ty of pedestrians" and that provision
soon will be made for placing an
"aisle of safety" in Market square,
the health officer suggests that signs
overhanging the sidewalks be given the
serious consideration they deserve.
This comment is made on the con
gested conditions in the Central High
school:
"We regret that conditions at the
Central High school remain unchanged
and it seems ineonceivable that parents
tolerate the continuance of this impor-
tant matter without the semblance of a
protest, especially when the future well
rare of their children is concerned. -
After recommending that the street
railway companies should be compelled
to operate street sprinklers over all
their city lines and that the Highway
department could aid materially along
health preservation lines by flushing
the sewers and streets at night, the
Health Officer takes up in detail the
vital statistics.
Deaths occasioned bv the more seri-
Gus diseases during 1914, were CLASH
fed as follows: By heart disease, 1872;
nephritis, Ill; cerebral hemorrhages,
104; still births, 80; tuberculosis, ~ !;
pneumonia, II; congenital debility. 81 /;
cancer, 81; violence-suicide excluded,
90; enteritis, 49, typhoid fever, IL;
diphtheria, 8; suicide. 13.
Total of 955 Deaths in Year
There were 955 deaths during the
year of which S66 were of whites and
SO of colored persons. The death rate
for the year was 13.49 per thousand
while in 1913 it was 1886. The mum.
Der of diphtheria cases last year was
1S4, exceeding that of the previous
year by 81, although the percentage of
deaths from that source showed a de-
crease of more than half.
OF the 81 eases of typhoid to which
Harrisburgers fell victims last year,
twenty-five were traceable to outside
sources. There were thirty-two non
residents treated here for that disease
Three of the six cases having local
origin were due to poor nursing and the
remaining three to a contaminated well.
| The Pennsylvania Reduction Com
pany removed 30,213 loads of ashes;
6,4S6 loads of garbage and 64 dead
animals from twelve wards of the city
last year, while II. l.. Lickel, the Thir.
teenth Ward collector, took out 1,719
loads of ashes and six dead animals. The
sanitary officers placarded /, ,10S homes;
disinfected 1895 homes and schools
and investigated 1,545 complaints. p
j. Bradley, the plumbing Inspector
made 1888 inspections and approved
904 jobs.

VITALITY OF PRESENT DAY AMERICANS

An explanation has been offered of the increase
in the death rate in this country of persons
than fifty years old That there has been such an
increase is asserted by the same statistics which
show that in certain European countries the death
rate among persons more than fifty has been de-
creasng. Because of this difference an explanation
has been thought necessary and the one offered
recently by student of the subject may be the
correct one.
Comparatively little thus far has been done in
this country, according to the explanation, toward
the prevention of diseases common to maturity and
old age. Most of these are what are called degener
ative diseases, affecting the heart, arteries Kidneys
liver and nervous sysem, and caused by faulty
diet, nervous strain, worry, overwork and diss
patton
American life we are then told is more likely to
produce these conditions than life in European
countries because in this country mot only do we
take everything at a quicker pace than do the
people of Europe, but We not content to drop
out of the struggle until the pace has practically
killed u.s.
An American s prospects for ripe old age are
not very promising according to that presentation
of the subject yet there is bright side, too Sta
tistics not only show that there has been something
of increase in deaths among the middle-aged
the elderly and the aged, but also that there has
been material decrease in the death rate among
young people, since medical science has succeeded
in controlling the diseases which attack childhood
adolescence and youth. The young people of this
age not only have access to the extended knowledge
of physicians to combat disease and prevent DEATH
but also have the advantage of participation in the
increasingly popular outdoor sports, to promote
good health and insure life.
If it is to be proven that Americans of to-day are
far below the physical standards of their progeni
tors, as has been asserted, examples must not be
looked for among the average young men and young
women of the country who, given as they are so
largely to outdoor sports rather robust lot
Ii we are told that an American people we are
degeneratng, should like very much, as Wash
ington Irving expressed it, to see the people from
whom we are degenerating.
Although our old people, whose vitality may have
been reduced by our swift social and industrial
pace may suffer by comparison with the old people
OF former times, the young people of this age could
perhaps show their predecessors a thing or two in
the way of athletic stunts and consequent develop
ment of the best physical types of manhood ana
womanhood If this is true it stands to reason that
when youths of the present period arrive at old
age they will be in better physical shape to with
stand its rigors than the aged of the present day.
