Population of Germany.

Washington, March 16.-The
census office has received through
the State Department a consular
report on the population of the Ger
man Empire aud its changes dur
ing the past century. That popu-
lation is now about $4,000, 900
larger than that of any country in
Europe except Russia, which has
in Europe alone over one hundred
and six million subjects.
Since 1871, when the German
Empire was organized, the popula-
ton Of Germany has increased
about 80 per cent, a growth ex-
tremely rapid for an old country
and for one sending out large and
steady streams of emigrants.
The Germans take pride in the
rapid growth of their population,
says the report, compared with
that of their rival across the
Rhine. In 1915 France had about
36, 100000 Inhabitants and Ger
many 100000. Now France
has about 80, 900, 900, or only two
thirds the number of Germany.

Conso1ation ana Comfort.

Who is it that does not wish to be
out in the open air or alive in some
field of sport, whether it be with the
bat rod or gun; whether we go coast
ing over the hills and wales on the
wheel or sailing over rough waves or
into serene coves, it is all sport, and
the spring ing muscles seem to need it.
1t is bound to happen that some mis-
hap will occur. Thus it is that we
have sprains in abundance. Light
sprains, sprains that cripple, spra1ns
that give great pain, sprains that rob
of sleep, but sportsmen of all kinds
have come to know that. there is moth

sprain and restoration to the COM
