STATISTICS SHOW NATION
HEALTHIER THAN USUAL.
Mortality Lower and Health CondionsBeucr thsPnusummer Than in
ANY Couespondnsfeio in Recent Years

The health statistics Of the leading cities of the United States. and
for the insurance companies, show that the mortality has been lower and
health conditions in general more favorable during the last summer than
during any corresponding period in recent years. Public health workers
attribute much OF this low mortality to the cool, comfortable weather pre-
vallng throughout the summer and to the fact that the influenza epidemic
hey ptall and winter caused the premature deaths of many persons suf-
ferlng from chronic diseases. These deaths would have occurred under
ordinary conditions throughout the spring and summer of 1919, health
workers say.
The figures available in the records of a leading life insurance COM
pany, industrial department, during the months of July, August and
September, this year, show exceedingly low mortality rates from the acute
infectious diseases of children, measles, scarlet fever, whooping cough and
dphtherla, as compared with the corresponding months of previous years
Typhoid fever shows a low death rate This is encouraging because it is a
sign of sanitary progress throughout the country. DaThea and enteits
intantIe intestinal diseases which have their maximum incidence during
the summer In the eastern and central part Of the United States, showed
this year one Of the lowest rates on record. The diseases and conditions
associated with child bearing also indicate improvement over the figures
for preceding summers. Beginning with the month of September, there
was a slight increase in the death rate for influenza and pneumonia, not
enough. however, to warrant the conclusion that the epidemic conditions
Of last year would be repeated.
Public health officials, and the health service of the life insurance
companies, are watching carefully the current mortality returns with a
view to controlling, so far as possible, any unfavorabe mortality situation,
should it arise The United States public health service has suggested that
local and state health departments outline an adequate program for the
control Of epidemics of respiratory disease. The life insurance companies
are urging their policy holders who have had influenza or pneumonia to
consult with their family physicians frequently in order to combat any Of
the effects of such diseases upon the heart, kidneys or lungs.

Registered Cattle
and Babies
From q Bulletin Of the United States
Public Health Service

Horse and cattle breeders owning
"blooded'' stock do not fail to have
their animals Registered" 1t adds
to their value, and is therefore justly
regarded as highly desirable. In sharp
contrast is the attitude of many care
less parents Of children. Here are a
few reasons why baby's birth should
be registered: To establish identity ;
to prove nationality; to prove legiti-
macy; to show when the child has the
right to enter school; to show when
the child has the right to seek employ
ment under the child labor law to es-
tablish the right of inheritance to
property; to establish liability to milf
tary duty, as well as exemption there
from; to establish the right to vote |;
to qualify to hold title to, and to buy
or sell real estate; to establish the
right to hold office; to prove the age
at which the marriage contract may
he entered into; to make possible sta
tistical studies of health conditions.

Ancient Deodar Trees of
India. 800 or 900 Years
Old, Considered Sacred

The natives Of the hill regions of
India consider the deodar tree almost
sacred. AS its name implies, it is the
tree Of the gods, and around many of
the picturesque little temples n sees
magnificent groves Of fine old deodars,
perhaps 500 or 900 years old, trees that
no one would dream of cutting, for
they are considered as the personal
property of the gods. Even should a
deodar fall down from old age, no
hillman would dare to use it's timber
for his own private needs. Misfortune,
as he believes, would certainly result.
If a house were built of the sacred
timber, either the house would refuse
to stand, Or-what is the more usual
form Of the gods displeasure-the
owners family would fall victims to
some terrible disease, or his crops
would fail to ripen. A hillman who
has had to pass through n of these
groves will carefully remove even dry
needles that have stuck to his feet for
fear that he may rouse the gods dis
pleasure by inadvertently removing
some of his property.

