COST OF LIVING
 IN FRANCE NOW
 IS SOME LOWER

PARIS, Dec. 22 (by Associated Press) There has been a well-d fined movement downward in the prices of a number of commodities in France since last March. Whether like the last decline in prices, it will prove merely transitory and be fol- lowed by reaction, sending prices soaring again, remains to be seen.
 Coffee is one of the latest commo- dities to decrease in the wholesale price. The decline, however, cannot be noticed at all in retail sales.
 Sugar which sold as high as $50 francs kilo now can be obtained at 3.75. The vice president of the French Grocers' Union explains that the fall is due to the decrease in the price of sugar in America and the re- port that Cuban wholesalers are pre- pared to export 100000 tons to Flu rope.
 Shoes also went down following a marked decrease in the price of raw hides. Raw cotton, wool and silks are among the articles, price of which has dropped.
 There are, however, many com modities which have not materially decreased in price, such as eggs, milk bread and meat

Hub Now Has 800, 900 Population
Boston. July 1o.-A compilation of
1920 census returns covering what IS
generally known as Greater Boston
shows that the population of Boston
and it's suburbs has now reached al
most exactly 100000. Unlike most Of
the larger cities of the country, Boston
has annexed very little of the territory
Immediately adjoining and has a total
area of only At. square miles, as COM
pared with 2S7 square miles in Greater
New York.
The Boston metropolitan district,
covering an area within fifteen-mtle
radius from the state house, includes
twenty-six cities and towns in addi-
ton to Boston proper. The 1920 popu-
lation of all of these except Water
town has been announced and the
total is 1854 for the suburbs
Watertown's population as recorded
by the state census of 1915 was 1855.
gain of 3,64o over 1910. If it made
a similar gain in the last five years, it
would now have 20,155 inhabitants.
This. added to the other suburbs and
to the 747,923 population of Boston,
would make total of 1,500,619.
The percentage of growth Of most
of the suburbs has been much greater
in the last decade than that of Boston
itself, due chiefly to the fact that a
far larger number of people whose
daily business is in this city have found
it more agreeable to establish their
homes outside the city limits. The
great majority of the suburban popu-
latfon is made up of people whose
work or business is in Boston. The
city of Lynn, with population of
99,14S, is within the fifteen-mile limit

THOUSANDS HAVE KIDNEY

An examining physician for one of
the prominent Life Insurance Com

made the astonishing statement that
one reason why SO many applicants for
insurance are rejected is because kid

lean people, and the large majority of
those whose applications are declined
do not even suspect that they have the

Says Indigestion Results from
an Excess of Hydrochloric
Acid.

Undigested food delayed in the
stomach decays, or rather, ferments
the same as food left in the open air,
says a noted authority. He also tells
us that Indigestion is caused by
Hyper-acidity meaning, there is an ex-
cess of hydrochloric acid in the
stomach which prevents complete di-
gestion and starts food fermentation.
Thus everything eaten sours in the
stomach much like garbage sours in
can. forming acrid fluids and gases
which initiate the stomach like a toy
balloon. Then we feel heavy, lumpy
misery in the chest, we belch up gas.
We eructate soud food or have
heartburn, flatulence, water-brash or
nausea.
He tells us to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead, get from any phar-
macy four ounces of Jad Salts and
take a tablespoonful in a glass Of
water before breakfast and drink while
it is effervescing and furthermore, to
continue this for a week. While re-
lief follows the first dose, it is import
ant to neutralize the acidity, remove
the gas-making mass, start the liver,
stimulate the kidneys and thus pro-
mote a free flow of pure digestive
juices.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice. combined with lithia and sodium
phosphate. This harmless salts is used
by thousands of people for stomach
trouble with excellent results-Adver-

Judging from numerous interviews
with live stock raisers and shippers
who are well informed, farmers here
and there have lost many fall and win
ter pigs owing to the continuous cold
weather. The dips to zero were es-
pecially disastrous to the new arriv-
ais and many who would have other
wise fed their usual quota will be
forced to either buy feeders or will
market less pork next fall. This ap-
plies locally, but it isn't likely that
the rest of the country has escaped
without similar losses, in greater or
less degree, throughout the corn belt.
These losses may show in stock yard
receipts next fall, especially should
the late spring crop be limited.
