,,Year inst closed. In Keeping with the
reduction Improperly boss Is the num-
Der Of fires reported: -: Z -
= For the year 1919 the total prop
erty loss by fire in Minnesota, is re-
ported to the fire marshal's depart
ment and verified by personal inspec-
ton, was only $3;ss1,544, as against
$5,658,535, which, exclusive OF loss
of $12, 728,423, by reason Of the for
est fires in northern Minnesota, Is the
actual loss from preventative causes
the year previous. The grand total
for 1918 was $17,3S6,958, the major
portion of which, as explained, was
Investigated in the forest fires of that
year. :.
The number of fires reported and
listed during the year was only 2,16l
while 3,158 were registered for the
year 1918. This later figure, how
ever, is unfair in respect to COMPARE

thern Minnesota forest fires Of that
year. To this one cause alone 635
fires were attributed. However, there
is a marked decrease in the matter OF
preventable causes.

From 21s to 5 years Of life Tor
each individual in the United States
can be saved in this country II tu-
,berculosis is eradicated. In terms OF
money value, at 500 a year per per-
son.. which is moderate estimate,
this means a prospective saving OF
about Is to so billion dollars to the
people Of the United States. There
are conclusions reached by the Ma
tional Tuberculosis association on the
basis of figures compiled for the asso-
ciation by Miss Jessamine 6. whitney,
research secretary, and DR.. Louis !.

tan Life Insurance Co.

rived at their conclusions by an In
eenious method. Basing their studies
separately on the population OF the
United States according to the census
for 1910 and upon the experience OF
tho metropolitan Life Insurance COM
pany from 1911 to 1915, each OF them
prepared life tables showing the nor
NAL number of years person might
be expected to- live II tuberculosis

there we're no deaths6from tubercn-
.losis whatever fnzfhis country II
Dr. Dublin found that the number

losis varied from 2.6 for white wO-
mon to s years for coqored women:
