BIRTH RATE IN FRANCE.
Latest Census Shows nm Excess of 73,-

London Standard.

London Standard.
 The official report on the population of France during the year 1902 has re- gently been published in The Journal Officiel. The births exceeded the deaths by only .73.106, which Is less than in 1902 (S3.944) and but a trifle more than in 1901 (72.39S.)
 The decrease, compared with the pre- cedinR year. Is due to the smaller num- Der of births. of which there were 1S.- 666 fewer than in 1902. On the other hand, the number of deaths has con tinued to diminish; in 1903 1t was 1928 less than in 1902. In 1903 the number of deaths exceeded that of births in 36 departments. whereas in 1902 that was the case in but 80 departments. and in 1901 in 33 departments. Compared with 1902 the diminution in the mum Der of births was general, as 1t ex tended to 73 departments out of the SO into which France is divided.
 The largest decrease occurred in the Nord. where there wee l,414 births fewer than in 1902; the Seine. 1.311 fewer: Pouches du Rhone, LOIS: Gard. S24. and Dordogne. 749. In only 14 departments were the births in 1903 more numerous than in 1so2. The

 Collars are lower than they were;
 better than this. they are softer. Wear the lowest and softest the styles will permit so as not to counteract the benefit of the exercises. Every morn-
 ing and night and between times if you can. go through these motions in your room:
 First-Throw the head back as far as you can. You will feel strain upon all the muscles of chin and throat. Sec that you do feed this strain--that the stretch Is enough for that. Now, keep ing the neck stretched all the time turn the head slowly to the left and right. If you are working to reduce a double chin you must increase the rap idity until you are wCCking fast; if you wish to fill out hollows, always move slowly.
 Next-Let the head drop forward un
 til the chin rests upon the breast. Raise 1t to a normal position. Lower and
 raise alternately. according to your special needs Third-Throw the head back, return " PcSASANA' SOAit'huC HI '" ' counts.
 Fourth--Combine the last two move | ments: drop the chin forward. throw | the head back, and so on in two counts This Is enough for the first lesson | You should have spent five minutes ir I the work: later on. you can keep 1t UT | for at least twice as long; steadily il | fat-with frequent rests, if thin.

+ When the double chin begins to show 1aself; when the flesh below the cheeks loses its firmness,: and unpleasant creases appear in the midst Of haobi- ness; then a woman knows that her utruggle with old Father Time must begin. She might as well acknowledge the fact, and if she Is a truly up-to- date woman she will not find 1t aolsa- xreeable one For modern science has taught her how to take up that strug- zle knowingly. so that she Is bound to win Mentally, she is far more fasci- hating than she was at twenty, and physically she may be just as much so If she will.
 It is all a matter of work, this of beautifying the neck. throat that Is fiabby cannot be made firm without Mork, and hard work at that. nor can h thin one be built out any more leasily: the point to be dwelt upon is, Sthat the desired result can be achieved tWith what is now known of physical ftraiqing, massage and skin foods. 1t Is not only possible, but absolutely sure tthat the neck can be brought to lovely scurves if a proper effort is made-ex- cepting, of course. in such cases as those of some disease which lays waste beyond any physician's power to check. Tor one which causes an abnormal growth of adipose.
 The same exercises work both ways fin the treatment of the neck, just as they do in the treatment of other parts Of the body. A sa prominent physical ttrainer puts it. Tt is all a matter of pace" By this he means that If the sexercises are taken at rapid pace so that they are tiring. they will burn away superhuous flesh; if they are taken slowly and never to a point where the fatigue, they will cause the ibuilding of new tissues.
 So whether the throat and neck be .too fat or too thin, you may take these
 exercises; but remember that you must take them easily in the later case tstrenuously in the former.
 There is no question that the high bcollars worn for so many years have done much in jury to the neck of the lwearers. It Is a commonly accepted fact that they have caused darkening of the skin and ugly lines about the throat Furthermore they have i'm peded the natural motions of the neck. iWomen have been holding their necks Btiffiy, and the natural exercise that belongs to every day living and is per-

to the Use of DuR's Pure
 Malt Whiskey.
 Mrs. Phebe Amelia Pratt, widow of William Pratt, yesterday celebrated her ninetieth birthday anniversary at her home, 166 Broadway, Chelsea. A reception was held from two to six. during which the old lady received numerous callers and was the recipient of many presents. She was assisted Tn receiving by Mir. and Mrs. George Pratt, of Stoughton; MT. and Mrs. Charles Fl. Pratt. of Chelsea; Mrs. Eugene Pratt, two of her grandchildren, Chester and William Pratt, of Chelsea, and Ida and Mabel Pratt, of Stoughton.
 The reception was planned by her relatives and the members of the First Baptist Church of Chelsea, of which she is a member.
 During the summer Mrs. Pratt wrote:
 "Gentlemen:-I am now almost 91 years of age and am in excellent health, owning to the use of Duffys Malt Whis- key Catarrh of the throat troubled remedies, without any benefit, until a friend induced me to try Duffy's Malt Whiskey.
 My general condition was very poor also until used Duffy,s' but am very glad to state that since using this grand medicine the catarrh has left me, my general health Is better than 1t has been for years. and know that 1t has prolonged my life. I most certainly would not be without it."
 This letter of Mrs Pratt was taken at random from among thousands re- ceived from men and women who grate- fully thank Dumy's Malt Whiskey for their wonderful freedom from disease and for their marvellous old age. Moro are published in a booklet, which you may have free by writing.
 Duffys Pure Malt Whiskey is a gentle, soothing, tonic -stimulant, which replaces the weakened, diseased tissues tones up the nerves. strengthens the heart, makes digestion and nutrition perfect. It purifies the blood and regulates the circulation so that every organ is made to do its work perfectly and fully, keeping the whole system in vigorous health and lengthening the days far beyond the century.

 wood sticks. With a penknife hatten the end of one, then round that tiny flat blade Once a day you must gent | ly push back the skin around the nail with this, and the half moons will soon appear.

a superabundance of it. The curve should be downward. outward, inward. Hard rubbing on each side or the throat will wear away the double chin and give flrmness to the tesh. Gehtle rubbing, with much of the skin food. will increase the fullness of a thin
 throat.
 The next motion is performed in this way. Place the thumbs' just be- low the ears and the tips of the fore fingers at the corners of the mouth. You are to work with the three re- maining fingers. Let them start at the tip of the chin and rub downward and outward Both hands should work at once. Of course the fingers are dipped in the cream.
 To fill out the hollows that appear at the base of the throat, or to reduce flesh at this point, place the thumbs against the shoulders, let the fingers of the two hands meet at the base Of the throat, then rub In circles. You can continue with this motion all the way around the neck if you wish. If you are too fat or too thin in all ways, you must not expect the neck to become perfect unless you assist It through the whole system. You must regulate your diet according to your l needs. and attend to your hours of sleep, your general work and general exercise.
 Very often correspondents complain of a yellow neck. This Is frequently
 the result of high collars. and the col
 lars must be discarded before any treatment can avail. After this. bathe
 the neck in lemon juice and water
 say half glass of water to the juice of one lemon. An application of colo cream and massage should follow. Dc not bathe the neck until next morn | ing, and then use cold water.
