HEART DISEASE CAUSES MOST
DEATHS—MAY BE
PREVENTED
NEW Y'ORK May 9—Organic heart
disease was the cause of more deaths
among the industrial policy holders
of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. j
last year than any other one cause.
The death rate for organic, diseases
of the heart was 128.5 per 100,000 as
compared with 110.2 for tuberculosis
the second highest disease on the list.
For several years past heart disease
has maintained its place as the prin
cipal cause of death, a position for
merly held by tuberculosis. Last year
this one company paid out in death
claims $7,691,000 for deaths due to

organic heart troubles, or more than
one-eighth of its total death claim
payments.
Contrary to the general belief it is
recognized by the medical profession
and by public health workers that a
large proportion of the deaths from
heart disease is preventable and that
thousands of these deaths occur an
nually which are at least postponable.
Teeth Ditvases Affect Heart
Among the suggested measures for
lowering mortality from cardiac dis
ease is better care of the teeth. Quite
recently the dental society of one of
the states in an inquiry in which it
was assisted by a life insurance com
pany, ascertained that in 117 cases of
death from mitral regurgitation, den
tal or oral infection was, a recognized
causative factor in eleven or 9.3 per
cent. These eleven deaths were thus
in the preventable class and, presum
ably would not have occurred had
there been proper care of the teeth.
Other focal infections, notably ton
silitis, are now recognized causes of
cardiac disease . The increasing prac
tice of early removal* of the tonsils
should operate to reduce the heart di
sease death rate. A number of hospi
tal observations have shown a lessen
ed incidence of acute rheumatic fever
a possible consequence of surgical re
lief for infected tonsils. Since acute
rheumatic fever is so often a cause of
damaged mitral valves, it is probable
that there are few damaged hearts to
day as a result of the attention given
to diseased tonsils during the past two
decades.
Examinations Urged
The value of periodical medical ex
aminations in bringing about early
diagnosis and relief of heart impair
ments is becoming recognized to a
greater extent each year. As a result
of such early diagnosis persons with
heart trouble have the benefit of the
knowledge of its existence and are
thus enabled to regulate, in some de
gree at least, such important items as
diet .exercise and various habits of
life which are important factors in
prolonging the lives (or hastening the
deaths) of cardiacs.
It has been estimated that there are
over 2, 000,000 men, women and chil
B1SHOP TAKES RAP AT
SUPERCILIOUS PURITAN
LONDON, May 10—Puritans who
elevate supercilious noses at innocent
ly “worldly” amusements ,are “dan
gerous people,” according to the Bish
op of Lichfield.
“Christian people are apt to tread
with heavy feet in dealing with the
subject of recreation. A superior atti
tude,” he said, “was to be depreciat
ed.’ ’
“A certain class of Puritans would
class all indoor amusements such as
dancing, the drama, picture palaces
and broadcasting, as worldly and hold
that a Christian has no business hav
ing anything to do with them. You can
not define the ‘world’ as easily as that.
I have known actresses and actors,
who were most uworldly people, and
I have known dull, pietistic people,
who never went within a mile of a
theatre but whose whole life was cor
roded with the world, principally be
cause they have forgotten our Lord’s
warnings against covetousness.”

COLLEGE MINERAL
COLLECTION GROWS
_
Many interesting mineral specimens
i from various points in Alaska are
j being received regularly by the Agri
j cultural College and School of Mines,
| at Fairbanks. Samples of ruby sil
jver from the new find made by Moose
■Johnson & Wertz, 16 miles from Mile
1274, of* the Alaska railroad, have
been sent in by Mr. Johnson. These
are of unusual interest as they are
[ the first sample of ruby silver re
ported in Alaska. It is a valuable
mineral and one which the prospec
! tor should be familiar with.
J. P. Ibach, of Hoonah, recently
j sent in a sample for determination,
! which proved to be “Mountain Lea
! ther,” an unusual variety of asbes
| tos, which resembles an old piece of
moose hide more than it does a min
eral. He reports a large vein of
this mineral. As far as is known de
posits of this form of asbestos have
never before been found that were
of sufficient size to warrant mining.
Joe Ulmer, who has been in the
! Kobuk district conducting a prelimi
nary survey for the Alaska Road
commission presented the college with
[samples of gold and copper ore from
the Kobuk also specimens of green
jade.
Senator Frank A. Aldrich has prom-,
ised to send the college a sample
of white topaz from Windham bay
in southeastern Alaska.
Tony Goessman has given the col
lege some choice quartz specimens
from his property on Cleary creek,
gem crystals from a mine in Cali
fornia and copper ore from Bizbee,
Arizona.
