It is common knowledege that the a\`e1'ag'e life expectancy has been 1 raised chiey by the preservation of 1 infant life, comments the New York ` Times. Sixty years ago one out of every four babies was sure `.0 die in ` infancy. That rate has been vastly reduced. But there are those to point out that the so-called degener- ative diseases are on the increase. Modern medicine and sanitation keep alive the weak babies through midndule manhood, when the a1~`.icia11y maintained machines break down. What antitoxin saves at six months -heart disease claims at the age of for y-ve or fty.
