DEATH RATE IN MAY
Lower than Any Previous Month
During Present Year
DEATHS DURING MONTH 1886
Records Filed With DR.. Sumner, Reg.
istrar of Vital Statistics, Show
I, Falling off Of 200 in Number
for Month.

Des Moines, July 1.-THE Iowa
death rate for the month of May was
lower than for any other month of
the present calendar year, according
to the monthly death table prepared
by the registrar of vital statistics, DR..
Sumner. The total deaths in Iowa
during May were 1,435, which is 200
less than the lowest month heretofore
during the year. With the general
death rate decrease there was con-
siderable decrease in the number of
deaths from tuberculosis in May as
compared with the number in April,
but the number in May exceeds the
number in the other months OF the
year with the exception of April. The
total deaths from tuberculosis in
May was lit, which is ten less than
for April.
The number of deaths from organic
heart trouble was less in May than
any other month this year with the
exception of January, the total num-
Der being 1913. In January there were
only 1S5 deaths from this disease.
The death rate at the state institu-
tons was lower in May than for any
other month of the year, the total
number in the fifteen institutions be-
ing twenty-one. OF this number nine
were from the Iowa Soldiers home at
Marshalltown.
In January there were no deaths in
the Soldiers home, there were ten
in February, five in March, five in
April and nine in May. In every
month, with the exception Of Janu-
airy, the deaths at the Soldiers home
exceeded those at any other state in
stitution.
In May, as in the other months Of
the year there were more deaths
among them. Among the whites there
among the single ones, the ratio last
month being 63S married people to
494 single ones. The colored resi-
dents seem to have stood the month
better than any month during the
year, there being only seven deaths
anon gthem. Among the whites there
were 1,425 deaths. During the past
month there was not a death from
smallpox in the state.
Massacre VIII Be Pulled of.
The claims of Abby Gardner Sharp
| sole survivor of the Spirit Lake mas
sacre, that the state fair board will
violate her copyright in reproducing
the massacre at the state fair next
! fall, are not considered sound or suf
ficient by Secretary Simpson of the
state fair board. He says the show
will go on as scheduled.
Mrs. Sharp has written book
about the slaughter at Spirit Lake
and this book is copyrighted. She
contended in a conference with Sec
rotary Simpson that the state could
not put on the show without using
her book, and that unless she secured
royalties she would hold up the per
Torrance under her copyright.
Secretary Simpson asserts, howev
er, that the state is not producing q
play on information gathered from
Mrs. Sharp's book.
This entertainment is billed and
advertised as Scenes in Iowa in From
tier Days." said Secretary Simpson

destroyed by fire, which caught, appar-

Blacksmith Oscar Hedrick. Part of the
household goods of the latter were
saved, but nearly all the family person

been any record in May since 1860. 1t

AINDoo COOKING.
All the Nutriment In Vegetables Saved
by Cooks In india.

by Cooks In India.
In India it is literally case Of
being vegetarian or starving, for
the Hindoos of Hindustan, taking
them almost as whole, are enjoin-
ed by their religion to abstain from
eating meat. They are not allowed
even to open the she'll of an egg,
because by SO doing they would de-
stroy the life within it.
Thus they are compelled to sub
sist on vegetarian diet or go hun
CRY. But if the cooks Of India
were to prepare their vegetables for
the table as do the women of Amer
lea, writes st. Nihal Singh in the
Nautilus, it is certain that the Hin
docs would be meat eaters. II
would be impossible for them to
live on a vegetarian diet.
This for an essential reason. The
American cook boils all the flavor
as we'll as the vitality out of the
vegetables and throws it away. The
occidental cook declares this opera
ton is necessary, as the flavor of
he vegetable is too strong and pro-
nounced if the water is not drained
away from it. Be that as it may,
the result is that the food has lest
much Of its nutriment and is USE
less to build up or sustain the body.
Moreover, the boiling process rem
ders the dish more or less insipid in
flavor.
The East Indian cook works on
directly opposite principle. The
woman of India is taught that the
food must be cooked in its own
steam or.with just enough water to
generate steam to cook it, and ev-
cry drop of moisture must be evap-
Grated before the food is served un-
less it is to be eaten with a gravy
or shorba, in which case a small
quantity Of liquid is allowed to re-
main on it.
But as usual thing not a drop
OF water is drained away. This
would be looked upon as positively
saerllcgious and wasteful by the
East Indians. The American throws
away as useless every day what
would keep an East Indian family
from starvation.
This fact was demonstrated when
during a siege the Indian soldiers
requested that the water in which
the rice was cooked alone should be
issued to them, while the rice itself
might be served to the English SOL
dicrs. This was done, and the ma
tive scpoys apparently were as we'll
fed as their white brothers.

