OMAHA MMJS MOST PURE Statistics Show Death Rate of In fants lowest in Omaha. GOOD MHK IS THE REASON Jlrnlth Commissioner Secures Datn from SInnr Clllrn nnrt These nire the Ilcut TlntlnK to Otnnhn. Or fourteen of the largest cities In the fnlted States Omaha's Infant death Vate Is lowest, according to Health Com missioner It W. Connell and Dairy In. spoctor Claudo F. BosMc, who have, secured statistics from nil over the country. "The fight to decrease tho Infant death rate has been urged chiefly In the name nf pure milk," said Dr. Connell, "and the results secured by Omaha Justify tho bPllef that Impure milk Is largely the cause of the large number of deaths of babies under 1 year of age." Following Is a lis of the cities from which statistics have been secured, tho figures showing the number of deaths per 100 of Infants under 1 year of age: VAlv. 1312. 1913.

Inspector Dossle sold: "It has been proven that Impure milk Is the chief cause of the death of babies. Knowing this we aro seeking to secure the purest milk possible and wo are nuccecdlng. The death rate, I believe, will be still further reduced In 1DH." The Milwaukee record, Dr. Connell said, was undoubtedly caused by germ' laden milk. In that city Is was neces sary to employ trained nurses to caro for the largo number of stricken babies and to safeguard thoso who still retained their health. 6.2 7.0 9.8 10.2 10.0 11.6 12.0 12.0 .12.9 13.0 14.0 14.3 8 4 11.3 Mother and Wayward Daughter United at the Local Postoff ice For more . than three hours, a neatly dressed woman who had reached middle ) age sat In a chair In the lobby of the postoff Ice with her gate riveted on the: general delivery window. j It was shortly beforo noon when a tall brunette girl dressed In a long brown coat and wearing a heavy ton veil op lroached the window. Tho woman who . noa been seated rose win a nine cry m joy and rushing across the lobby em braced the girl. It was the old story-tho reunion of tho mother and her wayward daughter. More .than a year ago tho girl, having quit the high school before tho comple tion of the course, became ojmost Incor rigible at home. Tho family moved to Minneapolis, and here tho girl continued to go her own way. "She left lost June, and though her mother has heard from her the meeting wat tho first reunion ef mother and daughter since that time. The girl aspired to becomo an actress. The parents insisted that she completo her education. Then tho girl ran away. But seeking a career on tho stage wasn't such an easy task, after all. She visited for a time with relatives at Grand Island, her mother said, and then camo to Omaha. Her funds exhausted, the girl wrote to her mothor for money. The mother Instead of sending her money came to Omaha and watched for tho girl to call at the general delivery for her rnall. They declined to give their names, Tancock Condemns City J&il as Place Unfit for Any Good Following an, Inspection of tho city Jail, In which prisoners are' sent to serve short Sentences for petty crimes, Dean Tancock of Trinity cathedral condemned tho condi tions which existed there and declared that the surroundings were such as to inspire the worst In men rather than to return the prisoner to the world with an Inspiration for right living. "When I called at the Jail, It seemed that not a vcnttgo of -preparation had been made for tho care of the men," sa'd Scan Tancock. "They had no. beds and -were compelled to He on me stone floor. Tlicio were no toilet conveniences, nc chance for them to wash their hands and faces. The atmosphere of the whole thine -was disgusting, When I called Mayor Dahlman's attention to the situation, he ordered the relcaso of some thirty or forty men. It seems that a feud exists between the police judge and the prose cuting attorney, the county attorney, as to who shall determine whether or not tho prisoner's case Is a city or county affair. On those days when the county attorney dominates, the city jail is filled to repletion in spite of the fact that no preparation has been made there for the care of the prisoners. When tho police judge controls the situation, the prisoners are all sent to the county Jail, The mat ter should be settled definitely, for men cfusht not to be confined under such con ditions, even though he be a prisoner and serving a eenteneo In Jail."
