INFANTILE DEATH RATE.
NEW ZEALAND’S THE LOWEST IN THE WORLD. According to the statistics published by the American Association for the Study and Prevention of Infant Mortality, New Zealand has the lowest infantile death rate, the number being 76 per 1000; Norway conies next with 86 per 1000; and then the Australian States, except Western Australia, and Sweden. Chili has the biggest death rate, 362 peh 1000 ; with Russia next at 263. It is interesting to learn that the rate is much lower in Italy, Bulgaria, Servia, Spain, Japan, and even Ceylon than it is in the German Empire ; and it is surprising to find that the United States can give only “approximate,” because it is the only civilised country not having a complete registration of births and infantile deaths. It is also curious to note that, of the eleven countries with the best record, nine have given their women the Parliamentary, and in the other two the women have the municipal, suffrage.
