'White Plague Death | Rate in Rapid Drop, | Says Health Leader | "In the city of Chicago deaths from | tuberculosis have declined from 173.9 | per 100,000 in 1900 to 83.0 in 1926. This | decline is noted both in the rates from | pulmonary tuberculosis (consumption) | and from other forms of the disease," states Dr. Herman N. Bundesen, Chi- | cago commissioner of health, in his | latest bulletin. "There are more deaths among males than among females from tuber- culosis. In every 100,000 men, eighty die from consumption each year. In every 100,000 women only sixty-six die from this disease. "Death rates from tuberculosis are from two and a half to three times as high for the negro as for the white population. The increase in the tuber- culosis death rate in the general popu- lation is due to the increase in the death rate among negroes. For chil- dren under 11 years of age the negro death rate in the years 1924, 1925 and 1926 has been from 10 to 20 times as high as for the white children of the same ages," continues the Commis- sioner, | "Among persons under 11 years of age, the mortality from tuberculosis is | tremendous among negroes. Nearly 41 | per cent of the deaths in this age group in 1926 were deaths of negro children, although only three percent of the children under 11 years of age are negroes. "The marked declines in the tuber- culosis mortality in the last twelve vears have been in the age periods 0 to 11, and 20 to 60. The lowered mor- tality in the first few vyears of life is due to a very marked decrease in the number of deaths from forms of tu- berculosis other than pulmonary. The declines in the rates after 20 years of age are due to reductions in the death rates from pulmonary tuberculosis. "So far as we can learn from the records, they show lower death rates in the months since the establishment of the ordinance which limits Chicago's milk supply to that milk coming only from tested herds than in the corres- ponding months of the immediately preceding vears. This is evidenced bv the average rates for the nine months' period and for five of the months taken separately," says Dr. Bundesen. "The largest number of deaths from tuberculosis among children come in the month of April. This seems to ar- oue for the greater need for care dur- ing the winter months," concludes the commissioner, Hub Announces Annual Store-Wide Saving Sale This week the annual Store-Wide Money Saving July Clearance sales were inaugurated in every department of The Hub's Evanston Shop.
