Legislature which reflected the ex-
pressed wishes of their constituents by
declaring the Vital Statistics Law of
Kentucky to be a valuable one, and

the passage of much needed amend

office for informa' lion as to the dates
OF births and deS this in order to prove

been made hy foreign consuls for death
certificates of former citizens of those

Lawyers from all over Kentucky are
finding the certified copies of the death

insurance and pension claims and, of
course, as these records increase in age
and number and witnesses of such
events have moved away or died, re-
quests for certified copies of birth and

That is, tuberculosis was responsible
for I5.9 per cent of all the deaths re-
ported, or in other words, about one
funeral out of every six deaths was
due to this disease. The decrease in
the number of deaths from this disease
since the report for 1911 is too marked
for one to say that it is the result of
efforts to control the disease. Such
results in health work are too sudden
and reports of eight months for 1913
indicate that the total number will eX-
ceed the 1912 rate.
1t is estimated that there are 10, ,494
persons in Kentucky who are suffering
with this disease, in the active stage,
most of whom have not the remotest
idea of its dangerous nature and do not
exercise the simplest methods to pro-
tect members of their own families or
the community in which they live. AS
long as this kind of ignorance prevails
it cannot be hoped that the death rate
from this scourge will be materially
reduced.
PREVENTABLE DISEASES.
Of the %, 955 deaths reported it is
significant fact that IL, 841 were caused
by preventable diseases or, in other
words, of every one hundred funerals
that were held in the state during the
year, 39.5 were caused by diseases that
are practically preventable. Omitting
the physical and mental suffering of
those afflicted it is computed by care
full estimates that the loss to Kentucky
each year from this source is approx
mately twenty-eight and a half million
dollars or over four times the amount
of the entire revenue of Kentucky, or,
spent by Kentuckians to maintain all
the government of the counties, all the
churches eXpend, and all the money
that is spent for public and private
schools. Kentucky appropriates $50,
900 to maintain the department of
health, or in other words, Kentucky
spends one dollar in the effort to save
$940 which are lost by diseases which
are practically preventable.
MENINGITIS.
There were GIG deaths from all forms
of meningitis, except tubercular men,
ingitis. OF these 326 were males; 269
females; and q not given. 500 were
white; "a colored and % not given.
An epidemic of considerable import of
cerebro-spinal meningitis occurred in
Jefferson County in the early months
of 1912.
VITAL STATISTICS BECOMING
POPULAR.
During the first year of its operation
the bureau was considerably handicap

people to whom the law and its pur-

could not recognize the value of the

BUREAU OF VITAL STATISTICS.

The birth and death returns for
Kentucky for the year 1912 are much
more satisfactory in number and quani-
ty than 1911, the first year of the
operation of this law. The causes of
death are more accul ataly stated and
the personal and statistical particulars
are given in greater detail; for this
reason the certificates of both births
and deaths have a greater value as a
family record and enable the State
Board of Health to locate more ac-
curately epidemics of dangerous, CON-
municable diseases and furnish a bet
ter index for the health policy of the
Board.

HOOKWORM.

There were 10 deaths reported from
hookworm disease in Kentucky in 1912
while none were reported in 1911. This
is due most likely to the fact that this
disease has been recognized only a
short while by our physicians and it is
quite likely that the number of deaths
from this disease is very much larger
than is given here and will be reported
as such, as the knowledge of this dis
ease is disseminated among the physi-
clans of the state.
TUBERCULOSIS.
There were 4,773 deaths from tuber-
culosis (all forms) in the state in 1912.

DEATHS.

Exclusive of stiIlbirths, which are
never counted in the figures given out
by this bureau either in births or
deaths, there were 1856 deaths in
this State in 1912. OF these 5.162
were of infants under one year of age;
2.344 were of children aged one to four
wears; and 1876 were of persons aged
sixty-five years and over. This gives a
death rate of 1873 per thousand people.
There is decrease in all of the rates
of preventable diseases except diph-
liberia, pneumonia, meningitis, in
fiuenza, diarrhoea and enteritis e
years and over); decrease of 529 in
the number of deaths reported from
tuberculosis: decrease of 297 in the

 The Fighting on July 2.
 During the height of the contest on the 1st General W. s. Hancock had reached the front with full power to centration of the force upon Cemetery ridge. Since Lee was determined to fight, Hancock's decision committed Meade to battle on that ground.
 The heights upon which the Army of the Potomac was arrayed consist of well defined ridge extending from the prominent elevation close to Get southward a mile and half to the still higher elevations of Big Round Top and Little Round Top. Near Lit tie Round Top a rocky height known as Devils Den juts out to the west. East of Cemetery hill, at the northern termination of the ridge, is the heayi- ly wooded Culp's hill,
 The two armies were about mile apart when the day opened. Lees formation was concave, HilPs and Longstreet's corps on Seminary ridge, which runs parallel to Cemetery ridge, and Ewells in front of Cemetery hill and Culp's hill.

