WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1923 LIVES SAVED BY _ INFANT WELFARE Figures Show Value of Pre- natal Care Miss Sara B. Place, superintendent of the Infant Welfare society of Chicago, in her annual report for 1922, disclosd the remarkable progress made in pre- ventive medicine and social service --in Chicago. She stated that during 1922, 1637 ex- pectant mothers attended the 7 prenatal clinics operated by the society and that from this number, there were only two maternal deaths. Yet the Bureau of the Census an- nounces that its compilations of the or querpal causes for the 27 states for or puerperal causes for the 27 states fr which figures are available shows that in 1921 the lowest rate fr any state is 5.3 per 1,000 in Connecticut, and the highest 9.8 per 1,000 in South Carolina.
