CITY \ COUNTRY.

Sanitary progress in the city, SUCH
as filtered water. sewerage. sanitary
plu,nbinc. garbage collection and
prompt action as 10 Infection. are
supposed by many to have made life
in ths, cities safer against disease and
death thar in rural districts. Yet il
appears from censu bulletin l"a that
owing TO closer croWding of the cit
les. despite progress in the sanitation
of cities, the chances IF health and
longevity are still greater in rural
life.
This is expressed in tn. general
summary by the statement that in
1910 the average mortality rat. FOR
the cities of the United States was
1879 per thousand of population.
while for the country it was 1874.
The differences appear more plainly
in the cases of some of the leading
diseases. That pneumonia and tuhar-
rulosis should be less prevalent in the
country than in the cities is TO he ex-
pected. since fresh air is one Of the
noted ~prcventtves nf both. But the
difference of III per no.onh popula-
ton in cities to 100 i'll the country
for pneumonia. and Of 17a 70 127 in
the country for tuberculosis surpasses
expectation. With the attention that
has been given To water supplies wa
should expect the typhoid mortality
to be much lower in the cities. but il
is only as 22.4 TO 23.3 against the
country. Scarlet fever shows strong
ly against the cities, the mortality be
ing 14.2 there and Sc for the country.
II has been one Of the assertions that
suicides were more frequent in pro-
portion to population on the farms
than in the cities, but the statistics
show l7.9 In the cities TO 12.4 in the
country. Accidents and homicides
are about even. being s9.7 in cities 10
Ss.3 in the country.
II rural jewellers were as vigilant
against polluted water ana accumula-
lions Of filth as the cities are forced
to be there is little doubt that the
sanitary superiority Of fresh air and
plenty Of would be marked.
