HOW LONG YOU
WILL LIVE
Exectation Of Life Tables
Prove Women Live Longer
Than Men.

Washington, Jnly 6.-How long
will you live? Uncle Sam can tell you
almost in the first life expectation
tables this government has ever pre-
pared and which will be issued soon
by the census bureau. The tables are
similar to those prepared by life inSur-
ance companies, but relate to the
whole population in the territory
covered, while the company tables
relate only to the insured persons.
The population embraced BY the
tables is that of the registration
area''-New England, New York,
New Jersey, Michigan and the Dis
trict of Columbia population which
is, however, characteristic of an i'm
portant portion of the United States.
One interesting point brought out
by the table is that female whites have
consistently a longer expectation of
life than male whites atall times from
birth to94 years ofage. Another mat
ter Of interest Is that the healthieSt
year Of life for both male and female
native whites is the twelfth, when the
death rate, which for the first year
was more than 1900 for boys and
10000 for girls a 10000, is reduced
to 22S and 1893 respectively.
At birth, il is shown, the average
expectation Of life for native white
males is, approximately, 500 years,
and for females, 53i years. For those
who manage to reach the first mile
stone, however, the expectation is,
respectively, 81 and 60 years.
A striking difference between ex-
pecahOnin city and country is shown.
The average white male at birth in
rural districts has IL more years to
live than if born in a city. The ex-
pectaion of the average female is in
creased also, but only six years.

TRACHOMA.

At the June meeting of the City
Board of Health, the following res
olution was adopted UNANIMOUSLY; viz:
Whereas it has been reported Of
ficiaIly by a U. S. Public Health
Surgeon, also by the State Board Of
Health that several cases of Trachoma
exist in the schools of Hopkinsville,
that might if neglected become a
menace to public health, Therefore
under the law this Board must take
proper steps to stamp out this con-
tagious and destructive disease TO the
eye-sight, and to further protect other
children from contracting this disease
in our midst, due and timely warning
is given that no child will be allowed
to attend school in the City of Hop
hnsville, that is afflicted with the
disease, until such one has been treat
ed for same. Parents, or guardians
who are unable to pay for said treat
ment, such a case, if any will be
treated free" by the specialists Of
City.
This is not an arbitrary ruling of
the Board, but State law, and the
State Board of Health say that it must
be enforced.

CONFEDERATE
MEDICAL INSPECTION

Afriend was talking to Basil w.
Duke about the rejection of so many
Kentuckians who enlisted in the Ken
lucky National Guard and expected to
be received in the United States Vol
teer Army. The General said:
"WhenI went into the army
weighed 40 pounds and was five
feet nine. When Castlrman enlisted
he weighed 12S pounds and was siS
feet two. Both of US would have
been thrown out under the present
standard. My custom was to ask the
young man ambitious to enlist in the
army, can you ride horse?' and il
he said yes, ] had him sworn in and
that was the end of il. We never
had hospital, we rarely had any
body sick-Our ranks were only
by the enemy's b ullets. "

grams into the record telling Of seri-
Gus conditions along the Texas and

Every man with sense enough to
come in out of the wet said Stone,
knows the situation in Mexico is
critical-that an effort is being made
by numerous sinister influences in and
outside Of Mexico to excite and in
fame Mexicans; to tell them the
Uuited States contemplates an agrees
sion against their whole government
and people"
