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.
Omaha 8.3
Halt Lake City 6.1
Indianapolis 10.2
New York City 10.5
Milwaukee 17.4
Pittsburgh 12.0
'Washington, D. C... 12.8
New Orleans 10.2
Louisville, Ky 10.3
Kansas City, Mo 16.7
Detroit, Sllch 12.8
Cleveland, 0 13.8
San Francisco
Philadelphia 10.1
Health Commissioner Connell and Dairy
Inspector Dossle havo been cooperating
In a campaign to still further rcduco In
fant mortality hero. 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.

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."
