ADULT DEATH RATE TOO HIGH
Australian Commission, After Investi-
cation, Points Out Causes Of Nor
taIity In Middle Age.

The statement made in a recent
bulletin of the New York board Of
health by DR.. Charles F. Bolduan that
the expectation of life for man Of
forty was actually at least year
shorter than it was ten years ago, re-
ceives confirmation from Australia in
the report of commission appointed
to inquire into the causes of death and
invalidity.
The Lancet Nondon) quotes this
commissions report as saying that the
principal risk of middle age is in high
blood tension. The principal causes Of
this are found in overstrain and in
chronic poisoning of the blood by foods
and drinks, and from the bowels and
the throat.
The Lancet says the recommends
lions Of the New York and the Aus
tralian bodies are somewhat vague, but
it welcomes campaign against avoid
able adult mortality which, it says,
need not become an opportunity for
the exhibition Of rampant faddiness,
though risk lies in this direction"
