DEATH BUSY
DURING MARCH

The number of deaths reported to the
bureau of vital statistics by the local
registrar, for the month of March, is
the largest turned in for any month
since 1906, when the act providing for
the immediate registration of births
and deaths went into effect. Readers
of the daily prints while impressed
with the frequency with which deaths
were noted during the month had lit
tie idea that the mortality would prove
a record breaker.
The report of the local registrar
shows that forty. four deaths occurred
in this district during March, of which
number thirteen took place at the hos
pital for the insane. OF the deaths only
three were due to contagious or infec
tious diseases-two to diphtheria and
one to typhoid fever. The largest nun.
Der of those who succumbed during
the month were aged or weakly per
sons, who had become debilitated by
the long and severe winter.
/ Typhoid fever is still ON the decline
only four cases being reported during
the month, which is better showing
than was made during either January
or February. Four cases of diphtherit
and two cases of scarlet fever were re
ported, showing that these two dis
eases, which constituted an epidemic
during the winter have nearly dieC
out. Notwithstanding that spring i
the season in which pneumonia is ap
to prevail yet only four cases of tha
disease we've reported during March
Two cases of mumps were reported.
The deaths have exceeded the birth
in this district for several months past
condition opposite to that whic
generally prevailed in the past. Til
full report for March has not as ye
been received. In January eightee
births We're reported as against thirty
one deaths; in February, twenty -tw
births as against twenty deaths.

When Mr.. Forney and his son return
ed home Tuesday morning they found
their watches missing along with the

the watches had gold-tilled case; the

sis of the figures renders them less
impressive
The young lady covers 61S miles a
year fifty-two miles a month. thirteen
miles a week, or about two miles a
day. 1t is safe to assume that aside
from her dancing she does not take a
great deal of violent exercise. And
two miles of dancing or walking a day
is not too much for any healthy young
woman.
There is likely TO be q good deal
of false sentiment about the hard
