CHILDREN S
LIVES WASTED
Census Bureau Reports 2OO,-
900 Little Ones Die Annually
From PreVentabIe Disease

( WASHINGTON. d. c., Nov. A.
/ American race waste-more serious
than race suicides pointed out in
Census Mortality Bulletin, No. 104, in
which IL is estimated that annually in
the United States from 100 900 to 200,-
900 babies under five years OF age die
from preventable causes. That this
great loss Of life among the little ones
at the period when they are most low
ing and most lovabie could be pre-
vented is the opinion of DR.. Cressy
J.. Wilbur, Chief Statistician for Vital
Statistics Of the Census Bureau, who
prepared the bulletin, on the basis of
present day knowledge of sanitary
measures. For the accomplishment OF
effective preventive work in this di-
.rectgon. DR.. Wilbur holds that the
proinpt registration of all births and
thei more careful and precise statement
Of causes OF death by physicians are
essential.
In analyzing and comparing the
totals obtained in the compilation Of
transcripts of death returns received
for the year 1908 by the Census Bureau
from the entire death-registration area
of the United States, as set forth in
the bulletin, those for age periods show
n somewhat increased per cent. OF
deaths Of infants under one year for
1908, although the ratios for each of
the individual years from one to four
are identical for 1907 and 1908 OF
the total number of deaths, 691 ,574
returned for 1908 from the entire reg
istration area, it is stated in the bull
1etin that nearly one-hfth were Of in
fants under one year of age and over
one fourth of children less than five
years Of age. It is declared that the
brute force Of the figures representing
The actual deaths is impressive, how
ever, 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. Here
are the figures:
More than one eighth of a million
babies, under one year of age and
fully 100000 children, under five years
Of age, died among about one-half Of
the total population of the United
States in the year mentioned. It is con-
sidered probable that fully 200, 900 more
died in those cities and states not
included in the Census Bureau death
registration area. In this connection
DR.. Wilbus quotes Professor Irving
Fishers conclusion that Of all the dis
eases OF infancy having the median
age one year, AZ per cent. may be
prevented; and that of the diseases

With them he has discussed the pow

dangers to which his millions expose
him, the duties and the responsible
ties which millions impose upon their

also obtained the views of the pro
