LOWEST ON RECORD
TUBERCULOSIS DEATH-RATE. HEALTHIER LIFE IN BRITAIN. LESS MATERNAL MORTALITY. (United Press Association—Copyright.) (Received This Day, 11.20 a.m.) LONDON, August 3. The lowest tuberculosis death-rate on record is disclosed in the year’s report of the Ministry of Health. There was less maternal mortality, and steady progress in other branches of national health, the Minister (Sir Kingsley Wood) declaring that English men and women, and particularly children, are enjoying a healthier and a fuller life than that at any time since the industrial revolution. The mortality, 3.51 per 1000, was lower than four per thousand for the first year since 1924. The improvements are attributed to better living habits, removal of slums, and purer milk.
