Naturally the people are interested
to learn precisely how the large sums
the state is investing annually in good
health is being spent; what are its
dividends, as measured in the actual
saving Of human lives? Is Pennsyl-
vania a richer, more healthy COM

first OF all. a considerable reduction in
It's death rate. Not so many people
die here now as died in 1906, the year
when the new department began its
organized work. The citizens OF
Pennsylvania, especially its little chill
dren stand a better chance than they
formerly did Of reaching mature life
and a green old age Mortality sta
tistlcs do not commonly furnish ex-
citing reading, but, when considered
from this point OF view. they make
an emphatic personal appeal Thus.
in 1906 and 1907, the death rate in
Pennsylvania per thousand of popula.
tion was 16.5: in 1908 it had dropped
to 1b.7, and in 1909 to 1873 At first
glance this may not seem a remark
able diminution, but in a state with
population Of more than 100000 even
a fractional decrease is a substantial
gain. This appears when one figures
precisely what this slight numerical
drop means in the actual saving of
human lives Had the death rate of
1906 and 1907 prevailed in 1908. pre-
cisely 5519 more people would have
died than actually succumbed Had
this same rate applied in 1909, instead
of the decreased percentage recorded
by the Bureau Of Health, just 1888

words these matter of fact statistics.
when interpreted in their real rela-
ton to the welfare and happiness of
the state, mean the saving to the state
OF 13,907 lives.

many thousands OF patients in the

The ia tuberculosis dispensaries are
of especial assistance to this class.
The dispensary physicians have treat

greatly improved that the arrest of

the sick man or woman is received by

she learns all the details OF his family

Battle Against Tuberculosis.

In its attitude towards the great

eminent also shows this keen sense
OF responsibility for the safety of the
people. The department of health re-
gafds all the tuberculosis poor as in a
large sense the wards Of the state. It's
efforts, In the first place. are to pre-
vent them from falling victims to this
insidious disease, and in the second.
to assist materially in curing those
who have become infected.
The death rate from tuberculosis in
this state has fallen from 1874 to 120
per one thousand of population in
four years. This means a saving of
loco lives annually.
In the matter OF tuberculosis, how
ever the death rate tells only small
part Of the story. Any work In i'm.

many years before extensive results
