Thirty-six and one-half per cent OF
the death record among infants last
year was made up of cases coming
under the last two items, and A out
of the 144 cases ma king up the list for
this year fall under this classification,
and it is larger than any other two
causes combined. Most of them are
reported from hospitals. The condi-
ton indicated by the record is not a
nice thing to discuss, but after taking
a liberal view of the figures and max
ing allowances for circumstances over
which parents had no control, it seems
reasonable to believe that morality and
a discontinuance. Of criminal practices
would do more to reduce the infant
mortality rate in the city OF Topeka
than all other health rules combined.

PREHISTORIC EVIDENCE.
Excavators Find Bones and Ieeth
Far Under Surface.


Larned, Kan, Nov. Sin digging
the ditch for the main sewer at 'ne
state hospital for insane, Just West OF
Iarned. the workmen have unearthed
a large number of bones. teeth, etc.
from what appears to have been pre-
historic animals. The bones were
found at a depth of from IA to II feet
while digging the ditch across a leVei
field several hundred acres in extent.
The field lies in a bend in the Pawnee
creek and is surrounded on three SIDES
by what was once high bluffs. The
level field is very evidently silt for
nation, augmented by erosion from
the surrounding bluffs. AT the bot
tom of the sewer ditch the workmen
found a bed of almost white sand and
gravel.
Among the bones are two large
shells, one as large and somewhat
the shape Of a skull. That it is not
a skull is proven by the shape and by
peculiar corrugations on the outer
surface. Both fragments are petrified
but have been pronounced as unques-
tionably bone originally. Another
find, at II feet below the surface, was
a we'll preserved tooth, several inches
long and about three inches in cir
conference, with sharp pointed grind
ing surface, indicating that it may
have been from some huge carnivor-
Gus beast Of prehistoric times.
Jenkins Hill. which adjoins the field
on the west, on which is to be located
the administration building of the
state hospital, was once favorite
camping place for the Indian tribes
of western Kansas, and for many years

been favOrite hunting spot for peo-
pie in search of flint Indian arrow

DEATH and MILK.
DR.. Babb Investigating Causes
of Infant Mortality.
City Milk Inspector Finds ia
Deaths Out of 704 Births.

DR.. Geo. F. Babb, city milk in
spector is investigating the cause of
deaths among infants in Topeka All
births and deaths are recorded in
the office Of the city clerk. DIR. Babb
is digging into these records and
whenever he comes across the record
of the death of an infant and the
cause of death is given as anything
which even remotely might be traced
to impure milk he puts the informa-
ton down in a special list. Yesterday
he went over the records from the
first Of the year to the present time
and today he is out in his automobile
making a personal investigation of
every case that might indicate inn
pure milk.
The infant mortality rate last year
under two years OF age. On an aver
age one child out of every ten born
did not live. Bad as these figures
seem to the person who has not
studied such things, yet this ten per
cent rate is low compared to most
cities, according to Franz Schneider.
one of the experts conducting the
social survey.
This year (from January 1 to No.
vember - 794 births have been re-
ported to the city clerk and during
this time IA deaths of infants under
two years of age have occurred. The
relative number Of deaths to births,
however, will probably be reduced by
the end of the year as deaths among
infants are always greater during
summer months, and not all the
births for October have been reported
yet.
OF the IA deaths of children this
year, 125 were less than one year
old, and 10 over one year old. ALI
mentary troubles were the cause of
26 deaths Of children under one year
and of six over one year old. Pneu-

of IL under one year old and Of five
over one year old.
