-HEALTH HINTS

Doctors and health workers are
alarmed at the increasing death rate
from cancer, diabetes apopleXy or
ganic diseases of the arteries and
Bright's disease.
These diseases are the ones usually
occurring after the age of 40.
Over 100000 Americans die annual
" from diseases of the heart, arteries
Ind kidneys. This is more than three
hines tho number of deaths from tub
erculosis.
There are several factors respon'
Iible for the increasing death rate dur
ing the productive period of life.
The growth Of cities at the expense
bf the rural district and changing per-
Bonal habits Of life probably play a
pTrt.
The harder pace Of business and So
cial life, less opportunity to get out
Into the open, to exercise and to live
moderate are also believed to have an
hnfavorable effect upon those over 40,
Excuses in eating and drinking lead
to degenerative processes beyond a
doubt
The increasing death rate above As
may also be partly due to the lowering
Of The infant mortality rate.
