TABLE 14.-SHOWING MORTALITY RATES FROM ALL CAUSES AND FROM CONSUMPTION ONLY, IN MUNICIPALITIES HAVING 5.000 INHABITANTS OR OVER, FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1910, PER 10,000 POPULATION.

The death-rate in summer resorts is calculated on the basis of the resident population, whereas the actual population is often several times larger, and on account of this floating population and the large number of invalids included in it, the death-rate is not a criterion of health conditions.

CHART SHOWING DEATHS FROM CONSUMPTION IN NEW JERSEY, PER 10,000 POPULATION, FOR THE THIRTY-TWO YEARS, ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1910.

Deaths from pneumonia in New Jersey have been separately classified for the past ten years, and during this decade the deathrate from this disease has not shown an alarming increase; the death-rate for the past year per 10,000 inhabitants being 12.44 as against 13.15 over the previous year, and there is no doubt that the campaign against tuberculosis and other diseases of the respiratory system, which called for the enactment of such laws as the abolishment of the public drinking cup, will also be the means of lessening to some extent diseases of the respiratory system.
