TUBERCULOSIS LEADS CAUSES
According to Report of State Bureau
Of Vital Statitlcs, 5,949 Persons
StiIIbirths Are Not
Included.

Madison.-This year during July,
August and September 5,949 deaths
were reported to the state bureau of
vital statistics by the various local
registrars
This is exclusive Of stiilbirths and
represents an annual death rate for
the state of 99S per 1000 estimated
population. This rate is compared
with that Of 1877 for 1910 and 1857
for 1911, being considerably lower
than both.
This marked decline in the death
rate is due almost entirely to the
great saving in infant life during the
summer months, the bureau adds.
There were 273 less deaths among
children under one year old during
the quarter than for a similar period
last year. This will account for prac-
tically all of the decrease in the mum
Der of deaths recorded and shows that
a great advance has been made in
knowledge of the care Of young chill
dren during the hot summer months.
Deaths of children under one year
numbered / ,118 during the period An
examination of the causes of death
reveals that in nearly fifty per cent.
or the cases the children died as the
result of ignorance regarding proper
care and feeding.
Comparisons of deaths from certain
diseases for the third quarter Of 1912
with a similar report for 1911 shows
an increase in the number as follows:
Whooping cough, 10; meningitis, %;
influenza, 5; puerperal septicaemia, 2.
There was decrease in the deaths
reported from the following diseases:
Pulmonary tuberculosis, "a; other
forms of tuberculosis, So; typhoid fe-
yer, l9: diphtheria, 10; measles, g.;
pneumonia. 30; cancer, 81; violence, 3.
Comparing the number of deaths by
age groups, the report shows de-
crease Of 273 in the number OF chill
dren under one year Of age, Of 26 In
the age group from one to four years,
and OF 40 in the number Of deaths OF
persons sixty-fve years of age and
over.
Important causes Of deaths and
their number were: Pulmonary tuber
culosis, AL other tuberculosis, 67; ty.
phoid fever, 81 diphtheria, AZ; scarlet
fever, 80; measles, 8; whOoping cough,
81: pneumonia. 20; Diarrhoea, and en-
teritis under two years. 1852; menin-
gifts, 1876; influenza, 10; puerperal sep
ticaemia, 18: cancer, 1896; violence,
487, and stillbirths, 377.
The northern section of the state
has death rate for this period of 81
per 1000 estimated population, while
the rate for the central section is 9,38
and in the southern section Ill.
OF the deaths from violence, 10 re-
suited from accidental drowning, 81

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, August 10.-The cot

Decline of Z to IL
Points

New York. August 1o-The cotton mar
ket was nervous and irregular today on
an early rally. FOLLOWED by renewed weak
ness, and with the close barely steady
at net decline of to II points.
The market opened steady at decline
1 to points. which was only partially
responsible for the general steadiness.
The eastern belt forecast for local show
ers tonight and tomorrow appeared to en-
courage the demand, but the appearance
of selling options in the hands of lead
ing spot brokers checked the rally, and
the market later turned easier again.
Wall street and local traders were cred
tied with being the chief buyers In the
early rally, while several prominent spot
houses were supposed to be selling and
the offerings from this source were cred
tied by local gossip with being chiefly
responsible for the setback In the later
trading. Business was much less active
than yesterday.

London Stock Market

London, August 10-Although the trad
ng on the stock exchange during the
week was largely of a holiday character
the understone was more cheerful and IN
most of the sections prices closed at mod
crate gains. The prospects of the money
collected under the insurance act being
invested in gilt edged securities prompted
fresh purchases in this section.
Consols gained another 3-16ths and many
home railway bonds advanced over
point. while good traffic reports, the ia
vorable statement of the board OF trade
for the month of July and revived con-
fdence In the passage of the railway bill
sent home rails higher. The Balkan SIT
uation, however. kept foreign securities
in rather an uncertain state.
Business broadened in the misceilan-
eous section. where shipping, iron, steel,
oil and rubber stocks all received atten-
ton and advanced at the end of the week.
Renewed buying also wiped out early
weakness in gold mine shares.
