JOSEPH kuBLER. PuhIlshss,

Boston has cause 10 be congratulated
on account Of fts general healthfuiness
according to the Boston Herald. Not
withstanding the large number of heat
prostrations with fatal results" says
that Journal reported IN Boston dur
Ing the last week, II Is interesting and
gratifying to note that the mortality
record for the week was exceptionally
low. Ordinarily the death rate
IN a protracted season of eX-
trefne heat is exceptionally high
particularly among the infant pop
ulatIon. Apparently the babies are
better and more inteliigently cared for
than they used TO be when the infant
deaths frequently mounted up 70 flg-
ures representing something Ike a
third Of the citys total mortality in
midsummer. Pure milk and better
health conditions generally have
changed al this for the better.n
