East Westmorland South Westmorland West Ward Totals The County Infantile Mortality figure (deaths of infants under one year per i,ooo births) for 1915 is 74, while that for Rural England and Wales is 98. A widespread interest in Infant Welfare work is manifest throughout the County. Many meetings of mothers have been convened in various localities to consider this question. I gladly take this chance to thank the ladies who made the local arrange¬ ments which enabled me to address the mothers on the “ Save the Babies ” campaign. My thanks are specially due to the members of the Mothers’ Union.
