COKES STAY In
JITNEY CLASS
Only the Larger Size With Orange
and Cherry Has Gone Up--Lime
or Plain Syrup a Nickle

At last something has been found
the price of which has not advanced.
1t is coco cola, plain or with syrup.
The price of this beverage cannot ad-
vance until the expiration Of contracts
now held by purchasers.
In yesterdays Commonwealth it
was stated that local confectionery
stores were charging ten cents for
coco colas where any kind Of addi-
tional syrup was called for. That
was a mistake. Plain coco colas are
still selling for five cents. The
management Of one Of the leading
confectionery stores states today that
the small coco cola with orange and
cherry has been eliminated from the
menu and that the large size with
cherry and orange is ten cents. He
stated that should someone want the
smaller size with the cherry and
orange it will be ten cents. With
lime or any plain syrup the price has
not advanced.

INFANT MORTALITY RATE.

What is an infant mortality rate +?
The term infant mortality rate" or
baby death rate" means the relation
between the number of babies under
ore year Of age who die in one year
to the number of babies born alive
during the year, This is usually ex-
pressed as the number Of deaths of
babies which occur per 100 live births.
What is the infant mortality rate
of the United States? This can be
given only for limited part Of the
whole country, which is the recently
established birth, registration aera,
representing 81 per cent OF the total
population of the United States. II
includes the six New England states,
New York, Pennsylvania, Michigan,
Minnesota and the District Of Colum-
bia. The infant mortality rate Of this
area in 1915 was 100 per 1000. That
is, of every 10 babies born alive, one
died before ii reached its first birth
day. About one fifth of the deaths
occurring each year of all ages are Of
children under one year, "The course
Of infant mortality are mainly the re-
suit Of three conditions-poverty, ig,
norance, and neglect" says DR.. EN-
nett Holt.
There are three groups Of diseases
which together cause about three
fourths Of all the deaths among ba-
bies. These three groups are:
i. Digestive diseases, which cause
most Of the deaths Of babies in sum
mer Bottle fed babies are most otter
affected
3. Diseases due TO conditions af
fecting the child before or at birth
Some Of the causes Of these diseases
are;
/. OF the digestive diseases: Lacl
Of breast feeding, improper feeding
impure milk, carelessness Of mothers
hot weather, over crowding, ba'

NEGRO SCALPED
IN FIGHT TODAY
Days of Old When Indians Practiced
Such Things Brought vividly to
Mind This Morning.

The DAYS when the wild Indian roam
ed this section and scalped his enemy
to his heart content or got scalped to
the hearts content of his enemy have
long since passed but scenes enacted
on Market street this morning brought
viyidiy to mind days of old. A scalp
ing took place and yells that would
curdle the blood in the veins Of the
heartiest were heard.
Two little shine boys, both colored,
who work in . shine parlor on Market
street were playing this morning and
the larger rather "ran-it-over" the
smaller one. The little negro became
enraged took out his knife and hang
ing the point just under the right ear
of the other boy drew 1t quickly
around the base Of his skull to SINH
lar point under the left ear, complete
ly severing the scalp from the flesh
Of the neck.
The big boy grabbed the back Of his
neck and took to the street yelling
"Bloody Murder" and similar express
sions Of surprise and grief. He raced
the block several times before hc was
captured and taken to physician for
treatment. His wound is not serious.

2. of diseases Of lungs; Infections,
bad air.
3. OF the diseases due TO conditions
affecting the child before birth. Sick
ness in the parents, over-work Of the
mother, improper care before or at
BIRTH.
Because the United States differs
from other civilized countries in hsv-
ing us no general system Of birth reg
istration it is impossible to state with
accuracy our proportionate loss, but
we have the estimate Of the Census
Bureau that our actual loss last year
was about 100000 babies under one
year of age, Of whom half would now
be living had we, as individuals and
communities, applied those measures
Of hygiene and sanitation which are
known and available. Here is vast
and unmeasured loss Of infant life due
solely to individual and civic neglect.
1t was once thought that high infant
death rate indicated greater degree
of yigor in the survivors. Now it is
agreed that the conditions which de-
stroy so many of the youngest lives
of the community must also result in
and manning many others
and must react unfavorably upon the
health Of the entire community

! Danger of the enlistment of tuber-

ed out by DR.. Edward R. Baldwin, OF

he delivered here today before the AS

"At the request of the Council OF
National Defense" said DR.. Baldwin,
"this association has appointed Com
mittee of three, who are cooperating
in plans and dealings with the import
ant question of tuberculosis in the fu-
ture army of the United States. Is
it not fair to expect that the machin-
erv now created and in motion may
play It's part in the serious work Of
futurue prevention and relief of tub
erculosis during the war?
aThe experience Of the past three
wears with the armies in the field in
dicates clearly policies for this couri-

astrous results from the enlistment Of
tphercplous soldiers and sailors. Plans

Cincinnati, May 9--The war has
given new impetus to the campaign
against tuberculosis, according to the
report of DR.. Charles j. Hatfield, OF
Philadelphia, executive secretary OF
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis, read
here today before the general session
OF the associations annual meeting.
The fight against this disease, DR..
Hatfield reported, would be put this
year on basis of intense effectiveness
never before attained. This, he said,
would result from the associations
cooperation in the campaign with the
Council of National Defense.
One of the chief goals Of the Amer
lean anti-tuberculosis movement had
been attained in the last year, the sec
retary stated, by completion Of the
establishment Of active state orgarli-
cations in every state in the United
States. During the year field secretar-
les have assisted in the organization
or reorganization of state associations
m ten states. Organizations also have
been formed in Porto Rico the Philip
pine Islands, the Panama Canal Zone
and Hawaii, DR.. Hatfield asserted.
Another goal attained in 1916 was
the passing Of the 100,000,000 mark
IN the sale of Red Cross seals. At
present more than rs per cent. Of the
work of anti-tuberculosis organiza-
tons Of the country is being support
ed, DR.. Hatfield stated, by the proceeds
Of seal sales. It was reported that or
ganization Of school children known
as Modern Health Crusaders, organ
lzed two years ago, was now on firm
basis.
