CAUSE OF LOWEST DEATH RATE.
Why has Kansas the lowest death
rate in the United States? This ques-
tion was asked by doubling federal Of
ficials after they had Investigated the
report of W. J. v. Deacon, state regis
trar of vital statistics, showing that
the Kansas death rate was only %
per 1000. The answer Of Mr.. Deacon
as given to Samuel L. Rogers, direc-
tors of the United States bureau Of
census, gave this reason among 9th
ers:
kansas 10 . prohibition state and
has been for generation, and In Kan
sas, prohibition really prohibits. do
not mean by this there il no alcohol
consumed In the state. but the Ab-
sence Of the saloon means much to
our growing boys and young men,
who. in the absence Of any bar room,
nnd more healthful pastimes than loaf
ing in an alcohol laden atmosphere.
Another and more important fact
concerning prohibition IL that the
wage Of the laborer or mechanic il not
dissipated. but goes to supply those
necessities Of food. clothing and hous-
ing most essential to the wellbeing of
their families and themselves"

tion Of upwards Of 800, 1000, prohibit
ton would be. destructive; that It
would bring ON economic disaster.
