HEALTH OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN.
AUCKLAND, May 14. Dr. Purely, District Health Officer, addressing the Liberal and Labour Federation as one of a deputation from the Association for the Protection of the Health cf Women and Children, urged the federation to use its influence to obtain a grant from the Government, and in collecting subscriptions to enable the society to carry on and extend its work. He stated that of 1,242 children born in Auckland in 1907 only 1,111 survived. The marriage rate was also declining. It was of the utmost importance to preserve the lives of those born in the country by instructing young women in hygiene and how to rear children. The federation directed the executive to frame a resolution on the subject of the protection of infant life for consideration at next meeting.
