Deaths from heart disease In its
various forms are increasing steadily in
the United States; deaths from tubercu-
losis are showing a steady decline, and
those from BFight's disease and
nephrius increaSing, according to a
preliminary announcement of the show
ing OF mortality statistics for the coun-
try by Director Harris Of the Census
Bureau.
Decline in the tuberculosis death rate
is ascribed to the various campaigns of
prevention. There has also been a
marked decline, the figures show, In
railway and street car accidents.
The mortality rate from typhoid has
decreased steadily in the past year.
showing the benefits OF better santa
ton.
The figures were compiled by Richard
c. Lappin, chief statistician for vital
statistics, from the reports of the regis
tration area, which comprises two-thirds
of the United States. 1t lis shown that
sos, ,O59 deaths reported for the year 1914
were due to three causes-heart disease.
tuberculosis, and pneumonia-and more
than 60 per cent to eleven causes, the
three named and Bright's disease ana
nephritis, cancer, diarrhea, and enterl-
tbs, apopIeXy, arterial diseases, dipn-
liberia, diabetes, and typhC'd fever.
Deaths from heart disease numbered
99,5Si, or 1903 per lOO, 900 of population, a
marked increase compared with 1867.
Tuberculosis in its various forms
claimed 96,90S victims in 1914, of
which number 1896 died from tuber-
culosis OF the lungs Uncluding acute
military tuberculosis). In only dec
ade-from 1904 to 1914-the death
rate from tut erculosis in all its forms
fell from 20O.7 TO 1868 per 100. 600, the
decline being continuous from year
to year. This is drop of more than
25 per cent. Prior to 1904 the. rate had
fluctuated, starting at 2Ol.9 In 1900,
Even yet tuberculosis has the grue-
some distinction of causing more
deaths annually than any other form
of bodily Illness except heart diseases,
and over 40 per cent more than all eX-
ternal causes-accidents. homicides,
and suicide combined. Steady decline
in the rate from tuberculosis is as
cribedNby the census to a better un.
derstahding of the laws of health and
the necessity for fresh air.
Pneumonia Qncluding bronchopneu'
monia) was responsible for S3,S04 deaths
in the registration area in 1914, or IL
per 100000, the lowest rate on record
The mortality rate from this disease
like that from tuberculosis, has showT
a marked decline since 1901
The only remaining death rate highel
than 100 for each 100000 of population
was that for Bright's disease and acut,
nephritis, 1924 per cent. The mortality
from these two diseases increased from
So ner 100, 600 in 1900 to 1904 in 1905.

Hot Water for
SickHeadaches
Tells why everyone should
drink hot water with phos-
phate In Il before breakfast.

Headache of any kind, Is caused by
auto-intoxication-wh means self
poisoning. Liver and bowel poisons
called toxins, sucked into the blood,
through the lymph ducts, excite the
heart which pumps the blood so fast
that it congests In the smaller arteries
and veins of the head producing Vio-
lent, throbbing pain and distress, called
headache. You become nervous, de-
spondefft, sick, fevcrish and miserable.

YOU. Then you resort to acetantilde'
aspirin or the bromides which temper
arily relieve but do not rid the blood OF
these irritating toxins.
A glass of hot water with a teaspoon
full of limestone phosphate in 1t, drank
before breakfast for awhile, Will not
only wash these po!sons from your sys-
tenn and cure you OF headache, but Will
cleanse, purify and freshen the entire
alimentary canal.
Ask your pharmacist for a quarter
pound Of limestone phosphate. 1t is in

LANSING DECLARES
FORNEUTRAL RIGHTS
Time to Stop cOnceding All Ad-
vantages to BeIIigerents,
Secretary Of State Says.

