TOLL OF TUBERCULOSIS CUT
Physicians Report 90.7 Out of 100000
Die, as Compared With 200
in 1905:

New York.-The death rate from all
forms of tuberculosis in the year 1921
reached the remarkably low level OF
90.7 per 100000 population. This in
formation has been obtained by the
National tuberculosis association from
the registrars of As states in the Union.
In 1921 'returns from 40 states
showed a death rate of 108 per 100000.
The decline in 1921 is equivalent, ac-
cordng to the association, to n saving
of about $4,000 lives in 1921 over 1920.
The association points out further
that since it began its active program
in 1905 tie tuberculosis death rate has
been cut from SLIGHTLY more than POD
to a figure we'll below 100 per 100000
population.
