W 10 PREVENT D STOMACHS A'ID FOOD FERMENTATION By a Stomach Specialist. a specialist who has spent many in the study and treatment of jmach troubles, I have been forced to conclusion that most people who in of stomach trouble possess hs that are absolutely healthy normal. The real trouble, that ch causes all the pain and difficul- is excessive acid in the stomach, vated Dy food fermentation. Hy- ldity irritates the delicate lining he stomach and food fermentation es wind which distends the stom- abnormally, causing that full ed feeling. ' Thus both acid and mentation interfers with and retard of digestion. The stomac jisually healthy and normal, but irri d almost past endurance by these pign elements—acid and wind. In such cases—and they comprise over per cent. of all stomach difficulties— first and only step necessary is to tralize the acld and stop the fer- atation by taking in o lfitle warm pold water immediately after eating, one to two teaspoonfuls of bi- ited magnesia, which is doubtless best and only really effective ant- [d and food corrective known. The d will be neutralized and the fer- tation stopped almost instantly, your stomach will at once proceed digest the f0od in a healthy, normal nner.

Spring sickness comes in some de- 8ree to every man, woman and child in our climate. It is that run-down condition of the system that results from impure, impoverished, devitalized blood. It is marked by loss:of appetit and that tired feeling, and in’ many cases by some gorm of eruption. The best way to treat spring sick- ness is to take Hood's Sarsaparilla. This old reliable family medicine purifies, enriches and revitalizes the blood. Tt is an all-the-year-round alterative and tonic, and abso- lutely the best Spring medicine. Get your blood in good condition at once—mow. Delay may be dan- gerous. Ask your.druggist for- Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and insist on having it, for nothing else can take its place.

Washington, April 22.—The latest report on meortality in the ‘“registra- tion area” of the United States, relat- ing to the calendar year 1913, recently issued by the bureau of the census, department of commerce, contains some interesting and significant figures with reference to the principal causes of death in this country. More than one-half of all the deaths in the res- istration area—which in 1913 contain- ed about 65 per cent. of the total pop- ulation of the United States—were due to nine causes: Tuberculosis, heart disease, pneumonia, Bright's disease and nephritis, diarrhoea and enteritis, cancer, apoplexy, diphtheria and crou and typhoid fever. The first three of thése maladies alone were responsible for more than 30 ver cent. of the total mortality reported for that vear. The death rate from these nine causes combined in 1913 was 810.4 per 100,000 population. This is a_material decrease from the corresponding rate in_ 1900—937.4 per 100,000—when the census bureau made its first annual collection of mertality statistics. The number of deaths resulting from these cause however, formed a somewhat greater proportion of the total reported mortality in 1913 than in 1900—57 per cent. in the later vear as compared with 53 per cent. in the earlier. Tuberculosis. Tuberculosis in its various forms claimed 93,421 victims in = 1913, of which number 80,812 died from tuber~ culosis of the lungs (including acute miliary tuberculosis). With improved sanitation and with better understand- ing of the laws of health and the im- portance of puré air, however, the Wwhité plagus is rapidly becoming a less serious menace to héalth and happi- ness. In only nine years—irom 1904 to 1913--the mortality rate from tuber- culosis in all its forms fell from 200.7 to 147.6 per 100,000, the decline being continuous from year to year. Prior to 1804, the rate had fluctuated, start- ing at 201.9 in 1900. A satisfactory comparison of differ- ent sections of the country with re- spect to the prevalence of tuberculosis is impossible, since the only southern states embraced in the registration area in Maryland, Virginia and Ken- tucky, together with the North Caro- lina municlpalities which had 1,000 or more inhabitants in 1900, and a num- Dber of nofthern and western states are not included. In general, however, it may be said that the mortality due to this disease is somewhat higher among whites in the séuth than in the north, and is about three times as high among negroes as among whites. The far northern states of Maine, New Hamp- shire, Vermont, Michigan, - Wisconsin, Minnesota, Montana and Washington alleshow white mortality rates from tuberculosis which were decidedly lower than the average