! per cent
Excellent as the showing lg IL was not
so good as was made in England, where
the rate was only fourteen and half 10
the thousand The low rate in both
countries is attributed to the absence OF
widespread epldenics.

THE EYE

Specialist Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat. 512
and 613 Grant Building
What is astigmatism? 1t is an I'M
equal curvature of the corona of the
eye.
The perfect eye is a perfect sphere,
one in which all of the parallel rays of
light come to a common focus. In
astigmatism the parallel rays of light
do not come to a common focus, one
ray may focus on the retina and the
other back of it, or one ray may focus
before the retina and the other one on
or even back Of the retina, making
what we call mixed astigmatism. In
some cases the eye is sphere, ana
both rays come to a common focus
either before or back of the retina.
The eye can be compared to pho
tographic instrument. Every photog-
rapher knows that he will not get
clear picture unless he gets the proper
focus on his camera. The reason
glasses cost more to grind in some
cases than others is because there are
more errors of refraction in some eyes
than others; otherwise everyone could
buy on the street glasses that would fit
them.
Science says that there is no such
thing as the perfect eye, as every eye
has some aStigmatiSm. Only about
per cent of people have such little
amount that it is not necessary to take
into account in grinding the lenses; 50
per cent have enough astigmatism to
requires special ground lenses before
they get absolute comfort and relief
from eye strain and headaches. If as
tigmatism was regular in every eye in
the same meridian it would be possible
to keep in stock lenses already ground
for every condition, but the astigma-
tism may be near sighted or far sight
ed in the parallel meridian or horizon
tai meridian, or it may be oblique at
the sixtieth or hundred and fiftieth
meridian, or any other. If it was not
for astigmatism any tyro could fit
glasses perfectly with a few hours
practice Some people have been wear
ing jewelry store opticians glasses all
their lives and do not realize how
much satisfaction they could get by
having a tense ground to fit by an
expert oculist.
Nervous exhaustion is often caused
by errors of refraction and statistics
and even in my own practice L nave
seen night sweats of early consump-
ton, diabetes, kidney and stomach
trouble cured by wearing proper-ftting
glasses.

pirates or storm. He lays special stress
upon the fact that a single boat was
missing from the deserted boat, and
this was one which the captain and
crew would PROBABLY have used in
abandoning the boat. Mr.. Putnam has
discovered that the rope of this boat
was cut, not united, indicating that
when the boat was abandoned 1t was
done with the greatest poss.b haste.
Still another bit of evidence gener-
ally overlooked is that the log of the
ship several times, reports ominous
rumblng and small explosions from
the hold.
He concludes that the crew had been
terrified by a series of small explosions
in the petroleum cargo Such ca go
naturally gives off explosive gas, and
such rumblings and explosions are not
uncommon. This terror Is indicated in
the entries in the ships log.
1t is supposed that one day, prob
ably in good weather. there was an
especially violent explosion. A sailor
may have gone below with light
- a burning cigar and set off the
accumulated fumes.
This explosion was violent enough
to blow off the covering Of the hatch,
which was found in an unusual posi-
ton. So great was the terror of the
captain and his crew that they at once
piled into the lifeboat, cut the rope and
put to sea.

THE TURKISH BATH

This method of opening the pores has
in the past been found very useful
therapeutic agent for relieving the sys-
tenn of impurities which the kidneys
and other eliminative organs were un-
able to accomplish without the aid OF
the skin
The Turkish bath must be admins
tered to the patient in temperature
of from $50 degrees to 40 degrees
Fahrenheit, and therein lies it's prlnr
cipal objection, which is, that the pa
tient is compelled to inhale this steam
ing, heated air which is very liable 10
produce disagreeable effects.
The electric light cabinet has largely
superseded the old style method of in
ducing perspiration commonly known
as the Turkish bath. It's principal ad-
vantage lies in the fact that while a
high temperature is applied to the nude
body of the patient his head remains
outside of the cabinet, thereby being
enabled to breathe atmosphere of the
ordinary room temperature. However,
the high price and expense of operat-
ing will not permit the ordinary fam
ily to own one of these cabinets.
The application of the electric cur
rent for therapeutic requirements mas
within the last few years, made very
rapid strides. In no one article is this
more evident than in its application
to pads and blankets, thereby produc-
Los Angeles herald., 1910-10-30
S

ing heat in varying degrees for appli-
cation direct to the body. These pads
are now made in various styles and
sizes to answer every requirement. In
stead of using the cumbersome old
style water bottle an electric pad,
wired to give the requisite amount of
heat, is very much more convenient
and serviceable and is always ready
for instant use, as it attaches to any
electric lighting socket. Blankets are
also made of a sufficient size to cover
the patient from neck to feet, thus
leaving the head exposed. BY this
method copious perspiration is rapidly
induced and there is no better method
for eliminating impurities from the
system. Such diseases as rheumatism,
govt, lumbago neuritis, la grippe,
colds, etc, are always benefited and
in many instances cured. Thus we
have a comfortable, safe and modern
method of obtaining benefits of the
Turkish bath in the home at a cost
within the reach of every family.

