Already the Death Rate From Tuber
cuIosIs 10 Showing a Gratifying
Decrease.

In certain cities. such as New York.
Boston. Cleveland and Chicago. and
In states like Massachusetts,. Rhode
Island and Connecticut, the decline In
the death rate from tuberculosis Is
more marked than In the country at
large, which declined 1877 per cent In
the ten years from 1901 to 1910. The
National Association for the Study
and Prevention OF tuberculosis says
that there are many factors working
together to cause the decline In the
tuberculosis death rate. such factors
as the change In the character OF our
urban population, increased santa
ton, and better housing, but probably
as potent factor as any has been the
nation wide anti-tuberculosis cam
paign. 1T may be foretold with con-
siderable certainty" the association
says. that when the effects OF the
present rapidly increasing provision
for the care of tuberculosis patients
shall have become evident, the decline
In the death rate from consumption In
the coming decade will be even more
marked than that in the last one"

Frederick VIII, OF Denmark, one OF

monarchs of Europe, dropped dead in
the street. UnrecogniZed, the remains
were carried to hospital and placed
in a public ward, where it lay for
hours until members OF the Danish
royal suite. with which the king had
been stopping at the Hamburger Hof
hotel, identified 1t. Frantic search
had been made for hours before the
whereabouts of the king were learned.
He had gone merely for his usual
evening walk. and his failure to re-
turn caused the gravest fears.
There was pathetic scene when
Queen Luisa learned of her husband s
death. She was one of the first to
see the body at the hospital and i'm
mediately ordered it's removal to the
hotel.
Attempts OF the authorities to iden-
tify the body at the hospital were
made virtually impossible at first by
the fact that the king was travelling

Kronberg, and papers bearing this
name were on his body.
