DEATH RATE MOUNTS AGAIN
Pneumonia and Heart Disease, Due to
Weather, Are Responsible.

The death rate for the greater city again
showed an increase last week, as compared
with the same week in l9ll according 20
the Department Of Health statistics. For
the last two weeks pneumonia has been
one Of the chief causes for the increase,
while heart disease has made heavy in
roads on persons over siXty-fve years old
There has been no increase in the death
rate Of infants
There were 2s9 deaths last week from
pneumonia, as compared with 260 in the
corresponding week in 1911. There We're 246
deaths from heart disease. as against 1893
in the same week last year Deaths from
violence were 95 as against SO in the cor
responding week In 1911 Typhoid fever
claimed 13 persons, as against 6 in the same
week last year.
To the severe weather is attributed the
heavy death toll from pneumonia. while
the steadily increasing number of deaths
from heart disease is looked on as a nat
ural consequence of strenuous life in the
metropolis.
There were 332 deaths Of persons over
sxty-hve years old last week as against
294 for the same week IN 1911 There were
692 deaths in tenements, compared with s62
last year. The total death rate was 1883.
