neighborho DDS, with inadequate sani-
tation, the death rate was 271 1000,
or more than five times that of the
choice residential section of the city.
The report finds that only 46.6 babies
at 1000 die under one year of age,
when breast fed or at least three
months, as against 1858 1000 when
fed exclusively on artificial food.
Heavy employment by mothers is
also shown to be conducive to a high
Dlfant mortality. In one group of
Lineteen mothers whose babies all died
fifteen had been keeping dodgers,
which in these cases required the do
ing of heavy work, the woman gener-
ally doing the washing and ironing
for the lodgers besides buying and
preparing their food. A high rate of
infant death was found in coincidence
with neglected streets and unsanitary
| housing. In houses where water had
to be carried in from outdoors the in
FAINT death rate was 1873 a 1000, as
against IFS a 1000 where water was
piped into the house.
These findings were based on an in
vestigation of conditions in Johns
| town, Pa, which was chosen because
there are no large women-employing
industries, because its system of birth
registration is good and its size suit
aule to the limited staff that could be

it was too late for medical aid to be
of help. He soon lost conscious
ness and the end came about o'clock.
For time he was able to answer
questions, but steadily refused to
state what he had taken and it was
only by making inquiries down town
that his people learned that he had
purchased the arsenic couple of days

family moved to Missouri, where they
resided until twenty-three years ago,
when they came to Durango to make
their home. He entered the local high
school and graduated with the class
of '96.
His father died several years ago,
leaving him well fixed in the worlds
goods. At one time he was connected
with the Local Security company ard
more than once served in the capacity
of deputy district clerk. Recently he
had not been employed except as sec
retary of the different Masonic lodges
and looking after his real estate in
terests and time hung heavy on his
hands.
For two years past he had not been
well, He suffered with headaches and
insomnia. Recently the physical af-
flictions grew worse and untitled him
to meet the other troubles that were
his portion and combined to produce
the tragedy.
In addition to his Durango relatives
he is survived by a brother, who is
resident of North Dakota. The fu-
neral will be held from the family
home in North Durango Wednesday
afternoon at 2 o'clock, under the aus
