HEAlrHEuL NATION

The bulletin of the census bureau
which announces for 1915 the lowest
death rate ever recorded in the
United States touches upon facts Of
the highest importance. The reduc-
ton Of the rate since 1905 represents
10000 saved In a single year.
The greater nations of Europe do not
now boast of their death rates, says
New York World. Even smaller
neutrals have their difficulties. But
compared with European records
of 1914 our average for the coun-
try is low. The reduction is main
~ credited to the larger cities,
New York standing almost at the head
in percentage of improvement. Some
increases are capable OF explanation.
In Minneapolis, for instance, the rate
was exceptionally low in 1905 owing
to the rapid immigration Of young and
vigorous people. Now they grow old
er. The same principle applies to the
states. Maine and New Hampshire
have twice the death rate of Wash
ington (state). This need not injure
their status as health resorts. The
young are still going West and older
persons are left in the eastern noun
tains. Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Kansas have rate well between these
extremes. Colorado and California
show low rates in spite of the influx
of health seekers. While the negro
death rate is still far higher than
that of the whites, it shows in many
southern and In most northern cities
a tendency to rapid decrease. That
In spite of this handicap upon sanitary
balances. and of local effects of unfa-
vorable climates, so low rate is main
tanned in the entire country, speaks
well not only for public sanitation,
but for the good sense and steady
habits of the people themselves.
