N. C. Has Highest
Birth Rate In Union
North Carolina Leads Entire United,
..States With Highest Birth Rate
and Has One of Lowest Death
Rates. v
Raleigh, Feb. 22. North Carolina
now leads the entire United States
with the highest birth rate in the
1 r i . j i - . i noi
union acccruing to statistics j.yr ,j.u ,
just compiled by the State Board of
Health. At the same time this State
has one of .the lowest death rates.
Reports during the past year show
a total 01 a,yoD Dirins in me omie
. a rate of 32.8 per thousand. .The
deaths totaled for the same period
33,228, a rate of 12.9 per thousand.
These figures do not include the
stillbirths, which amounted to 4,171!
for the year. '
During 1920 every six minutes a
new life was born into the world;
every fifteen minutes, another life
was snappfed off. That the births
are so far in excess, of the deaths
accounts for the, large increase in
the population of the State during
the last decade as shown by the last
census figures, for the State has had
little increase by reason of immigration.
A Comparison for the past three
years shows the following :1918 to
tal births 76,175 or rate of 30.8, and
total deaths 42411 or rate of 17.6;
1919 total births 69,791 or rate of 29.-.
3, and total deaths 30,114 or rate of
12.4. The verv hizh death, rate for
1918 was caused by the epidemic of
influenza, and this probably also ac
counts for the lessened rate of both
births and deaths during the follow
ing year of 1919. In 1920 the birth
rate" went forward considerably while
the d&th rate shows a difference of
only five per hundred thousand. ,
North Carolina has been exceeded
in birth rate heretofore only by Utah,

Cleanliness is next to godliness, but
without some outside help mouth
cleanliness is neXii to impossible.
Prophylactic treatment of the teeth
. is like golf it gives them exercise,
and it keeps them out in the open
air. .
Prophylactic work consists essen
tially of an orangewood stick with a
set of teeth at one end and a skilful
young woman at the other. This
simple device will prevent many of
our dental ills and bills. An orange
wood stick in time saves nine dollars
worth of dentist's services.
Gums and teeth should be brushed
today, and terminating six months
from date. For everv dav thereafter
the contractors will forfeit a large
sum of money to the trustees.

is thought. The heating plant will
cost approximately $7,500. Then the