for the entire registration srea. Pénnsylvania's rate was also low. On the other hand, the rate in Utah—whose southern boun- dary lles in nearly the same latitude as that of Virginia—is away below that of any other stats, being only about one-third as high as the rate for the entire registration area. The mortal- ity rate among the white \population from _tuberculosis of the lungs throughout the entire registration area in 1913 was 115.7 per 100,000. The cor- responding rates for the states jus named are as follows: Utah 37, Wash- ington 70.6, Michigan 75.1, Montana 79.9, Wisconsin 83.4, Minnesota 84.6, Vermont 88,5, Maine 95.8, Pennsylvanta 97.3, New Hampehire 9.8, The death rates from tuberculosis of the lungs are abnormally high among the white population in both Califor- nia and Colorado—167.5 and 167.2 per 100,000 respectively—because of the fact that many consumptives from other parts of the country are attract- od to thess ‘states by reason of their :(xocepuonmy favorable ciimatic condi- ns. A comparison of the mortality among ‘whites from tuberculosis of the lungs in urban and rural districts brings out & very considerable difference in favor of the latter, the rates in 1913 being 128.5 for cities of 10,000 and over, tak- en as a whole, and 100.8 for places of less than 10,000, Heart ases. The deaths from heart diseases (or- ganic diseases of the heart and endo- Carditis) in the registration area in 1313 numbered 93,142 or 147.1 per 100,000. ‘While the mortality rate for tuberculosis has been declining from year to year, -the rate for heart dis- easés has been rising. Starting in 1900 at 123.1 per 100,000, as compared ‘with 201.9 for tuberculosis in all its forms, the death rate for organic heart diseases and endocarditis has fluctuat- ed, reaching its highest point in recent years, 151.4, in 1907, Pneumenia. Ppeumonia in its various forms was the cause of 83,778 deaths, or 132.4 per 100,000 in the registration area during 1913. The desth rate from this dis- ease, like that from tuberculosis, has shown a marked decline since 1900, when it was 108.5 per 100,000. Its fluctuations from year fo year, how- éver, have been much more violent. ‘The mortality rate for pneumonia in 1913 was about 70 per cent. greater among the colored population than among ‘whites. ‘The statés in which the death rates from pneumonia in all its forms exceeded the average for the ewre registration area are the _six New England_states and New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania_and Maryland. The rates in these 10 states—which constitute a continuous area, small in geographic extent, but containing a large proportion of the total popula- tion of this country—ranged in 1913 from 140 per 100.000 in Vermont to 171.4 per 100,000 in New York. The lowest rate for any state in’ the regis- tration ares was that of Washington, 23 _per 100,000. Tneumonia, according to the statis- tics, is much more prevalent in urban than in rural communities. The death rate from this cause for all registra- tion cities of 10,000 or over, taken to- gether, was 158.4 per 100,000, while for smaller places it was only 101.6. Bright's Disease and Neph The only remaining death rate high- er than 100 per 100,000 in 1913 was that for Bright's disease and “acute nephritis,” 102.9. The total number of deaths due to these causes in 1913 was 65,106, about nine-tenths of which were caused by Bright's disgase. the remainder being _charged o acute nephritis,-a related kidney disorder. The mortality from these causes in- éreased from 89 per 100.000 in 1300 to 102.4 in 1905, since which vear it has fluctuated somewhat ranging between 93.7 in 1908 and 103 in 1912 Diarrhoea and Enteritis. Diarrhoea. and enteritis caused 57,- 080 deaths, or 90.2 per 100,000 in the registration area In 1913. Of these deaths, more than four-fifths were of infants under 2 years of age, and over two-thirds were of infants under 1 year. The mortality from these causes fluctuated greatly between 1900 and 1913, but on the whole shoks a ma- terial decline, having dropped from 133.2 per 100,000 in the earlier vear to 90.2 in the later. Cancer. Nest In order of deadliness comes cancer, which filled nearly 50,000 graves in 1913. The exact number of deaths due to this dreaded malady was 46,925, of which about 40 per cent. resalted from cancers of the stomach snd liver. The mortality rate rose from 63 per 100,000 in 1900 to 789 in 1913, It is probable, how- ever, that at least a part of this in- crease was apparent rather than real, being duc to more accurate diagnoses and great care on the part of phy- sicians in making reports to the reg- istration cfficials. It is