A commission to determine whether or

LOCAL EXHIBIT SHOWS
MORE HEALTAFUL CITY
Leopold Freudberg's Effort in Gait
Prize Contest q Rev.
elation.

Washington Is becoming more
healthful city. It is not yet as clean
as 1t might be, but with the elimina-
ton of the alley houses a great step
forward will be taken.
These are two conclusions by Leo
pold Freudberg, a Business High
School graduate of last June, follow
ing a careful inspection Of all the
alleys of Washington. In tho course Of
the inspection Mr.. Freudberg made a
careful study and record Of 500 such
homes, and spent many hours porting
over the records of the health Office.
The results of Mr.. Freudberg's efforts
are to be shown at Business High
School In the near future, when he
enters his charts and photographs in
competition for the Gait prize, offered
for the best exhibit and thesis on
civics.

School. He also found others scat
tered promiscuously over the city, and
the conditions in some he describes as
'frightful"
Contagious Diseases Decline.
Here are some Of the statistics which
he gathered:
That the amount paid yearly per cap
tia for the District health Office is 80
cents. That the amount spent on that
Office is just 94-100 of 1 per cent Of the
entire District appropriation. and that
1t is the lowest of all departments.
That deaths from alcoholism are
about twice as high in proportion to
the population among the white resi-
dents as among the colored.
That contagious diseases are on the

In the per 100000 population units the
following decreases in deaths are
shown:
Typhoid fever deaths in 1900, "a: in
1913, "a: tuberculosis deaths in 1900,
278; In 1912, 2O5; scarlet fever deaths in
1900, ~; in 1919, LIZ, and diphtheria
deaths in 1900. So; in 1912. 4.
Average Life Is Longer.
Although the average man Is not at
tanning anything near his allotted
three score and ten years, he Is grad
, ually attaining a longer life. In 1900
the average white man lived to be thir-
I ty-nine years and two months old and
| the average colored man attained the
age of twenty-five years and four
months. In 1919 the white mans life
had heightened to forty-eight years
and one month and the colored mans
life had reached thirty-three years and
ten months.
The figures given are from the ex-
IRENE ends of the charts prepared by
Mr. Freudberg. The intermediate fig
ures show that the changes have been
gradual and that the good showings
made are no accident of statistics.
In 1900 the per cent Of white babies dy-

The Treatment of

1t is quite refreshing these days to read Of
clearly defined treatment for Influenza or

ton Is both unnecessary and injurious.
When called TO a case Of Ia grippe the pa
tient Is usually when a fever is pres
