million dollars or over four times
the amount Of the entire revenue OF
Kentucky, or, is several million dol
lars more than is spent by Kentuck-
ians to maintain all the government
of the counties. all the churches ex-
pend, and all the money that is spent
for public and private schools. Ken
lucky appropriates $4,000 to main
tain the department of health. or in
other words, Kentucky spends one
dollar in the effort to save s94O
which are lost by diseases which are
practically preventable.
Meningitis.
There were Gle deaths from all
forms of meningitis. except tubercu-
lar meningitis. OF these 1926
were males; 26s females; and 81

Vital Statistics Becoming Popular.
During the first year of its opera
ton the bureau was considerably
handicapped by the disapproval of
a 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 a limited few, how
ever. was conclusively shown by the
attitude of the 1912 Legislature
which reflected the expressed wishes
of their constituents by declaring
the Vital Statistics Law of Ken
lucky to be a valuable one, and not
only voted that it remain on the
statute books but strengthened it
by the passage of much needed
Numerous requests in gradually
numbers are received at
the main Office for information as to
dates of births and deaths in order
to prove accurately someone's claim
to an insurance or pension fund or
to an inheritance. Several appli-
cations have been made by foreign
consuls for death certificates Of for
mer citizens of those countries, that
under their laws are absolutely nee
essary before any settlement of an
estate can be made.
Lawyers from all over Kentucky
are finding the certified copies of
the death records to be the easiest
may to settle insurance and pension
claims and, of course, as these rec
ords 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 hundred
fold.

Next Sunday, December Z, has
been set forth as tuberculosis Day
in Kentucky, and a proclamation to
that effect has been issued by act
ing Governor McDermott. II is
hoped that on this day preachers
throughout the State will take as
their text this disease, which de-
stroys one person out of every six
dying in kentucky, and that the
people may give earnest thought to
the matter of prevention and cure,
both of which are entirely possible.
The matter of saving lives is as inn
portant as that of saving souls, and
this day should rebound to the res
cue OF both.

The lack Of interest in agricultur-
al pursuits and the consequent de-
terioration of soil fertility has been
the cause of the downfall of nations
and their people in the past. The
same causes will produce the same
effects now as they did centuries
ago The progressive, aggressive
farmer is the very life of any coun-
~ or country. On him rests the
rise or fall of present or future gen.

whether his county shall recede,

cultural business is the very life of

1,452 over the preceding year.
Based upon each 100000 population
the rate for 1911 was 1852; and
for 1912 the rate was 26.7S.
Deaths.
Exclusive of stillbirths, which are
never counted in the figures given
out by this bureau either in births
or deaths, there were 1886 deaths
in this State in 1912. OF these D.
1872 were of infants under one year
of age; 2,344 were of children aged
one TO four years; and 1916 were
of persons aged sixty-five years and
over. This gives a death rate of
1873 per thousand people. There is
a decrease in all of the rates of pre-
ventable diseases except diphtheria,
pneumonia, meningitis, influenza,
diarrhoea and enteritis q years and
over); a decrease of 529 in the num-
Der of deaths reported from tuber-
culosis: a decrease of 297 in the
number of deaths from typhoid
fever.
PelIagra.
There were ia deaths reported
from the State from pellagra, of
which 81 were white and II color
ed. The counties of Christian, Fay
cite 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.
HOOkwOrni.
There were 10 deaths reported
from hookworm disease in Ken
lucky in 1912 while none were re-
ported 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 disease is dissem-
mated among the physicians of the
State.
tuberculosis.
There were Alb deaths from tu-
berculosis TALL forms) in the State
in 1912. That is, tuberculosis was
responsible for 1873 per cent. of all
the deaths reported, or in other
words, about one funeral out of ev-
cry six deaths was due to this dis
ease. The decrease in the number
of deaths from this disease since
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 exceed the 1912 rate.
IL is estimated that there are 49,
asa persons in Kentucky who are
suffering with this disease in the
active stage, most of whom have
not the remotest idea of its dan
gerous nature and do not exercise
the simplest methods to protect
members of their own families or
the community in which they live.
As long as this kind of ignorance
prevails il cannot be hoped that the
death rate from this scourge will be
materially reduced.
Preyentable Diseases.
OF the 1885 deaths reported il
is a significant fact that 1854 were
caused by preyentable diseases or.
in other words, of every one hun
dred funerals that We're held in the
State during the year. S95 were
caused by diseases that are practi-
cally preyentable. Omitting the phys
ical and mental suffering of those
afflicted II is computed by careful
estimates that the loss TO Kentucky

THE Hartford Herald has
succeeded in getting itself rec
commended as a good paper for
Socialists to read"
But will the Republican say how
and why? One of the leading So
cialists of Ohio county, writing in

cause of The Herald's "squareness
and fairness towards Socialists and
Socialism" Anything wrong or to
be ashamed of about that? Can the
