TO SAVE BABIES

There were iO7 fewer deaths in Del
aware during July OF this year than
during the corresponding month Of
1917. according 10 c. II. Wells. special
officer OF the Stale Board Of Health.
Beginning with that year there has
been a gradual decrease IN the death
rate. showing concmsIvely that the
money spent BY this department. has
been well invested. Mr.. Wells said.
, July Is always a bad month and
Tor that reason Is taken for purpose
OF comparison. In 1917 there were 32i
deaths in the State from an causes ;
27S in 1918: POI In 1919. and for last
July 2ii. 30 less than for last year.
I'VE are not yet able 10 give figures
on the death rate among infants. but
We do know that the number OF
deaths this year is way below that Of
previous years.
while the decrease Is very gratl-
tying we feel that much yet remains

ed nurse visit every poor mother at
the time Of childbirth and attend her,
or give instructions FOR her care, We
feel confident the present death rate
among infants could be cut in half.
