VERY FEW DEATHS FROM
SMALLPOX IS REPORT

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 25.-
The Department of Commerce,
though the Bureau of the Census,
announces that there nave been very
few deaths from smallpox in recent
years. Since the beginning of annual
compilations in 1900 the highest rate
from this cause in the death registra-
ton. area of the United States was 90
per 100000 population in 1902, while
in 1903 it was AZ and in 1904, 81,
since which time the rate for the
registration area has never reached ]
per 100, 900 population. Much higher
rates in certain states and cities
however, clearly show that the danger
of smallpox in an unvaccinated popu
lation must not be lost s:gnt of. The
I rate (9.2) in 1920 in Louisiana shoult
serve, as q warning.
