IMPROVED HEALTH
What British Statistics Show London, August 3. The lowest tuberculosis death-rate yet recorded is disclosed in the report for the past year of the Ministry of Health. There was less maternal mortality and steady progress in other branches of national health. The Minister, Sir Kingsley Wood, declares that English men and women, and particularly children, are enjoying a healthier and fuller life than at any time since the Industrial Revolution. Maternal mortality was 3.81 per 1090 —the first year since 1924 that it has been lower than 4 per 1000. The improvements are attributed to better living-habits, the removal of slums, and purer milk.