New Medicine Discovered
In France Is an Extract
From Popular MiStletoe

There is q brand new medicine, just
discovered in France; 1t is the extract
of our old friend the mistletoe. DR..
Charles Green Cumston, Swiss CORE
spondent of the New York Medical
Journal, in reporting it to that paper,
says, however, that the American mis-
tletOe will not do, as its effects are
different from it's French sister.
The new preparation is called Wis
cum album. 1t was discovered by Or.
Faultier, and he and DR.. Doyen have
had great success with it in checking
certain forms Of hemOrrhage. 1t is
given either in the form Of pills or in
i~ections into the veins. It's effect is TO
dilate the blood vessels by paralyZing
the vasOmOtor centers Of the nervous
system; to increase the Systolic energy
of the heart and slow the heart beats;
to cause contraction of the unstriped
ibers of the muscles.
Intestinal hemorrhage due to typhoid
fever is checked by it, and it is said TO
be admirable for use in hardening of
arteries.

SenegaIese Soldiers Wear
SpectacIes as Ornaments
To Impress ComDatriots

Those whom fate has condemned to
wear spectacles may have some diff
fculty in believing that anyone could
regard these articles as ornaments, to
be worn with pride and pleasure. This,
however, is nevertheless the case with
many Of the Senegalese soldiers who
fought in the war. While on leave in
Paris, on their way home, many Of
these gallant warriors have invested in
spectacles as the surest means of i'm
pressing their compatriots.
An Optician relates that when he
tried to sell a pair of s%pectacles with
plain glass to a Senegalese whose
sight was obviously excellent, the sol
der complained that they were no
good because they did not "make
everything look funny" The optician
Immediately supplied the soldier with
a pair Of concave lenses that would
have done very well for a short-sight-
ed student. The customer was salts
fled at once, paid, and went out, col
liding on the way with various pieces
of furniture.

Peaceful Color of Green
Was Mother Earth'S Choice

How many of us ever wonder why
Mother Earth chose to dress in green?
The earth was not always green. Once
it was as naked as the moon but there
came a day when the weather grew
cool enough to demand clothing, and
at that time, no doubt, our material
planet began to look about to choose
a color scheme for her dress. Why
she chose green is not Of record, but
that she chose it with her whole heart
every pleasant place of creation testi-
fies. Scientists explain that this Is
merely a natural phenomenon, the col
or being chlorophyl pigment. turned
green by action of the sun. But why
it did not turn blue, or red, or black
no scientist knows. About all we can
say is that Mother Earth wanted q
green dress, and she ven and got it.

Kiev, With About 100000
Inhabitants, Combination
of Both the Old and New

Kiev contains about 100000 inhabi-
tants, and comprises four distinct dis
tricts, which may also be called sep
arate towns. Podol, the commercial
quarter, skirts the river Dnieper, and
above it, on a steep declivity, is Lipki,
the residential quarter, and an en-
chanting spot in summer, with its
handsome villas empowered in dark,
luxuriant foliage.
North of that is Kiev proper, which
contains the university and the cathe-
dral of st. Sophia, a building erected
in the eleventh century, but so con.
stantly repaired and added to that il
is now a huge and towering structure
with more than q dozen large golden
domes.
Here also are the theaters, hotels
and shops, which are quite as mod
ern as those of Petrograd or Moscow
Petchersk, the fourth district, is honey
combed with and catacombs thai
in olden days were used as places OF
refuge and as mOnastic cells, ant
where, during holy festivals, one car
scarcely move through the dense
crowds Of pilgrims, of whom 100000
annually visit this ancient and reveret
monastery.

KidWeIIy Is Quaint Old
Welsh Town; Place Lives
Largely in Days Gone BY

Kidwelly Is a quaint old town in
Wales. 1t is Il dreamy little COM
munity set in snugly between broad
marshes and Carmarthen bay, and di-
vided by q curving river with al I'M
~pronounceable Welsh name. Old Kid
welly lives largely in the past. 1t has
been the scene Of battles and sieges.
1t has a castle whose turrets and round
towers still stand bravely, their age
kindly hidden by the vines that enfold
them.
1t pretends to remember well the oc~
casion of the Welsh princess who
stormed the town at the head OF her
army. 1t tells the story proudly, "a
little sadly ut the end, for the warrior
princess was executed by her enemies.
1t is n dusty, unromantic climb to
the battlements, but the view from
the castle top is worth the trip. The
quaint, tumbledown houses at the foot
of the walls are a mere skeleton Of the
old town ms it was in its prime. Be
yond them are marshy fields rolling
away to the next village. Far below
is the river once thrOnged with ships
of trade that long ago deserted il for
richer ports. Its streets are almost
empty, and it's old-fashiOned residents,
primly oblivious to new improvements
and styles of architecture, testify loud
ly to its age.