An Extraordinary Shower.

Daniel O'Connell, the Irish agi-

SAID, put into his mouth opinions
he had never expressed. He vowed
that if the editor did not apologize
he would move that he be brought
to the bar for breach of privilege.
Next day the reporter of the speech
waited upon O'Connell and gave a
most remarkable explanation. He
stated that during his walk from
the house to his Office in Fleet

q Swiss missionary, was returning
to Basle from South America, TAX

covered in ancient Patagonian bury

"bones OF animals" and demanded
duty at the rate Of penny pounds
The missionary protested, and it
was presently agreed that as the
skulls were for scientific purposes
they must be allowed to enter with
out payment
The only question was how to
classify them for the purposes Of
the Swiss statistical bureau. This
problem was debated at great
length, but ultimately the skulls
went through as personal effects

PUTTING SPlRITUALlSTS
TO A REAL TEST

NEW YORK. September 1.-THE
fact that several spiritualistic meetings
recently asserted that they have re-
ceived messages from the late Prof.
William James of Harvard, one Of
whose favorite themes was the pos
sibiIity of communication between the
dead and the living, has led the Metro
political Psychological Society to pro-
pose a test as TO the validity of all
such assertions.
The society offers a prize of $1,000 to
any medium who viii obtain from the
spirit of Professor James, when 1t
speaks through them, a statement of
the contents of a certain letter sent
by him a few days before his death to
V. 5. Davis, secretary Of the society.
Mr. Davis has the letter from Pro
fessor James in his safe. No one else
has seen it or has received from him
any mixing Of its contents.
The Psychological Society in making
public the prize. makes the following
comment on claims made by mediums:
'SThe great difficulty with all mes
sages so far published is that they are
vague. indefinite and trashy and could
have been conoocted by anyone. Such
alleged communications have invaria-
bly, followed the demise of all persons
of note in the spiritualistic field, but
the very simple test herein proposed
would considerably narrow the ques-
ton down. and should easily be within
the capability of any person actually
in communication with the spirit OF
the late Professor James.
Owe recognize in Professor James a
great and open-hearted investigator.
We have striven TO maintain his spirit
of open-mindednes toward all asser-
tions and have endeavored to give them
a full hearing and fair trying out.
That we have never encountered any
phenomena of superhuman kind does
not wholly discourage us from looking
into fresh assertions advanced as to
the existence of such. -

WOMEN AND HAPPINESS.

Apart from the crude economic ques-
ton, the things that most women mean
when they speak Of happiness that
is, love and children and the little re-
public of the home-depended upon the
favor of men, and the qualities that
win this favor are not IN general those
that are most useful for other purposes
\ girl should not be too intelligent or
too good or too highly differentiated IN
any direction. Like a readymade gar
ment, she should be designed to fit the
average man, says the Atlantic. She
should have Just about as much rell-
gion as my William likes" The age
long operation of this rule, by which
the least strongly individualized WON
en- are the most likely to have a
chance to transmit their qualities, has
given it the air of natural law.
Though the lady has generally yielded
it unqueStiOulng obedience, she often
dreams of a land Ike that of the ANA
IONS, where she might be judged on her
merits instead of on her charms. See
ing that IN the world a woman 5 social
position. her daily food. her chance of
children, depend on her eXertlng sui
fcIent charm to induce some man to
assume the responsibility and expense
Of maintaining her for life. and that
the qualities on which this charm de-
ponds are sometimes altogether unat-
taiuable by a given woman, it IS not
surprising that exceptional women are
willing TO eliminate from their lives
the whole question Of marriage and
motherhood for the sake of a free de-
velopment, irrespective Of its bearing
1 on the other sex.
