DECLINE IN INF ANT DEATHS
Higher General Death Rate
For Season Past.

Madison-Although the infant death
rate is usually higher during the hot
summer months, state records for
July, August and September, 1916,
show 1895 deaths, a distinct decline
from the average of nine years.
With the exception of slight vari-
alton each year, which cannot be sat
isfactorily explained, there is a mark
ed and steady decline in the number
of deaths among children under one
year of age during the hot months.
This is due almost entirely, declares
the state board, to better knowledge
of how to feed and care for young
children.
Total deaths for the quarter were
1852. This is 1,121 more than in the
same months last year.

DEER HUNTERS DECREASE
Wisconsin's zone Buck" Law Has
Showing Effect on Number of Ii.
censes Issued This Year.

Ashland - Wisconsin's zone Buck"
law appears to have a startling effect
in reducing the number of hunters. In
Ashland county, which is the center of
the deer country, only 1,400 licenses
have been issued this fall, as com
pared with practically twice that num-
Der in 1915. The prospect of securing
only one deer appears to have wrought
the change. The percentage of deer
killed and brought to the cities, is ac-
tually less than so per cent as COM
pared with former years, for whereas
in former years, hunters were quite
certain to secure either buck or doe,
now they cannot legally shoot at any
deer they see, but only at bucks.
IL addition to Ashland county's l.
400 deer hunters, hunters from all
parts of Wisconsin are in the woods.
Hunters say that there has been
such scarcity of partridges this year,
that closed season will be urged for
1917
