save the Children.

The statistics of the Board OF Health
show that the deaths for the second week OF
the present month increased 76 over the
first week. The total deaths numbered
TAI, which represents an annual death
rate of 49, 20 in every thousand OF the
population. Taking the most recent weekly
returns that have been received from other
cities the deaths represent an annual rate
in Philadelphia of IL 62 per 1000 OF the
population in Brooklyn Of 21.97 IN 81.
Louis of 1887; in Chicago of 1907 In
Boston of 90 03 in Baltimore OF 80; In
Cincinnati of 1906 in New Orleans OF
2377 and in Richmond of 1851. Sickly
Charleston is the only city whose death
rate by the last weekly report exceeds our
own, and it is 1890. This is bad show
ing for New York, which should be, ac-
cording to its natural advantages, the most
healthtul city in the world. The hateful
tenement house system, the inefficient
Board Of Health and the unfaithful street
cleaning authorities combine to make its
high.
The statistics show that the poor children
of the tenement house districts supply the
increased mortality, and that the diar-
rhceal diseases produced by hot weather,
uncleanliness and foul air are the principal
causes of death among the little sufferers.
During the week mentioned, as compared
with the first week Of July, there was an in
crease of 30 deaths of children under year
old, Of 46 under two years, of 40 under five
years and of 81 from diarrhGa. This is a
terrible mortality, and it is evident that it is
mainly due to insufficient and unwholesome
food and impure air, for we find that out OF
449 children under five years OF age 273 lived
in tenement houses leaving only 176 deaths
to be divided among the juvenile institu-
tons of the city and residences containing
three families and less. 1t is to be feared
that the extreme heat of the last
week will largely swell the mortality,
and that the poor tenement house children
will be the principal sufferers. Now is the
time, therefore, for the good work of those
charities that supply the unfortunate little
ones with few days or hours of fresh, pure
air. There ought to be no delay in con-
tributing to the funds of the seaside homes,
and OF the excursion boats and floating hos
pital which take the children for few
hours out of the heat of the city. Many
and all who can afford it ought to be willing
to contribute something for so humane and
Christian an object