Secretary OF state Lansing has pro-
posed that a new code OF international
law to safeguard the rights OF neutral
nations be framed by agreement be-
tween the nations now at peace.
In a letter to the American Institute
OF International Law, of which he is
a member, Secretary Lansing said it
is time to reverse the policy by which
belligerents are permitted to Ak the
terms Of international law affecting
neutrals. and that the neutral nations
should set forth in terms the principles
Of a code binding belligerents to fairer
treatment of nations at peace.
Secretary Lansing proposes that a
committee OF the American Institute of
international Law. which Is composed
OF representatives from all the twenty
one American republics, be named I'd
adopt these principles he suggests.
While only the neutral nations of the
Western Hemisphere have membership
in the institute, several European ma
tions, neutral and belligerent, have
named corresponding members.

WASHINGTON LADY
AND HER DAUGHTER
NOW PRAISE 'DRFCO''
Is 66 Years Old, But Feels Young
Since Taking New
Medicine.

Testimonials continue to come in
from Washington citizens who have
taken Dreco and been benefited by It.
Below is printed the signed statement
by one OF this citys most prominent
and highly respected ladies. Mrs. w.
=. Chroniger, COS Fourth street north
west.
During my early life was a deli
cate girl and had many doctors work
on me, but in more recent years 1
enjoyed better health till about three
years ago. Pains in my limbs troubled
me greatly. didn't sleep we'll at night,
had very little appetite, and was
badly constipated. One of the men
working in the Government Printing
Office along with my husband rec
commended Dreco, saying he had used
II in his family with fine results, so
he got a bottle for me. and 1t has
worked wonders in my case. / am
ready to begin my third bottle now
and intend keeping 1t up, as ! have
never found any medicine that helped
me so much. and 1 am 66 years old.
My married daughter is also taking II
and is much pleased also. l have no
more pains in my back and limbs,
sleep fine at night. and constipation Is
entirely gone u would be worth the
price for the relief from constipation
alone, even II that was all 1 got from
1t, 1t gives me pleasure to advise
others to take Dreco."
Dreco has proven its worth in the
treatment of constipation, kidney and
liver troubles. backache, rheumatism,
catarrh, dizziness, gas on the stomach,
sleeplessness, and general debility. A
special representative Is at O'Don-
nelis SO4 II street store, explaining
the merits OF preco, and will be glad
to meet all sufferers. Druggists in

MONTHS REQUIRED TO
FILM OVERLAND CARS
Movie Operators Have Novel
Experiences At Plant
In Toledo, Ohio

c. R. Bosworth and Joseph
Frenes, photographers of the
Lyman H. Howe Films Company,
had many new and novel expert
ences in making the new picture
1.-The Manufacture of an Auto
mo bile" just filmed at the
WHY'S Overland plant, Toledo.
Working with a company of
nearly 10000 actors" each one
going about his daily tasks with
out posing was a new sort of
studio to them and one that
proved full of possibilities.
my companion and | spent
nearly three months at Toledo, "
said Mr.. Bosworth. I'VE joined
the army of workers at Z a. m.
each dav and did our full eight
hours work. In the movie
studios and in the open where
travel movie subjects are gener-
ally made the sun plays so big a
part that it has MANY absent
days. Neither deFrenes nor
myself knew the meaning of the
early morning whistle until we
made our plans for the new
story. We soon were facing the
new experiences of getting up
at 5 and taking early morning
trolley trips with Overland
employees. The big factory has
a grim appearance in the early
morning. 1t reminded me of the
big dredges in Culebra Cut at
the Panama Canal. Quiet until
you give them steam and then!
The great mechanical units of
those dredges work surely and
smoothly and they keep going.
So with this automobile giant.
With the sounding of a bell, an
army of human and mechanical
forces, cleverly united, bring
Willys-Overland cars into being
one thousand of them in a
single day.
ITO move our picture taking
apparatus through the miles OF
factory area required the SER
vices of five electricians and the
use of ten specially constructed
trucks, operated by twenty
men. The wire for supplying
the electric current to our light
ing system was a single item re.
curing more than a month OF
preparation. The move of a
switch illuminated any corner
to brightness that permitted
every form of photography.
When everything was in place
we had before US by far the
greatest moving picture studio
| in the world.
Without interrupting any
operations in the manufacturing
processes we filmed our story Of
the automobile in the making
needing no rehearsals because
every scene was portrayed before
us as it occurs every day at thu
