CAUSES INCREASED MORTALITY Last Three Days Saw Heaviest Death List Recorded by Health De- partment in Years. Deputy Health Officer Louis Levy reports that before noon yesterday morning forty-eight death certificates were filed in the office of the Board of Health and burial permits made out for ghe same. The excessive heat of the last three days was responsible for the heavy mortality. The records show that a ten-days-old baby died from excessive heat; that fourteen children under six months succumbed; five died at the Almshouse; ten de- cedents were over 70 years of age. This is the heaviest death list record- ed by the Health Department in many years. Owing to the excellent system of fumigation and the careful watch kept by the volunteer school inspecting physicians there are very few cases of contagious diseases in this city. This is attributed to the modern plumbing installed in the homes under the di- rection of the plumbing experts of the Health Department. The city Is In a healthy condition and the Health Department is working energetically to keep it so. Visitors to Chinatown have been assailed with the smell of carbolic acid and chloride of lime. These germ-killing disinfectants are being spread over Chinatown with a lavish hand and the whole Celestial quarter reeks with the odor. While the smell is disagreeable it is heailth- ful. —_————— Cameras, photographic supplies, print- | ing and developing at lowest prices.

GIFFORD IS PROMOTING INTEREST IN IRRIGATION National Secretary Travels to Cali- fornia in Connection With Com- ing Congress at El Paso. A. W. Gifford, secretagy of the Twelfth National Irrigation Congress, which meets in El Paso November 15 to 18, inclusive, is in the city to interest Californians in the gathering. Last year the congress met at Ogden, Utah, and was attended by Governors, { Senators, Congressmen and irrigators from all over the United States. This | year it is expected that more than {3000 delegates will be present Mr. Gifford has conferred with the | California Promotion Committee, which is taking up the matter of se- | curing attractive cartons of the vari- I'ous products of all sections of the State to be distributed at the national congress at El Paso. All fruits, pre- j served products and wines will be put up in handy pocket form and pre- sented to the delegates. It is belleved that by this means California will se- cure great recognition. Last year California made a most creditable showing at the irrigation congress, Governor Pardee and a large number of prominent Californians attended. This year’s congress will show a still greater interest in irrigation. R If you want the best in photographs go to Lents’s, 916 Market st.. Columbia bldg. * ———————— | Teamster Falls From Wagon.
