Urges Examinations
Yearly to Keep Tabs
On Health of Body

Portland, Me-, Nov. 23-"Annual
Physical Examinations" was the
subject discussed by DIR. Clarence +.
Kendall Of Augusta, State commits
sioner of health, in the weekly health
message broadcast from radio station
WCSH at the Congress Square hotel
this evening.
DR.. Kendall declared that remark
able progress has been made in the
last century in the lengthening Of
human life through the development
of individual and community health.
In 1856, II years ago, the average
length of life was 40 years; today the
average length of life is SO years, an
increase of Is years in this period.
In the decade 1910-1920, the length
of life was extended four years.
"A century ago. continued the
commissioner, "one-half of all chill
dren born failed to reach their first
birthday; today only six to seven per
cent. fail to live through the first
year of their lives.
This extension of life has been
brought about through the develop
ment of the science of preventative
medicine and of public health.
with all of these achievements
there is still one notable failure to
improve living conditions. The
diseases of middle life and later life
have not been checked.
THE chief need of the present
widely acclaimed campaign for
periodic health examinations is this
underlying condition of silent and I'M
recognized sickness.
Preventative medicine is the
medicine of the future; for the last
quarter of a century or more each
year has shown advancement in the
science of health until today we see
preventative medicine on an acknoWl-
edged basis, important enough so
that in England they are represented
in Parliament by a minister with
cabinet rank.
''As preventative medicine is sue
cessful in its aim, the amount of
sickness and the need of the doctor
for curing disease will diminish.
Many cases of beginning tuber-
culosis, cancer, nephritis, heart
disease, etc, can be discovered early
and either be cured or arrested so
that the individuals life may be
prolonged a number of years longer
than though the disease had been
left to run its course. 4 periodic
or annual physical examination by
skilled physician and proper fol-
lowing of his advice will add years to
the lives of our citizens and save
hours of suffering. Have a physical
examination to determine if you have

Aroostook county alone, emphatically
denies that illiteracy is on the increase
in Maine.
1.-THE figures used by Mr.. Branson
are taken from the census of 1920,
said DR.. Thomas. "Since that time
conditions have been steadily improv-
ing, and in 1925 the percentage of IL
literate in the entire State was cut
down nearly 25 per cent.
Ten years ago we had 24,554 Hit
crates in Maine out of a total popula-
ton of $4,000, and at the present time
there are only 20,240 out of a popula-
ton in excess of 10000"
I'm Aroostook county the percentage
of foreign-born Inhabitants is COM
paratively large, and this accounts In
measure for the fact that about one
fourth of all the illiterates in the
State are located in that county. But
this condition will be greatly improved
by 1880, when the next census is
taken, for the young people are get
ting an education and many of the
older ones are learning to read and
write"
