An increase in the consumption Of milk in. Birmingham of 100 per cent is indicated by reports received by l.. C. Bulmer, chief of the bureau of food and dairy inspection of the Bir- mingham department of health.
 Birmingham registered a 92 per cent increase in sale of milk in the city in 1922 as compared to 1921, the increase being from 6,0o0 to 11,500 gallons per day In that respect. This year is expected to set a record of 23,000 gallons a day.
 "Of chief interest" Mir. Bulmer said, Saturday morning." is the fact that the purchase of milk from points beyond the Birmingham area is not increasing and the imported milk remains at from 10 to 15 peY cent of the milk consumed in the city as was the case two and three years ago"

PNEUMONIA LEADS
 DEATHS IN U. 5. 4. Takes Between 13,OOO and 14,0OO
 Lives Every Year

Washington, D., March 12.- Pneumonia is responsible for more deaths in this country each year than any other disease, according to off cials Of the United States Public Health service It is estimated that pneumonia exacts an annual toll of between l5,o00 and 14,000 lives.
 But there has been pronounced decrease in deaths from pneumonia as well as every other disease within the last twenty years. Twenty years ago 1895 persons in every 1000 died yearly of pneumonia, while at present only 123.6 persons die from it..
 Taking all diseases as d whole, it is estimated that they are responsible for between l41,000 and 142,000 deaths every year. Twenty years ago l,755 persons out of every 100000 died an- nually from all diseases. Today there is an annual death rate of 1,2SS per- sons in every 100000 from all dis eases.
 Next on the list of deadly diseases comes diphtheria, which exacts an an nual toll of about 1000 lives. Twenty years ago 43.3 persons out of every 10000 died of this disease. Today there is an annual death rate of 14.7 from this cause.
 Typhoid is next and causes about 1900 deaths each year. Twenty years ago the death rate from typhoid was s5.9 persons in every 100000, com pared with 9.2 today.
 Measles and scarlet fever are re- sponsible for 500 and 400 deaths. There has been marked decrease in deaths from both diseases within the last twenty years. however.
 This improvement in health is due to several things Public health off cials assert. Princpally it is the high development of medical skill, combin ed with laboratory study of the causes and remedies for each disease.

Order Your Ford Now,
 Says AutOmOtive Sales Go.

Sales of Ford cars are everywhere growing so rapidly that deliveries by
 carly spring will be slow" says MT, W. F. Burton, manager of Automotive
 Sales & Service Co.,, local Ford dealer,
 who has just returned home from
 New York where he attended meet
 ing of Ford deaelrs of this district.
 "Information received at the meeting relative to sales was rather surprising and my advice to persons
 who contemplate driving a Ford car this summer Is to place their orders at once to insure delivery by the time they will want to use the car." he con- | tinued.
 | Sales of Ford cars have averaged more than 100000 month since last April with the high mark Of 10b,799 being reached in December, a remark able showing for mid-winter sales. January is expected to exceed this tfgure by good margin. ' "The production schedule set for he Ford Motor company's plant at Detroit for 1923 Is 6,000 cars a day, which will bring an increase of nearly a quarter million cars this year over fast year.
 But advices are that 6,O0o-car-a- day production will not be reached until about April first and with sales now rapidly growing and the heavy car buying season near at hand it is ea,,y to be seen that deliveries will co,ne slowly before long.
 ''At present there are in stock only. an average of about two cars per dea Ter. another evidence of how sales are jumping.
 ".rhere is no question but what the prospective buyer of Ford car will act wisely if he places his order i'm meddately Then he will be assured of having his car when he wants it and will not have to wait"

Above the road Of the seas faint cries continued to drift back from the un- fortunate fishermen but their mates were helpless to aid them, their whole effort being directed to saving their craft from sinking. Buoys were thrown out and when a Hull came the schooner moved about showing flares but no trace Of the men was found.
 The missing men were Herbert Blondin of Newfoundland, Myles OBrien, Bay Of Bulls, N. F.. James Murphy, Canso. N, S.. and John Me Leod, St. Peters, N. s.

 On Thursday the Howard started for Halifax to make repairs and re- port the loss of life.

The Howard bore down on the help less craft. which proved to be the Nova Scotia fisherman Helen NJ. Coo len. The vessel was in imminent dan ger of sinking, so dories were put out by the Howard and 16 of the Coolens crew were taken aboard. Soon after wards the Coolen foundered.