worthy ot note that the col- ored population, for which the death rates from most causes are much higher than from the whites, shows a decidedly low rate for cancer—57.3 per 160,000 for the entire registration area in 1913, as compared with $0 for the whites. Apoplexy. Apoplexy_was the cause of 47,220 deaths, or 746 per 100,000, in the reg- istration area in 1913. This rate in- creased gradually with occasional slight declines, from 67 per 100,000 in 1900 to 75.7 in 1912, but dropped slightly in 1913. Diphtheria and Croup. No epidemic disease produced a mortality rate as high as 20 per 100,- MEAT CAUSE OF KIDNEY TROUBLE Take a glass of “Salts if your Back hurts or Bladder bothers—Meat forms uric acid. If you must have your meat every day, eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts occasionally, says a noted author- ity who tells us that meat forms uric acid which almost paralyzes the kid- neys in their efforts to expel it from the blood. They become siuggish and weaken, then you suffer with a dull misery in the kidney regio-, shairp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the channels often get sore and irritated, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. To neutralize these irritating acids, to cleanse the kidneys and flueh off the body’s urinous waste, get four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy here; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com- bined with lithie, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in urine, so it no longer irri- tates, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive; eannot in- jure, and makes a delightful efferves- cent lithia-water drink. brought the grass sprouting out in vernal greenness on many of the banks. TAFTVILLE Delegates From Loom Fixers’ Union and Pinochle Club Attended Funeral of Frederick Smith—Notes and Per- sonals. There were a large number of rela- tives and friends in atendance at the funeral of Frederick Smith held from the home of George Pilling, Provi- dence street, Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Numbered in the attendance were delegations from the Loom Fix- ers’ union and the Taftville Pnionchle club. Rev. Arthur Varley, pastor of the Taftville Congregational church, officiated and Mrs. Frank Waters sang touchingly and _impfessively. The bearers were Robert Pilling, Richard Pilling, John Seddon, Alfred Lilli- bridge, Leon DeCelles'and Harold De- Celles. Many beautiful floral tributes covered the casket. Burial was in Maplewood cemetery where Rev. Mr. Varley read a committal service. Undertaker George G. Grant had charge of the funeral arrangements. Personals and oNtes. Richard Kyle was a visitor at Plain Hill Wednesday evening. Robert Wilson was a caller at Oc- cum Wednesday evening. Victor Davis is constructing a new 000 in 1913. The fata] cases of diph- theria and croup numbered 11,920, or 18.8 per 100,000, in that year, the rate having fallen from 43.3 in 1900. This decline of nearly 57 per cent. is rela- tively far greater than that shown by any other important cause of death. The mortality of the white population from diphtheria and croup is -about 75 per cent. greater, proportionately, than that of the colored. The death rate frcm these causes in cities of 10,000 end over is about 50 per cent. sreater than in smaller places. Typhoid Fever. Deaths from typhold fever also showed a very gratifying decline be- tween 1900 and 1913, decreasing from 35.9 per 100,000 in the earlied vear to 179 in the later, or by almost exact- 0 per cent. This decline was rel- atively greater than that for any other principal cause of death except diphtheria and croup. The total number of deaths due to typhoid fever in 1913 was 11,323. The mortality rate from this disease among the col- ored population is more than twice as great as for the whites. Although the death rate for most higher in urban than in munities, the typhoid rate 3 about 20 per cent. high- er in places of less than 10,000 than in cities of 10,800 and over, which fact hay reasonably be construed as a fur- ther indictment against the open wel, especially when equipped with the po- etic but insanitary ‘“moss-covered bucket.” The great progress which has been made in the handling of typhoid cases is evidenced by the marked decrease in the mortality from this disease. And of ocual potency perhaps has been the improvement in preventative methods — the betterment of water- supply and sewerage _ systems, the campaign against the fly, and other sanitary precautions. Tt any rate, Americans can congratulate them- selvE that in 13 years the death rate from this disease has been cut in two. In Spring Attire.
