SEVEN KILLED BY HEAT
Health Board Gives Tint as Record

Seven deaths from heat this year
four OF them during the present spell
are listed by the Board of Health,
while in almost every classified ton the

increased by heat as contributing
factor. Deaths directly due TO heat
are:

Bridget Hennessey aged fifty-nine,
overcome and died July s.
Mary Williams, colored. aged one

Deaths from prostrat ons, il is ex-
planned. represent but a small fraction
of the deaths due directly or indirect
ly to heat, as that is a contributing
cause in practically all cases of infant
mortality, while people have died from
all manner of diseases whose chances
for recovery would have been vastly
better in cooler weather.
