 Pulmonary tuberculosis led in caus- ing deaths in the state in 1914 and 1915, according to the biennial report of Dr. c. w. Garrison, state health of ficer. Figures for 1916 will not be compiled until after the end of the year. Dr. Garrison estimates that not more than 80 per cent of the death from diseases were reported to the Bureau of Vital Statistics, through the lnadequacy of the laws governing the reports and the failure of county judges to cooperate, but says the fig ures come from all parts of the state and undoubtedly show the correct proportion of causes of deaths from the chief diseases prevalent in Ar kansas.
 'It will be seen from the figures" !" the report says, that negroes are more susceptible to tuberculosis than ent when it is remembered that the white population of the state is estI- mated at 1,240 900 and the negro popu- lation at 485,OO0. While there were more deaths from pneumonia than from malaria it will be seen that the need of malaria control is great when it is considered that the mortality rate on pneumonia cases is 10 per cent, while that of malaria is about one-half of one per cent.
 "The need of anti-typhoid work is also emphasized. The mortality rate of typhoid is from eight to 10 per cent. Thus there are approximately 5000 cases annually in the state. That is far to high. The fact that 665 deaths have been reported from child bed fever is indicative that more stringent laws are needed to control midwife E aetiee. Investigation has shown ipFhat Tn a large per cene

pears little damaged, though in the
rear inside, the partitions are almost
entirely burned out. and desks and
equipment ruined. In the laboratory

east end of the building, was entirely
demolished and the two rooms beneath
were wrecked.
The fire department responded
promptly to the alarm and did much to
prevent the fire from spreading to the
main body of the building. The front
rooms were not badly damaged and in
vestigation showed little injury to 9TH
