Maternity Death Rate

The lives of 6,000 mothers could
be saved every year by prompt and
proper medical care, Dr. Phillip R.
Williams, of Philadelphia, said re
cently at the first American Con
gress of Obstetrics and Gynacol-
ogy.
The maternal death rate in the
United States is lower than ever be
fore in history, but it is still “dis
gracefully high” in view of the pres

Williams said.

You Can Whip Our
First Household Lights
The first electric light for house
hold use was probably used by Prof.
Moses Gerrish Farmer at 11 Pearl
street, Salem, Mass. In 1859 he ar
ranged a series of lamps in his
parlor, the current for which was
supplied by a wet cell battery.
Electricity used successfully to light
a residence was generated by an
independent plant installed in the
home of J. Hood Wright at Fort
Washington, N. Y., before Decem
ber of 1881.

My Symphony
To live content with small means:
to seek elegance rather than luxury;
and refinement rather than fashion;
to be worthy, not respectable; and
wealthy, not rich; to study hard;
think quietly, talk frankly; to listen
to stars and birds, to babes and
sages, with open heart; to bear all
cheerfully, do all bravely, await
occasion, hurry never; in a word,
to let the spiritual, unbidden and
inconscious, grow up through the
common. This is to be my sym
phony.—William Henry Channing.
Indian Milkshake
The milkshake had its origin with
the American Indian, Dr. Forrest
E. Clements, anthropologist profes
sor at the University of Oklahoma
who has made a study of Indian
culture, has disclosed. The Indian
not only contributed chocolate to the
white man, but he made a milk
chocolate drink flavored with vanil
la, a plant product native to Mex
ico, Dr. Clements said. "We owe
many vitamins in our diet to the
Indian,” said the professor.
Whites Work for Indians
The island of Annette, of which
Metlakatla is the principal town is
believed to be the only territory in
the United States where white men
work for Indians. The island is oc
cupied by Indians with the exception
of 11 white persons employed by
them. The latter include a police
man, a doctor, a half dozen teach
ers, a cannery superintendent and
two ministers.
