Dr.. Rutland Expects 100
Fewer Deaths in D. C..
This Year.

Health Officer George c. Ruhland
predicted today there would be about
100 fewer deaths from tuberculosis
in the District this year than in 1896.
As q result Of intensive campaign
ing, the deaths from tuberculosis
numbered 523 up to December l,
compared with total of 662 for all
Of 1886. He estimated that by the
end Of this month the tubercular
deaths would number around $50
which would be commendable de-
cline.
The death rate for the District from
all causes during the first 10 months
or through october, was 1927 per
1000 population, compared with 1862
for the corresponding period last year
For the full year 1885 it was 1859.
Health Department officials inter.
preted the rate as meaning that SOC
persons out Of 100000 population are
living today because of more favor
able health trends.
Despite the generally encouragina
outlook in the state of the Districts
health, there has been a marked in.
crease in the number of deaths from
cancer. A total Of 500 white persons
died from this disease during the first
10 months Of the year, as compared
with only 567 for the same period
last year. Cancer deaths among the
colored population was reported q,
about the same.
The decline in the colored death
rate was more pronounced than
among the whites. Using the same
10-month basis, the colored rate was
1856, compared with 20.6l last year
The death rate for whites was 1929
compared with 1898.
There has been slight decline In
the number Of deaths from infectious
diseases other than tuberculosis, but
an increase in the colored deaths from
respiratory diseases.
