presently his fervor transforms

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. C. A. L. Reed

y OAS We 6AS LIE AS(C0
You, like the rest of us, will
- arrive at the time when the
disposal Of your mortal remains,
while probably of no practical con-
Germ to you at the moment, will
be one Of interest to your surviv-
ing friends and, possibly. Of i'm.
portance to the health Of the com.
munity. In other words, shall
your remains be buried or shall
they be cremated?
There are evidences, not statisti-
cal. that cremation Is growing
more popular in the United States.
Recently the London Lancet dis
cussed the problem as it exists in
England. 1t calls attention to the
fact that in Europe, particularly
in Switzerland and CZechoslovakia,
the practice of cremation is ac-
cepted as a substitute for burial
without question. Municipal Gre
matoria are self.supporting, and
their introduction into English
speaking countries would reduce
individual expenses very much.
The ground required for burial is
very large in proportion to the
number of the Inhabitants. Every
/ 1000 persons require a quarter to
half an acre every IA years, and
one acre is required every year for
every 1000 death rate. English
municipalities lose hundreds of
thousands of dollars a year on
burial. The annual deficit in Shelf
field Is $40, 900; in Manchester, $685.
900, and in Blackpool, $4,000.
Similar statistics from American
sources would be of great interest.
A question in Parliament a
year ago showed that local
authorities had, in the preceding
seven and one-half years, to
borrow for this purpose sums
amounting to more than $6,000,-
600. The burden on the living
increases in geometrical proper
ton, and before long munich
pal authorities will have to begin
to refuse facilities for burial.
The only serious argument
against cremation is that it may
destroy the evidence of crime.
Experience and authoritative opin-
ion show that this argument has
no substance. Out of $1,000 Gre
nations that have taken place
in England. in not one has any
question arisen afterwards about
the cause of death.
Before a body Is cremated,
many stringent regulations have
to be obeyed. Among them are
the production of three certifi-
Gates, from the executor, the
medical attendant and an indie
pendent medical practitioner. In
England the medical referee APP
pointed by the Cremation Authori-
ty has considerable power; he al
lows no cremation to proceed I'M
til he is satisfied that the death
has been duly registered, that
the three certificates are in order,
that the persons giving them have
made enquiry, and that the fact
and cause of death have been
definitely ascertained. If the GER
titled cause of death may have
been due to poisoning, violence
or illegal operations or to pri-
walton or negligence, he must re.
quire a post-mortem examination.
and if that does not reveal the
cause of death he orders an in
quest and the production of a
coroner's certificate. He may
stop cremation without giving his
reason.
Lord Salvesen, distinguished
Scottish judge says these safe.
