DISEASE AND DEATH IN DECEMBER IN INDIANA.

The regular monthly bulletin of the State Board of- Health in regard to disease and death says: Tonsilitis was reported as the most prevalent disease in. December. Bronchitis was second and rheumatism third. Pneumonia held fifth place. Smallpox has almost passed out of existence, a few cases appearing every month. Tuberculosis held its own splendidly. It can be depended upon to produce on an average of one death every two hours. Hydrophobia caused one death in Sullivan county. Infantile paralysis (polic myelitis) caused 4 deaths: Dekalb county, 1; Fountain, 1-; Noble. I; St. Joseph, 1. There is every reason to fear the appearance of this disease in the coming summer months. Diphtheria was less than in the same month last year. The deaths numbered 3017, rate 12.6. The same month last year 2831, rate 12.2. Tuberculosis killed 350. typhoid fever 61, diphtheria 46, scarlet fever 10. measles 10, whooping cough 17, pneumonia 413. influenza 63, puerperal fever 10. cancer 157, violence 217. Cancer is now about twice as destructive as typhoid fever. It is certainly on the increase and typhoid decreasing. The death rate was 14.7 and the country death rate 11.1. Indianapolis death rate, 14.7: Evansville 11.8; Ft. Wayne, 13.1; Terre Haute. 15.4; I South Bend, 17.9. I November births: Total births i 4,233. Males 2108, females 2011; stillbirths 114. White males 2062; white females 1988; colored males 46; colored females 23. White stillbirths 3. State rate 18.3. .Excess of birth rate over death rate 6.8. Highest birth rate, Warren, 42.8. Lowest birth rate, Ohio, 5.7.

It soothes and relieves the irritation in the throat arjd loosens up the cold. I have always found it-a reliable bough cure.” —A. F. Long.

Woman’s World

Cupid Wins Victory In Suffragette Camp.

by American Press Association. MISS INEZ Mir.HOLLAND AND HEn FIANCE MIL DATES. ■

The croakers who fear that the suffragette will lose her matrimonial chance may set their fears atlrest, for the engagement is announced of the most obstre[serous of suffragettes, Miss Inez Miihoiland. who j>ertai>s has done more spectacular and strenuous work in the —votes for women ” cause than any other American woman. The lucky man with sufficient courage to marry this socialistic suffragette is Lindon Bates. Jr., of New York, exassemblymau, author and civil engineer and a recent convert to the “cause.” Victory through defeat will be Mr. Bates’ slogans f<>r he does not promise to aid the girl of his heart in all of her activities, but he promises not to interfere in them. A dangerous trip taken by Mr. Bates through Siberia and his book recounting the experience, “The Russian Road to China.” published last winter, completed Miss Milholland's interest in the author. The Russian road led directly to her heart. A resume of Miss Miihoiland”s short career will show just what her husband will be up-against. “As a child.' said her mother, "Inez was constantly bringing home the most forlorn and maimed specimens of femininity.” And at Vassar later her socialistic tendencies quite shocked the conservative faculty, for early in her college career she had herself made probation officer. The chapel having been refused the fair Inez as a gathering place for a suffragette meeting, nothing daunted, with sixteen of her sworn allies, a meeting took place at midnight in a nearby graveyard, where they listened to burning words from President Inez. After that suffrage became a tolerated if not an approved subject at Vassar. Miss Miihoiland has the honor of being the girl who “broke up the big Taft campaign parade.” As the procession moved down Fifth avenue, the band playing “There'll Be a Hot Time,” a voice from a window of one of the houses called, “Give us votes for womeii!” Miss Miihoiland, then a memlier of the Political Equality league, was shouting these words to the crowd through a megaphone. Some of the men broke and ran into the house, and after fifteen minutes' convincing talk Inez had converted them to the cause. It was a great victory from the suffragist viewpoint. Several arrests, two in London and one during the shirtmakers’ strike in New York last winter, are added to Miss Milbol laud's victories, fur the oftener a suffragette can suffer for the cause the greater the glory.

She made four militant suffragette speeches In Hyde park, London, when Only fifteen years old. She interviewed Premier Asquith last summer, when she persuaded him to be more openly friendly to the suffragettes. Her conversion of Mr. Bates took place a year ago at a suffragette tea, and now.it is said that the wedding bells will soon be heard. The Vogue of Ribbon Work.
