Infant Death Rate Reduced. _
Novel Scheme of an Englishman Lessens -
sens Mortality.
London. - Alderman Benjamin
Broadbent , 1\1. D. , the retiring mayor
of Huddorsned ] , England , has just an.
nounced the result of the two years'
test of his nove ] scheme for the prevention -
vention of Infant mortality in his natIve -
tIvo part .of the borough-Longwood.
On takIng office us chief magis ,
trato , two years ago , Alderman Droad.
bent offered five do Hal's to the parents
of each child born durIng the period
of his mayoralty that reached the age
of 12 months ,
Instructions to mothers-somo of
which were suggested hy the princess
of 'Wales-were sent ollt , and the
mothers were visited by volllntary
women visitors , who. reported prog ,
ress ,
'rho Huddorsfield rate of Infantllo
lUortatlty had averaged 13J ! for ten
yenrs , and In Longwood ItseJt the av-
srage for ten years was 122.
In l\fa 'or Broadbent's two year 112
babies received the promlssor3' note
card for five dollars , Of that number
107 had actually received the gift ho
had offered. Out of the five left four
had dl d and one had been removed
from the 111 strict and ho did not know
whether the chll sun lived or not.
If ho coullted only the four dealhs
the figures were 35 per 1,000 , and If
ho counted the missing bab ' as dead
the 11gures were 44. These figures
compared very strlklngy ] with the
provlous figures of 122 per 1,000 for I I
I ongwood and he average of laJ ! In
the whole town of IIuddorsfioh1.
The oXIlerhnent has reducel the
death rate to much less than half.
Ills own estlmato of the result was
that It was astounding. For exactly
r
-
12 months-from October 9 , 1J05 ! , to
October 9 , 1906-not ono of the babies
on his list died undm' the age of one
year. The babies belonged to all

A fact not genera11y Imown is that

It 10 useless to repeat the well worn
argument of the mall order concerns
that they are se11lns goods enough
moro cheaply than the merchants In

their customers more money than

statement has been proved over and
