HEALTH FIGURES IN 1888
AND 1889 ARE COMPARED
Fewer Births, January To June,
This Year; Fewer Infant Deaths

In spite of the hazards involved in
an epidemic of measles, such as occur
red last winter when over $4,000 cases
were reported in the State, the records
Of the State Department of Health
show that the first six months of 1889
were especially favorable to children
and young people. Some of the out
standing features of the records for
the current year were summarized by
DR.. R. H. Riley, Director of the De-
partment, as follows:
From January l to June 80 of this
year." DR.. Riley said, "13,857 births
and II, 134 deaths from all causes and
in all age groups, were reported to the
Department in comparison with 14,174
births and 1886 deaths during the
corresponding period of 1888.
There were fewer births this year
than during the first six months of
1888, but there were also fewer infant
deaths. There were TIC deaths under
one year during the first six months of
1889 and 802 during the corresponding
period of 1888. Or, to put it differently,
up to the end of June this year, there
were 81 deaths in relation to each one
thousand births; last year during the
same period there were 81 deaths
among each thousand children born.

the degenerative diseases, of middle
life or old age, were largely response
BILE for the increase in the total deaths,
and for the increase in the death rate
from 12.1 per thousand Of the total
population during the first six months
of 1888 to 1926 this year. The deaths
from the degenerative diseases were:
First six months of 1889: Heart dis
ease, 3,057 deaths; cancer, 1904
deaths; nephritis, /, 157; cerebral hem
orrhage, GAL, and diabetes, 272, total

There were $500 cases Of pneumonia
reported during the first six months Of
1889 with 813 deaths, in comparison
with 2,129 cases and 856 deaths dur
in the corresponding period of 1888. 1t

garding the effectiveness of the newer

port in 1886 he got that support 100
per cent-and still has it. The Com
munists no longer put up candidates
of their own. They publicly support
the New Deal on the theory that it
tends in their direction and the best
wav to promote Communism in this
country is to foster it.
This has been openly proclaimed by
Communist leaders and by the Com
munist organs. In particular, the Com
munist supports the New Deal spend
ing plans and Mr. Earl Browder, Off
cial head of the American Commun-
lists was out for third term before
either Senator Guffey or Mr.. lckes.
The strategy is as ingenious as it is eff
fective and it has been helped along
bv two things-one, by the left wing
publicists, who raise the cry of Red
Batter" the moment the facts are pre-
sented; the other by the frequent at
tendance of Mrs. Roosevelt upon gath
orinos of various organizations, di-
rected and dominated by Communistic
influences. In her well-meaning hu-
manitarian way, unconsciously, she
has helped the Communists play what
unouesionably is shrewd but also is
sinister game.

Tonight the tide was sleek and shy
AS it approached the shore;
It nudged the boats in passing by,
And whispered secrets from its store
Of salient mystery.
It, angling, stirred the seaweed, deep
Beneath the surface gray;
1t urged the sea gu1ls not to weep
And softly, hooking, sank away
To more mischievous sea.