gap. When half way to the base of the ridge canister began to make fearful chasms in their ranks. A battery sta toned on Little Round Top reached its lines lengthwise. The infantry of Hancock's line had been commanded to reserve its rife fire until the Confederates were close enough to make it deadly effective. Pettigrew's men on the extreme left of the charg- ing column first met this terrible fire and began to waver. They had been severely shaken by the artillery shells in the first few hundred yards of their march, and the bolts hurled at close quarters sent them back in masses.
 When the right flank of Pickett's column became exposed by change of direction Stannard's Vermont brigade rushed into the gap between Pickett and Wilcox and poured in an oblique fire. This fire caused Kemper's Confed- crate brigade to crowd toward the cen ter of the column. Being pressed in front by musketry fire at close range, many of Kemper's men surrendered. others retreated, and still others con- tinued to crowd together. However. the brigades of General l.. A. Armistead and General R. B. Garnett pressed on up the ridge in spite of the death deal- ing bolts hurled at them on all sides from Hancock's line
 Armistead. leading the van, leaped stone wall. waved his sword with his hat on 1t and shouted to the hundred men who were at his heels, Haunting their battlefags, "Give them the cold steel, boys" He laid his hand upon a gun in Gibbons line. Confederate flag was waved triumPhantly here for a few minutes.
 That flag marked the high tide of the Confectionery. Armistead was shot down beside the gun he had taken. This was the continuation of the charge. Garnett was also killed.
 Pickett ordered a retreat Pettigrew's division is said to have lost 2,O00 men and fifteen battlefags On Pickett's right the division of Wilcox could gain no foothold. Stannard's brigade. after successful attack on Kemper's and Pettigrew'S columns. turned upon VII. COX, forcing him to retreat also.

day. The troops were fresh except for hard march. The division num- bered about 5000 men. General Heth's division of General Hills corps. which had borne the brunt of the fighting on the 1st of July and had been severely handled, was chosen to support Pick ett's column on its left flank
 The position to be attacked was un- der the command of General W. S. Hancock. It was occupied by the First corps, commanded by General John Newton; the Second COTS, command ed by General John Gibbon; the Third corps, commanded by General D. B. Birney, and the Eleventh corps, com manded by General o. O. Howard.
 Supposing that the Federal batteries had been silenced because they stopped firing for the moment, Pickett's column moved forward. Before Pickett start ed the division of General Wilcox of Hill's corps took position on the right of the charging line.
 Pickett's men traversed distance of about mile and a half, counting from the woods where they started to the crest of the ridge which they desired to attain and almost reached. As soon as they came in sight over a slight ridge on the west side of the plain the Federal shells began to cut them down Double canisters were reserved for their closer approach.

to prolong the line as far south as Round Top with the Third corps.
 Simultaneous Attacks Ordered.
 Lee directed his right and left wing commanders to assail the right and left Hanks of Meade's army at the same time and Hill, commander in the center, to make constant threats against the Federal center to prevent either flank from being re-enforced.
 Longstreet attacked the left flank. held by Sickles, at 4 D. m. with pre- Jude of artillery fire against an angle formed by Sickles' line at the peach orchard on the Emmitsburg road. The battle ragged over fields and among trees, rocks and ravines until dark.
 Ewell, on Lees left, did not attack Meade's right at Cemetery hill until Longstreet's assault on the left at Round Top had been repulsed. John sons division captured a stretch of Federal breastworks just at dark. Ear. ly's division, having Gordon's brigade in reserve, stormed Cemetery hill with spirit, but was repulsed in hand to 0dnQ COulllCL dSdluSl 1IldulIy duo OdI- teries of the Eleventh corps.
 Although the heavy attacks on the Hanks of the Federal army had been repulsed on July 2, the Confederate commander prepared to continue his aggressive tactics next day. He decid- ed to re-enforce Johnson's division, which had gained and held a lodg- ment in rear of the Federal right on Culp's hill, and throw a strong col umn of fresh troops against the en- emy's center.
 General Pickett's Charge.
 Lee having decided to put 15,000 men In column of assault, General Long street was ordered to prepare for the grand attack. Pointing to Cemetery ridge, Lee Is said to have declared. "The enemy is there, and am going to strike him." Longstreet responded. 'It is my opinion that no 15,00O ever arrayed for battle can take that po- aition.''
 General George E. Pickett's division of Longstreet's corps had only arrived during the afternoon of the previous

 ger from Ewell, and General A. von Steinwehr's division climbed to the crest of Cemetery hill, forming the first solid line upon the heights which constituted the main Federal defense during the hard fighting at Gettys- burg
 At 4:30 the troops of Barlow and Schurz had been worsted by Ewell and were retreating to join their comrades on Cemetery hill, and Early's Confederates were in the streets of the town at it's base. This southward advance brought the enemy in the Fear of the First corps line westward on Seminary ridge In fact, the right of this line was carried away by the advance of Ewelps men.
 On seeing, about D. m., that the Eleventh corps line was being swept away, Doubleday gave the order to re- treat With difficulty he got his regi- ments and batteries upon Cemetery hill before Hwel was in possession of the streets leading up the ridge.
 The Confederate commander, Gener- al R. E. Lee, reached the front in the
