VITAL STATISTICS
ISSUED FROM STATE
BOARD OF HEALTH

The final summing of the vital
statistics for 1926 shows that there
were f0,007 births registered with the
State Registrar, giving birth rate Of
1872 per 1000 population and 295
births less than were registered in
1925. There were 5,375 deaths record
ed, giving a death rate of 9.8 per
1000, and being an increase of 272
deaths over the number reported in
1925. There were 745 deaths of in
fants under one year of age, and the
maternal deaths amounted to 49, In
addition there were 29S stiflbirths re-
ported for the year.
Of the total deaths 3,288 We're
males and 2,087 females; 4,967 were
whites; $50 Indians; 35 negroes %
yellows and one brown. The social
condition showed 2,258 single, 2,046
married, 1913 widowed; ia divorced;
and 50 unknown; 4,136 were natives
and 1929 foreign born.
The causes of death in order of fire.
quency were: Heart, pneumonia (all
forms), accidents (total), apoplexy,
cancer, tuberculosis (all forms), Ne
phritis (kidney), early infancy, influ-
enza, appendicitis.
The increase in deaths last year
may be attributed almost entirely to
the increase of influenza and it's COM
plicating pulmonary diseases.
Watch Your Water Supplies
We are approaching the season Of
the year when our streams in Montana
become swollen from the melting
SHOWS. This high water is generally
called the June Rise" and is an an
nuaf occurrence, especially noted in
the Yellowstone and Missouri rivers
and their contributary streams. OBJ
servers from the Forestry Service and
the Montana Power company are I'M
derstood to be prophesying unusual
Ty high stages of streams this year.
This is of considerable Importance
from the health standpoint as affect
ing those communities which obtain
their water supplies from streams
such as the Milk, Missouri, Yellow
stone and Big Horn rivers. High tur-
oddities increase the burdens placed
upon water publication plants and the
operators affected should be alert to
observe the changing conditions as
they occur. Any service which the
state board of health can render
through its Division of Water and
Sewage to these operators will be
gladly given to the limit of our re-
sources and abilities.

In MemOriam

Peacefully sleeping beneath the sod,
In the land they died to save,
Their names appear on the scroll of God,
With the loyal, the valient and brave,
They struck the chains from a race enslaved,
And they left no task undone,
To preserve the union and honor our flag,
Those brave boys of sixty-one.
Beneath their homeands verdant sward,
Sleep another noble band,
Who bravely answered their country's call,
To fight in foreign land.
They entered the fray nor counted the cost,
And high hearted accepted their fate,
Cuba ves with us in honoring them,
The brave soldiers Of ninety eight.
And now there's an army of younger men,
Who fought on a foreign shore,
No drawer warriors ever died.
That injustice should be no more,
For zeal and daring and bravery too,
Their equals have never been seen,
Too early they entered in their narrow beds,
Those brave soldiers of seventeen.
Cover their graves with garlands fair,
Neglect not each hallowed bed
1t is sacred ground, it merits our care,
Where rest our immortal dead.
We should never forget that they died for us,
Nor sacred their memories to keep,
And scatter the sweetest and fairest of flowe
Der the graves where our heroes sleep.