JOLLY TIMES AT WELLESLEY

At any rate, everywhere are girls,
nothing but girls.

paths they roam, blurs of white with an
occasional dot made by a seniors cap

For Wat do girls go there?
To see them wanderi about o er
the h lis and through the little val eys
dim from overhanging branches that
have seen SO many girls come and go,
to hear them laugh who che drteoly,
you would say that many Of them had
come there for fun. A great many of
the girls are there for study-WitneSs

some are there for both, and SINE be-
cause dad wanted them to go, and
some because it is the thing to do, and
so on, just as in any college in the
world.
What are girls at Wellesley wear
ing?
Sensible girlish dresses! No hot BILE
skirts for them, no plumed hats W tn
lace undercaps. To be sure they may
have hobble gowns by the score hang
ing Imply in their C cts, or e abor-
ate hats carefully tucked under the
touches in the milliners box, but you
don't see any of them on the campus.
Short skirt and sailor blouse, W tn
tie knotted at the throat-this is the
most popular costume. If it gets cold,
slip on a sweater, or if it rains p t On
a rubber coat and pull an oilskin south
wester down over the face, and ere
you are.
All the girls go hatless. A hat on
the campus is a rarity, as are elab-
crate coiffures. rhey do up tn ir hair
thickly not to be late at lectures and
although you NAV see empire puffs
once in a while the ma o ity Of EN-
are satisfied with simple coils or
braius.
Perhaps you wonder how mich it
costs to go to Wellesley.
Wei, it costs $175 for tn ton and
$275 for living. There are no more eX-
ponsive suites reserved for t e richest
girls. Money cannot purchase par

There is no 400" at Wellesley, no

Western Leagne To stand.

Denver. Aug. 3g-The Western
league is not apt to be reduced to
class b. on the authority of certain
local baseball men who are cognizant
of the inside workings Of the National
Baseball association.
According to these gentlemen who
are not connected with the present
management and who do not, there
fore, care to have their names made
public, a written agreement is spread
on the minutes of the National Base
ball association to the effect that
while the Western league may be
raised to class AA, ii will never be
reduced. The reason for this goes
back to the time of the trouble be-
tween the American association and
the n B. A. At that time, as the
older fans will recall. the Western
league officials had much to do with
saving organized baseball at time
when it appeared almost certain that
great baseball war was inevitable
hv throwing their influence against
the A. A.
The resolution thet the Western
should always retain its class A rat
ing was introduced as a direct result
and it now stanSs upon the minutes
of the association.
These statements were substan-
tiated in effect last night by President
Tip O'Neill of the Western league in
a wire to Manager Hendricks. Mr.
O'Neill stated that the Western has
not yet been reduced and that 1t will
not be this season. His telegram
goes on further but by those on the
inside. IL Is affirmed that O'Neill has
other facts in reserve for use should
he find them necessary in order to
protect his league

HOBO DE LUKE bEATS
HIS WAY ON AUTOS

Oshkosh, Wis. Aug. 3O.-Jimmie
Morgan, "a, of this city is the hobo
de luxe. James-as he says he was
christened-st stands alone i'm the an
nails of Weary Willie history as a
beater of cross country rides in tour
ing cars. He doesn't deign to ask for
ride but takes 1t and thanks the
auto owner after the trip is finished.
He got his idea one day in Oshkosh
as big dusty touring car passed
through en- route to Milwaukee
James hopped aboard the trunk rack
and then repeated the performance
into Chicago.
That was a week ugc out he was
stalled when it came to making his
getaway from Windyville, for he
couldn't spot a tourist As an alter
native he took freight train to Fort
wayne, Ind. and waited for another
auto ride.
J. w. Burcham OF Indianapolis was
leaving Fort Wayne for indianapolis
and Jimmie made him the victim. In
an Oldsmobile limited Burcham left
Fort Wayne Sunday morning early
and when he reached INDIANAPOLIS
Jimmie dropped off the trunk rack al
the rear of the big machine and smil.
ed at the driver.
Thanks pal, for de lift" he said
and you needn't feel bad about il
Tor 1t was swell ridin' with those big
wheels. I might a asked you fer the
ride. but it's my plan to ride first
and talk about it afterward."
He explained that he caught the
car at Fort Wayne and everytime a
stop was made he left the trunk rack
and stepped away few feet, then
caught the machine again as it start
ed.
Il guess there's some class to the
auto ridin' hobo, amt there? was
Jimmie's parting sally. as he left to
seek another auto travelling south,
but he had supper at the expense OF
the motorist first
