N IT'S FIGHT
AGAINST, TBC
MICHIGAN ANTI TUBERCULOSIS
ASSOCIATION LEARNS Il. b. c.
DEATH RATE ON DECREASE

According to figures received by the
Michigan tuberculosis Association
from one Of the country's greatest life
Insurance companies, there has been
decrease in the death rate from tu-
berculosis among that company's
policy holders every year since 1911.
Since the company's policy holders are
scattered all over the United States,
the figures are somewhat representa-
tive of general conditions. In 1911
the death rate was 224.6 per 100000
population; during 1919 it was 1874
per 100000 population. This last fig
ure was lower than the figure of 1917
which was 1889.
The improvement in 1918 as COM
pared with 1917 would have been
much greater, the company announces
but for the last three months of the
year! In the first nine months the
1918 death rate was seven per 100000
lower than the 1917 rate; but for the
last three months the rate was 1873
per 100000 higher than the 1917 rate.
The tuberculosis death rate usually
drops considerably in the last quarter
of the year; but in 1918, probably be-
couse of the influenza epidemic, there
was next to no decline.
That the death rate from this dis
ease is not only kept from increasing
but that it is actually cut down some
what is considered triumph for the
antituberculosis movement in view of
the fact that the abnormal conditions
of recent years have tended to in
crease the hazard from it. In the
countries of Europe, almost without
exception, the death rate has been in
creased enormously. In the United
States the speeding up of industry,
the entry of hundreds of thousands
of women into industrial pursuits for
which they had perhaps too little
strength, the restrictions on foods,
the anxiety and stress of war condi-
tions-all tended to attack the physi-
cal vitality of large masses of people
in this country ind to make them more
susceptible to such diseases as tuber-
culosis.
But the anti-tuberculosis organiza-
tions of the country have been trying
to keep pace with the new conditions
and that they have in measure sue
ceeded is shown by the fact that the
disease has not grown as much dur
ing those years as many predicted at
the beginning of the war.

Jolly Evening at John McNaughton's

jolly Evening at John McNaughton's
A jolly crowd of young folks gather
ed at the farm home of John Nc
Naughton on Friday night, January
second, as a surprise for Maurick
McNaughton.
The party was a Leap-year event
and this idea was carried out in many
original ways. The hours were crowd
ed with the greatest sort of fun, and
at midnight the girls escorted the
boys who they had unknowingly
chosen to a hot supper. One of the
most surprising features about the
affair was the noticeable predom :
nancy of boys. 1t seems to be the ac-
cepted thing around here, that more
girls shall be in attendance at almost
any sort of an affair, than boys. But
here, why, some of the girls actually
had to take threeboys Ito supper!
Think of what an usual opportunity
Yes, it was real, sure-enough leap
year party, alright, and the crowd ap-
preciates the fine hospitality of Mr..
and Mrs. McNaughton.
