 During the years of 1892 to 1886 inclusive" states MT. Segur, Wa terbury had the highest automobile insurance rates in Connecticut Since that time we have had three reductions so that now we have rates lower than those obtained ii1 arsenals, but we wanted to equip private plants with the machin- cry and with the experience, so that in case of war they could 90 into production after e reason able length of time, so that we would not be held up as we were during the World War, 1T or 18 months, before we could get into production.
 55 Items
 In this program we included 55 critical items--items which the War Department considers abso- lutely necessary. The program of educational orders, of training the industry, will cut down the time 1t will take to get these items in quantity on an average about 8 months, It will run from months saving in time on some items to Il months on others, and the average saving will be about 8 months. We know from experience that actually we are not going to build up a great physical re- serve of munitions which we will need in case of war. We do not appropriate the money to do that.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8. (UP)-
Farm income, continuing an upward
surge that has carried it to two
year peak, totaled $6,335, 100000 for
the first 10 months of 1899, or
S142, 100000 more than in the cor
responding period of 1888, the agri-
culture department reported today
Although receipts from the sale
OF farm products declined two per
cent to $5,695, 100000, the depart
ment disclosed, the decrease was
more than offset by an increase in
government benefit payments from
1895 ,OO0, ,000 to $640,000,000.
Texas farmers enjoyed the largest
October income-$70,0 ,097 900, includ-
ing $9,238,000 in government pay
ments. California farmers were in
second place with $57,209,000 of
which government payments totaled

ernment payments.

there were only AZ deaths with a
death rate of 642. The decrease
in the tuberculosis death rate was
1863 with so less Deaths" DR.. Fox
said. "While Christmas seal sales
we're not responsible for all of the
improvement, they helped a great
deal"
In the United states in the same
period the death rate dropped from
tbs to 48.6.
In spite of this improvement, Fox
continued, tuberculosis still remain
ed the great killer" in the age
group from Is to As years. There
still are many persons suffering
from the early stages of the disease
who are unaware of their plight or
have no way to determine how SER
lous their condition is. Therefore,
many spreaders of the most dreaded
of diseases expose the public to
tuberculosis.
The purchase of Christmas seals,
Fox declared, is one of the best
ways for the public to assist in
stamping out tuberculosis.
