Here IS good news of the passing wear

rieS the gloom of 1925 industrial and
finapcial troubles. Figures assembled by
| 81 leading American insurance companies
covering 27,OOO.0O0 lives. indicate that
| the present year has been the hcaIthiest
in the history of Canada and the United

According to the reports of these com

Of the life insurance business of this
country-inHuenza has been practically
eliminated Pneumonia shows Svmpa-
thetic decline. tuberculosis which. ten
years ago. caused one death i'm every four
among policy-holdcrS. this wear caused
only one in ten. Deaths from automobile
accidents. suicides and homicides have in
creased. The percentage of deaths from
ailments of advanced years remains high
and will continue to do 50, say the insur
ance men. as long as the pressure and
tension Of present-day life are maintained
The fact that the cancer death rate has
risen is attributed to more accurate dag
noSis of the disease rather than to actual
increase.
Some interesting health points may be
cleaned from these statistics. One of
them is that many Of the diseases
formerly allowed to sweep away large
numbers of people arc now coming under
control. They are not only greatly re |
luc"d but may finally be put out of bust |
ness, Another is that a little more cour |
ago in simplifying life, both of individual
aud community, will result in the lessen
ng Of the disease of middle and later life
This year has been the healthiest so
far. If its lessons are rightly read and
1eeded, succeeding years should be each
more healthfuI than the last.
