GOVERNMENT STATISTICS SHOW
 HEALTH OF CONNECTICUT.

Pulmonary tuberculosis is con1moner in Connecticut than in other eastern states, and venereal diseases are rela-. lively uncommon in comparison with the rest of the country.
 This is the outstanding feature of the report by states just made at Washing ton by the surgeon generals office from a review of the records of the provost marshal generals office on all men listed under the draft law.
 "Connecticut," acording to the report, lis one of the smallest, and densely pop ulated of the states. Settled originally by English agricultural stock, which had immigrated in from Massachusetts Bay, it has in the last half century developed into a great manufacturing state and at tracted hundreds of thousands of recent immigrants The whole state is divided into a prevailing agricultural and sub- urban section, including Fairfield, Litch- field, Middlesex, New London and Tol- land counties, with an average population of 115 persons per square mile. while the manufacturing area, New Haven and Hartford counties has an average of 537 persons per square mile. Among the re- cent immigrants the Irish were in 1910 commoner than any other European race.
 Pulmonary tuberculosis is rather com moner in Connecticut than most of the eastern states, having proportion of twenty-five per 1000 with tuberculosis Venereal diseases are relatively uncom- mon, about one-third as common as in the population of the United States as a whole.
 "EXophthalnic goiter occurs in about Is persons per 1000 and simple goitei i in less than 1 per cent, so they are thus rare diseases in Connecticut Mental de. | fciency was found twice as commonly in the more rural sections as in the more | urban, but dementia precoX is less com i monly found there. Defective vision wa: i found more commonly in the manufac ] turing area, and defective hearing is alst more abundant there.
 l "Defective and deficient teeth are abou ! 50 per cent. commoner in the agricul l tural and suburban sections than in thu l manufacturing section. Hernia is great 1 CT in the first section. and enlarged en
