Despite a somewhat unfavor able beginning, due to the influenza epidemic last winter, the lowest death- rate for the second quarter of any year was recorded this year. This rate was 8.9 per thousand. It reduced the cumulative deathrate for the first six months of 1931 to a point where it is nowjonly 1.7 per cent above that for the like period of 1930. This is according to statisticians of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Com pany from a study of the deaths among the industrial ppJicyholders of I the company. They report that among policyholders living west of the Rocky I Mountains, the deathrate for the half- ' year was 6.3 per cent lower than for I the correspjonding period of 1990. Among insured Canadians, the im provement has been even greater, 8.2 per cent. But among the great bulk of the insured wage earners, who live east of the Rockies, the mortality rate has increased by 2.6 per cent, which more than counterbalanced the gains in other sections. “During the first quarter, a wide spread joutbreak of influenza caused thousands of deaths,” says the insur ance company’s Statistical Bullentin. *‘Most of them resulted directly from influenza or influenzal pneumonia, but many were among persons who were suffering from chronic diseases and wly)se deaths were hastened by attacks of influenza. As a result, ap preciable increases were recorded in the mortality from heart diseases, cerebral hemorrhage, Bright’s disease, diabetes and cancer. The end of the second quarter finds the excess in the 1931 deathrates for these diseases much reduced. In the case of Bright’s disease, the mortality, up to the end of June, was actually lower than the first six months of 1930. Tuberculosis Lose "There are two outstandingly fav orable items in the health picture of the first half of 1931. The most im portant is the qontinued drop in the mortality from tuberculosis. This has occurred in the face of the influenza outbreak and the severe unemploy ment which always tend to raise the tuberculosis deathrate. During the second quarter the mortality from tu- bercu]|0(sis dropped sharply among the white policyholders and appreciably among the colored. The result is that at the end of June, the cumulative deathrate has declined nearly 6 per Only Ten Days! If You Want to Keep Your Name Out of Paper, Pay Your Taxes, Says McLean There are “only ten mjore shop ping days—” no, not before Christ mas, but in which to pay your taxes before the lands on the de linquent tax list will be advertis ed for sale. They will be^ adver tised |0n September 1 and sold on October 5.

There has been a considerable rise in the dia betes deathrate, and apprecable in creases are in evidence :^or heart di sease and cerebral hemorrhage. In the field of violent deaths, the mortal ity rates for suicides, homicides and automobile accidents have risen some what.
