if the deathrates at each age of life had been the same as those in 1900, for the 1D35 death toll of l,207, ,369 would have been increased to 1,9T5,- 761 if the 1900 mortality conditions had persisted.
 Changes
 Of the IS causes of death consid- cred by the statisticianS, mortality changes among Il have resulted in the saving of life, while mortality changes among the remaining four have had the opposite result.
 The improvement in tuberculosis mortality over that period ranks first, and in l935 alone 1t was re- sponsible for the saving of more than 5000 lives. In the same year the saving of life because of mor- tality improvement among the re- maining 10 causes of death was aS follows, in round numbers:
 Influenza and pneumonia, 122,O0C lives.
 Diarrhea and enteritis, 108,00O lives.
 The principal communicable dis eases of childhood measles, scar- let fever, whooping cough and diphtheria--50, 900 lives.
 Typhoid and paratyphoid levers 5000 lives, or practically 93 per cent of the number that would have been lost if the sanitary conditions oi 1900 had remained unchanged. Nephritis, 26,O00 lives.
 Cerebral hemorrhage and soften ing, 17,000 lives.
 Diseases of the puerperal state 4,500 lives.
 Beyond Expectancy
 The four causes of death whose changes in mortality resulted in a loss of lives beyond that expected on the basis of conditions of 1900 were organic heart disease, with an additional loss of about 5000 lives; cancer, 43,0O0 additional loss; dia- betes, 12,000 additional loss; and external causes, including suicides 10000 additional loss.
 Good as the general mortality record has been during the past B years, the statisticians point out that that of New Zealand has been even better. "If we could have es- tablished in our population the very favorable mortality rates prevailing in New Zealand" the statisticiani say, there would have been onl, 9l4,000 deaths in l935, in place oi the 1,207,359 actually recorded which would have meant the saving of 300,000 more lives."
