DECLINE IN TUBERCULOSIS
DEATH RATE SAVED 27,Oee LIVES
"a YEAR.
Consumption Rate Falls Twice as Fast
AS General Death Rate.

In the decade from 1901 to 1910, the
death rate from tuberculosis i'm the
| United States declined from 1863 for
each 100000 persons living to 1908, "a
decrease of 1877 per cent, while the
general death rate, including all caus-
es Of death, declined only one-half as
fast, Oh ait the rate OF 9.7 per cent,
from 1850 to 1883.
\ These figures were given out I'm q
statement issued today by The Nation
I'll Association for the Study and Pre-
vention of Tuberculosis. They are
based on data distracted from the
reports of the United States Bureau of
the Census, and cover rne registration
area in this country. According to
the statement, the tuberculosis death
rate has declined steadily since 1904,
when 1T was 2O16. On the other
hand, the general death rate shows a
| fluctuatiOn downward in general trend,
but not as steady as the tuberculosis
rate The decline i'm the tuberculosis
death rate in the last ten years means
saving of $4,000 lives at the present
! time
| Tn certain cities, such a. New York,
Boston, Cleveland and Chicago, and
fin States like Massachusetts, Rhode
Island and Connecticut, the decline in
the tuberculosis death rate il much
more marked than in the country at
large.
The National Association says that
there are many factors working to
gether to cause the decline in the tu-
berculosis death rate, such factors a.
the change in the character Of our ur-
ban population, increased sanitation,
and better housing, but probably as
potent factor a. any has been the
nation wide anti-tuberculosis cam
paign. fit may be- foretold with con-
siderable certainty" the statement
concludes, that when the effects of
the present rapidly increasing provis-
ion for the care of tuberculosis pa
tents shall have become evident, the
decline in the death rate from con
sumption in the coming decade will be
even more marked than that In the
| last one"

FIRE MAY BE
INCEND!ARY
Search Made for Men Suspected Of
Firing Planning
Mills.
QUARREL is BLAMED.
QUARREL
Fancied Wrong is Alleged to be
Cause Of the De-
struction.

Iowa City, Jan. 16.-Fire which
destroyed the Freyder Planning mills
late Saturday night now is believed
to have been of incendiary origin
and a search is being instituted for
those suspected of the act.
F. x. Freyder, owner Of the mills,
refused to make any names public,
but it is understood that several
people recently have had grudges
against the Iowa City man on ac-
count of quarrels over work and
that threats were made on one side
that the parties would take revenge
upon him.
A fact which furthers the incen-
diary theory is that the fire had
gained such an enormous Roadway
before 1t was discovered and the
whole central portion of the build
ing was a mass of flames when the
FIRE departments arrived. Mr.. Frey
der; declares all fires were out at
that time Of night and no combust-
ible material had been left within.
The entire force Of volunteer fire.
men here was unable to make any
Roadway against the flames and
scarcely thing of value was saved.
The exact loss will pass the $10,-
900 mark and only $1,000 insurance
was carried on the building.

A BAN
ON DIVORCE
Waterloo Attorney Turns Down Ap-
plicants for Legal
Separtion.
REDUCTION is POSSIBLE
Edward M. Mccoy Believes Quarrels
Could be Settled Sat
factorily.

Waterloo, JAM 16.-Edward H.
Mccoy, assistant county attorney,
has decided that he will take no
more suits for divorce. His declara-
ton was a sort of New Years reso-
luton and since the first of the year
he has turned down three applicants
for legal separation.
II believe that if every attorney
would look with disfavor upon the
divorce business he says, "and re-
fuse to draw complaint immediate
ly, but tell the offended spouse to
think the matter over for a month,
divorces would be reduced 60 per
cent A great many divorce actions
grow out Of family quarrels, when
the husband or wife is in an angry
and unreasoning mood. If they
would walt a month and consider
the step calmly, it is my opinion
that this growing evil of divorce,
which rapidly is becoming a nation
al disgrace, would in large measure
be done away with. Once an action
is started and the matter has been
aired in the community through
gossip or the public press, pride Of
tentimes forbids a withdrawal and
stands in the way of a reconcile
ton"
