Board Of Health, on Iowa
Deaths i Given
WERE 1,571 ALL TOLD
Organic Diseases Of the Heart Was
the Cause Of Mbst hs-Rate
Greatest Between 70
and 90 Years.
WERE 1,571 ALL TOLD

More deaths were caused IN Iowa
in June from organic diseases OF the
heart than from any one trouble, &C
cording to the report Just made by
iDr. c. H. Sumner, secretary OF the
state board OF health. There were 1S6
deaths from this cause. Cancer and
malignant tumors caused 135 deaths
and Bright's disease and acute nephri-
tits caused 1877 deaths. Apoplexy
caused ia deaths. Tuberculosis OF
the lungs caused eighty-nine deaths
and tuberculosis meningitis four
deaths.
The total number Of deaths for the
month was 1871. The time OF lie
when most deaths occurred, accord
ing to this report. was between 70
and 80 years, when 20 persons died.
Infants under one year old show the
next greatest mortality, 205 having
died in this state during June. The
least number OF deaths occurred from
the ages OF from Ave to ten years,
when 22-deaths were recorded. Thirty
four people past 90 years OF age died
in this state during June.
June this year was bad month Tor
drownings, as ~ deaths were reported
from accidental drownings. An un-
usual amount or high water and bad
washouts are responsible for this.
There were 81 sufeides during the
month and there were 26 deaths
caused by railroad accidents. Eighteen
were killed In automobile accidents,
I've were killed by lightning. and there
were three homicides.
More men died than women. there
being 877 males and 694 females.
There were 679 deaths among mar
.ried persons and 500 among single
persons.
Accidental deaths seem to be on
the increase from year to year, due
to the use Of machinery in various
ways apparently. During every sum-
mer month there are always fatal nc
.cidents, many Of them resulting from
the use of the automobile Accidents
are more prevalent during the sum
mer than in winter.
