Cls3277,

Please take a look at the following graphs.

Infant mortality rate by year 1915-1995

Lifespan and adult illiteracy rate

Thank you,

This is good, as this is the data I want, but I need the data table
supporting the chart.  If you could find that data or recreate the
data in Excel, and find the data through to 2000, I would be happy to
kick in an extra $10.00 tip.

Thanks

Hello again  CLS3277,

All I've found in table format is Life expectancy.

1900-1999
Table 12. Estimated life expectancy at birth in years, by race and
sex: Death-registration States, 1900?28, and United States, 1929?99
http://www.lifeexpectancy.com/le_birth.pdf

AND 

See page 6 for selected years
Table 1. U.S. Life Expectancy at Birth, by Sex, in Selected Years
(in years)
http://www.ncseonline.org/nle/crsreports/05mar/RL32792.pdf

If you are interested in the partial information that I was able to
locate, you could lower the price of your question accordingly.
 
(You can change the price by going to "My Account," 
selecting "My Unanswered Questions", clicking on the question, and 
then clicking on "Change Question Parameters" to modify the pricing.) 
  
Afterwards, you can post another question, if you wish, to see whether
someone can find the remaining data in table form.

Sincerely, 
Bobbie7

Please post as an answer and I will give you credit.  Not quite
