IFRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 16; 1920 THE BEMIDJI DALY PIONEEk - { DEATHHAZARDIN o e Bureau of Labor Statistics Makes : Study at Fall River, Much Higher Than Among Those Foliowing Other Pursuits—Tu- berculosis Takes Many. ‘Washington, D. C.—From an indus- trial standpoint death at less than oMl age means a fixed and definite -do88; the worker has at each age a -certain expectancy of life, varylng ac- <ording to certain factors, but still ‘definitely calculable, which makes his death the loss of so much potential industrial activity. In bulletin No. 251 entitled “Pre- “veatable Death in the Cotton Manu- facturing Industry,” just issued by the ibureau of labor statistics of the Uni- ted States department of labor, is shown the real death hazard by age groups for wage earners, especlally for those engaged In the several Processes of cotton cloth manufacture and also what factors have been es- pecially active in cutting off the lives .of wage earners during age periods ‘which are normally of greatest produc- tive activity. In this report, which is supplement- ary to an earlier report upon the sub- Ject, the death hazard, by age, sex and Tace of the entire operative popula- 'tiom of Fall River, the leading cotton ‘manufacturing city in the United ‘States, is contrasted with the corre- -sponding hazard of the nonmill opera- tives of the city for the five years, 1808 to 1912, inclusive, and a study 48 made of the death rates of workers in the different rooms within the cot- ‘ton mill. Women Have Higher Death Rate. By a comparison of death rates by , Sex of the whole Fall River popula- tom, aged 15 to 44, it is shown that females have appreciably the higher ‘death hazard. From tuberculosis their death rate exceeds that of the males dy 12 per cent, from nontuberculosis causes by 5 per cent and from all «causes combined by 8 per cent. Yet while this is true of the population a8 a whole, it is untrue of that por- tion of it (61 per cent) which does mot work in the cotton mills, for :among these three-fifths the male death rate exceeds the female by 14 per cent. The total death hazard of the na- tive born exceeds that of the foreign born by 9 per cent, though the native the highest death rates among the different racial groups. In Fall River married females be- tween the ages of 15 and 44 are much the males the single are almost invar- iably far more liable to dle early than are the married of the same age. Hazard Greater in Mills. Fall River cotton operatives between the ages of 15 and 44 are about one- half (46 per cent) more liable to die, from all causes combined, than are! nonmill operatives of the same age,’ their hazard from tuberculosis being ' greater than the hazard of all other fact which is important because the spinning room females are a youthful group, 70 per cent being under 25. Within industrial groups tubercu- dosis is by far the commonest single cause of death, the tuberculous deaths being 45 per cent of the total deaths, ‘both of male and of female operatives aged 15 to 44. Follow a Coln Flip. Hood River, Ore.—The toss of a coin is directing Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Northrupp, who left Chehalis, Wash., 1ast fall on a motor tour of the coun- try. They tossed a 50-cent plece to decide between a visit to Hood River or to Yakima, Wash. Hood River rep- resented by tails, won, and the couple came here and spent the harvest sea- son picking apples. “SHall we go north or south?” Mr. Northrupp asked his wife when their work here was fin- | ished.

Not one that cures some particular cough, but coughs in general, It must be a cough remedy that can be relied upon for all the different coughs that are so prevalent. While the causes of all coughs are primarily the same, yet the condition of the patient is what makes the difference in the nature of the cough itself. Coughs of healthy persons are easier to cure than the coughs of invalids. The powerful convulsive cough of a large man is harder to cure Smn the cough of a baby. If you get a remedy that will cure a large man’s cough and yet not be too powerful for the baby, you have a good cough remedy. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is just this kind of remedy. It is good for any member of the family. It relieves coughs of all kinds. It is the product of much - thought and study to produce an ideal cough remedy.
