Childrcn's Death Rate Lowered.
.orhere anpears to be a reduction in the
death rate at all ages up to the beginning
of the decline in strength in all countries
where statistics are available. The great
est reduction appears in the death rate OF
children under five years of age which may
be attributed to improved health regula-
tons based upon a better understanding
and a more thorough enforcement OF the
laws of hygiene and sanitation All cities
show similar reduction in infant mortal
ity according as sanitary regulations are
enforced. For example:
"rn the city of Washington. with popu-
lation of 230 in 1890, there were 2.06l
deaths among children under five years OF
age In 1900 there were only 1,845 deaths
with an increase Of $4,000 in the population.
In Chicago there were 1854 deaths OF chill
dren under five years Of age for a popula-
ton Of 1.O99, $50. while In 1900 there were
1888 deaths for population of 1,6Se,5 3D.
Buffalo is one of the healthiest cities In
the world, and you would naturally expect
to see an Improvement there, but the fig
ures go beyond expectation. In 1890 2.3O4
infants died. in population of 25ooO0,
while in 1900 there was decrease OF 40
deaths. although the population had In
creased nearly 1000 In New York. which
is the worst Of all our cities for infant
mortality because of the crowded tene-
ments, there was similar showing. In
1890 1895 infants died In a population OF
1,515,301 In 1900 the number OF deaths was
15,684 for population of 2,050, 900.
I'VE can assume that this Improvement
In infant mortality is permanent. because
we know that it was caused directly by
"a nitary reforms. This Is proven by the
statistics.
