Congress has passed the castor bean
growers relief bill, according to a

THE INFLUENZA LOSS

Figures made a matter Of public
record by the Chief Actuary Of the
New York Life Insurance company
indicate that he deaths in this coun-
try during 1918 from Spanish infuen-
"a totaled at least 100000, if they did
not pass that number.
Complete statistics are at hand In
regard to the 46 chief cities Of the
country. They show that the infuen-
"a death rate was the highest in
Philadelphia, with the following cit
les coming in the order named: Bal
timore, Boston, New Orleans, Wash
ington, Nashville, San Francisco and
Kansas City. The death rate during
the year in the 46 cities stood at So
per thousand, and it is by applying
this same rate to the small tonws of
the country districts that the est.
mate of 100000 deaths for the year
is reached. But, as a matter of fact
there is evidence to show that in
many of the country districts the
death rate was heavier than in the
cites. There is, therefore, no reason
to suppose that the estimate Of 500,
600 overshoots the mark.
Fortunately the influenza plague In
this country has spent its force, and
there is little reason to fear that II
will return. 1t has certainly disap

And so more and more women are
sending their lace curtains, blankets,
spreads, couch covers, over draper
les, rugs, carpets, ETC., to the laundry
for washing or dry cleaning.
A helper comes into wash windows
and wood work, the laundry returns
everything beautifully fresh and
clean, and housekeeping is over,
without turmoil or fatigue.
In short, mother is progressive. She
realizes that while twenty-five years
ago she would have had to wash her
own curtains and blankets, laundry
methods have changed; that up-to-
date laundry owners have seen an
opportunity to render a broader
service and have equipped for it.
