INFANT MORTALITY Is LOWER
Efforts Of Health Officials During Last
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 a bulletin issued
by the children's bureau OF the De
partment of labor. 1t is the purpose
of the bureau 10 issue a similar bull
letin annually and in time 10 make
it a complete manual for municipal
and philanthropic activities in the d.
rection of child welfare. Summer
campaigns for babies lives have been
waged with such maryelously good
effect in some cities, that it seems to
the bureau important to enlist the
energies Of as many cities in this
work as possible. To this end it will
be helpful to 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 years
in reducing the general death rate
in cities, below that of the rural dis
tricts and villages. This reduction in
the general death rate is an encourag-
ing indication Of what is possible of
accomplishment in efforts to reduce
the infant death rate. Babies die Of
diseases which to a large extent are
preventable, and thus when welfare
work is directed toward saving their
lives the response is immediate and
decided.
