Pottsvilie. Pa.. Oct. 26.—There

found <iea«l Saturday on the highway
near that town, with his arms folded.
wa« murdered. The police have giveu
up the suicide theory, as it is unlikely
the man would have folded his own f
arms after shooting himself.
It has been found also that there are i
no powder marks on the body, as ther?'
would have been if the man had held
the weapon (.-lose in shooting himself.
Neither the clothes uor the bojy wasj

have found witnesses who heard live

to 1910 and Admis
sions to 8.5 Per Cent.
TWICE AS MANY
MEN AS WOMEN
!
Almshouse Is L*rg«ly Temporary Sh«l-;
ter Bloc, Permanent Inmates Form!
a Minority of Total Pauper Pop
ulation
t
Washington, D. C., CM. 26.—Accord
ing to a report Which is soon to bo is-.
sued by William J. Harris, director of j
the 'Bureau of the Census Department |
ofg Conimerce, 84,198 paupers were enu
merated in almshouses in the United
States on January 1, 1910, and 88,-
313 were admitted during the year. The
number of almshouse paupers in the
United States increased three per cent,
between 1904 and 1910, and the num
l>er 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

215 Market Street opp. Court House
was mUj-h higher among women than
among men. Of those discharged dur
ing the year nine-tent'hs had been in
mates less Oban one year, and of those
present at the beginning of the year
albout one-tfoinrd'had beenthere less than
one year. 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

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.
