At first it might appear though our claim to be-

of the figures quoted It should be taken into

can be charged to Galifernians strictly speaking.
It is impossible to state how many invalids and
elderly persons come to California each year seeking to
regain health and prolong life by escaping the rigors
of more harsh climates. \ perusa OF the death no.
tees of any daily paper in California will invariably

On the other hand it is true that we have very
high percentage of deaths from accidents This can
be explained in part by the fact that climate per
