BIRTHS AND DEATHS
CAUSES THAT AFFECT VITAL
STATISTICS
Advancement in Civilization and Pros
perity One cf the Chief Reasons for
the Decline in the Birth Rate Noted
in So Many Countries
Advancement in civilization and
I prosperity appear to affect the vital
statistics of all nations alike In
modern times France has shown the
most marked decrease in the ratio of
births to deaths From 1815 the last
year of the Napoleonic warSj to 1830
the proportional excess of births over
deaths for every 10000 inhabitants
was 01 Between 1831 and 1850 it
dropped to 41 In the following twen
ty years there was a further decrease
the excess of births numbering only
25 In the decade ending 1900 the ex
cess was reduced to 0 and in the lat
ter year the proportionate excess of
births over deaths in every 10000 in
habitants of the republic was only 3
France entered the nineteenth century
with a population of 20000000 she
closed it with 38000000 But Great
Britain had meantime started with 12
000 000 and ended with 41000000 and
the population of Germany had grown
from 15000000 to- 50000000
During the last forty or fifty years
the people of each of these nations
have enjoyed more luxurious living
than they did before While the death
rate in England throng the introduc
tion of improved sanitation has been
steadily declining since 1801 the vital
statistics of the country show a very
markel decline in the birth rote Now
the minister of public instruction and
medical affairs finds that the vital sta
tistics of Prussia which comprises
three fifths of the population of Ger
many show a steady decrease in the
birth rate there also since 1851 In
the latter year it was 409 now it is
only 355 In the city of Berlin the
birth rate has fallen from 45 in 1SG1
to 2GG this year The latter is only
41 above the rate in France which is
the lowest in the world
The question of race suicide thus
seems to be one that is disturbing all
of the more prosperous of modern na
tions as it did Rome during the Au
gustan age when legislation had to
he enacted in order to encourage the
growth of population France has
been seriously discussing various
methods of arresting the decline of
the birth rate An extra parliamentary
commission has been appointed to
seek means of increasing the number
of births and diminishing mortality
and government bonuses for large
families and heavy taxes on bachelors
and childless couples have been sug
gested It is expected that the Ger
man emperor will take cognizance of
the conditions existing in his realm
and suggest drastic mean1 of arrest
irg there the race suicide which Presi
dent Roosevelt so vigorously attacked
in this country San Francisco Chron

NOISE AS A CURE
Psrhaps the Chinese Know More
About Medicine Than Ve Do
The Chinese doctor sets up a terri
ble racket when called to treat the
sick This is supposed to drive evil
spirits away and it unquestionably
acts well in a great many cases
Civilization demands rest and quiet
all noise is barred from the sick
room The Chinese have demonstrat
ed unkuowinjVy a great psychologi
cal or psychopathological fact
A patient of mine had received the
last rites of the church the pulse had
ceased at the wrist and he had sunk
into that coma which precedes deaths
Someone in the next house struck up
the Anvil Chorus from II Trova
tore I was very much annoyed and
distressed and tried to stop it
Suddenly the pulsation at the wrist
began again the patient gradually
opened his eyes motioned to his sis
ter She bent low and he whispered
in her ear Te dum te dea that is
my favorite tune says he We
roused him fed him and to day ten
years after the event he weighs 240
pounds
The therapeutics of vibration or
noise is yet to be written So I have
discovered that anything that can
arouse the subconscious subliminal
self will cure my -patient wen all
drugs fail and noise is a very cheap
agent Medical Brief
Origin of Spinster
Spinster said the philologist is
the term that the law applies to the
woman who is unmarried The origin
of the word dates bade to the days
when spinning was not done by ma
cniaery but by hand At that time
every girl learned to spin as a matter
of course the same as she now learns
to spell She was obliged to spin a
couple of hours every day and what
she produced belonged to her Thus
every girl by the time she came to
get married owned a great quantity
of linen of her own make that she
brought as a kind of dower to her
husband Every girls leisure up al
most to her wedding day was devoted
to the spinning of linen for use in the
household of her spouse Therefore
every unmarried girl was called a
spinster
