WONDERFUL SAVING OF LIFE
Modern Sanitary Measure Have Cut
the Death Rate Of Chicago Almost
In Half, Statistics Show.

Modern sanitary measures and pre-
ventive medicine (Which means nc
medicine at alI are chiefly RESPONSE
BILE for nearly doubling the average
length of human life in Chicago, and
that within only one generation.
This statement is clearly borne out
by statistics published by the Chicago
Health Department, and is only slight
ly less true of some other localities.
But the bald statement does not sum
GENTLY convey the whole truth. Look
at the figures: An average death
rate in Chicago during the whole for.
ty years previous to the last decade
of 21.s per thousand OF population.
During the past ten years the average
has been only 147. This means q
saving Of 124.421 lives, for the ten
years, or 12,442 per year. That is.
there were Just that many less deaths
from all causes than there would
have been under former measures and
methods.
Does not that make the work APP
pear worth while?
Nothing is palmer than that educs-
ton Of the people, combined with a
willingness on their part to do the
best they know how, in the various
ways of taking better care Of them
selves, is the main source Of this
splendid result. The greatest saving
Of life has been among those diseases
most affected by sanitary administra-
ton and control.
A still better story is to be told. If
the people will do as the Health De
partment teaches there will be still
greater saving during the next ten
years.

ever, she could not stay to weep o'el
long. She therefore dashed away hel
tears to say:
"Never mind, dearie-you shall
have another"
"But she won't be Pink to mel"
was the wailing reply.
"You can call her Rose or Violet,
then. You mustn't take on so. S'pose
your dear mother had climbed that
tree and got hung by the neck! Think
how awfuller it would have been!"
eyes, know, but Pink may have
called to me when she found herself
strangling"
"But she never did. Her first
thought was that she had made a
fool of herself getting up that tree.
It's another cat Wen have inside of
three days. Now be good and don't
cry any more"
81 wouldn't feel so bad if-if-"
"If what, dearie?''
eff 1t wasn't for the sign"
What sign?"
'Why, one day when I was at the
gate with the cat an old woman came
along and said II Pink died within a
year must take It as a sign that I'd
lose the love OF my lover. The year
isn't up yet"
Nonsense on the old woman and
her signs"
Don't you believe it?"
"Of course not You should have
made up faces at her"
"oh, but l did"
"That's proper and right. honey. Az
you have no lover how can you lose
his Lover"
"But I'm going to have, you know.
and don't want any signs TO come
poking along"
"Don't you fear Some signs are
sure to come true. but this one is go
ing to fail. If you bury Pink that
will surely make it fail. There's an
old suit case In the woodshed. Put the
body In that and take 1t away"
Forty rods down the highway was
grove of beeches. It was a quiet, rest
full spot. Now and then an auto went
honking by. but as a dead cat is not
too particular, Pink" would sleep
there without waking. With the spade
in one hand and the suit case in the
other, Miss Bah made her way to
the grove. She did not have to look
long for a spot Where the violets
bloomed and the green leaves cast
their shade she dug the grave, or she
had begun to when there came an in
terruption.
Gregg Fenlon was home from col
lege on his vacation. and was tearing
around the country In his racing ma
chine in way to set the bridges on
fire, AS the spade was turning up the
soil he came scorching along looking
for something to devour, and there
was a sudden stop as he caught sight
Of the girl She was only fifty feet

rooth.PuIIIna in Japan.

The Japanese dentists perform all
their operations in tooth-drawing with
the thumb and forefnger of one hand.
The skill necessary to do this is ac-
quired only after long practice, but
when once it is obtained the operator
is able to extract half-a-dozen teeth
in about half a minute without once
removing his fingers from the pa
tents mouth.

he could see that her mouth was puck

planned Miss Bah az the collegian ap-

"Just the incest cat in all this
world! Her name was Pink. She

asked as he took the spade from her
hands and began to dig.
"Just-just little Her name was

There was almost a smile on Miss
Miss Bab's face as she entered the
house. The cook had been peeking,
and she stood with her hands on her
hips and demanded:
"And now about that old woman's
sign?"
"Why-what?"
"That young mani"
'He just came along"
"And he dug the grave for poor

"And he was 80 kind and gentle

"And he lost a dog once"

"Why cook what have donef"
asked Miss Bah.
Done! Done! Why. you've gone

Miss Bah is counting, and It was
only the other day that she confessed
to the cook:
I'm not a hard-hearted girl, but
really I'm almost glad the cat died."

trainer Of the Nationals. Mike has made

three or four 'rah rah" boys looking on.
There will be hot times in camp when
Germany Schaefer arrives. for with
AIva Williams the big receiver, as run
ming mate, this pair should manage TO
keep the Hotel GTiflth In an uproar all
the time.
Cotton johnson. the letter writer Of
the camp. Is still rather anxious. as no
mail from home has appeared on the
horizon
Angel" as Joe Engel has been named.
Is stIn rather peeved on being called
the baby Of the camp. At that. Joe has
something on several OF the rockies, for
Joe is real card player; but not at
pInochIe.
The championship Of the camp in
pitch lies between Martin and Ainsmith
as a team and Becker and Morgan. A
series OF games will soon be played for
the title.
Pop Lanigan, the famous trainer Of
the University OF Virginia's star ath-
letes, is greatly smitten with the side
Cashion. Pop seldom goes wrong on
a prediction. and he says that Becker
and Cashion will have a great season.
Buck Becker has been rechristened.

Bob Groom is still the champion check

his latest victim. Griffith is slated to
stack up against him tomorrow morning.
Bill Cunningham Is the most quiet chap
In the hotel, setting In the corner most
of the time and writing ten-page letters
to the old folks at home. Bill Is one OF
our leading little letter writer's, but at
that he hasn't anything on Joe Engel

AIva Williams continues to show plenty
OF the dash and speed that made him so
popular In Boston, the big backstop keep

rookie twirlers, as he Is always kidding
