DISEASE AND DEATH IN INDIANA IN OCTOBER.

I he bulletin of the State Board jot Health for the month of- October. just issued, says: In October there waS an increase in the number of deaths and an increase in sickness over the corresponding month last year. Typhoid fever was reported the most prevalent disease. The ignorance which permits cholera is no worse than the ignorance which permits typhoid fever. Order of disease prevalence: Typhoid fever, tonsilitis. bronchitis, rheumatism. diphtheria and croup, scarlet fever, tuberculosis, - pulminary influenza, diarrhoea, malaria fever, broncho-pneumonia, dysentery. intermittent and remittant fever, tuberculosis, other forms, cholera morbus, measles, pneumonia. lobar; cholera infantum, whoopingcough, inflammation of bowels chickenpox. erysipelas, cerebro-spinal meningitus. smallpox, poliomelitis. puerperal fever. Deaths—The deaths numbered 2,761, rate 11.5. In same month last year 2,674 -deaths, rate 11.13. There were 500 deaths under 1 year of age, or 18 per cent of the total: 754 deaths 65 years and ov-' er or 27.3 of the total., Tuberculosis caused 326 deaths, over ten each day, Typhoid caused 159 deaths, diphtheria 51, scarlet fever 11, measles 3. whoopingcough 27, pneumonia 143. diarrhoeal diseases 189. cerebfo-spinal meningitis, 9, influenza 8, puerperal fever 14 cancer 148. violence 182, infantile paralysis 11. Cancer is increasing. «■ It is hoped infantile paralysis would not appear in Indiana, but it has come wth a vengeance. It has been reported in the following counties; Cass, Elkhart, Grant, Huntington. Miami, Pulaski. Stark, Steuben, Tippecanoe, St. ■ Joseph, Allen, Benton, Jay,* Wayne. Brown, Carroll. The only prophylaxis for this disease is to keep the children in as good health as possible. ‘ Their food should be plain. Cheap candies and all-day suckers must be avoided for. they disturb the stomach. Give the child plain.food with fruits and vegetables. Cut down meat fully one-half. Milk, fruits, welLbaked bread and eggs and rice and hominy will preserve the strength and health of any child. They must sleep in well ventilated berrooms, go to school in well ventilated schoolrooms and have a full measure of outdoor life. Regular hours, plenty of sleep and cleanliness of body. i A

EXPOSITION FIGHT INTERESTS COUNTRY

San Francisco Outclasses Hew Orleans In Every Respect. The great fight that i - being waged between San Francisco and New OrA leans for the honor of celebrating the completion of the Panama canal Is attracting the attention of the entire country. The fight Is no longer a contest between the two cities, but between California and Louisiana, {be legislatures cf which have each authorized a state tax to raise funds in aid of the proposed international exposition. In financial standing California Is so far ahead of Louisiana that its superior ability to finance the fafr must be conceded, and if the question of selecting a site for the exposition were to be decided on & basis of the relative wealth of the contestants, congress would haye no option, but would be forced to award the coveted honor to San Francisco. To the unprejudiced observer it is difficult to see wherein New Orleans has any legitimate claim to recognition as the logical point for the exposition. aside from the mere fact that It is located nearer to the center of population. In beauty of surroundings. climatic advantages, ability to handle the hundreds <sf thousands of prospective visitors, general progressive spirit of its people and record of achievement,, San Francisco stands head and shoulders above Its rival. According to the repert of the .national monetary commission on April 28, 1909, the population of California was 1,732,000, and that of Louisiana 1,642,000, while in the amount of savings deposits California ranked fourth among the states of the Union and Louisiana twenty-fourth, the exact figures being as follows: California .$281,228,437 28 Ijouisiana 21,356,289 90 Californio had 525.158 depositors, averaging $53 >OO, Louisiana 163,814, averaging *264.00. The total resources as represented In bank deposits were: California, *842.964,880.00, average per capita *486.70. Louisi lr a.- *158,612.502.00; average pei capita, *96 61 The following figures are taken from the report of the reports of the California comptroller of currency: San Frnn' s-o^—Total sivlngs deposits, *553,792.166.05: total individual deposits, *213.927,437 -; 7: average. *740.00. New Orleans -Total savings deposits, $16,856,783.49; total indlvioual deposits, $42,979,077 18: average JUOO.OO. Increase in resources of National banks year 1909-1910; San Francisco, $103.6.0,828.96; New Orleans, $2,370,226.74. In the face of such a Showing New Orleans and Louisiana do not appear to be In the same class with San Francisco and California, financially. And California is as much superior to Louisiana in every other respect as she is financially, just as San Frapcisco is immeasurably superior to New Orleans in all that goes to make a great and beautiful city. San Francisco is the ideal site for the Panama-Pacific International exposition in 1915. Let ecagress make no mistake

BURDEN TOO HEAVY FOR NEW ORLEANS

City Already Struggling Under an Indebtedness of $40,916,913.13. New Orleans is far from being a imit in favor of the proposed Gate tax to raise a fund of $6,300,000 in aid of the World’s Panama exposition. The New Orleans Taxpayers’ Protective association has adopted a strong resolution, which is being widely distributed in the form of a circular letter, advising its members to oppose the levy, principally on the ground that the city is already taxed and bonded to the limit of endurance and that the taxpayers are not able to bear the additional burden. The letter quotes the comptroller’s report of Dec. 31,. 1909, to prove that the present bonded debt of the city is $32;521,040, on which the annual interest amounts to $975,740. In addition to this the water and sewerage board is attempting to sell $7,000,000 of bonds, bearing interest at 4 per cent and the unpaid ordinances and unfinished contracts for paving amount to $343,168.33 and $852,709.80 respectively, bringing the total in debtedness of the city up to the enormous sum of $40,716,918.13. , To the above must be added more than $5,000,000, which must be paid by the city on state bonds now due; the courthouse commission carries a debt of $750,000, the dock board $3,000,000. and the levee board $3,4)00,000 Continuing, the letter says: "R*. member, also, that if the city of New Orleans succeeds in selling her $7,000,000 of bonds, the water and sewerage board will compel every property holder, to the number cf 66,000, to put in the sewerage and waterworks in their premises at a cost of not less than $250 per residence, thus making the enormous cam of $16,000,000. " "Where is all this money to come from ? “The taxpayers feet that the interest on the outstanding indebtedness is now over $1,400,000 and will &!>■ sorb all the revenue if the debt Is permitted to accumulate.**
