FACTS OF BOARD
OF HEALTH
ORA. C. JOst Br0adcasts Over
WDEL of the Progress
Being Made
DEATH AVERAGE CUT

That the average Delawarean
now dies at an age five years
greater than during 1927, due to
improved public health conditions
in this state, was brought out by
DR.. A. C. Jost, executive secretary
of the State Board of Health, in
an address from WDEL Thursday
morning. In 1927, he stated, 3OO2
persons died in the state, having
lived a total of 150,963 years or
an average of about so years. But
the 334O persons who died in 1897
had lived a total of 185,789 years,
or an average of $50 years. This
deferred time of death was attrib-
utable. DR.. Jost said, almost en-
tirely to 1.-The saving of infants,
children and young adults, and the
quite direct result of public health
effort, assisted by the medical pro-
fession and participated in espec-
ially by the mothers of the state.
IF each of the 25O,OO0 persons
making up the population of the
state have profited by this five and
a half year deferral of death, it
means that an addition has been
made to the life capital of the
state which totals over a million
and a quarter years = a very tidy
bonus to be acquired for health
expenditures of less than a dollar
ner capita per year" The subject
of DR.. Jost's address was 'Expen-
ditures and Health" the fifth of
the series of fortnightly programs
sponsored by State Board Health.

the right to inspect the sales rec
ords of individuals, firms, or cor
porations so engaged. The State
Board of Agriculture proposes to
fulfill the duties of their Office as
required by the Law. It is their
intention to see to it that the loss
to farmers through this source
shall cease. In order that this
might be accomplished, they have
provided for the preparation and
distribution of copies of the law
and their regulations, together
with the bills of sale which will
cover each transaction. Each bill
of sale is to be made out in tripli-
cate by the purchaser who retains
the original, one copy to be retain
ed by the seller, and one copy to
be forwarded by the Bureau of
Markets by the purchaser on day
of transaction. All bills of sale
must be accounted for by dealers.
All voided or improperly made out
ones must be returned to the Bu-
reau of Markets in order that
they. together with those filed,
check with the number supplied.
They should not be mislaid or de-
stroyed. Failure to comply with
any or all regulations will result
in prosecution or the revoking of
the offenders license.

had occurred at Kassel and at
Zebra in front of Jewish shops and
synago2ues. At Kassel, show win
