The City Rather Proud Of
Some Vital Statistics.
No Deaths in 1910 Of The Ages

More Births TO American Parents
Than In Any Other City.

Belfast, Me, Jan. 2i-(SpeciaD. If
having over 1909 school children, which
can show as low death record as Bel
fast, il has yet to make itself known. Ac-
cordng to the records in the office Of
city Clerk E. +. Littlefield, there was not
one death from natural causes in Belfast
of a person between the ages of and Is
years during the year of 1910 one child
died at the age OF three years as the re-
suit of burns.
In 1903 there were but two deaths be-
tween the ages of and IS years, one a
child of years, dying of pneumonia, and
one. aged Il. of appendicitis. During the
two years, however, I'll deaths are record
ed in Belfast. OF these IS were over ~
wears of age, and eight over 80. one

Der were between the ages of 20 and 20,
and n very small percentage were be-
tween 20 and 80. In 1910 the largest num-
Der of deaths. l6, occurred in the month
of April. while in 1909 April recorder the

Maine Does this account for the Won

fast was the first city in Maine to make
examination of the eye. ear and throat
compulsory and as a result every child
attending the public schools is examiner
by either the city physician or the fam

school board As a result of this eXami-
nation hundreds of Belfast children have
been operated upon for adenoid growth.

to have them. The eyes and hearing have
also been looked after and to the carefu!
watch of the teachers. school supcrlhten-
dent and medical advisers, much credit
for the health Of the children may be due.
