ANOTHER CLEAN RECORD
IN THE CANAL ZONE,

The report Of the department of
sanitation of the Isthmian canal COM
mission for September. 1913, showed
that during that month not a single
white man, woma or child from the
United States had died from disease
on the canal zone. The report for
February, 1914, shows that another
record has been established. During
that month there were 1882 white en-
ployes. Among this number, equal to
the population of a good sized city
there was not a single death from dis
ease during the month. Two white
employees were killed by accident, one
by electric shock and the other by in
jury received on the railroad, but no
white employe, either American or for
eign, died from disease during that
time. AS might be expected, the death
rate among other classes was equally
low. OF the $500 white employees from
the United States, there was only a
single death by violence. OF the g.
SIS white women and children from
the United States, there was one death
from accidental drowning and three
from disease. One, a child of 4 years,
died Of diarrhoea; ~another,a woman of
20, died Of old age, and a third, a wo
man Of "A, died of pulmonary tuber-
culosis.. Out of a total of 9,184 white
American employees and their families,
there were only three deaths from dis
ease and two from violence, while
among the total 10,963, Americans on
the canal zone there was only a single
additional death from violence, max
ing a total Of six deaths for the month
among nearly 1000 persons, equal to
an annual average death rate of $50
per thousand. Nor are the benefits OF
improved sanitary conditions limited
to white employees and their families
In February, 1914, there were 1885,
colored employees, and among this
number there were only twenty-five
leaths from disease and six deaths
from violence, making an average
death rate pei thousand from disease
of 6.31, equivalent to a total annual
average death rate, for the entire 49,
459. employees, of 5.34 per thousand CT
the twenty-five deaths, four were from
pneumonia, seven from tuberculosis
and one each from organic disease OF
the heart n typhoid fever, leaving
nine deaths from all other diseases
After living for five or six years amid
conditions which have produced such
a startling reduction in the death rate
will the men who have dug the Pan
anna canal be able to find any city In
the United States which is s~ufficientls
cleanly and healthy for them to live
