INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT
DEATH RATE OF RACES

Kentucky being a Southern state
with a large percent of It's population
comprised Of negroes, has attracted
considerable attention from the rest or
the States that Keep Vital Statistics
records and which have only a small
,,percent OF negro population. a resume
OF the 1915 Vital Statistics records of
Kentucky shows that there were 23'54l
death of white people recorded during
the year and 5,519 deaths of negroes
The total estimated white population
of Kentucky was 2,115,315 and total
colored population was 249970. This
gave a death rate of Ill for whites
and 22.9 for blacks per 1000 population.
n is very significant that the diseases
of the respiratory organs are respon-
sible for much larger death rate
among the colored population than the
white. The death rate per 100000
white population was l44.S and 434.2 in
the colored for tub erculosis OF the lungs
The rate per 100000 for other forms of
tuberculosis for white population was
2O.l and for coiored population, 4l.6.
Pneumonia gave q death rate Of 1871 per
ivU. Jec Tor the white and 2O4.5 for col
cred population. Whooping cough gave
so- yhl.a ar ike III the cclored
population. Influenza or lagrippe gave
10 7 for the white and 1854 for the coll
ored population. Diarrheal and dysen-
teric diseases, including typhoid Fever
afford a striking example OF the high
death rates in the colored population,
The rates per 100000 being 27b for
whites and 49.2 for colored population

THE BIG SANDY.
(By Oscar Boland.)

Meekly moves this seward strear
Meath the night stars glow;
Listless falls the hayward beam
OF the evenings transient CLEAN
On the patient flow.
Bending on and duty led
Round the guardian hills,
Turns it down it's winding bed,
Creek inspired and valley fed,
AS the Master wills.
Never hating. never stayed.
Glides this stream along
BY the willows mellow shade
Down the path the Master made
Rolling stream Of song.
Gross you here? Then bridge my
breast,
Ford my depth, or swim,
Else content to be my guest
Master bids me never rest
And | follow Him"
Like this patient stream ! pray,
Calm, reposeful, free,
Trustful faithful, day by day
Let me, Lord, pursue the way
Set apart for me!
