INFANT MORTALITY Is LOWER
Five Years Have Brought Down
Death List in Cities.

What the American cities are do
ing and can do toward preventing in
faint mortality and the high death
rate Of children under five years Of
age is the subject of bulltin issued
by the Children's bureau of the de-
partment of labor. II is the purpose
Of the bureau to issue similar bull
letin annually and in time to make
ii a complete manual for municipal
and phllanthropic activities in the di-
rection of child welfare. Summer
campaigns for babies lives have been
waged with such marvelously good
effect in some cities. that it seems TO
the bureau important to enlist the
energies of as many cities in this
wors as possible. To this end it will
be helpful 10 collect and present for
the information of ALL the little or
much that is being done by the vari
Gus cities.
The efforts of city health officials
have resulted in the last ten year:
in reducing the general death rate
in cities. below that of the rural dis
+ tricts and villages. This reduction il
the general death rate is an encourag
ing indication of what is possible o
accomplishment in efforts to reduce
the infant death rate. Babies die Q
diseases which TO a large extent ar
preventable. and thus when welfar
work is directed toward saving thei
lives the response is immediate an
decided.

SEES HIGHER PURITY
IN POLITICAL LIFE
Secretary Daniels Outlines a
"NeW Freedom in Speech
in Kansas City.

ST. LOUIS. Nov. D.-secretary of the
Navy Daniels. speaking here today,
outlined new freedom" He declared
1t involves the elimination Of sectional
prejudice and an independence in po-
litical thinking which does not brand q
man of opposite party as a traitor.
II hope we shall never have q spine-
less race of mugwumps, who are moved
by every wind Of doctrine, and have no
fixed convictions upon great public
questions" he declared. Better the
narrow partisan, who has a robust
faith, than a dilletante mugwump, who
votes by whim or prejudice"
He declared that the movement to
higher levels Is seen in higher purity
Of political life, and the private life Of
legislators.
There was a day when 1t was not
regarded as disreputable for q member
of Congress to be seen intoxicated on
the streets Of Washington, and when
he had no shame when charged with
winning money at the gaming table" T"
the Secretary added in this connection.
Talking Of conservation. he declared
that this country had prospered largely
through the conservation of the Al
mighty" and laid down the principle
that "the nation that exploits all its
possessions in one generation IL grind
ing the seed corn"
The new vision of the nation, he do
clared, includes the view that every
man Is his brothers keeper"

wedding presents from the mailing
room over to the Mansion. and Juggling
boxes OF wedding invitations from the
Mansion back to the mailing room.
The President is very good natured
about 1t all. At the same time, how
ever, he appreciates his limitations

women, but, failing to find any evidence,
released them. The American minister
at Havana made an investigation at
that end. and reported to the State

SIDDONS FAVORS
AN ABATTOIR HERE
Commissioner Thinks Washing
ton, Because of Government,
Is Best Fitted for Plan.

Washington, because Of its peculiar
local government, is better fitted tc
have a municipal abattoir and marke,
than any other city in the United States
This Is the opinion of Commissioner
Frederick L. Siddons, and he expresses
the belief that such an innovation In
the Capital would at once work de-
sfrable change in the price Of food
stuffs as well as enable stricter health
and sanitary regulations to be made re-
gariing the handling Of meats and
other foodstuffs.
with Congress having the plenary
power that 1t does over the government
of washington, there is every reason to
believe that a municipal market and
abattoir could be conducted most sue
cessfully," said the Commissioner. "At
present our District markets are mis-
duct the market, but merely acts as
landlord and leases the ground to priv
ate firms or corporations"
do you believe that a market would
be more easily controlled and regulated
If owned by the city than If privately
Most assuredly." he replied. For
example, in France, and, I believe. in
some Of our colonies, the collection Of
public revenues was at one time farm
ed OUT TO private pcrSouS. lhis gave
rise to innumerable difficulties, and
there was so much graft and chicanery
developed that the system had to be
abandoned. On the same principle,
believe that II the slaughter Of animals
and the sale OF food could be directly
controlled by the city It would be most
advantageous.
'.Of course, there IL q limit to what
the governmental function should be,
and this idea should not be applied too
generally. But as for markets, Of
which We are speaking, believe that
the city should regulate them In every
detail.
stThe small farmer IN the East has
largely given up raising live stock
and meat combines have had to do with
this I cannot say, but at any rate he
has had to depend on intermittent buy
ers to dispose Of cattle, hogs or sheep
In small amount, and higher prices have
resulted. As pointed out by DR.. Gallo
way and other officials OF the Depart
ment of Agriculture an abattoir here
in Washington would assure q perma-
nent market to neighboring farmers
and would to 8 large extent, at least,
eliminate any evils resulting from trust
controlled prices"
In conclusion Commissioner Siddons
said that he had made q tour last week
Of the markets Of the city in company
with Dr. B. L. Wallace, who has the
double distinction of being the dairy
and food commissioner and the state
seaJer of weights and measures OF
Idaho. DR.. Wallace, said the Commits
sioner suggested several changes in
methods used in handling and selling
food in Washington, and many Of these
would come as q matter OF course II a
municipal market became fact.
