FRANCE COMBATS
BIRTH DECREASE
GIVES COMM sSloN FULL POWER
TO ACT FOR WELFARE OF
THE COUNTRY.

Paris, Nov. 30.--At last the govern
ment appears to have hit upon a prac-
tical plan for the investigation of the
causes for the declining birth rate. II
is hoped that the remedy also will be
found.
For years thinking Frenchmen have
been distressed at what has come 10
be described as the depOpulation OF
France. but all attempts TO arrest the
decrease have been half-hearted and
have resulted in measures that prov
ed Ineffective. Mr. Klotz. the minis
ter of finance, who worked out the
present plan, says that the problem
is one Of national defense.
II is now proposed to establish, un-
der the chairmanship of the minister
Of finance, a commission composed
Of experts i'm each branch of the sub.
ject who will be able to deal effect
lively with the social. military, legal
and scientific sides of the question
The commission win be divided into
five committees The first will take
up the administrative and legal side
anu lHiulif lilAb anu
marriage laws and the question of in
fanticide and kindred evils.
The second committee will consider
the military aspect of the subject, in
Guiding the effect of the birth rate on
recruiting and army organization. The !
third will study infantile mortality,
hygiene intemperance and tuberculo-
iis together with questions of assist
ance to mothers and of the proper
education of the sexes. The fourth
will study how best TO encourage the
growth of large families and how 10
assist those which have become too |
large for the financial means of the |
parents.
Another new postal regulation is |
likely to receive less popular approx |

luce documentary legal evidence of |

The Different Kind of Soap That,
in a nutshell, is Fels-Naptha
Different because Fels-Naptha is
more than a soap-it is a different way of
washing.
DiHerent-becausc Fcls-Naptha gets
the wash ready for the line in about half
the time of any other soap.
Diferent-because Fels-Naptha itself
does the work of loosening the dirt from
the fabric, which every other soap leaves to
you to do with the washboard.
Different because with Fels-Naptha
there's no backache: no need for long
bending over the tub, as with other soaps.
Different-bccause Fels-Naptha saves
the clothes (1) from weakening of the
fibre by heat 81 from the wear of hard
rubbing.
DifFerent-because Fe1s-Naptha
actually does in cool or lukewarm water
what the best other soaps will not do even
