October 27, 1928 WINNET KA -T ALK 31 WOMEN SICK OFTENER BUT OUTLIVE THE MEN U. S. Public Health Reports Show Male Demands More Care Than Female Women are sick more than men but the male gets the worst end of the mortality bargain, according to an analysis of statistics released this week by Dr. Isaac D. Rawlings, who points out that 55 per cent of all down- state deaths in Illinois last year were among the masculine sex while males constituted less than 52 per cent of all births. Out of the twenty-six cen- teparians who were numbered among the 47,088 fatalities down-state, fifteen were women, although total deaths of males exceeded those of females by 4773. Furthermore, 143 more women than men had passed their 85th birth- day before Father Time overtook them last year. "In the adult population women ex- perience more illness than men from every sort of sickness for which com- parisons are warranted," Dr. Rawlings said. "This statement is based on a house to house survey made by the U. S. public health service. In nervous disorders the female patients outnum- ber the males by 5 to 1 while for kid- ney disorders the illness rate of the females runs ahead of that in males by about 2 to 1. Excess of respiratory diseases among women over men is fully one-quarter. The reverse is true among children less than ten--the male falling victim to more sickness. "Girl babies are more apt to survive their first year of life than are boys. While 55 per cent of the births last year were males, 56 per cent of the deaths of children under one year were of boys. This situation prevails from year to year indicating that the male requires much more painstaking care than the female at the outset of life if he manages to survive. "From infancy throughout the re- mainder of life until age 85 the death rate among males is higher than that among females, After passing 85 the number of fatalities among women is higher for the very simple reason that there are more women than men in that age group and even women can't live forever. Open Children's Classes Sunday at Baha'i Temple Albert Vail will tell "How to Attain the Radiant Life," the Baha'i explana- tion of the New Jerusalem and of the Holy Spirit, at the last October public address, Sunday afternoon, October 28, at 4 o'clock, in foundation hall of the Temple at Linden avenue near Sheridan road, Wilmette.
