that something would happen on Satur-
day. The testers. he said, were written.
in red ink I'd they contained the infor-

GENERAL DEATH RATE LOWER
Decrease in Heat and Children S
Gases, Health Department Says.

Deaths directly due TO sunstroke for the
week ended last Saturday amounted TO
only 81, as compared with 2SS for the week
ended on July 10. 1911.
The striking reduction in infant mortal
fly which has characterized the statistics
50 far this year also continued during
last week. when deaths from all causes
under one year totalled 300. as compared
with $50 for the corresponding week last
year
This result Is attributed by the Health
Department in large part to the work Of
the ifty-hve municipal infants milk sta
tons. supplemented by other stations OBJ
Grated under private auspices, and I'm
general TO the work OF the Babies Wei
fare Association. which for the first time
has united all forces striving for the re-
duction OF the infant death rate.
The general death rate for the week
ended July 10 was 1902. az against ls.s2
for the corresponding week of 1911, the
difference OF 40 being equivalent to a
decrease of 40 deaths.
More than half of the year 1872 has
passed, and the death rate Is 1870, as COM
pared with 1886 for the first twenty eight
weeks Of 1911.
