On the other hand, the most deadly of acute diseases is lockjaw, which is also one of the most horrible. Yet lockjaw is not necessar as many may believe. In fact, adays fatal in only 41 per cent considerably less than one-nalf. Among the more common ASeS, the most deadly. even in this most serious malady the mortality rate is only 17 per cent. These f'gures, we assume, are based upon the as.umption that no other com- plications are present. As a matter and ‘ily fatal, it is now- of cases, d ai Still, ot practical experience, a very great number | of deaths are due not merely to the acute disease which may be the preponderant factor, but to a combination of causes. CONFEDERATE CABINET While the Confederate government under President Jefferson Davis was exi:tence only a little more than four years, only one cabiret officer—Stephen R. Mallory, secretary of the navy—served throughout the whole period. During the same time there were three secretaries of state. Toombs, Hun ter and Benjamin; three secretaries of the treasury, Memminger, Trenholm and Reagin; six secretaries of war, Walker, Benjamin, Randolph, Smith, Seddon and two postmasters-general, Ellet and Reagan, and four attorneys-gen- eral, Benjamin, Bragg, Watts and Davis. Judah P. into the cabinet in 1861 as attorney-gen- eral, was secretary of war for a short time in 1862, and was made secretary of state later in the same year, serving as such to the end. John H. Reagan of Texas served } as postmaster-general from 1861 until 1865, when he became the Confederacy’s last secretary of the treasury. President Davis, who had been secre- tary of war of the United States from 1853 to 1857, appears to have had difficulties with his own secretaries of war, of whom. as noted above, he had six. t| seapcead gs Here Just 10 Years For | The} in}.

The situation is still very bad and it is not easy to | be optimistic even when we read that business is better. That raises what at first sight seems to be a flat contradiction. Business is improving. Net earnings are growing, larger di stockholders. Yet unemployment is still serious. How can it be explained? Perhaps a complete explanation is ‘ not vossible. Many observers argue that machines are displacing men and that we shall always have this | huge body of unemployed workers and their dependents to be supported | in some way. either by charity or by public relief.
