ALCOHOL AND RACE SUICIDE.

Sacrificing hundreds of thousands of
its best men, old and young, in the
last year France finds itself face to
face with race suicide as an acknow-
lodged fact. For years it has been
warned, for there has been no civili-
zed country where births were so
questionable as France. Now that a
year of the war has decimated its
male ranks, France finds it imperative
to take steps without delay to prevent
further depletion and to remedy the
altogether serious condition which
confronts it. The interesting state
ment is made, in this connection, that
French births have decreased as alco-
holism has increased.
In the investigation of the causes
of depopulation, the canton of Creully
made house to house canvass in
search of data as to whether the de-
creased birthrate should be attributed
to physiological. psychological, moral,
economic, political or social causes.
In the majority of cases the cause
was found to lie in the. rapidly in
creasing consumption of alcohol. The
finding is so interesting as to de-
serve to be set forth at some length.
Here is the statement of one of the
Investigators.
What alcohol has done to the popu-
lation, formerly so healthy and ro-
bust, one cannot realize without liv-
ing in the region. PEASANTS in the val
ley of the Ague, who produce great
deal of cider and distill it at will,
drink at least pint of brandy per
day; some women as well as men
drink double that amount.
1t is with the coffee that the wo-
men acquire the habit. Whenever a
neighbor pays visit, the hostess Of
fers drop of coffee" the cider
brandy goes with it and after it until
the quantity SURPRISES by far the
quantity of coffee. No one thinks Of
stinting the cider brandy, since it
costs them nothing. Drinking at home

CHILD LIFE In VACATION.

For many weeks school schildren
long for their annual summer holt
day. They dream of the days when
they shall once more wander free
from all restraints. Yet, as a mat
ter of fact, many of them spend their
time hanging around and asking their
mothers what they shall do next
The lawless and irresponsible free
dom of vacation is detriment to
many children. They become petu-
liant if asked to give an hour day
to little tasks for the family conven-
fence Yet they are able to take long
jaunts and play necessarily in the sun.
Children that seem perfectly well and
self-controlled in the regular disci-
pline of school terms often become ir-
ritable and nervous in vacation, at
a time when they are supposed to
be receiving benefit from out door life
and mental relaxation

social workers that the modern child

when railroads can get an enormous
amount of excursion business if they
handle it right. They are sure of q
big travel anyway. But if close at
tention is paid to keeping people
comfortable as possible, railroad
jorneys seem less formidable, and
more people acquire the travel habit.
Pullman travel is universally con-
sidered about the most luxurious mode
of railroad journcying that the world
affords. But only the minority feel
able to afford the pullman for the
shorter trips. To pupularize the rail-
roads, everything needs to be done to
make the day coach as pleasant as
possible.
One great discomfort on the road is;
the crowding OF the cars. 1t is OF
course, too much for every passenger
to expect TO have whole seat to
himself all the time. But where a
man has to travel half day shar-
ing his seat with ano Their passenger
unable scarcely to stir without dis
commoding his seatmate, one feels
too much like a human sardine.
Liberal racks over the seats fol
baggage do lot to ease up on the
pressure. Some lines provide only
narrow racks running but a part O.
the way along the car. These sooI
fill up and late corners have to Jan
their luggage under their own feet
and sit with knees perched high il
air.
The provision of high backed seat
in day coach would do much to pop
ularize railroad travel. The princi
pal cause of WEAKNESS in train trav
ell is having nothing to lean bacl
agains. 1t flops around, jerked b,
every jolt of the car, and the effor
to sit up straight is a constant strain
The high back seats might slightl
lessen the patronage of the pullman
car, but they would lead the publ
to bless the railroads.

THE HERALD'S ADVERTISING
SCHOOL.

One of the greatest faults in ad-
vertising is the attempt to crowd too
much into given space. The eye
wearies of fine type. Life is busy,
and large bulk of closely set mat
ter is repellant. People will look it
over for they are keenly interested
in advertising. But they will not read
it as carefully as they would no
tice in large type. To many details
confuse the attention.
A great many firms in advertising
a mark down sale will specify large
number of items in every department
of the store, itemizing each grade
of goods and showing how much the
cut is on each item. That takes
lot of space. Usually it becomes nee
essary to put it in small type. 1t
would seem better to name speciffi-
cally only few of the items. A
line or two of space would be used
in irving a little terse information
about the goods, putting the whole
thing in larger type that is more at
tractive and restful to the eye.
This is no plea to the merchant
to increase the amount OF news
paper space that he is using. 1t is
a plea, after merchant has decided
what space he can afford, to handle
it in such way as to attract and
please the readers eye.
The caption placed over an adver-
tisement is exceedingly important
| Some merchants head it simply with
the name of their firm in big black
type. That stirs no particular in
terest. The reader is not interested
in the success of particular store
He wants To know how he can bene-
| fit himself. If he is in a hurry
he may only read the headlines of ar
advertisement. Unless the headline
suggests that it will be for his in
terest to read further, he might skiE

A more effective method is to give
an advertisement heading just as
if it was news story-as every
advertisement should be. The adver,

SUMNER CLOTHING FOR MEN

Men are always supposed to be free
from the burdensome trammels of
style. Yet those who work in stores
and offices sure wear through the
hot weather clothing that adds to
the discomforts of the season. The
creature that wears tight starched col
lars and haeavy wool coats on warm
day can never say anything to women
about subserviance to absurd fash
ions.
Farmers, machinists, teamsters and
other out door workers do not sub
nit to these tyrannical restrictions.
They strip to their tasks, and per
haps suffer less at their vigorous
effort than the swather and swad-
died men in the swivel chairs.
Old fashioned people always used
to have light linen or aplafa coats,
in which they used to pass the warm
weather in comfort. Many men Of
simple habits still wear them. But
the fact that they tend to get shape
less condemns them with some of our
tailor made men. A neat and trim
appearance is a fine thing for bust
ness man to cultivate But it does
not pay to look in the mirror very
much with the thermometer at 80.

leads to drinking in public, and this
perhaps accounts for the fact that the
communes of less than 1000 popula-
ton are 81 per cent of the total.
Whether drink may be considered
the cause of the decrease in the birth
rate or not, the progression of depop-
ulation seems to keep pace with the
progression of alcoholism. Where the
consumption of spirits was formerly
gallon and half a year per capita,
it is more than three gallons, while
the decreased birthrate, traced back
through many generations in the same
families shows a decrease from an
average of seven children family in
the nineteenth century to three in the
twentieth.
The finding comes coincident with
the nation wide request of leading
French women that alcoholic bever-
ages be still further prohibited by
law. France is face to face with the
| fact that it cannot maintain its su-
premacy either on the battlefield or
in the peaceful professions, and re-
main addicted to the widespread use
of alcohol. A year later than Rus
STA, it proposes, at this belated date,
to take steps equally summary and
