STATISTICS
HonoIuIu's Health
Is Improving
Again.
ON
THE DECREASE
Monthly Figures for Six Years Past
Show an interesting State :
of Affairs.

Mortuary statistics for the past six
years show a gradual return of the
good health of Honolulu as 1t was
years ago. The increase in the num-
Der of deaths for the past five years
is alarming when compared with the
increase in population, but now the
city is returning TO it's normal condi-
rate may be expected.
From 1895 to 1900 there was an in
crease of nearly eighty er cent in the
death rate. but now the reaction has
set in. In 1895 the deaths for the year.
according to the statistics prepared for
the Board of Health numbered 731, in
1896. 672; in 1897. 65S; in 1898. 937: in
1899. 1854, and in 1900 1890. This was
the maximum in Honolulu, the death
rate for the year approximating three
per cent of the entire population. In
1901 there was a decrease in the num-
Der of deaths, the total reaching but
1925. while this year the aggregate
promises to fall far below that figure.
During the six years for which the
statistics have been compiled, April,
October, November and December ap-
pear to have been the most unhealthy
months, or at least the death rate was
higher during those months than at
any other time of the year.
tuberculosis is still the most deadly
disease in Hawaii, according to these
reports. though there is shown consid-
cradle Improvement within the past
year. For March this year there was
a total of 81 deaths from all causes, of
which eighteen were due to consump-
ton. During the same month last year
there were twenty-six deaths due to
out of a total of 116
deaths. So fearful did the ravages of
this disease become among the people
Of the city that the Board of Health
issued special circular some time ago
In which the public was urged to take
every precaution to prevent it's spread.
The circular was never distributed. |
however though the rules of the /
Board of Health were given wide cir !
,ulation in the public press, and the |
agitation at that time is I'm a measure |
responsible for the decrease in |
he disease.
The first three months of the present !
year show a remarkable decrease in /
he number of deaths due from tuber-
.ulosis, as well as TO the total of each |
month.
Below is given a list, showing the
number of deaths due to tuberculosis.

granted that, notwithstanding the ad-
vance made two years ago, a like in
crease would now be granted the min
ers, and the question of wages being
out of the way, there was general
