France is taking up seriously the problem of her 2,000,000 marriageable girls, who as a result of the war's losses can, never hope to have hus- bands, About the economic future of these girls and women France is not worry- ing orrying Inuch. She is convinced they will have no difficulty in taking care of themselves. The 2,000,000 vacancies created in French economic life by her killed and mutilated during the war will afford them opportunities for becoming self -dependent. But what does worry France is this: • At a moment when the future of the French race is threatened by a death rate that exceeds her births and when the national economic life Is handicapped by a shortage of human beings, those 1 wo million potential • mothers are condemned, to unproduc- tiveness. Same Problem in England. The problem in France, thus set forth in a despatch from Henry Wood, United Press staff correspondent in Paris, has its counterpart in England, where the oversurplus. of women num- bers 1,500,000, and is growing rapidly, with an incident decrease in the male birth rate, and the female preponder- ance already has caused the crumbling „ of old ethical standards. Statiticans say that .chances of every English woman finding her proper mate has long since passed. Meanwhile the labor market is depriving the nation of its best potential mothers, the social butterfly, both male and female, is more prevalent than ever and scientists, despite great efforts, so far have failed to devise a remedy. Specialists studying the subject in France see only two alternatives, gays the United Press correspondent. Either France mast overcome, the pre- judices and customs which in all civilized countries have always sur- rounded the "natural child," or child born out of wedlock, or else France must consent to these two million , girls and women finding husbands among foreigners. This latter solu- tion would of course mean tiro begin- ning of the enol of pure French blood and race. Ma-u'ice-de Waleffe, one of the best known French writers and a specialist on the subject, thus discusses the Problem: "Aside from the 1,500,000 losses during the war that concleum to sterility a corresondiug number of French women, two other causes bring this total up to two million. First, there is the established disproportion between male and female birth, our French statistics showing 107 baby girls for every 100 boy babies. Second- ly, there is the increased cost of liv- ing which is driving large numbers of men to celibacy. We can, therefore, estimate at two million the number of French girls for whom no husband is possible. 'But what worries us is the four or five million babies that we could nor- mally expect from these two million women. That is the wealth that we must seek to save in onr present alarming state of decreased natality. Two Courses to Pursue. "There are only two ways and only two ---not three, Between them we Must choose. Either we must accept • the natural born child or else we must accept a. foreign child. "If we want to conserve the purity of the French blood and the French race then we must accept the natural child, which will necessitate the com- plete and active protection of its girl - mother, with maternity homes and the Ima.terial welfare of child and mother ssuured over a period of several months. Finally without entrance formalities and without incongruous publicity the child must be adopted by the State. "If this solution proves' shocking, for it of course entails the abandon- ment of a very old prejudice that has very respectable roots, then we must • favor marriages with foreigners, but • in this case we Must theta do every. ;things possible to oblige the husband to occupy life wife's fatherland and to become installed there so that we nay have the fruits of their marriage.

When add to cotton, which is already loaded with oxygen, oil, which is also loaded with oxygen, the excess of oxygen is likely sooner or later to make the cotton burst into flame. That is how spontaneous -combustion occurs among oily rags. The Cause of Failure. Td be successful, farming mun b made a business. Failures an farm ing are as often due to negleetie the business side as to any oche cause. Farmers who neglect to kee exact records of their receipts an expenditures should ponder the :fol lowing extract from'- the •I''ebruar "Teller," issued by the Sterling Bank "When asked recently by the Na tional 'Association of Credit Me what in their opinion was the the. cause of business failures, 10,00 merchants replied ;almost to a man 'Failure to keep books.' About th same time, another investigatio among 6,000 merchants taken a random from all parts of the coup ty showed that only 10 per cen kept records that 'told them: Wha they had' in stock; what profit the were making; what their expendi ture was Tor selling, advertisin and other items of overhead; wha particular part of their busines ,,was profitable or unprofitable." Every farmer who does not kee books should make up his mind t begin. Send to the Commission o Conservation for a free copy of th "Farmer's Account Book." JOY AND GLADNESS FOR THE CHINE Every child ---whether it be poor o rich—is entitled to joy and gladness Health is the birthright of all an there is absolutely no doubt that th healthy baby" is a happy baby. It 1 the baby's nature to be happy—no cross. Only the sickly baby is cross The well child is a joy to the home it is a laughing, gurgling, happy littl piece of humanity which drives dul care from the household. The sickl baby is the opposite—he is cross and Peevish; cries a great deal and is a source of constant worry to the mother. But mothers there is no need of your little ones being sickly. Regulate the baby's bowels and sweet en his stomach with% a gentle but thorough laxative and baby will soon be swell, and happy again. Thousands of mothers have proved this through their use of Baby's Own Tablets there is a smile in every dose of the Tablets. Give them to your baby and make hint happy. The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Nis Revenge. He was being demobbed and didn't care what happened. "Now, iuy amen," snarled the ser- geant -major, haughtily, "answer my questions smartly. What did you do fora living before you joined the Army?" "I was a clerk in an office," replied the private, Happily. "Washing out the ink -pots, 1'spose?" sneered the autocrat, "No, sir!" replied the private, sweetly. "We employed a retired ser- geant -major for that sort of work." Making Use of the Useless What to do with the amount of furnace slag that accumu- lates in the iron foundaries was suc- cessfully solved some timeago by an English concern, which has converted this slag into paving flags, paving tiles, bricks, ete. The process of making the paving Sags is about as follows: The slag is carried to a crusher having a capacity of about one hundred tons daily, where it is broken up and then taken to screens, where it is graded, the Coarse being ruu into cars to be used as ballast and the rest subjected to further crushing. The excess dust is removed by screening and used for the manufacture of tiles. The slag suitable for paving flags is mixed in a dry state with a,cenlent like material and then. water Is added and the whole thoroughly incorpor- immense, ated. A pressure of four hundred tons is exercised upon this mixture by a hydraulic pressand all tht moisture is :forced out, leaving a hard, dense block of uniform character. A different cementing material is employed in making tiles from the dust, the effect being to give the mix- ture a certain amount of plasticity which. allows. It to be moulded by me- chanical means and permits it setting into a dense mass. If rapidity of pro- duction is desired the action of set- ting can be accelerated by artificial means and the goods, made ready for use within twenty-four hours. The ad- dition of coloring matter allows the construction of building blocks of various hues. Experience with these slag materials shows that exposure to cold and frost has 110 effect except to produce a greater hardness in the material.

It was at Antwerp that `fhaekeray, who loved his food 104 well tss a.,y man, enjoyed one of the best dinners of his life, It consisted, he wrote, "of green pea soup, boiled salmon., muesels, crimpled skate, roast meat patties, melon, carp stewed with mnslil c nns and onions, roast turkey, cauliflower, filets of venison, stewed calf's ear, roast veal, roast lamb, stewed. cher- ries, Gruyere cheese and about twee • - ty-four cakes elf different kinds; Ex- cept five, thirteen and fourteen., I ate all, with three rolls of bread and a score of potatoes." Those twenty potatoes that Thacke- ray enjoyed at Antwerp to maintain his six -foot -three of hulk remind one of... the dreadful disillusion of Char- lotte laroute when she carne to Lon- don and sat opposite her literary man at dinner. "Oh, Mr. Thackerayt" she cried In shocked surprise as she watched him eat. She had never imagined a hero who ate potatoes by the score.
