INCREASE IN SUICIDES.

The current issue of the Journal of
 the American Medical Association di- rects attention to the alarming in- , crease of suicides in this country. It
 is shown that our suicide rate is
 now above 16 in 100000 of the popu-
 lation and last year there were some
 l5.00O suicides in the United States.
 In our cities during the last 20 years
 the suicide rate has risen from some
 what more than l2 in 100000 popula-
 tiJn to more than 20 in 100000.
 Another interesting fact in connec-
 ton with the statistics on the subject
 is that the larger cities of the country.
 those above 25O.000 in population. used
 to hold the unenviable distinction of a
 much higher suicide rate than the
 smaller cities. but in 79 cities under
 the quarter of a million mark the sui
 eide rate was last year equal to or above that of the 24 larger cities.
