AnnuIs Only Conflicting Laws.

Washington. = Solicitor General
King, in a brief filed in support of
federal court DEGREES dismissing in
junction proceedings against the Vol

The final vote on the Anthony

senator was thrown into the back

NEWS ITEMS FROM
ALL OVER KANSAS
Happenings of More or Less
Interest Gathered From
Many Sources.
Records Show Great Improvement in
Work of Cenquerins Disease, Or.
s. J. crumbine Says.

Kansas may go out and do some
special advertising as a health resort.
DR.. S. ]. Crumbine, secretary Of the
state board of health, took the Kan
sss health figures for 1919 and made
some interesting comparisons with
the records of the governments reg
istration area, covering those states
where the death reports are regarded
as absolutely accurate. Kansas be-
longs to this area.
The Kansas death rate from tuber-
culosis, heart disease, Bright's disease
and even cancer is below that of the
registration area by a considerable
margin, and has been for several
years. The rate is figured on deaths
to every hundred thousand of popula-
ton and Kansas reported 1924 for or
ganic heart disease while the area re-
ported 1882. On tuberculosis Kansas
showed rate of $50 while the reg
istration area reported 1854.
For years Kansas was tagging be-
hind the other states in the fight on
typhoid fever In 1917. the Kansas
death rate was 1872, while the regis
tration area rate was 1874. But last
year the Kansas rate dropped to II.
Improved sanitary conditions, anti
typhoid vaccination, and the vigorous
preaching of, common sense health
rules to young mothers through the
child hygiene bureau are given credit
for the sIumps in the typhoid and
enteritis death rates.
Army training, typhoid vaccination
and a better general understanding OF
the necessity of sanitary conditions
were the big factors in cutting down
the typhoid rate said DR.. Crumbine.
For years the typhoid death rate in
Kansas was really somewhat of dis
grace 1t seemed as if we just couldn't
cut it down.
1.-The enteritis death, among infants
less than two years old, always had
been too high, but that condition pre-
vailed over the entire country. Kan
sas was no exception. But it is ex-
tremely gratifying that the number
OF deaths of infants from this cause
has been almost cut in two in the
last two years"
