oCtan Of the Board of Health the in
kpt mortality rate in this city for
month of July, shows a consid-
hble decrease over the same
knth for the years 1919 and 1918.
ks a well known fact hat July
Id August are the hardest months
which to raise children. especi-
~ those under a year old, and the
Ian was highly praised today by
Meath Ohicer DIR. Charles S. Thomp-
fon for what has been accomplish
td this year..
The infant mortality rate for last
month was S2.0S, compared with the
months of July. 1919. when the rate
was 1854 and July, 1918, when the
hate was 1904, some idea of the
great reduction may be seen. Dur
ing last month there were 1874
births and eleven deaths under one
year old. In 1919 there were sixty
nine births and thirteen deaths I'M
der one year old.
According to Health Officer
Thompson nc one can realize the
work necessary to be done by the
nurses in order to make such a re-
cord for the city. and oftentimes
they are confronted with considerable
opposition by the parents while doing
their work. Sometimes their intrusion
Nto the homes of those needing care
Id advice brings forth bitter OPP
|sition. Not only do they carry
educational work, but also have
IN called upon to do work about
The homes to make them sanitary
really is not part of the work
to them.
The board Of health, DR.. Thompson
claims, has also done wonders in
clearing Up the pools of surface
water that form in certain parts OF
The city and become foul and q breed
place for germs ans mosquitoes.
Through the work of this city board,
pools have been filled up in Harring-
street, Brace avenue, Cornell
street. Neville street, and Lawrence
with the filling of these pools
low lands with dirt the danger of
illness from stagnate water is a thing
the past.
One large pool or pond, 800 by $50
feet. situated at Mary street and
Donald avenue, which has been ar
annoyance for sometime as well as
4 breeding place for mosquitoes is to
be drained off. The pond is situated
IN six different pieces of property
and this fact made 1t difficult in
action taken, to rid the city
the pond. Work will be started
his week in draining the water off
md the drains will be so arranged, |
hat the water will be drained of
the future as fast as 1t collects.
Another condition hat is of general
interest is the fact that the city at
he present time is free of contagious
diseases. DR.. Thompson reports. The
asst Of scarlet fever patient Is at
the isolation hospital and viii 5e
