 Cluowomen of Chicago are rejoicing at tne Kind word said of them by the board of health in it's annual report which de- clares them responsible for a falling off in the infant death rate.
 An improved milk supply, the anti toxin treatment of diphtheria and other causes often cited for the decree of in. tant mortality are equally inadequate. and the department is disposed to attach more importance to the education of mothers in the hygiene of the young" the report says. ''The efforts of women's cluos and similar organizations in this eoucatlon have been growing steadily turing this period of decreasing infant mortality. and 1t is believed this is the principal factor in giving the baby a better chance for life.'
