Startling Statistics

A cablegram to the press received from Shanghai in May, 1926, stated that the discrepancy between the percentage of insane in China and in the United States was indeed great. Although the population of China approximates 450,000,000, the United States has twenty insane persons to every one in China. A telegram to the press from Washington, D. C., dated Dec. 27, 1925, stated that the investigations of the Department of Commerce had revealed that in 1924 twice as many persons in the United States had died from ailments of the Heart as from all other diseases combined.
