VIAL STATISTICS
From the Texas State Board OF
Health Bulletin for
October,

A colored school teacher was
heard TO make the assertion the
other day that aristocracy and
chiidlessness 90 hand in hand. -
When one notes that the births
of October show a decrease of
sos over that of September, we
wonder if Texas is suddenly be.
coming aristocratic. There
were only 5225 babies reported
to us this month, out of which
were only 81 sets Of twins, and
! set OF triplets; a decrease of
u sets of twins and l set OF
tripletS being shown.
"On the other hand there were
- more deaths than in Septem-
Der. tuberculosis OF the lungs,
as usual, heads the list with an
increase of 81 deaths over Sep
TENDER due doubtless TO the
setting in of cooler weather.
Typhoid still holds its own as
the leading cause of death tex
cepting, Of course, the Great
White P.aguel. October has
been called by some the typhoid
month. The word typhoid
means a stupor-hke fever, and
1t mas been proven by statistics
that out OF every 100, 600 inhabi-
tants of the United States, 80. ,
die ever year from typhoid
fever. The death rate per lO0,
900 in Scotland is O.; IN Ger
many IS; in England and Wales,
ll2; in Italy. 35.2. Differences
IN climate, soil and geographical.
pecuiaritles are not sufficient 10
explain these variations. The
explanation Is dependent upon
differences In the sanitary in
telIlgence Of the people OF these
countries. We lose 81, 900 lives
every year IN the United States
from typhoid fever, % addition
we nave 30, 900 others SICK on an
average of SIX weeks each.
Certainly the typhoid problem is
d grave concern for our country
to grapple with, and We OF
Texas are supplying our quota
Texans should remember that
A sanitary privy costs ten
dollars; a case OF typhoid fever
costs a hundred. " One seldom
has both.
