SHOW WOMEN LIVE LONGER
Government Census Statistics Give
Them Three More Years
Than Men.

Neutrality-suspicious., the United
States bureau of census will show in q
set of tables soon to be issued, are
longer lived than men to the extent OF
more than three years, and in the case
of native whites and negroes, more
than 3h years.
The tables, which were compiled in
the division of vital statistics. are the
first of their kind to be prepared by
the government. They show death
rates and expectation OF life at all
ages for the population Of the six New
England states, New York, New Jer-
sey, Indiana, Michigan and the District
of Columbia (the original death regis.
tration states) on the basis of the
population in 1910 and the mortality
for the three years 1909, 1910 and 1911.
They are similar to the life tables
prepared by the life insurance com
panies, but differ from them In that
they relate to the entire population OF
the area covered, whereas the life In
surance tables relate only to risks Sc
lected through medical examination
and otherwise.
According to these tables the aver
age expectation of life, at birth. for
males is 1919 years; for females, So 2
years; for white males, 50.2 years; for
white females. 53.6 years; for native
white males, sos; for native white fe-
males, $40 years; for negro males,
34.1 years, and for negro females, 37.7
years.
Other facts brought out relate to In
FAINT mortality, median age at death,
and the difference between city and
country life.

FARMERS URGED TO PREPARE
President of Cotton States Mer
chants Association Appeals to
Members of Organization.

In letter addressed to 10000 men,
bers of the Cotton Merchants asso-
citation President r. r. Ellis calls at
tention to the opportunity presented
at this time to render an incalculable
service to the farmers of the South by
inducing them to plant ample food
crops. Part of his letter follows:
Never in the history of our coun-
try have the citizens of the United
States been confronted with more se-
rious situation than is presented at
this time, and no man living can pre-
dict with the slightest degree of GER
tainty what the social, political or
business conditions will be in the next
six months.
Certainly It is up to US all, and
especially to the people of the South,
to prepare ourselves as best we can
for whatever may happen.
IF our individual members will
make it personal matter and duty
to use their influence to the utmost
limit In urging the farmers to raise
foodstuffs this season to last both man
and beast for full year. they will be
doing service for their communities
that will be well worth while in put
ting the South in strong financial pO-
sition, no matter what may happen, or
what may be the price Of cotton next
fall.

between the cookroOm and kitchen

ventilated cookroom will insure din

The fuelroom, filled from outside, is
right at hand, obviating the necessity
of carrying in fuel every day.
The bathroom is readily accessible
from all parts of the house, and can be
used for washing up by the men of tho
family coming from barn or fields
without going through other rooms.
The closet on the rear gallery is in
tended for boots, rubber coats, etc. As
this house was designed to meet con-
ditions prevailing in the South, no pro-
vision was made for the washing up Of

IMPORTANCE OF HERD BULL
Easy to See That None but Best Bred
Animals Should BE Used In Build
ing Up Herd.

So far as calves are concerned the
bull represents half the herd. II the
COWS are grades and the bull pure
bred animal descended from strong
line of parents, he will represent some
thing more than onehalf of the herd
because of the greater power such
well-bred animals have of stamping
their breed characteristics on their or
spring. This being the case, we can
easily see the Importance of getting
none but the best bred bulls.
