In an address at London university
before the Child Study association on
Serving the Future" DIR. c.. w.
Saleeby, an eminent English scientist,
stated that he had it on the highest
authority that the increase in infant
mortality since the war began was al
most entirely due to the fact that
mothers had been drinking more alco-
hol--had, in fact, been using to kill
the future the money given by the ma
tic to save the future. people do
not realize" the doctor declared, "how
much of the finest food Is being de-
stroyed to make poison. 1t is the mad

may buy at the corner of the street.

must be provided for heating the
baths, as the temperature of the So

the nicotine and sulphur dips should
have a temperature of from 100 to 1O5
degrees Fahrenheit. If the bath is
hotter than this the sheep may be in

Nina Suffitt sat in her bedroom and
cried over a letter.
1t was nine in the evening. On the
morrow she was to become the bride
or an English nObleman. Viscount
Addisleigh was a very estimable young
man., very shy, and obviously half in
love with her. But both had been
dragooned into the marriage.
The days had gone so fast since the
engagement that Nina had had little
ume to regret. 1t was not until Jack
Tremont's letter came that the flood
tide OF memory came sweeping back
on her.
Five years ago they had been all
but engaged. He was a poor artist
then, and there had been a terrific
scene when her stepmother learned of
her friendship for the young man, and

they had had such gay parties Of

Il am glad to have seen you, Nina"
he said at length. "We had "A good