Raccoons Closely Related
to Bears in Numerous WAYS

The Latin name for a raccoon is
Procyon lotOr, and the last part refers
to the habit of washing its food. al
though much smaller" notes an au-
thority, "raccoons are closely related
to the bears, which they resemble in
many ways, and they are naturally one
of the widest of wild creatures. A full
grown raccoon cannot be tanned; but
a very young coon Is easily domesti-
Gated and can be taught several clever
tricks. RaccOons in captivity, how
ever, must be confined and not al.
lowed to wander at will, for they never
lose their love of the farmers hen
roost or his cornfields, and will do
serious damage to either. They can
be easily trained to wear a collar and
can be given a daily airing by means
of a leash.

IN CULLING KEEP
ONLY GOOD PULLETS

Every well-developed, early-hatched
pullet in good health is a potential egg
layer. Just as there is no method Of
judging the speed of a horse before
he has been raced or of determining
the butterfat record Of q heifer before
she has been freshened, so there is no
accurate means Of telling how many
eggs the pullet will lay until she has
been given a trial. AS a rule, most
pullets which start laying before win
ter will lay at least enough eggs to
pay for their feed during their first
laying season. All mature, vigorous
pullets should be kept. Any weak, I'M
dersized, late-hatched. or deformed
pullets should be culled out in the fall.
Other methods of estimating the flu
ture egg production Of pullets are in
accurate and their use is not advised.
The real problems in culling q poul-
try flock are found with hens that
have finished one or two laying sea-
sons. The general rule with pullets
Is to keep practically all and with
aged hens to dispose Of all, but with
all yearling hens and with twO-year-
old hens of the lighter breeds some
should be sold and others kept. To
Gull hens OF these ages every bird
must be studied to determine her
value. Nature has marked the poor
producer, and the poultry keeper
should be able to recognize the marks.

Violin Maker Manufactures
Riddles With P0cketknife

Material Of strange description con-
tributes interest to the productions OF
an eccentric Ohio violin maker whose
instruments are noted for their ornate
carvings. Extremely simple tools are
used by the workman, an old pocket
knife with nicked and rusted blades
being one Of his favOrite implements.
In spite of this, the instruments have
IN excellent appearance and good tonal
qualities. Wood taken from the heart
Of a partly petrified log dug up in an
eastern state forms the back of one of
the extraordinary violins. Another un-
usual instrument has a back made
from one of the drawers of q bureau
brought to this country from England
shortly after the historic voyage Of the
MayflOwer.

Nu: ML4~saQ
Hot Application to the
Abdomen Is an Old Remedy

One of the old standby of doctors Is
in the form of hOt-water bags, hot
plates, hot congresses or even hot fiat
irons. This produces a certain ense
Of well-being and is supposed to relax
spasm and aid digestion. But the Jour
nal Of the American Medical Associa-
ton points out that all experiments to
ascertain how the heat acts fail to
prove that it acts at all. 1t Is certain
that the heat does not actually pene-
trate the organs within the abdomen
and it may be that whatever results
are obtained are brought about by way
of the nervous mechanism connecting
the skin and the internal organs.

Oranges, Lemons, Pineapple
and Apricots as Medicine

A diet of oranges will clear muddy
compilations and reduce s%uperabund-
ant curves. Lemon, taken internally,
Guenches thirst and prevents the bad
habit of overindulgence in ice water.
Lemons clear the skin, assist the di-
gestion and help one get rid Of fat.
Applied externally, they are a bleach
that will remove stains from the fin
gers or neck, freckles from the arms
or cheeks and sallow blemishes. Pine
apples are said to sweeten the voice,
restore the quality Of it, if it has
grown husky, and aid digestion, which
means they will help to beautify the
complexion. Apricots are used for the
same purpose, and are much favored
in oriental countries.
