WHITE PLAGUE LESS DEADLY
Decrease In Death Rate From Tubereu'
iosis Means Saving Of 27,oo0
lives In Ten Years. "a

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. q
decrease Of 1877 per cent. while the
general death rate, including all cases
OF death, declined only one.half as fast.
or at the rate Of 81 per cent. from
1850 to 1888. according to figures
given out by the National Association
Tor the Study and Prevention Of Tu-
berculosis. The figures are based on
data abstracted from. the reports of
the United States bureau Of the cen.
sus, and cover the registration area
or this country. According to the
statement, the tuberculosis death rate
has declined steadily since 1904, when
1t was 201.6. On the other hand. the
general death rate shows a fiuctuation
downward in general trend, but not as
steady as the tuberculosis rate. The
decline In the tuberculosis death rate
IN the last ten years means a saving
OF $1,000 lives at the present time.

change. The eruption on his cheeks
was almost healed. and his shoulders.

old. all trace Of the eczema was gone.
During his teething period. his
head and face were broken out in

READY FOR
DEMOCRATIC
CONVENTION
Fallon Prepares for a
Big Time

FALON, New. May 26--Great
preparations are on foot to entertain
the visitors to the Democratic State
Convention here on June Sd and III
the work not only the Democrats but
the entire towns population is lend
ing enthusiastic assistance. The
Democrats have already secured
subscriptions amounting to more than
twice that raised for the Republican
Convention, and Lem Allen has given
his word that accommodations will
be provided for everyone who comes,
with some possibility OF refresh
ments.'
For the convention day automobiles
will be reGuisitioncd to see that the
band will parade the streets and the
business places will be gaily decor
ated. But the plans will go further
and after the convention those who
desire will be taken to Lahontan to
view the governments dam now under
construction: another trip will be
made to the beet sugar mill and 4
third to the Truckee- Carson reclama-
ton site that the visitor may gain
knowledge at first hand OF Uncle
Sans 100000 farm.
Special rates to the convention have
been arranged for by the Democratic
Central Committee. amounting to one
fare and a third for the round trip.
This rate is dependent upon fifty or
more taking advantage of it. The
plan 10 follow is to secure a receipt
from the home agent when leaving
for Fallon, after buying the ticket one
way and paying full fare. On pre-
,cnting this receipt at Fallon the re-
turn trip may be bought for one-third
the usual fare. provided the receipt
has been countersigncd by the secre,
tary Of the convention. This rate
will be given at all branch lines and
the State Committee urges all to take
advantage of it in order that the
requisite number may appear.
