WE LIVE LONGER. NOW WADAYS STATE. BUREAU REPORTS.

ss Hartford, Nov. 16.-ttThere has been a considerable reduction in the general death rates the past few years with a corresponding increase in the dura- ton of human Iife,' says the monthly bulletin of the state board of health today, discussing Infant Mortality It continues:
 This has been largely brought about through the saving of life at the younger age periods and espe- eially in infants under one year of age. Only eight years ago the infant mor taIity in Connecticut was 140 deaths under one year of age to every LOGO living births, or one every seven births. This has gradually decreased so that during sthe present year the infant death rate will be about 1o5 every nine and one-haf births. One of the means by which this result has been accomplished is by infant well fare work
 Mortality records received by the board and published in the bulletin ing the month of October. This was 103 less than in September.
 The death rate expressed an an- nual rate per LOO estimated poplllss- ton was 12.7 for the large towns; for the small towns 11.6 and for the whole state 13.0. The deaths from infectious diseases were 155; being 11-8 per cent. Of the total mortality.
 Reports from health officers about the state show that there has been less typhoid than usual in the state during the past summer and fall. The monthly bulletin points out that the most unwor shy feature of the mor- tality report is the reduced number of deaths from that na1ady, there being only six during the month of october as compared with 12 during October of last year and 15 in October of 1912. Cleaner surroundings, better sanitary arrangements and the campaign against the housef1y have contributed toward this result Continuing, the bulletin says: 2
 "On the other hand, there have been an unusual number of diphtheria cases reported, although no more deaths have occurred than in the correspond ing month of the last two years.'
