On Governors Island there still ex-

faithfully, to his post.
Two years after the cholera cpl.

yellow fever epidemic of 1856, which
threw New York into a semi-panic.
Naturally the disease spread to Gov.

The physical bigness of Uncle Sam
Is impressive if viewed from any di.

sis. If the average consumption of

other vegetables, cake, pie, fruits.
etc.-is only pound and half day
that means 1876, 100000 pounds, or 67,-

Asst year the death rate in the
IL United States was probably the
lowest ever known. It certainly was
less than the mortality of any other
year since vital statistics have been
collected in a sufficiently large part of
the country to indicate clearly the
general state of the public health
In 1909 the death rate in states and
cities which contain more than half of
the population Of the United States
was almost exactly Is to every thou
sand persons living. It was not quite
one in the thousand below the aver.
age mortality rate of the preceding
five years. The fraction was nine
tenths. That means nine lives in
every 10000 Of the population. 1t is
900 in every million inhabitants, or
1000 in 90,000,000.

Waste of Death Is Greatly Lessened

is like stopping the waste of life in a
great war. It is equivalent to ward
ing off death $3.50 times every month,
1857 every week, PAL times a day.
It averts ten deaths every hour, one
every six minutes day and night,
from one years end to the next.
If the economic value of the lives
saved by lowering the death rate $,
the United States-the results of bet
ter and more careful living-is placed
at no more than an average of 1000
apiece, the effect of cutting down the
mortality $1,000 in year is much
the same as preventing the waste OF
sS1 100000 dealing with this great
economy in human life on the hardest

The gradual change for the better
in respect to saving life and warding
off death is not confined to the United
States. It is going on in other coun-
tries, also Throughout the civilized
world, there is general change for
the better in the conditions of liv-
ing and in the chances for life itself.

the army should be divided into large
