OCTOBER 26. 1914/ HUMMELSTOWN Donations of Clothing and Toys for i European War Sufferers Special Correspondence Hummelstown; Oct. 26. —The La-j dies'-Aid Society if Ziou Lutheran I church will hold a masquerade social j ; at the home of Mrs. David Cassel on ' Thursday evening. The meeting of the Paltner-MeCor ! Mick League in Ruff's hall tomorrow; evening at S o'clock will likely bfe j largely attended. An address will be t made by James K. Jackson, of Harris burg. Arrangements for the members j of the club to attend the Democratic j maer of anntial admissions to almshouses increased 5.5 per cent., while the total ■population of the country iifrreased 12.4 per cent during the same period. The ratio of almshouse paupers to population has steadily declined at ev er v census since 1880, the earliest date t'or whk'h comparable figures'are avail able. The census r&port, being confined to a study of any other insti tutions or recipients of outdoor relief. Accordingly, the number of paupers re ported is not a measure of the extent of poverty in si community, because it de fends on the adequacy of the supply of almshouses or the prevailing policy in regard to outdoor relief, on climatic conditions, and on the existence or num ■ber of special institutions for Children and for physical and mental defectives, Age of Paupers About one-third of the paupers enum erated on January 1, 1910, were under 55 years of age; about one-Ohird, be tween 55 and 69 years, and about one- > third, 70 years of and over. The J ratio of. almshouse paupers to popula-j tion increases decidedly with advancing age. awnit 1 person in 60 above SO ] years of age being an inmate of an alms- j house. The proportion of almshouse raupers in the younger ago groups, in j fact in all age groups under 50 years, declined from census to census, indicat-1 iug that young persons become in j mates of almshouses in fewer cases now | than formerly. In 1880 more than half i of the paupers wore under 50 years of age: in 1910 only about one fourth. Of the total number of paupers enum erated in almshouses on January 1, j 1910, there were 57,049 males and 27,- i 149 females, and of those admitted during that year 67.195 were males ■ i and 21.11S females. The ratio of pall j pera per 100,000 population of She; j same sex Was 120.3 for males and j : tiO.S' fur female*, among the inmates j \ on a g:\en date. The ratio of males per 100 females among almshouse paupers increased j steadily from 1880 when it was 116.1 , to 191<) when it was 210. Thus the males outnumber the females 2 to 1 in j almshouses and the tendency is toward j an increasing preponderance of males. This probablv is due largely to the de velopment of special institutions for j the eare of indigent women. Single pe-sons are relatively more j numerous among adult almshouse ;au- j pers than in the general adult popula- j tion. Immigrant Paupers | The foreign born in 1910 formed! j 16.3 'per cent, of the total white popu- I la'tioti of the United States, 'but they | ' formeil -12.6 per cent, of tfoe paupers' I enumerated in almshouses on January ; j 1, 1910..and 41 per cent, of those ad ! mitted during the _\*ear 1910. The ratio j ! of almshouse paupers per 100,000 pop-j i illation of the nativity was albout i ' four times as great among the foreign! 1 born as among the native whites. This; I is due in part to the fact that there are few *'hildren among the foreign born: also to the grcnter proportion of; males among them. When allowance isj made, however, for these factors, the] ! ratio Still remains (higher for the 1m ! migrants, this fact doubtless being a j I Reflection of the generally lower eco-j nomic. level occupied by them as com-1 I pared with the natives. Among the immigrants, the Irish, i show a much higher ratio of almshouse | j pauperism (1,084.5 per 100,000 na-! j tive of Ireland) than those of any | I other nationalify. the Swiss being next j 1 ratio of 410.9. The natives of j the countries from whii (h most of the j recent immigrants come have fby far the lowest ratios of almshouse pauperism, the ratio being 75.4 for Austria4lun garv, 43.7 for Russia, and 31.8 for j Italy. The higher ratios of almshouse pauperism for the Datives of countries j I from which the tide of immigration was ! at its height some de.