HIE LIFE SAVERS
London, May 14—The present
Liberal government of Great Brit
ain is one of the greatest sav
ing institutions in the \»orld, ac
cording to John Burns member of
the cabinet and president of the
board of trade. In the past sovca
years, since it has been 'a power, he
declared in a speech at ?outh Shields
it has saved the lives of more than
half-a-million persons. Tnis is the
way he works it out:
The reduction in the death rate
shows that 543,000 pc.^ons are
alive today who, according to ti.<*
ratio for the preceding seven years,
really ought to bo dead This he
ascribes to the improveme >1 in hous
ing. public health, and other condi
tions of life brought about by the
government's progressive and sym
pathetic legislation. Ho points out
also that the total pauperism in
England and Wales has b» en dimin
ished by 22 per cent, so 'at there
are now 178,000 fewer persons sub
sisting at the expense of the tax
payers than there were eight jv. :rs
ago.
