ROCHESTERS PURE MILK SYSTEM
HOW IT HAS KEPT DOWN THE DEATH RATE
AMONG YOUNG CHILDREN IN
HOT WEATHER
HOT WEATHER.

Rochester, n. Y, July q (speciaD-The terribly
high death rate among children under i've years
OF age which has marked the last week IN BROOKLYN
and Baltimore has brought into emphatic contrast
the surprisingly low returns furnished by the ply
sicians % this city for the period. Brookyn's
lists ran as high six hundred; BaItimore's
reached over three hundred Rochester's was TWEEN
ty-one. It is true. Of course, that both OF these
cities have larger populations than Rochester but
the proportonate mortality is striking.
The gratifying report which Rochester Is enabled
to make has caused little satisfaction IN the
Health Departments office and shows that the sys-
TEN OF sanitary education which has been tncuI-
Gated in Rochester's inhabitants for the last four
years is reaching its fruition.
The milk stations now in their fourth year.
The death rate among children under FIVE years
OF age for July. 1896 year before their estab-
Iishment. was 126. average for three weeks
Of 30; for July, 1895, los average for three
weeks OF 81.
Health officer George W GOler. 10 whose EFFORTS
may be attributed the introduction OF this sanitary
system OF child nourishment in the hot weather,
has prepared tables showing the death rate among
children from one 10 i've years OF age last year
and this. They as follows;

PITTSBURGH, Jan, 1.-THE strike Of
the river fremen is causing some In
convenience to the boat owners, but
nearly all the boats have managed to
get away with tows of coal. The fire.
men claim that the boats that left
Pittsburgh went with short crews, but
the boat owners deny this and say that
they are getting all the men they need.
1t was semi officially announced that
only one boat experienced trouble in
getting out to-day-the Tom Dods-
worth. and she finally got away short
ly before II o'clock this morning. after
waiting since last night. The Coal City
was also detained some. The report
that the boats were compelled to tie up
between Pittsburgh and Merrill YVES de-
MED.
The following tow boats departed this
morning: Stella Moren. 4 barges and
one covered barge Of freight; Coal City,
10 barges: Tom Dodsworth, 10 boats.
The following boats got away yester-
day: Pacific No. 2. barges, boats;
Cruiser, barges, boats; Robert Nc
KInley, 5 barges: Clifton. boats; Fred
Wilson. 2 barges. boats; James Nor
en-. 4 barges. boats: John Moren, l
barge, boats; Mariner, barges; Will
mot, 5 barges; voyager. 3 barges; Ber-
tina, boats. The total shipment
amounted to about 100000 bushels.
Many crews have left for down river
points to bring up tow boats with tows
of emptles, but it has been very din
cult to get firemen and some coal win
probably be held here on this account
pending a settlement OF the strike or,
until men can be got to work at the
price set by the combination.
