The annual death rate from con sumption in Massachusetts fell from 308 in 19o? to 84.2 in 1921. To the common every day laymen a drop from 3>5 to 94 2 or say from 100 to til, looks Itko u pretty good gain. Of course just the "garden variety" of man would say the bottom would soon fall out, while the “Pollyana" in dividuals and the Coueltca would get out their glud rags and their harps and tune up for a pean of delight. But some statisticians can stick to : the joy killing stunt In spile of what my alliterative friend next door would call hell and high water. Britten and Sydenatricker of the 1 United States public health warns us that the consumption rate is due for a rise. In fact, they say the rise has already begun. They quote from a ! statement by the Metropolitan l,ifo Insurance company that in the earlier months of 1922 they hail more claims caused by consumption than in the sumo months in 1921. The statisticians say that there was a wave of Increase of consumption which lasted through the three or four years preceding the influenza wave of 1913. In a later study, they will analyze the immediate effect of this influenza wave of 191S. That there was a great drop in consump not deny, nor do they try. They say not deny, nor ro they try. They say the disease conies iri waves Hind re versions, ebbs and flows. Prior to tile influenza was a period of flow; 191S to 1921 was a period of j Daily Pray er Watch aiy*l fray—Mark 13.33.

Whether they are right or wrong, we should all be able to agree on this—we cannot afford to let up in the fight on consumption. The people must buy Christmas seals, the hospitals nnd sanitaria must be (supported, the laws against spit ting must be enforced, careless con sumptives must not be allowed to harm their families, the milk must be pasteurized, nor can the individual af ford to let up. He must insist c® ventilation, must keep away from badly crowded places, must take care of his coughs and colds, must avoid dust. Intel mil lent Heart. Weak Heart writes: "1.
