The young men of the place have
written our mayor. asking him to send

DIR. Jacques Bertillon Of Paris, has
given it as his opinion that alcohol
may be called the principal cause Of
consumption. He says that all France
is divided in two sections. North Of
the River Loire the grape vine does
not thrive and the fayorite beverages
are cider and beer IN that section
much alcohol is consumed, and tuber-
culosis is of frequent occurrence.
The other section is south Of the
Loire. There the grape fourishes. the
principal beverage is claret, and con-
