SUBSCRIPTION RATES:
Saving Of $1,000 Lives.

In the decade from 1901 to 1910.
the death rate from tuberculosis in
the United States declined from
1869 for each 100000 persons living
to 1903, decrease Of 1877 per cent .
while the general health rate. includ-
ing all causes of death. declined only
one-half as fast. or at the rate of 81
per cent, from 1855 0 to 1858.
These figures were given out in a
statement issued by the National AS
sociation for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis. They are bas-
ed on data distracted from the re-
ports Of the United States Bureau Of
the Census. and cover the registra-
ton area of this country. Accord
ing to the statement, the tubercu-
losis death rate has declined steadily
since 1904, when it was 201.6. On
the other hand, the general death
rate shows flucuation downward in
general trend. but not as steady
rs the tuberculosis rate. The
decline in the tuberculosis death rate
in the last ten years means saving
of q, 600 lives at the present time.

There were tears in the vibrant
contralto voice as it poured forth
Kingsley's plaintive words in the

The woman's hands left the piano

gay cushions, lay the owner Of the
protesting voice.
"Why, Iris, dearw she exclaimed.

There was no answer save a
muffied sob and, laying her hand
upon the fluffy hair of the weeping
girl, Edith Vane stood silent until
her niece's grief should have spent

To The Electors OF The City Of
Canton.

The Sioux Valley Power Co, thr0-
ugh It's officers and stockholders, de-
sires to express Its gratitude to the
electors OF the city OF Canton for the
generous support given it's application
for a franchise at the recent, city cleo
tion. While we very much regret that
so liberal a proposition as ours did
not appeal with sufficient force to the
voters TO secure its acceptance, we
appreciate the fact that many were
induced to vote against The franchise
by promises Of as good or q better
proposition which others were ready
and willing to make but had not then
done so.
Another appeal to local pride was
made under the why not work for
Canton phrase, which doubtless also,
contributed to the defeat Of the fran
chise. We believe however, that II the
promises made on election day are
fulfilled with reasonable dispatch,
The Sioux Valley Power Co may just
ly claim a share In comforting upon
the city better rates and safeguards
than it had heretofore received OF
was in anywise likely to have gotten
but for It's application for a franchise.
The Company awaits with interest
the forthcoming of the proposition
promised on election day.
Very Truly.

the direction Of Silver Star Lodge OF
this city, T. T. Smith Worshipful
Master, and O. S. Clifford as Marshal,

by Mrs. Phillips, a friend Of the
family.
