MANY DEATHS

Some Diseases Have Specific

i've, Says WhittemOre

Although North Dakota's death
rate Of IA per / 900 Of population is
the lowest in the United States regis
tration area, from 200 to 400 of
the 1900 deaths reported annually
are preventable, in the opinion of DR..

Chief among these. he said. are
for which there is either specific
cure or a practically perfect prcven-
tive.
In this list he included diphthcria
which caused 81 deaths in 1924 for
which, he said, there is both 100
per cent effective preventive and 100
per cent effective remedy if taken in
time.
Typhoid fever caused 30 deaths and
incupacitated scores Of people for six
to eight months each. 1t is easily
IS per cent preventable, he said.
State Has Been Lucky
Smallpox, he said, is 100 per cent
preventable. The only reason the
death rate from this cause has not
been high, he said, Is that the state
has been lucky, severe cpidemics hav-
ing occurred in many places through
out the country with heavy mortality.
Scarlet fever, he said, caused 43
deaths in 1924 and left thousands
with life handicap of from 10 to 25
per cent. It is 100 per cent prevent
able, in his opinion.
Measles with 64 deaths and whoop-
ing cough with 81, each SO per cent
preventable. could be reduced il prop
er steps were taken in time.
There are some diseases, sucn as
infantile paralysis, about which the
medical profession knows little, he
said, but even in these cases he ex-
pressed the opinion that correct pub
lie health measures would save. many
lives.
DR.. Whittemore said he will appeal
to the legislature for more funds,
since the only activity of his depart
ment which is adequately financed IS
the vital statistics division.

old son Of Mr.. and Mrs. John Birk-
oltz of krem, near here. was killed
yesterday morning while rounding up
the cattle in the pasture for the
morning milking. No one saw the ac-
cident which caused his death and it's
nature is not known, although it is
surmised that the pony which he was
riding must have fallen on him, caus-
ing internal injuries. There were no
bones broken or bruises to indicate
in any way how he had been hurt.
His parents. when he failed to re-
turn in due time. found his pony loose
in the field and later found him near

He died within half an hour.

When Mussolini recently told the
world he would cut railroad time be-
tween Naples to Rome, five hours, by
tunncling five mountains, it was sug-
gestcd here that railroads between
Chicago and California might do the
same to the unnecessarily long rum
ming time between the Pacific and the
Great Lakes.
Now, 10 and behold, the railroads
have done it. The shorter running
time begins in October, and west
bound travellers will save ono entire
day in California for business or sun
shine.
Santa Fc. Union Pacific, and South.
ern Pacific making the cut in time
simultaneously, arc managed by able
railroad men.
Cutting time means bringing cities
closer, helping business, making
mems lives longer. A recent cut in
time between Seattle and all the Pa
cific coast south, set q good example.
Soon passenger carrying flying ma
chimes will bring Chicago 700 miles
nearer to New York, and 1000 miles
nearer the Pacific.
