Of these were due to tuberculosis; how
many living cases Of tuberculosis they
now have in their parishes, and how
many communicates or parishioners.
There were 36,79s deaths from all
causes reported, showing a death rate
of 229.4 per 10000 population, which
is considerably higher than the cor
responding rate for the entire country.
1857 in 1912. This high death rate is
probably due to the fact that pastors
of churches ofieiate at many funerals
of others than members or eommuni-
eants, while their membership reports
are taken from actual records.
As Indicating the extent of the tuber-
culosis problem in the average church
the figures show that 1913 per cent. of
all the funerals reported were caused
by tuberculosis, and that, in addition
TO the 1874 deaths from this disease,
the ministers had 4,254 living cases
now under their pastoral supervision.
n one year, therefore, the 2,S52 churches
were caring for s,O4s eases of tubereu-
losis, or an average of nearly three for
each congregation. The average size of
the congregations was So, which would
Indicate that there is a case of tubereu-
losis developing each year for every
twenty church members.
Because tuberculosis demands so
much time and money from the churches,
The National Association for the Study
and Prevention of Tuberculosis is call
ing upon all of them throughout the
United States to join in an educational
against this disease on Tuber-
eulOsis Day, which will be observed dur
ing the week OF November Goth.

Basing the estimates upon the
figures given out by State Auditor
Anderson the state levy of one mill
will not meet the amount of ap
preparations for 1914 and will
leave a deficiency OF $413, ,648.73,
which will lave to be made up by
a larger levy for next year. The
tax commission answers this state
ment by givining another which is
as follows:

There are few things that look
a little peculiar in this staten ent
of the tax commission. They
count as resources $27O,37O paid

count as another resource 1886,
