BIRTH RATE IS SLOW
Or. Bertillon Says Figures "SpeIl
National AnnihiIation."
GIlmmer Of Hope Seen In Passing Of
Law Abolishing Few Of Amazing
Formalities Surrounding Mar
rage In France.

Paris-Dr. Jacques Bertillon, head
Of the statistical department Of Paris,
declares that the birth and death
rates for 1910 spell national annihi-
lation The births were 774,35S and
the deaths 703.777, difference Of only
70.5S1.
The number of births is the lowest
for the past century, barring that for
1909. which was 1000 less In 1859
more than million children were
born in France. This figure remained
about stationary till 1868. when the
number was over $4,000. The births
exceeded 100000 for is years. but
fell to $1,000 in 1886. For the fol
lowing 90 years they exceeded 500. 900
annually.
During the past four years the fig
ure Of births has begun with seven
The increase in 1910 over 1909 Dr.
Bertillon considers Insignificant. The
decrease in the death rate also fails
20 give him any hope He points out
that It Is solely due to the dwindling
birth rate. The reduction is observ-
able only among children under one
year. The only reason. therefore, why
there are fewer deaths is that fewer
children are born.
Meanwhile, as DIR. Bertillon re-
marks despondently, the excess OF
births over deaths in the German EN-
pire last year was $4,000. as com
pared with under II 900 In France
The returns give him only one ray Of
hope A law was passed I'm 1907 abol-
ishlng few OF the amazing formali
ties surrounding marriage in France
II Is still difficult 10 get married in
this country. but II was almost i'm.
possible to do so before June, 1907
Now, for instance, man or woman
more than thirty years OF age may
marry in France without troubling to
obtain his or her parents consent
Before 1907 such consent, verbal or
written, was needed II the father
and mother and the two erandfathers
and grandmothers Of either OF the par
ties we're dead, that party could not
get married unless he or she produced

bears. These are still required II the
man or woman in the case be under
thirty
However, the IMPLICATIONS intro.
duced, such as they are, were sufi-
cient to send up the marriage rate
wonderfully. DR.. Bertillon notes with
delight that the number of weddings
celebrated in France last year-to wit,
300 2S9--is one OF the highest on rec.
ord since the passage Of the law Of
1907 The marriage rate has since
then gone up some 5000 a year.
Or. Bertillon has therefore some
glimmer Of hope that the birth rate
may rise, too. though he is the first 10
acknowledge that though French
people marry more that is no proof
that they will increase the population.

What you need is something to stir
up the liver, to arouse the gastric

remedy for this, and one highly rec,

it, is Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin,
