v,riou. Cause. Of Death.

It Is Illuminating to read the causes
Of death. In 1914 typical year In
which the figures were not compllcat-
ed by the war-14.2 Of every thousand
persons In the United States died ;
ont Of every hundred thousand deaths
1882 were from diseases Of the heart.
1893 from pneumonia. 1894 from
tuberculosis. 1914 from kidney trou-
bles. 500 from apoplexy. s1.8 from
cancer, 70 from diarrhoea. 25.3 from
diseases Of the arteries. 17.2 from in
fluenza. 1879 from diabetes, 1875 from
diphtheria, 1873 from bronchitis. 1888
from accidents Of all sorts. Arterial
diseases and diabetes show an In
crease that Is really alarming; for In
1900 only 81 per 100000 died Of the
former and only 81 the latter. These.
with those Of the heart and kidneys,
are diseases that result directly from
the strain and stress Of modern life.
