that there should be more effective
registration of births throughout the
United States for this purpose.
The exactly important rate known
as infant mortality" is the ratio Of
deaths of infants under one year of
age, not to populatin but to the num-
Der of children born alive during the
year. This most important ratio
should be readily available for the
comparative study of deaths of infants
in all our states and cities, but, the
bulletin states, in the great majority
of them, unfortunately, the registra-
tion of births is worthless, and ratios
calculated upon the returns would be
deceptive and unreliable.
"In the light Of figures" the bulle-
tin says, 'it would seem that practical
sanitation has only made a beginning
in the work of preventing the oc-
currence of infant and child mortal
ity.
at is time that greater attention
be given to the subject in the United
States. The prompt registration of
all births and the more careful and
precise statement of causes of death
physicians are essential Such items
as commissions 'marasmus,' debility
and the like should no longer be toll
Grated when the true causes of death
can be determined"

RACE WASTE RATHER
THAN RACE SUICIDE
THOUSANDS OF BABIES DIE
FROM PREVENTABLE CAUSES
Census Mortality Bulletin Shows Great
Loss of Life Among Little Ones
Statistics Showing Great Proportion
of Infant Mortality Due to Causes
That Can be Prevented.

Washington.-American race waste
more serious than race suicides
pointed out in Census Mortality Bull
letin No. 104. in which 1t is estimated
that annually in the United States
from 100000 to 10000 babies under
five years of age die from preventable
causes.
This great loss of life among the
little ones at the period when they
are most loving and most lovable
could be prevented, in the opinion of
DIR. Cressy L. Wilbur, Chief Statisti-
clan for Vital Statistics of the Census
Bureau, who prepared the bulletin,
oil the basis of present day knowledge
OF sanitary measures. For the accom-
plishment of effective preventive work
IN this direction, DR.. Wilbur holds
that the prompt registration of all
births and the more careful and pre-
else statement of causes of death by
physicians are essential.
In analyzing and comparing the to-
tails of death returns received for the
year 1908 by the Bureau, those for
1908 show a somewhat increased per
cent Of deaths of infants under one
year, although the ratio for each of
the individual years from one to four
are identical for 1907 and 1908.
Of the total number of deaths, 6s1,-
b74 in 1908, it is stated that nearly
one-fifth were Of infants under one
year of age and over one-fourth of
children less than five years of age.
Some Impressive Statistics.
The brute force Of the figures rep
resenting the actual deaths is more
impressive however than any ratios or
than the rates Of infant mortality,
even if the latter could be computed
in the absence Of proper registration
Of births.
Statistics show that more than one
eighth of a million babies, under one
year Of age and fully 100000 chill
dren, under five years of age, died
among about one-half of the total
population OF the United States in
1908. It is considered probable that
fully 2OO0O0 more died in those cities
and states not included in the Census
Bureau death-registration area.
In this connection, DR.. Wilbur
quoted Professor Irving Fishers con-
clusion that of all Of the diseases of
infancy having the median age one
year, AZ per cent may be prevented;
and that Of the diseases of childhood |
having median age two to eight
years, 81 per cent may be prevented.
Importance Of "Infant Mortality"
The general death rate Of country
is largely dependent upon it's infant
mortality, because the death rates Of
infants and young children are high
and they affect a relatively numerous
element Of the poulatlon. Exact study
Of the incidents Of disease upon in
fancy and childhood is most import
ant, and it is imperatively necessary
