DECREASED DEATH
RATE FOR STATE
Bureau of Vital Statistics Shows
1.3 Loss Per 1000.
TUBERCULOSIS IN THE LEAD
Accidental Drowninqs Are Ninsty-One

ty-Three.

Madison.-During July, August and
September, 1911, 6,232 deaths were re-
ported to the state bureau of vital sta
tistics by the local registrars. This
is exclusive Of 387 still births and cor
responds to an annual death rate of
1857 per 1000 estimated population.
Comparing this rate with that of 11.87
per 1000 for July, August and Sep
tember, 1910, a decrease of 1.3 per
1000 for 1911 is revealed. During the
third quarter of 1910, 7,107 deaths, ex-
elusive of still births, were reported.
This shows decrease in the number
of deaths for 1911 of 875.
Considering the deaths reported by
age groups, the statistical table shows
that there is a decline of 367 in the
number of deaths among children un-
der one year of age; a decline of 2O2
in the age group from one to four
years, and decline in the number
of deaths of persons sixty-five years
of age or over. The decline of 500 in
the number of deaths of children un-
der four years of age is significant in
the boards opinion, and can be salts
factorily accounted for by careful
study of the deaths by diseases which
are tabulated for the quarterly bulle
tin.
Important causes of death with the
number of deaths from each disease
are as follows: Pulmonary tuberculo-
sis, ass; other tuberculosis, 102; ty-
phoid fever, 70; diphtheria, So; scar
let fever, 80; measles, Is; whooping
cough, Al; pneumonia, ESQ; diarrhoea,
enteritis under two years, 458; menin-
gifts, SO; influenza, 5; puerperal septi-
cemia, IS; cancer, 408; violence, 496;
still births, 387.
Considering the number of deaths
from violence, it is found that 81 re.

Caring for consumntives.

There are now four special methods
by which consumptive workingmen in
the United States are being cared for.
In such cities as Albany, Elmira and
Binghamton, N Y, the unions support
a separate pavilion or hospital In
cities like Hartford, New Britain and
South Manchester, Conn, the work
men contribute towards the mainte-
nance Of fund for the care of con-
sumptiVes. The employers also con-
tribute to these funds. There are also
two national sanatoria for the treat
ment of tuberculosis owned and oper-
ated by labor unions; one by the in
ternational Typographical union and
the other by the Printing Freshmen
and Assistants union. In Massachu-
sets, Illinois and elsewhere large cor
porations and manufacturers have
agreed voluntarily to care for all their
consumptive employees for limited
length of time.

Christ Gives Peace.

Christ gives peace by harmonizing
us with ourselves. The soul of man
is full of discords. Made to give
forth wonderful harmonies, it is now
an instrument all discordant and un-
strung Man is not master of him
self. His higher nature is at vari-
ance with his lower nature; his bet
ter impulses are the prey of those
that are base His heart is filed with
a thousand anxieties, and sin en-
trenched in the heart has rendered
dfscordant all the faculties of the
soul. There is no peace of mind,
there Is no tranquility Of the inner
man: all is discord and confusion.
Now there is nothing that will har-
monte self with self and calm this
agitated and untranquil sea of feeling
and emotion within except the grace
of Jesus Christ. This grace of God
will be as the oil upon the troubled
waters to calm the agitation within;
1t will give new note, to which all
the discordant strings of the heart
can be attuned Now Christ gives
this grace, and he is the only one who
can give it. Therefore. he is the Civ
er of peace. Out Of the inharmony of
our inner selves grows a wonderful
harmonious self. The whole inner
nature is concordant with the one
clear keynote, and this gives perfect
peace. And so, while all is harmon
ious within, the world has no power
to destroy that peace. The tranquil
fed soul is Independent of environ
ment. of men, of the world.

Points to Insurance Law.


State Insurance Commissioner H. L.
Ekern mailed circular letter to the
county clerks of Wisconsin asking
them to call the attention of their
county boards at the approaching fall
meeting to the fact that the last legis-
county buildings in the state insurance
fund.
The insurance of these buildings is
to cover 80 per cent Of their full
value, and the rate is to be only 60
per cent. Of the average rate charged
by responsible insurance companies
operating in the state
Under the law it Is optional with the
county board to insure county build
lngs in the state insurance fund, but
affirmative action must be taken by
a majority vote of the board.
If county decides to take advan-
tage of this law the county clerk
must notify the state insurance COM
missioner of the fact and the insur-
ance will go into effect on July 1 next
following the action of the board.
The premiums are to be paid to the
state insurance fund and all losses
are to be paid out of such fund. For
several years the state has carried its
own insurance and, with the exception
of the old capitol fire loss, the in
surance fund has always been able to
meet losses.

Merit Board Cuts States Expenses.


The 1911 session OF the Wisconsin
legislature required only one-third as
many employees as the session of 1901,
and the average cost for legislative
clerical help has been reduced As per
cent. in the past five years, or since
the installation of the civil service
system. These facts are shown by the
records of the state civil service COM
mission. The statement was made by
Secretary e. E. Doty.
While there are several states which
have civil service commissions, Wis
consin is the only one that selects en-
ployes of the legislature by the merit
rule. Opportunities for significant
comparisons are numerous. In 1901,
for example, when employees were
chosen under the spoils system, it re-
quired a clerical force of 255 at an
average daily expense of $502 to as
sist the lawmakers. In 1907 the same
work was done by 105 employees Sc
lected by civil service rules at an av
erage daily cost of only $2S7.
The session of the legislature
which ended July II, last, cost the
state approximately $4,000 for cler
ical help, an average daily expense OF
about 1886. In 1901 it cost the state
$3.50 for legislative clerical help for
| each bill introduced during the ses
sion. The cost per bill in the 1905
session was only $32.79. and the fig
ures indicate that the cost for the
last session was about $50 per bill
This is in striking comparison with
the legislature of Illinois which elect
ed Lorimer.
