THE STORY OF THE AMERICAN FLAG
April Is. 1914

Nearly u hundred million people live
beneath that flag today as compared
with less than 100000 ninety-siX
! ears ago. and it waves over q combin-
ed area several times greater than that
represented Lv its 20 states i'll 1918. It's
westernmost recognition was then along
the Mississippi river. Today the IS
: tates sweep un5rokenly across the con
tinent. The flag has also been planted
over the Philippines, over numerous
strategic islands in the Pacific, over
the enormous area of Alaska and al
the new gateway of oceans at Panama
Several years ago it was carried around
the world by fleet OF American bat
tlcships. and just five years ago it was
planted at the North Pole by Com
mander Pearv.

tives at Washington. 1t had 20 stars

in New York by the wife of Captain
5. G. Reid, famous as commander of

Reid sent it by mail to Congressman
Wendover, who had been sponsor for
the new act by which the law of 1891.
providing a new stripe and new star
for each state, was changed to require
only q new star for each state. Thirteen
stripes were to be preserved to repre-
sent the original colonies.

! This does not mean that the diseases
which have caused increasing mortality
have been growing more virulent or
/ widespread Generally speaking, it
shows that more persons have escaped
the diseases of early life and have sue
IcWmbed to diseases more prevalent in
middle and old age. Medical and sani-
tary science has greatly checked the
diseases which produce the greatest in
FAINT mortality, while the diseases which
cause death in middle and old age arc
