BIRTHS FEWER IX VIENNA.
Excessive Taxation and High Rentals
Prevent the Stork's Visits.
Vienna. The steady declease no
ticeable in the birth rate of Vienna is
causing considerable apprehension
here, especially in German national
quarters. So marked haa it been of
late years, that, despite the increasing
population by Immigration from coun
try districts, the actual number of
births In the city is diminishing. Ac
cording to figures Just published by
the municipality, in 1900 there were
62,316 births in the city, and in 1910
only 42,336, or a decrease of nearly
20 per cent in ten years.
The decline Is due chiefly to the
smaller number of children in the
families of the original German pop
ulation, and Is not so marked, if at all
among the country immigrants, who
are largely of Slav nationality.
The cause is partly attributed to ex
cessive taxation, both municipal and
Imperial, and the consequent high
rentals'whlch are particularly felt by
the Germans of the middle and lower
classes. An these have a higher stan
dard of comfort than the Slavs they
are more inclined to limit the size of
their families according to the lodg
ings or flats they can afford.

Portland contractor and builder who i
has the contract for completing tho
George build ng, hereafter to be
known as the AVatts building on the
corner of Coe avenue and Main

Furnish project are constructing
flumes or lay'ng pipe lines for the
purpose of conducting water over
their places for irrigation Instead of

line and flume are preferable to the
open ditch, the water being easily
controlled and besides the loss by
evaporation and seepage are reduced
to a minimum. The more recent im
provements of this nature have been
put In by Mrs Charlotte Bill and C.
AA Connor on therr places north-east

ADVANCE IX HEALTH CONDITION
Dr. Calvin S. WH'.tc Sh'iiUs to O. A. C.
Students on Science of Health.
Corvallls, Ore. That deaths by tu
berculosis have been cut in half In
the past 25 years, and that tho next
25 would see the disease become as
rare as yellow fever, as a result of
the dissemination ot a proper knowl
edge of the prevention and cure, was
the statement of Dr. Calvin S. White,
secretary of the state board of health,
In a convocation address before the
students of the Oregon Agricultural
college.
"If there is any single word In the
English language which has been
overworked to such an extent that It
has become more tire-ome, It Is 'con
servation;' yet there has not been
nearly enough use of the word in con
nection with health " Mild Dr. White.
He spoke of the fact that very little
time or money has been spent in ed
ucating the public as to matters of
health.
"One-fifth of all tne Insane, one
third of all the feeble-minded, and
one-fourth of all the epileptic In the
state of Oregon are the result of Im
morality," he continued. The condi
tions existing now are entirely dif
ferent from those of 25 or 30 years
ago. Just as the Increase In rapidly
moving vehicles, such as electric cars
and automobiles, have Increased the
danger to life and limb, just so other
changes have Increased greatly the
pern to health and m'nd and body
the damnable problem plays that
make a travesty of virtue and a mock
ery of marriage have supplanted the
educational evening entertainments of
a generation ago. For disease we
nave our remedies, but for his sltua
tin there Is no remedy expect through
education."
After a strong talk advocating vac
cination, ana telling what the varl
ous vaccines and anatoxins have
done, the wiping out of yellow fever
rrom civilized countries by the de
struction of certain kinds of mos
quito, he said, "these things we can
