The death rate In Wisconsin for the
past three months is slightly higher
than 1t has been for six preceding
years, according to the quarterly NOR.
tally statement issued by the state
board Of health. During the months
of January, February and March, 1914.
1928 deaths were reported by the va
rious local registrars throughout the
state. This corresponds to an annual
death rate Of 1886 per thousand estf
mated population. Comparing this rate
with the rate Of 1898 per thousand for
1908, a rate Of IL. per thousand for
1909, a rate Of 1872 per thousand for
1910, rate Of 1877 per thousand for
1911, rate of 1877 per thousand for
1912 and a rate Of 1927 per thousand
for 1913 shows an increase In the rate
over previous years.
Considering the deaths reported by
age groups there Is decrease of 3
in the number of deaths among chill
dren under one year of age, an in
crease Of II in the age group from one
to four years and a decrease of 173
in the age group Of IS years and over
as compared with the morality by age
groups for 1913.
The more important causes of death
with the number of deaths from each
disease is as follows: Pulmonary tn.
berculosis, 543; other tuberculosis, 81;
typhoid fever, "a; diphtheria, 81; scar
let fever, So; measles, So; whoopina
cough, 20; pneumonia, 1,190; menin.
gifts, 90; influenza, 80; puerperal Sc
pticemia, &c; cancer, 476; and VIC
lence, 342. Comparing the number OF
deaths from certain di 0ases for the
months Of January, February and
March, this year, with similar repor'
for 1913, there Is a decrease In the
number of deaths reported as follows
Other forms of tuberculosis, "a; ty.
phoid fever, "a; whooping cough, 80;
meningitis, %; influenza, 125 and puer
peral septicemia, 2. 1t should be not
ed in this connection that there is
marked decline in the number OF
deaths reported from practically all OF
the dangerous, communicable diseases
with the exception of diphtheria
There is an increase in the number OF
deaths from the following diseases:
Pulmonary tuberculosis, 10; diphthe
ria, 20; measles, z; pneumonia, 70;
cancer, 40 and violence, FL.
The state health officer says that
this increase sis not due to the preva,
lence of any Of the so-called preventa
BILE diseases but results from chronic
or deep-seated constitutional ailments
which are attributed in large meas.
ure to improper living"
Considering the number of deaths
from violence the report shows that IS
resulted from suicide; Sc from acci.
dental fractures; 43 from accidental
burns and scalds; 35 from railroad &C
cidents; Is from accidental drowning;
IS from accidental suffocation IL from
accidental gunshot wounds; IL from
homicides; from street cars and 8
from accidental freezing
There are two deaths from infantile
paralysis, five from tetanus.

STATE MEETING
OF OSTEOPATHS
Preparations Have Been Com
pIeted for Convention.
SESSIONS FOR TWO DAYS
gathering VIII Open on May 20 and
Close on the 21st-Several lmPor-
tant Subjects Are to Be
Discussed.

Madison-Preparati have been
completed for the annual meeting of
the Wisconsin State Osteopathic as
ISOLATION to be held in Fond du Lac
May 20 and 81. Many important sub
jects will be discussed.
Prominent among the topics for dis
cussion at the forthcoming meeting
will be the question Of amending the
present state laws in order to better
regulate the practitioners Of mechani-
cal therapeutics. Under the present
laws, it is said, many quacks and IA
kers with short courses or correspon-
dence courses In manipulatiye therapy
have f1ocked into the state and are
practising without licenses from the
state medical board and with no regu-
lation.
It is the purpose of the Wisconsin
State Osteopathic society to work in
harmony with the state medical So
ciety in getting specific laws govern
ing all practitioners.
At the forthcoming meeting the
question of having an osteopathic rep
resentative on the state medical board,
one who practises osteopathy exclus-
lively, will be determined.
The feature of the program at the
two days meeting will be presented
by DR.. F. A. Turfer of Rensselaer,,
Ind, one of the foremost diaSnosti-
clans Of the profession.

State Wool Gains Fans.

Knitted products from Wisconsin
wool rapidly are helping to make the
Badger state famous.
A single factory located in Delevan
within the last decade has sent knitted
goods to practically every state of our
own country, and to many across the
oceans. 1t has come to be one of the
best equipped plants in the middle
west
Wisconsin owes much OF its success
in breeding and raising fine wool to
George McKerrow, who has been at
the head OF the Wisconsin Farmers In
stitute for a score of years, and has
accomplished much for the soil tillers
of the state, as well as for the wool
bearing herds.
The McKerrow exhibit at the St.
Louis Worlds Fair won a large num-
Der of valuable prizes, and the awards
at various state fairs won by the Pc
waukee sheep were OF the highest
class.
At the International Livestock show
Wisconsin herds have always ranked
high, the classes in an unusually large
number of types being full. Mr. Nc
Kerrow has bene an extensive i'm
porter and has visited some Of the
most noted sheep raising countries Of
the old world.

Call for Republican Convention.

SdAi FOF SOhNChhaShs
The call for a Republican state con-
vention is in circulation. 1t probably
will be held in Milwaukee in June, if
the necessary number of signatures
are obtained, and E. L. Philip be-
lieves that several thousand names
can be secured without difficulty.
The papers have been sent into
every county. Only Republican voters
will be asked to sign, said Mr.. Philip
When the papers have been returned
a committee will be appointed to de-
termine upon the details for the con-
vention.
I Republicans of Sank county held a
convention, adopting a platform de-
handing reforms and greater economy
in the state government, and request
ed Mr.. Philip to become the Repub-
lican candidate for governor of Wis
cOnsin.
A C. Clark Of Reedsburg was elect
ed chairman Of the convention, and
B. N. Robinson of Baraboo, secretary.
The feeling was that a change should
be made In the management of the
states affairs by a return to truly
representative government.

Historical Society Library Open.

tbcNSh'NS' SSSA~$y 1879 ORNt's
Wosconsin's splendid library-the
home of the State Historical society
and Of the University library-is com
plete with the new northwest wing
thrown open for service.
The new wing, work on which was
begun in 1911, and for which the leg.
islature of 1911 appropriated the sum
of $4,000 annually for three years, has
been given over to storage Of the uni
versity library. And it is safe to say
that no American library, and perhaps
in no library in the world, is space
better economical, or are there bet.
ter arrangements. In this wing, the
outside dimensions of which are 65 by
so feet, 25O,OOO books are accommo-
dated, or will be when the cases are
full. The total number of bound vol
umes in the entire library now ex.
ceeds 100000.
There are four main floors includ.
ing the attic but excluding the base
ment. In the larger part of the wing
there are six stacks" or book floors.
The extra fors are supplied by mez
canine floors of marble half way be
tween the regular floors which cor
respond to the fiors of the main build,
ing.
The exterior OF the northwest wing
is of the same type of classical archf
lecture as the library proper, the ma
terial being white Bedford stone.
The interior arrangement of the
northwest wing is different, however,
from that of the southwest wing,
which was built at the same time as
the main part of the building, during
the years from 1895 to 1900 One OF
the principal differences is the great
er utility of space on the six book
floors.
In the southwest wing, for example,
there are ten cases in each of the
two rows of cases on each floor. But
in the new wing there are IL cases
in each row, and yet there is space
esnough between the cases for two
persons to pass each other or to
stand without crowding at any point
between the cases.
This addition of two cases to each
row, or four to each of the six floors
adds as much as twenty per cent to
the book capacity of the new wing
over that of the old wing.
