EFFORT TO REDUCE
 INFANT MORTALITY
Belief That Half of Deaths Are Easily
 NPreventabe.

Washington, Sept. 25.LEdward Bun nell Phelps of New York city, before the 18th international congress on hy- giene and demography, today discussed the worldwide effort to diminish in fant mortality and it's present status and possibilities.
 Demonstrating by data that approxi- mately 55,000,000 babies are born each year, and that about 100000 die before the first year of life, Mir. Phelps declared the, worlds infant mortality probably reached the enormous figure of 4O,000 babies deaths each day, year in and year out, which practically means that an infant death occurs every other second.
 There are the best of reasons for believing that at least 50 per cent. of the worlds present infant mortality is readily preventable.' said MT. Phelps, and the civilized countries are just beginning to awake to that fact
 The story of the redemption of tho people of Porto Rico from the hook worm disease after It's centuries of raYages was told by Dr. Bailey K. Ashford Of the medical corps of the United States army in Porto Rico. He related how scientific treatment ha1 made a whole people S0 per cent. bet ter physically and has caused a 400 per cent. increase in Porto Rico's com. merce.
 Dr. Ashford estimated that 20 per cent. of the rural population were in fected with the disease. and that 70 per cent. of those were more or less sick Physicians had to deal with from 750.000 to S0O,000 infected at the
 beginning of the campaign, when the
 population was 950,000. Three hum
 dred and fifty thousand were treated in the seven years. Some 100,0 to
 100000 more have received treatment to date and 3OO,OD0 still require it.
 But of this 300,f00, 100000 are really light cases or simply worm carriers leaving only about 100000 palpably sick. The majority of the sick are in the hitherto inaccessible mountain barriers. The present sanitary ser vice is beginning to reach them. pr. Helen MacA1urchy of Toronto Canada, contributed a paper on whal | medical inspection of schools can dc | for the teacher.

In addition to these there Is on exhibition the large and celebrated Denison collection of minerals, many Indian relics and arr ticles of historic interest or great value.
