like individuals have their maladiee
 their local and general conditions
 which affect their health and pro
 gress, and whoever woull raise tho standard of public health must study attentively all signs and symptoms of 2ublc sickness.
 Where we have criticized, we have done so in the spirit of fault-fiDding but with the desire of presenting a just picture of existing conditions and we trust that our suggestions will 'be accepted in the spirit in which we nave made them.
 We would add that this report does not attempt to outline d complete health program, but touches only up- on such matters as we feel require early and ca, nest consideration for the protection of Pine Bluff citizens. As interest in public health increas es. new methods of attacking against rreventable disease will naturally suggest themselves. and there is lit- tie doubt but that, once started on a rt'ional basis, health department act iviti,ls of a modern type will inevitab- ly be extended.
 Vital Statistics.
 Complete and accurate registration of vital statistics is fundamental to effective public health work With out full and reliable reports of deaths the healt!, officer is unable to tell what diseases are exacting the heav- fer tolls of life in the community; nor can he tell what parts of the city are most seriously attacked. Without prompt and complete registration of births he cannot compute the rate of infant mortality for the city as a whole or for it's parts, and he can not initiate Eaby saving work at the time when such efforts arc most val uable; that is, as soon after the birth as possible. Vital statistics are the bookkeepink of health, life and death, and certainly no one would attempt to operate a business Immediately connected with the welfare of many thousands of persons without keep ing books on the business

l ists. This is the fact that no use Is
 made of the records as for as locai
 lifc-saving effort is concerned. This is an objection which would be quite
 removed by the organization of To-
 cal health department, a. step which is most earnestly urged in another
 part of tni;; report. Wilma full-tlme
 health officer installed in an office
 continually open during the day time,
 and with this official acting as regis
 trar of vital statistics. very great
 improvement in registration could be secured. Lackinr such all official we would suggest the desirability of having the city cierk act as registrar.
 In view of the defective records
 we are unable to make accurate statements regarding Pine Bluffs death rates. It may be noted, how. ever, that this city's general rate was in 1917 at least 25.4 ner 1000 popu- lation, which it not at all reassuring. Furthermore, her tuberculosis death rate was at least 197 ner 100000 and her typhoid fever rate at least 45. Both of these rates are much higher than those prevailing throughout the country. Malaria caused at least IT deaths, corresponding to the extreme ly high death rate of 93.e per hund- red thousand. Altogether at least 1 one third of all the deaths registered were from avoidable causes. This means that about 150 persons died | nesdlesly during the year.
 Under these circunistant es it must | be evident that both good regis 1 tration of vital statistics and ener getic health department activity are called for.
 The next installment of the report, 1 which will appear in Ire Graphic next Sunday, March 8, deals with | Infant Mortality.
