Third OF DEATHS
DUE TO 8 CAUSES
Heart Disease, Pneumonia and
tuberculosis Take the
Most Victims.
CANCER GROWS more DEADLY
Death Fate From This Disease Has
Increased Almost Continuously
Since 1900, as in Case of
Diabetes.

Nearly one-third of the deaths in the
United States in 1915 were due to
three causes-heart diseases, tubercu-
losis and pneumonia. At least this
was the proportion maintained among
the 900;155 deaths reported for that
year in what is known as the ''registra-
ton area" which contains approx
mately 81 per cent Of the population
Of the United States. These figures
were compiled by Uncle Sam and CIV
en- out through the census bureau.
Nearly two-thirds of all the deaths
were charged to II causes-the three
just named, together with Bright's dis
ease and nephritis, cancer, apoplexy,
diarrhea and enteritis, arterial dis
eases, diabetes, influenza, diphtheria
and typhoid fever.
The deaths from heart diseases (or-
ganic diseases of the heart and endo-
carditis) in the registration area in
1915 numbered 1O5,2O0, or 1862 per
100000 population. The death rate
from this cause shows a marked in

was only 1881 per 100000.
Tuberculosis in its various forms
claimed 99,194 victims in 1915, of
whom 85,993 died from tuberculosis of
the lungs. In only a little more than
q decade, from 1904 to 1915, the death
rate from tuberculosis in all its forms
fell from 200.7 to 1863 per 100000, the
decline being continuous from year to
year. This is u drop of more than 25
per cent. Even yet, however, tuber-
culosis has the unanviable distinction
ot causing rore deaths annually thar
any otner form of bodily illness except
heart diseases, and about 46 per cent
more than all external causes-acci
dents, homicides and suicides-com
bined.
Pneumonia Less Deadly.
Pneumonia (including bronchopneu
monia) was responsible for 89,32t
deaths in the registration area in 1915
or 1927 per 100000. The death rate
from this disease, like that from tu
berculosis, has shown a marked de
cline since 1900, when it was 1905 PEI
100000.
The only remaining death rate high
er than 100 per 100000 in 1916 wa!
that for Bright's disease and acute ne
phritis, 104.7. The total number O.
deaths due to these maladies in 1911
was 70,500; of this number, 64,48'
were caused by Bright's desease ant
5000 by acute nephritis.
Next in order of deadliness com
cancer and other malignant tumors
which caused 54,5S4 deaths in 1915. o
these, 21,221, or nearly 39'per cent, re
suited from cancers of the stomacl
and liver. The death rate from can
Ger has risen from 63 per 100000 il
1900 to S1.1 in 1915. The increase ha
been almost continuous, there havin
been but two years, 1906 and 1911
which showed a decline as compare
with the years Immediately preceding
1t is possible that at least part Q
| this increase is due to more correc
diagnosis and greater care on the par
of physicians in making reports to res
istration officials.

CHAPTER XI.
The Mousetrap.

The Mousetrap.
Late in the afternoon of the same
day, Ember, appearing suddenly in
front of the bungalow, discovered
Whitaker sitting up in state; a COM
Portable wicker chair supported his
body and a canvas-seated camp stool
one of his feet; which last was dis
creetly yelled in dripping bath towel.
Otherwise he was fastidiously arrayed
in white flannels and, by his seraphic
smile and guileless expression, seemed
abnorInally at peace with his circum-
stances.
Halting, Ember surveyed the spec
tacle with mocking disfavor.
Hello !" he observed, beginning to
draw off his gantlets as he ascended
the. veranda steps and dropped into
another wicker chair. "What the
deuce's the matter with your"

"Hope so. Well, you must've had q

Whitaker protested.
"Oh, if you forgive me for leaving

"Just surprised-that's ALL" saiC
Ember, recovering. "You see, 1 didn'
think the Fiske place was open thii
year."
He stared suspiciously at Whitaker
but the latter was transparently in
genuOus.
"She expressed an unaecountablt
desire to see you-told me to tell you
"Oh? Such being the case, ont
would think she might've waited"
"She had lust started home wher

