According to the report of the state
board of health for the last quarter
the death rate in the southern part
of the state was about twenty-five
per cent greater than it was up here
in the north. For Southern WiScon-
sin the death rate was PA per thouS-
and of population, while for the
northern part of the state it was 90
per thousand. People living up here
have always contended that this is
the most healthful portion of the
state, and the boards report is in &C
cordance with that claim. Fresh air
and pure water, such as we have, are
agents which produce longevity OF
life.
