standing the excess Of drnkable CT
der over the -dIinkable goods, a
third Census bulletin affords con-
ISOLATION in fact that Vermont is a
good place to live in so far as the
ravages of the White plague are
concerned, for according to the lat
est statistics only four states pre-
sent better showing than the
Green Mountain commonwealth.
These states are Kansas, Montana,
Nebraska and Utah. The death rate
from tuberculosis per 100000 of
population in Vermont in 1920 was
81.8. This figure discloses a steady

rate was 11G.8. In 1918 it stood at
104.4, and in 1919, at OIL. Utah's
per centage rate for 1920 was only
39.1. Some of the states snow eX-
ceedingly high rates of death per
100000 of population, notably Col
orado, with 225.4; California, with
1896; Delaware, with 146; Ken
lucky, with 1897, etc.

the rates in 1920 were: Maine,
1923; New Hampshire, 81; Mass
achusetts, 1893; Rhode Island,
1913; and Connecticut, 1874. The

ulation from tuberculosis ran the
highest in some of the southern
states, such as Kentucky, 363.S;
Maryland, 1866; Tennessee, 1926;
Virginia, 256.2; and Mississippi,
201.2. New York and Pennsyl-
vania's colored population also suf-
