This is the ti st and last blank I fill out for There is a state law requiriug i i recording of all deaths occur i er in towns in North Carolina, r t Allah alone knows the health cm iditions of the country dis- trots, We hope the next Gener - al Assembly will pass a lav x hich will require to registration of of all deaths in the State Then the State Board of Health would be in a position to intelli gently advise with the county health authorities regarding the best health policies to pollow in their respective counties, as they ar.j now doing in the towns. It certainly isn't fair to the ru- rai districts of North Carolina to pcy so little attention to their, health conditions. The lives and; health of these people are as im-1 a i: i ul c I punani as uic lives auu neaim or the people in the cities and towns, and hence, the State should stu dy the amount and cause of sick ness and death in the country as it is now doing in towns. Length of life is being increased n our cities as a result of definite knowledge of the cause of death. Way not in the country?

The fatality from diphtheria used to be from 35 to 75 per cent. Now. when antitoxin is ad ministered the first day of the disease its fatality is only 1 lA per cent, and the fifth day' it is 19 oer cent. From this it will be seen that diphtheria should be re cognized early and antitoxin ap plied at once. Vital Statistics and Crime.
