The girls were thrown out and Mrs.

TopekaS death rate in 1914 was
higher than that of other large towns
in Kansas according to figures today
by w. j. V. Deacon. registrar in the
state board of health, who issued a
statement taking a severe fall out of
the local mOrtuary figures. Wh1le
Topeka, with her numerous hospitals,
attained a record death rate, the birth
rate in the capital city was exceeded
by but two Kansas uovvns-Independ-
ence and Kansas City, Kan.
Exempting the nonresident deaths,
Topeka's record against the general
record of all first class cities in the
state, gives her the best showing. In
Guiding deaths of 1919 nonresidents,
Topeka's death record for 1914 was
1858 for each 1000 population. Elk
empting the nonresidents, the rate is
reduced to 1915. This showing would
put Topeka .32 per cent below the
record of any other first class city in

percentages is made by Registrar
Deacon on 1914 census returns, giving
Topeka a population of 40, $40.
The 1914 record in Topeka shows
S24 deaths. including 1919 deaths of
residents in local hospitals This
record is for the city at large and the
big hospitals. including Topeka asylum
with its 900 patients. While none
of these patients are credited to the
census showing, all deaths are charged
to the city's mortuary account.
When the city recently made its re-
port, it showed a death rate of 1913 for
each 1000 inhabitants, exclusive of
hospital returns. The board of health
returns, however, show a rate of 12.75

of all classificatiOns.
Analyze State Returns.
Analysed the state returns show that
1897 per cent of all deaths of residents
and non-residents in Topeka were
negroes. In addition to this is the fact
that most of the hospital deaths were
whites. The negro population in TO-
peka is 10.5 per cent of the total or

died.
Topekas death record in part shows
