them reports his situation this way:
In the first three months of this
year he received, each month, 600
cases Of assorted advertised brands
Of whiskey and gin to sell, and
practically unlimited Scotch and
runs. But in August, he got only
200 cases Of domestic and Scotch
whiskey together. Filling out with
cordials, champagnes, runs, Cuban
gins-all easy to get If you have
the price-the salesman still sells
plenty Of merchandise, but not the
same kind
BLENDED WHISKEY SCARCE
There is a marked shortage Of
blended whiskey now because of
scant neutral grain spirits. Prob
ably this situation will not be
substantially affected by the lat
est official announcement that
there will be no holiday" per-
hitting distilling for beverage pur-
poses this wear. Beverage distilling
stopped last October.) The distillers
were not counting on any "holi-
day" when they made the current,
conservative quota arrangements.
English and Canadian whiskeys
and gins, now scarce, are supple
runs from the Caribbean. New
in the market are gins from Cuba.
Mexico and Argentina, whence the
trade hopes to get more.
For the public, the outlook is
arid. Rationing probably will be
more severe. But no matter how
low the reserves become, it is not
expected that the better advertised
brands yer will entirely disappear.
Major distributors mean to keep
doing those out. in dribbles If nec-
essary. in order to keep their names
tantalizingly fresh in the public
mind.

Former Major Health
Problems Eliminated
Only Two Deaths From Typhoid Fever Recorded in
Connecticut in 1912; Progress Analysed

Some Of the diseases which used
to be major public health problems
have been so effectively controlled
in recent years that they have
either entirely disappeared or are
vanishing. For example, in all Of
1912, only 2 deaths occurred from
typhoid fever. A generation ago,
most physicians in the state with
general practice might be sure
that he would treat at least one
case of typhoid each year. In this
generation, many physicians may
never treat a case Of typhoid fever
in their entire professional career.
Diphtheria Is a disease which did
not cause q single death In the en-
tire years Of 1941 and 1912. How
ever after thirty months, a death
occurred in June Of this year caused
by diphtheria. 1t should be noted
that in 1889, diphtheria caused TIT
deaths, the largest totatl on record
for Connecticut and the population
Of Connecticut at that time was
only 734,000.
tuberculosis which once was the
leading cause Of death, is gradually
being controlled to the extent that
1t Is now sixth or seventh in the
listing Of chief causes of death.
In recent years, deaths due to
pneumonia have sharply decreased.
The death rate from the pneu-
monias in 1912 was 2S.7 per 100000
population. 1t should be remem-
bered that a rate of 1000 per 100,-
900 population was considered a
normal rate before the reduction
started in 1929.
Only Is years ago, one baby out
of every ten born would die in the
first year Of life. This was called
an infant mortality rate Of 1000
per 1000 living births. In 1912,
this rate had dropped to 29.4, which
means that approximately one baby
out Of SO born would die In the
first year Of life instead Of one out
Of ten.
So far, the record have been re-
vealing good news, but there are
still major problems in health. II
might be well to consider for 9
moment the leading causes Of death
In Connecticut. Number one 4.
some form Of heart disease W hict
causes about 5000 deaths each year
to be exact, $685. In 1912. One dis
turbing feature which the records
reveal Is the fact that probabl.
many Of these deaths could hav
been at least postponed. Stud,

crease in deaths between so and 81

physical examination. Let me urge
on my listeners that this periodic
examination is a good investment at
all ages, and especially so after
40 years Of age.
Number two in the list Of leading
causes in Connecticut Is cancer. Here
again, as in heart disease, early dis
covery of the condition is Of para
mount Importance. 1t has been
estimated that half Of the deaths
due to cancer could have been avoid
ed If treated early in the course
Of the disease.
Connecticut, and in fact the en-
tire nation, Is experiencing an aging
population. The health problems
come under the heading of geri-
atrics, a word with whcih we shall
become increasingly familiar in the
immediate future. All treatment in
geriatrics starts with the physical
examination. AS the preservation
Of health Is so important in times
of war, let me urge all Of you,
regardless of age, to have a check
up on your general condition. 1t
may save your already overworked
physician many unnecessary calls at
a later date.

such q government can create con-
ditions for an honorable exit Of

The resolution said in part:
"All Germany knows the meaning

Just her name; nothing else:

"You have made me gloriously
