HEALTHY KOWLOON

lony is one of the healthiest British possessions East of Suez. Of this immunity from sickness and disease Kowloon, by virtue of its size and residential prominence, enjoys a large share. Apart from seasonal epidemics, such as smallpox and, enteric, which are still to be expect ed in any tropical climate, the Mainland is on the whole extraor dinarily free from disense, and the fact that the general death rate, particularly among foreigners, has decreased to a marked extent in the last ten years, is evidence of the praiseworthy work carried out by the Government Medical, authori ties.

In adopting muth- needed anti-malarial measures, the Department has worked in co operation with the sanitary services of the Colony, with the result that a greater measure of immunity has been obtained. Kowloon is not yet entirely free from this disease, how ever, and it is felt that until the Mainland is fully developed and the large areas of waste land have been thoroughly drained it will not be possible to eradicate it altoge ther.

In regard to infectious diseases, the death rate amongst the Euro- pean section of the community is decreasing. year by year, but the medical Authorities experience greater difficulties when dealing with the Chinese. Overcrowding, an important factor in the spread- ing of sickness, is still one of the evils of the Mainland, and, in add tion, it has been found a hard task to persuade the lower-clase Chinese to adopt habits of hygiene and sanitation without which it is im possible to keep disease at bay The dangerous practice of spitting persists, in spite of attempts to
