AUGUST DREAMS Mortality Reports for August Show Increase This Year Over That OF LAST YEAR ' - Cancer is on the Increase—i ’ Typhoid More Prevalent This Year. 1 1 1 1 ' i - The monthly bulletin of the state i board of health Just Issued lu regard • to dis"tt»e and death for the month. shows that a slight Increase in both ' la to be noted when compared with ' August of 1912. The bulletin :il :> states that typhoid fever exists to a ' degree at least 30 per cent greater tliun In August of the preceding year. Typhohl fever was reported front 75 ' counties, 4P9 caaaa and 112 deaths.' This Is really a disgraceful record, for this disease is a filth disease. Md It means that the people of Indiana are not clean. Indiana has an annual typhoid rate of 31 In 100,000. London, i 1 , England, has a typhoid ate of only 4 In 100.000. In other words. Ixtndon Is a much cleaner city than the state of Indiana. Denmark has a typhoid 1 rate of only I person In 100,000, and this Is the result of cleanliness. Diphtheria was re|>orted present In I 41 counties. 1»5 cases, with 36 deaths, Tris Is an Increase over the same j month last year, ( Bearlot l‘eve r waa reported present t In 28 counties. There were 135 cases reported, uml probably twice as many not reported. Then- were six deaths » from scarlet fever. < Smallpox was reported present In < 15 counties. There were 65 cases nod no deaths. • . d ‘ Infantile paralysis was reported present In 15 counties. There were H 23 cases and ti deaths. Cancer Is on the increase.

To study out tha cancer problem would repulre a special laboratory, with not ■ less than two skilled pathologists cony stantly studying the disease.
