In Interest of Public Health.

One of the most important of the
many statistical inquiries conducted
by the Government is the Census
Bureaus collection of data in regard
TO births and deaths. The annual
mortality statistics give the number
of deaths from each cause in each
locality, and thus make it possible
TO measure the toll exactly by each
cause of death from year to year
Such figures serve as the foundation
of public health work They indi-
cate to the public health officer the
most promising direction for the ex-
penditure of funds appropriated for
such work. and they clearly show
what degrees of success have attend
ed the campaigns for better health
In former years. The declines in the
infant mortality rate and in the
death rates from typhoid fever diph-
iberia, tuberculosis and many other
diseases afford striking proof of the
success of former campaigns. but one

An application for funds to de-

structing a field a short distance

Unsuccessful companies forced into

holders for new funds. Unless such

of unquestioned integrity and ability
response to such appeals often means
merely throwing good money after bad.
A conspicuously fraudulent device

investors has been the merger" by
which a new company, trading upon
fresh prospects and promises, talk es
over the assets of an unsuccessful
venture and issues new stock for old
provided the shareh holder pays 25 per
cent or so in cash to take advantage
of the privilege" extended to him.
