Causes of Death. Statistics regarding the causes of -death for the registration area of the United tSates in 1911 are presented in a bulletin persently to be issued by Director Durand. It was prepared under the direction of Dr. Cressy L. Wilbur, chief statistician. There were 12,541 deaths from ‘typhoid fever during 1911. A-slight 2 .deerease from the number the pre- ceeding years. Measles caused 5,922 deaths during the same period, which is equivalent to the death rate of 10 per 100,000 population. Kentucky had the high- est death rate while Minnesota was among the lowest. Scarlet fever with 5,242 deaths was less fatal than dur- ing the years 1908 to 1910. The deaths caused from whooping cough during 1911 were 6,682. To some ex- tent a children’s disease but with a wider range of age incidence than measles, scarlet fever or whooping cough, dyptheria caused nearly twice a@s many deaths as any of the other The rate of 18.9 per 100,000, the lowest since the begin- ning of the series of annual reports in 1900. The rate for 1900 was 43.3 -and has fallen steadily with only slight interruptions. The total number of deaths from all forms of tuberculosis in the regis- tration area during 1911 was 94,205, the death rate being 158.9 per 100,- 000-—slightly lower than the rates three diseases. for the preceding years, 160.3 and; 160.8 for 1910 and 1909, respective- ly. The rates for the past three years are considerably lower than the an- nual averages for the quingennial periods 1901 to 1905, 192.6; “and 1906 to 1910, 168.7. . /Fhere would appear to be a -marked reduction in the death rate from this disease, -al- though the rate for the past three years has remained practically un- changed. Cancer, which term includes malig- nant neoplasms of all- kinds, caused 44,024 deaths in the régistration area in 1911. The death rate, 74.3 -per 100,000, was slightly lower than that for 1910, 76.2, but higher than that for any earlier year for which records are available. Organic diseases of the heart caus- ed more deaths, 83,525, than any other disease or group of diseases | shown in the Abridged International " List, although the number of deaths from tuberculosis of all forms, 94,- 205, was considerably greater. The death rate for 1911, 140.9, was slight- 1y lower than that for ‘the preceding year, 141.5, but the rate for-each of these years was much higher _than (Copsright.) rates for the quinquennial periods 1901 to 1905, 124.2; and 1906 to 1910, 133.2. The total number of deaths from pneumonia of all forms in the regis- tration area in 1911 was 79,233, the death rate per 100,000 population being 133.7. The death rate of the white population, 128.4, was about one-half that of the colored, 252.2. In 1911 there were, in the registra- tion area, 45,868 deaths from diar- rhea and enteritis of infants under two years of age and 8,108 deaths of persons above this age limit. The death rate from diarrhea and enteri- tis (under two years) was 77.4 per 100,000 population of all ages, a rate nearly one-fourth lower than that for the preceding year,:100.8, and lowey than that shown for any previous year since the annual moxltality rei ports were institutéd. The total number of deaths from suicide in the registration area for 1911 was 9,622, an increase of 1,032 over the preceding year. The death, rate, however, increased only from 16 to 16.2 per 100,000 and was lower than that for 1909, 16.5; or 1908, 17.8. There is a tendency to appar- ent increase in the death rate from ,suicide. g Of the total number of violent deaths in the regitration area in 1911 classified in this gorup, 54,028, more ,‘than nine-tenths, 50,121, were of an accidental or undefined character, the remainder being due to homicide. The death rate from accidental and unspecified violence was 84.6 per 100,000 population, which is slightly higher than the rate for the preced- ing year, 84.3; but lower than the averages for the consecuti\}e‘ periods 1901 to 1905, 84.9; and 1906 to 1910, 86. Homicide was reported as the cause of 3,907 deaths in 1911, the rate being 6.6 per 100,000 poulation.

Merchandising When a manufacturer perfects some new articles of merit, the first ques- tion that comes up.is how to market it; how to create a demand for it. The usual answer is to place his article in the leading stores and then to co-operate with the retailer in an- nouncing through the newspapers its chief points of excellence. The newspaper is chosen because it is the most potent medium for spread- ing information, the surest way of |' reaching the greatest number of | people in the quickest space of time, It is not surprising that so much of our present day information, especially that which benefits us the most, comes from the habit of reading newspaper sdvertisements. ; A little careful study each day gives us a practical working knowledge of every worth-while store and most of the leading and dependable lines of . merchandise in the world. . g Mothers who have here. offer ready to put on at thought that they must make the girls’ dresses are now buying them It would be impossible to make them better than those we 65¢c to $3.50 Each We pay particular at- tention to see that our | garments for-children are made to resist the strenu- ous wear they are sure to receive.

THE TARGET, BY BOUCHER - S Copy.right, 1913, by The Associated Newspaper Schoo], Inc. How prettily Boucher has express- ed his thought in this picture! It might almost serve as a valentine for some charming lady. = Certainly some one’s heart has been pierced—witness the target. Was it the artist’s, or was he designing this touching idea for another? 'The work of Boucher is often criti- cized for its shallowness. This is un- fair, because his work is a reflection of his time, and is of the sort that the time, demanded. The life of the French Louis XV., in which Boucher lived and for which the greater part of his work was done, was hardly the place to look for seriousness. One round court of of gaiety followed another. Louis tried to draw all the nobles from their country houses to his court in order that the life of the court might seem more brilliant.. These nobles, living at court, took but little inter- est in the happenings at home or in the laborers from whose work the revenue of these lands were derived. About all they cared for was the amounts which their overseers were able to wring from the peasantry, and this the nobles squandered in gay dis- sipation. A spirit of unreality pervaded the court life. - The artist painting the This is just the sort of thing the likeness of a nobleman with large es- tates would depict him as a shepherd piping to a gymph.' Love-making came to be considered the chief end of shepherds in the popular concep- tion of these couriers. No lady of fashion would think of having her portrait painted unless she appeared as Flora, or Diana, or as Venus at- tended by Cupid. ‘Watteau of the previous generation of artists had led the way; now Fragonard and Bouch- er followed his leading. disolute court of Louis XV. desired. And it ust be admitted that these rouged and painted beauties, these powdered and bewigged shepherds and shepherdesses, do not fail to make a superb effect when seen in the exquisite settings which the lux- urious furnishings of that time gave them. And with all their lack of in- tellectual depth, it must not be thought that their execution was faulty. It was excellent; good in color, good in composition, good in drawing. In this picture we find a further development of the cherub idea, or rather another development, which goes back to the Greeks. For these are cupids, rather than cherubs. 'In Byzantine art the cherubs are found merely as heads surrounded by wings. aLter in the art of Italy we find the child’s body added. In the Flemish art of Rubens and his school we find the cherub idea almost obliterated by the child idea. -Here Boucher has gone ‘to the Greek god of love, Eros, and the tiny figures that he and the other painters of this period used in their pictures are little loves, quite removed from the angel idea. Every day a different human inter- est story will appear in the Pioneer. You can get a beautiful intaglio -re- production of the above picture, with five others, equally attractive, 7x9% inches in size, with this week’s “Men- tor.” In “The Mentor” a well known authority covers the subject of the pictures and stories of the week. Readers of the Pioneer and “The Men- tor” will know art, literature, his- tory, science, and travel, and own ex- quisite pictures. On sale at Aber- crombie’s book store. Price ten cents. - |
