The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1913-12-03

each year from this scourge is
approximately twenty-eight and
half million dollars or over four
times the amount of the entire
revenue of Kentucky, or, is sew
eral million dollars more than is
spent by Kentuckians to main
tain all the government Of the
counties, all the churches expend,
and all the money that is spent
for public and private schools.
Kentucky appropriates 100000 to
maintain the department of
health, or in other words, Ken
lucky spends one dollar in the
effort to save $o4o which are lost
by diseases which are practically
preventable.
There were GRO deaths from
all forms of meningitis, except
tubercular meningitis. OF these
geo were males; 26o females and
FL not given. 500 were white; 81
colored; 20 not given. An cpl
demic of con siderable import OF
cerebro-spinal meningitis occur
red in Jefferson county in the
early months of 1912.
During the first year of its OPP
Grafton the bureau was consider
ably handicapped by the disap-
proval of number of people to
whom the law and its purposes
were new and who did not or
could not recognize the value of
the records of births and deaths
of people. That this number
comprised only limited few,
however, was conclusively shown
by the attitude of the 1912 Leg
islature which reflected the ex-
pressed wishes of their constit-
uents by declaring the Vital
Statistics Law of Kentucky to be
a valuable one, and not only vot-
ed that it remain on the statute
books but strengthened it by the
passage of much needed amend
ments.
Numerous requests in grad
ually increasing numbers are
received at this office for
information as to the dates
of births and deaths in
order to prove accurately some
ones claim to an insurance or
pension fund or to an inheritance.
Several applications have been
made by foreign consuls for
death certificates of former citi-
Zens OF those countries, that I'M
der their laws are absolutely nee
essary before any settlement of
an estate can be made.
Lawyers from all over Ken
lucky are finding the certified
copies of the death records to be
the easiest way to settle insur-
ance and pension claims and, of
course, as these records increase
in age and number and witnesses
of such events have moved away
or died, requests for certified
copies of birth and death records
will be multiplied a hundred fold.

Kentueky,s Vital Statistics

Kentucky for the year 1912 are
much more satisfactory in num-
Der and quality than 1911, the
first year Of the operation of this
law. The causes of death are
more accurately stated and the
personal and statistical particu-
lars are given in greater detail
for this reason the certificates OF
both births and deaths have a
greater value as family record
and enable the State Board of
Health to locate more accurately
epidemics of dangerous, commun-
icable diseases and furnish bet
ter index for the health policy of
the Board.
= The total number of births re-
ported in 1911 in Kentucky was
6o,732. The total number report
ed for 1912 was o2,I84; an in
crease of I,452 over the preced-
ing year. Based upon each Ioo,-
900 population the rate for 1911
was 26.32; and for 1912 the rate
was 26.78.
Exclusive of stillbirths, which
are never counted in the figures
given out by this bureau either
in births or deaths, there were
2o,o55 deaths in this state in 1912.
Of these 5,I62 were of infants
under one year of age; 1874 were
of children aged one to four
years; and 1876 were of persons
aged sixty-fve years and over.
This gives a death rate of I2.o
per thousand people. There is
decrease in all of the rates of pre-
ventable diseases except diph-
liberia, pneumonia, meningitis, in
fuenza, diarrhoea and interitis
e years and over) +; a decrease of
500 in the number of deaths re-
ported from tuberculosis; a de-
crease of 2o7 in the number of
deaths from typhoid fever.
There were ia deaths report
ed from the state from pellagra.
of which 81 were white and II
colored. The counties of Chris
tan, Fayette, and Jefferson show
the largest number of deaths
from this disease because the
state hospitals for the insane,
where a large number of these
cases are confined. are located
there.
There were 70 deaths reported
from hookworm disease in Ken
lucky in 1912 while none were
reported in 1911. This is due
most likely to the fact that this
disease has been recognized only
short while by our physicians
and it is quite likely that the
number of deaths from this di-
sease is very much larger than
is given here and will be report
ed as such, as the knowledge o.
this disease is disseminated
among the physicians of the
state.
There were 4,773 deaths from
tuberculosis Gall forms) in the
state in 1912. That is, tubercu-
losis was responsible for $50 per
cent. of all the deaths reported
or in other words, about one fun
eral 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 con-
troll the disease. Such results in
health work are too sudden and
reports of eight months for 1918
indicate that the total number
will exceed the 1912 rate.
1t is estimated that there are
Io,4o4 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 ex-
ercise the simplest methods to
protect members of their own

He said he did not touch pastry OF

He Would Invite Larger South
ern Republics to Join With
Us in Upholding Monroe
Doctrine.
Place Them on Equality With
United States---Denies Doc
trine is Outworn, Declaring
That it Still Acts as Lever
for Peace.

NEW YORK, Dec. ll.-Ex-Presi~
dent Taft, defending the Monroe doc
trine before the Peace society, in
Aeolian hall tonight. advocated q new
in-American policy for this coun-
try.
He proposed that the United States
invite the A. b. c. powers of South
America, Brazil. the Argentine Re-
public and Chile, to assist US in up
holding the Monroe doctrine, thereby
placing the great South American
nations on an equality with the United
States in our American policy, reliev-
ing US from part Of the burden, giving
assurance of our disinterestedness, and
adding weight to the declaration of
the policy.
Must He Upheld.
Mr. Taft denied that the Monroe
doctrine was an obsolete shibholeth,
and q. mere irritant to Latin-Ameri-
can states He held that 1t continues
TO be lever for peace, and that it is
our duty to stand by the doctrine even
II Latin-American peoples nisunder-
stand our attitude.
The Mexican situation looks pretty
bad to the ex-president but he be-
lieves that the Monroe doctrine has
had n heneficent effect on European
powers in inducing them TO follow
this Countrys lead. despite pFoNoca-
tons in Mexico. Mr. Taft calls on
American citizens to uphold the policy
of President Wilson, whatever that
may be.
Mr.. Taft was introduced TO his au-
dience by Oscar 8. Straus- His ad-
dress was heard with the utmost at
tention, and he was appiauded fire.
quentIy and Enthusiastically. paTciru-
larry when he made generous refer
ences to President Roosevelt's wise ap-
plication of the Monroe doctrine IN
the cause of peace.
Rests on Force.
He discussed briefly the causes for
the adoption. of the sisnroe doctrine
and he pointed out where II had been
used effectively to curb the ambitions
Of European powers.
Mr. Taft admitted that the Monroe
doctrine rests on force. hut he said
that we had been able to uphold 1t for
one hundred years without firing a
shot, and that even IL resistance by n
European government required us to
fight. that would certainly not be a
reason for peace advocates to insist on
sacrificing the doctrine. since II had
been an instrument for peace for one
hundred years.

WASHINGTON. Dec 1.-THE
measures taken by Admiral Fletcher
for the protection of Americans and
other foreigners at Tampico, where.
at last reports received here. fighting
was still going on between Mexican
federals and revolutionists. are re-

the danger OF complications at that
point.
SO effective are Admiral Fletcher
arrangements considered tina. II was

situation which calls fer any fresh

There is a belief here that the
sides that they must not fight in the
vicinity Of the refuge zone he has es-

federal and rebel leaders. The guns
