ABOUT 100000 DIE IN A
YEAR IN UNITED STATES
Funeral Procession Is Constant
Parade of Hearses.

We come and go like swarming
flies. About 100000 Americans die
in a year, according to government
figures just announced. That's a num-
Der OF funerals almost inconCeivable.
The procession is endless, a constant
parade OF hearses. Heart disease heads
the list of death causes. Next comes
flu and pneumonia. Then, in the order
named, tuberculosis, nephritis and
cancer.
Take care of your lungs and heart
and you will have a good chance OF
living to a ripe old age, says Kismet.
Most OF us die peacefully. Out of L.
100000 deaths in America in a year
the government estimates that fewer
than 10000 are killed by accidents.
Thirteen thousand a year commit sui
eide. Murders number at least 5000 a
year, some police expert placing the
figure at 5000 higher Accidental falls
kill nearly as many as autos

Sumter County Will Buy

Will Receive Shipments of Fluid in
Carload Lots in the Future.

A dispatch says that Sumter county
officials, burdened by 3 cents state tax
on each gallon of gasoline used by
the county, have devised a means to
avoid its payment. Hereafter it IS
planned to buy gasoline in car lots
outside Georgia and store it at Ameri-
Gus until needed by the road depart
ment.
With approximately 1000 gallons OF
gasoline used monthly the county will
save considerable sum through
avoiding this tax, and, in addition, it
is believed gasoline can be bought
in large quantities cheaper than from
local dealers.
The plan was first brought to the
attention Of county commissioners by
F. F. Scarborough, broker at Macon,
who proposes to contract to furnish
the entire gasoline and oil supply dur
ing the next year.
The same proposition has been made
to the board of Terrell county. com

HUMAN FACE GROWS
LONGER WITH AGE
BONE OF MOUTH is GOING
DOWNWARD, CARRYING
TEETH WITH 1T.

LONDON.-The human face is not
what it used to be, Prof. Sir Arthur
Keith declared recently before the
dental board OF the Royal College OF
Surgeons that a curious change IS
taking place in the processes OF
growth affecting the face, which
makes the modern face a halt inch
longer than the ancestral physiogmy.
The bone of the mouth, it seems, is
growing downward and carrying with
il the teeth, as the result OF which the
face is daily getting nearer the stand
ard set by the bloodhound. These
changes also are affecting the upper
bones of the face, giving it also a
downward tendency
Laid to Changes in Society.
Sir Arthur believes that the changes
are related to the changes in society
brought about by the industrial revo-
luton and dues to a large extent to
the absence of light in large cities
The contracted palate OF the modern
skull has been brought about by these
tendencies.
Sir Arthur has discovered among
other things that the teeth are now
Il millimeters below the teeth OF
primitive people; that there has been
a downward growth of the cheek
bone; that the teeth are sinking back
ward; that there has been the growth
of more bone from the lower jaw and
the appearance OF a sharp ledge Of
bone between the teeth and the nose.