-ades ago are due j ! in large part to the fact they com-, ; prise at the present time a large propor- j | tion of old persons. Pauperism Among Negroes | The ratio of pauperism among the ne groes is about the same as that among the native whites, when the country a»j ! a whole is considered. Of the men in almshouses whose oc-i I cupation prior to admission was re-1 > ported, the largest number had been on-1 | skilled laborers: considerable numbers, ] i however, ' belonged to skilled trades, such as carpenters and joiners and I painters, glaziers and varnishes. Motft j of the women in almshouses for whom : a prior occupation was reported had ! been domestic servants. At tfhe time of j enumeration, however, a large propor ! tion, about two-fifths of the almshouse paupers, were reported as entirely in capacitated. and nearly two-thirds of I the paupers enumerated on January | 1. 1910. and more than one-third of j those admitted during the year, were ,•, Ihysi.'ally or mentally defective. The ; number of mentally defective —tha't is, of the insane and of feeble-minded in 1 almshouses, is shown to be declining, the reason being that special institu tions are being provided for these j classes. Almshouse a Temporary Shelter Three-fourths of the 59,120 persons 4i so barged from almshouses during j 1910 were discharged to be self-sup | porting, and about one-fourth were i turned over to relatives or friends. The 1 proportion discharged in the latter way PBBBHBIn *•< Aim »«•■•# film Art Laitw, Bat aaalltt** Art Iriui Mp To-morrow Wo Prosont Another of the Remarkable Sales That Have Established New Records in Value-Giving Read this advertisement carefully.

The almshouse is thus large ly a temporary shelter rather than a permanent abode of the poor, the per manent inmates who are there to stay as long as they live forming a minority of tihe total almshouse population.» A total of 17,486 died in almshouses in tlhe United States during 1910, the death rate being 207.7 per 1.000 pau pers enumerated on January 1, 1910. The death rate for the registration area of the United States for 1910 was 15 per 1,000. The greatest single cause of de>ath amoi.g paupers was tuberculosis of the lungs, which accounted for near ly one-fifth of the deaths during the year.

ADMINISTERING LAWS Little Talkß on Health and Hygiene by Samuel G. Dixon, M. D.,. T.T. D., Commissioner of Health —————————^ Those who are every ready to cry out that thoir personal liberty is be ing attacked, when the welfare of their neighbors demands some restriction of their actions, are, as a rule, among the first to denounce a similar desire for freedom on the part of others. (Modern methods of administering the health laws of the Btate and munici palities render strict quarantine neees snry for certain communicable and in fectious diseases, and in the case of children this is often followed by ex clusion from school for an additional period of time. It would seem obvious to any un prejudiced observer that to require this for the protection of the innocent and unprotected fellow citi/.en is liot atone just from the standpoint of man-made law, but the higher mandates of divine law, as well. Strange as it may seem, there are many worthy people who would permit their selfish interests to blind them to these duties. Part of this is, no doubt, due to their ignorance of fne dangers which may result from carelessness. Hundreds of deaths annually from measles, for instanle, might be avoid ed if parents would not Took uposi it as a more or less trilling complaint inci dental lo childhood from which tbeij own si other people's children must inevitably suffer. The child with a sore throat who is permitted to go without medical attention and attend school may prove the source of an opi j demic of diphtheria which will cost lives and heartbreak. No matter how eflicient the adminis ! (ration of the [>ublie health laws by j the authorities, unless the public is edu j cated to appreciate the necessity ami i will co-operate with them by living ' up o the spirit of the law, it will be | impossible to triumph over disease. All thinking men, unblinded hv pa | trlotism, must deplore the conflict in which so large a portion of the civilized world is now engaged. The same spirit which prevents the individual from an swering in the affirmative the question, I "Am I my brother's keeper" when I his selfish desire is to be weighed j against the welfare of his fellows, has j apparently taken possession of Chris | tiau nations. If we do our duty to others, it will i redound to the protection and well being of ourselves. { BLACK HAND WORKER SHOT Pawlo Giliberto Believed Slain by In tended Victims Johnstown, Pa., Oct. 26. —With let : ters in his pockets said absolutely to I convict him of Black Hand wurk, the j body of Pawlo Giliberto was found on ! an old path near the city limits yes ; tar day morning.
