and In which the trouble has been taken to COM
pile careful stausucs of the results accom-
plished, demonstrates that the labors are bear
ing fruit and demonstrating the great value Of
the effort The public is reasonably familiar
with the work in stamping out yellow fever,

which sweep away large numbers, but the work

population of the reporting area, a decrease OF
s per cent from the corresponding period of
the year 1914, which year also represented

OF the causes OF death shows that this decrease
is all from the diseases classed as preventable
and the report goes much further and points out
that had the advice Of the board been more gen.

easily have been a much better showing.
