Prohibition Decreases
 Alcoholic Death Rate

The fgures~ of the Bureau of Vital Statistics of the New York Health De partment show that since prohibition went into effect decline in the alcoholic death rate has assumed extraordinary proportions For comparison, it is con- sidered fair to accept the year 1916 under the license system, since so many men were in military training and war activities in the two years fol- lowing. In 1916 there were G90 deaths from alcohol in New York City; in 1920, l26 deaths; in 1921. -l4l deaths. This represents decrease of 5O0 per cent pee annum. Life insurance figures show that in 19l7>the death rate due 10 alcoholism was 9 per 100000 policy holders, while in 1921 the ratio was 0 9. or, only one-fifth the figure for 1917. Figures for 1921 show decided oe- creese in deaths due to apoplexy, heart disease end chronic nephritis. The
