PRENATAL CLINICS
QUITE SUCCESSFUL
Report Made by DR.. r. III.
Riley, State Depart
ment of Health

The past five years have been
particularly favorable ones for
Inotner5 and babies in Maryland.
This is shown by figures as
sembled by the State Department
OF health and announced by DR..
r. H. Riley, director of the De-
partment.
Beginning in 1885. DR.. Riley said

These yard sticks show that in

there were five maternal deaths
The next year. and in 1887 and
1898 there were four maternal
deaths to each thousand live
births. According to provisional
S. the number dropped still
further in 1899 and it is hoped that
the final record will show that
there were only a little more than
three maternal deaths during the
wear. to each thousand babies born
alive
The total maternal deaths year
by year for the last five years IN
MARYLAND. were: 1876 in 1885; III
in 1896; 12O in 1887; ia in 1888
and 80 provisional, subject to cor
rection) in 1889.
The total maternal deaths in the
State last year were almost evenly
divided between Baltimore CITY
and the counties. The 40 deaths
charged to the counties were re-
ported from II of the % counties.
Six of the counties - Calvert, Car
oline, Carroll, Charles, queen
Anne's and Saint Mary's - lost no
mothers from conditions incident
to child birth, during the year.
Calvert and Caroline counties have
rad no maternal deaths for the
last three years and Saint Marys
is on the honor list in this respect
Tor the last two year.

In 1899. over 2,400 eXpectant

Sometimes people say that the
true year has 365A days. That is
close to the fact, but is not quite ex-
act. II you want the exact length
of a year, here 1t is-365 days,
hours, 48 minutes and 451a seconds
In ancient times 1t was a custom
In some places to count time by the
moon. Twelve Or 13 moons Cor
"moonths" or "months'D made q
year. That led to all sorts Of prob
lens. A 12-moon year was too short
and a 13-moon year was too long.
When a 365-day year was chosen,
people came closer to having the
right year. Yet that extra part OF
a day kept adding up. In the spece
OF 400 years it made q difference OF
81 days! The old summer season
was changed to spring. spring was
changed to winter and winter to

leap year idea grew up. One year
