The death rate of tuberculosis has been reduced about 50 per cent. Diph- tlieria is now preventable and is becoming infre- quent.

The diseases that may be considered as largely under individual control show increasing death rates. Heart conditions, diabetes, and kidney diseases are examples of rate and temperature. thc

ThcV are, tO some extent, dependent upon a person's habits of living. It is an accepted fact that the general life expectancy span at birth is increased. Believing that every one has the right to live, science has enabled us to bolster up the weakling at birth and all along the way — but eventually he drops out, the fight is too great. Science has decreased the infant mortality rate only to have the weaker ones die at a younger age than those with a stronger physical start. If life is to be lengthened at the other end, every indi^'idual must take more interest in, and insist on living hygienically. Much is still to be done. Ten years could be added to the expectation of life if all sections of the popu- lation could live under the same favorable conditions that are enjoyed by groups and communities w^here the death rates are unusuallv low. Individuals must be educated to have an intelli-. L'/uunroucl A- L'/uUrnaoJ A physical examination includes the taking of one's pulse.
