    4s previouslv pointed out, Table 2 shows that the percentage of persons between the age of 1=; and 35 in urban districts is considerably in excess of that in rural districts. This difference in the distribution of the population necessarily from anv consideration of health conditions. In order -^s'oT co ^ ^he district with the whole county, it is necessary to prepare factors of correcting the disturbing influence due to unequal distribution of age and sex. 1 he ‘ rountv is .8918, rates of the Registration County of Salop is .8654, that for the Aclminis 1 is 8622. Sat for the combined Urban Districts is ,9353. mtd that for the combined Rural D.str.c.s These figures have been applied to Talue 4 iu order to corrKt be seen by reference to this Table that the correc ed rates are very considera . in the rural districts, than the crude rates. In order to have quite comparable figures, factors of correction should be^ disease. Disease rates in this county thus corrected would ^t;e of circer On the contrarv e<;neriallv in the rural districts, and this is very markedly so in the case or ca the phthfsis rate in the rural districts would be slightly increased by the corr c MARRIAGES.