building the bare walls, floors, ceilings
and roof of the larger house.
There are any number of ways in
which a small house may be made
hOmelike. The most important pre-
caution to be observed in, the arrange
n ant of the rooms is that of providing
space for furniture already in the
possession of the owner, or about to
be purchased. This applies to the
larger pieces of furniture, such as the
piano or divan. Each room should be
given individual features which most
thoroughly fit it to furnish the desired
qualities. In the living room most
people like a fireplace, and buflt-in
bookcases furnish a very handy and
useful feature. The housewife will no
doubt appreciate buffet in the dining
room. A pantry is a great help in
the preparation Of meals. A clothes
chute saves steps and keeps soiled
linen out of the way. These and many
other features are easily provided and
the expense of their construction is
more than paid back in the -conve-
nience and comfort which they pro-
vide.
The bungalow shown in the illustra-
tion~is an excellent type of home for
the family that takes pride in max
ing the various rooms of the house in
which they live as cozy and attrac-
tive as possible. Of course, for such
a family the house must, in itself,
have the qualities of coziness and at
tractiveness, or no amount of labor will
seem to produce just the effect that is
desired The bungalow seems to be
the right type, and this particular de.
sign has many desirable features from
this standpoint.
The outside walls of the bungalow
are plastered in white or some light
shade of gray. Wood trim is finished
dark in contrast to the light walls. A
hip roof is used with small dormerS
having their sides finished with shin
| giles. Brick chimneys are used for the
| fireplace, furnace and kitchen stove
! The porch is very attractive and use
! full. 1t is built across the front of the
] house and extends on one end so tha
steps along the side of the house make
it accessible from the rear. The enc
of the porch near these steps is bull
in the pergola style. The general ex
terror design is simple but very at
tractive.
With very little effort the rooms O
,his bungalow may be made exception
ally cozy and hOmelike. The livin;
room and dining room are joined to

the wall opposite the three-windo1

DEPENDS ON TROPICS
United States Increasing Imports
Very Rapidly.
More Than Billion Dollars Worth Of
Foodstuffs and Raw Materials
Purchased in 1916.

Uncle Sam has compiled figures
showing the increased dependence OF
the United States upon the tropics
for certain foodstuffs and raw materi-
ais for manufactures.
More than a billion dollars worth
of tropical products were brought into
this country during the fiscal year
1915. The exact total was $1,060,-
850,416, according to official figures of
the bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce of the department of COM
merce, and this was decided increase
over the $S07, ,642, 1872 of 1915, the $685.
511, ,552 in 1905, and the $303, ,476, ,706
in 1895.
These large and rapidly increasing
purchases Of tropical products consist
mainly Of foodstuffs and raw materials
not produced in the United States and
of certain others grown in our insular
territories. Sugar heads the list, with
imports valued at $314,0OO,000 in the
fiscal year 1916. That sum represents
an increase of $57O00,O0o over 1915
and of $156,OO0,O00 over 1914. India
rubber, gutta percha, gutta joolatong
and other substitutes for rubber
showed imports in 1916 valued at
$159, 100000 as against $S6,000,000 in
the preceding year. Imports of raw
silk amounted in value to $124, ,000, 900,
so per cent increase over 1916; cof--
fee, $116000,000, an increase of about
per cent over 1915; f1bers other than
flax, $56,00O000, an increase of al
most so per cent; fruits and nuts, $780,
100000, very slight increase; raw
cotton, $40,O00,O00, an increase of
about 20 per cent; tobacco and man
ufactures of, $3S,000000, a decrease
of about $2,75O,O0O; and cocoa and
chocolate, $36,O00,0O0, an increase of
so per cent over 1915. Other impor-
tant items in this group are vegeta-
BILE oils, $94,000,000,' against $25,000,-
900 in 1915; tea, $21, 100000, compared
with $19O00,0O0 last year; gums, S15,-
100000, against $12,000OO0 in 1915 !;
dyewoods and extracts, S10,000,000,
against $5,O00O00 in 1915; spices. &c.
100000, against $6,000,O0O in 1915; in
digo, $S,000,000, against $1,600,000 in
the preceding year; rice, $6,200.000,
against $6,400,0O0 in 1915; and cabinet
woods, $4,000,000, against $4,300,000 in
1915. Feathers, ivory, sago and tap

Quinine-bearing barks, and sponges, in
sums varying from about $3,O0O,0O0
down to less than $1,OO0,000 each, COM

to keep clean.
The bungalow is, of all the build
ing types used for homes, most easy
to make comfortable because of the in
herent coZiness which is a part of the
appearance of the house itself. In case
the family is not too large the bunga-
low is most satisfactory type of
house. 1t is possible to preserve the
appearance of the bungalow and it's
style in room arrangement and still
furnish second-foor space in the. So
called "story-and-a-half" house; which
is simply the bungalow altered to pro-
vide more space. This type is ex-

Buy Fewer. Imported Gloves.

The people Of the United States are
buying fewer imported gloves than
formerly, Uncle Sam finds. Imports
of leather gloves. in the fiscal year 1916
were less than in any year since 1905.
In that year, according to the records
of the bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce, department of commerce,
they were valued at $5,095,337. In
1907 they reached their highest level
at 10,633, ,66S, and in succeeding years
have varied,in total value between ST.
100000 and $1O.O00,O0O annually until
1916 when they dropped to $4,793,-

He who reads history learns to dis

universal; to discriminate between eX-

Activity in Beet-suaar Industry

Great activity in the sugar-beet in
dustry in this country is foreshadowed
by the recent record-breaking imports
of sugar-beet seeds. Figures made
public by the bureau of foreign. and
domestic commerce, of the department
of commerce, indicate that for the nine
months ended September 80, 1916; the
imports of seed reached total of
1S,500,000 pounds, which is 15000.000i
pounds more than were imported dur
ing the complete calendar years 1918
and 1914 and nearly double tbase for
