Rawlings, state health director, de- clared this week that the next two weeks give promise of closing one of the most healthful years in the his- tory of the state. Deaths fell 3288 below the corresponding 1926 period during the first nine months of this vear in spite of a population increase estimated at 100,000. Pronounced de- clines in mortality from pneumonia and feature the record, while | substantial decreases in fatalities mark | the 1927 course of tuberculosis, whoop- ing cough, scarlet fever and measles. | Communicable diseases in general ac- | counted for 2352 fewer deaths during | the first half of 1927 than in the first half of 1926. "Armed with the precedented been able to benefits of un- prosperity, people have combat contagious di- seases and ill health in an unusually | effective way this year," Dr. Rawlings said. "Greater economic resources have enabled the public to take ad- of preventive and control World methods heretofore beyond the reach of many. health service been employed so gen- erally nor to better advantage.

Nevy- er have the common people enjoyed more adequate nor cleaner food sup- plies and never have they been more comfortably clothed and housed. "The result is an unusually health- ful condition in the state. Pneumon- ia, influenza and tuberculosis, three diseases that prey upon people whose physical resistance is low because of inadequate diet, over-crowding, unhy- gienic habits, ill health, etc., caused 2236 fewer deaths in the first half of 1927 than in the first half of 1926. "Diphtheria is the only communica- ble disease that has manifested a sig- nificant increase over the 1926 record. Deaths from this infection are running about fifty per cent higher than in 1926. This. unfortunate rise is more than offset, however, by the marked reduction in most of the other com- mon contagions. "Based upon an estimated popula- tion of 7,314,000, the mortality rate for the first nine months of 1927 was 11.1 per 1000 people against 12.1 for the corresponding period in 1926. Re- ports of contagious diseases indicate that this favorable condition still pre- vails. "It appears that the state is about to experience one of the most health- ful holiday seasons that it has ever en- joyed and that the people are facing the difficult winter months, the most sickly period of the year, under the most favorable conditions." Ask Good Fellows' Help for War Vets' Families The last call before Christmas comes from Mrs. Joseph Joyce of Kenilworth for volunteers to act as Good Fellows for the families of disabled veterans of the World war.
