SAVING HUMAN VALUES.

Every true American may well ask
nation rears a man who by even the
moderate use of drink shortens his
life and his providing years. His
children may be left at the age when
the father is most needed; if INSULT
GENTLY provided for the wife may
have to go to worl-. Thus makes
doubly difficult the physical and
moral care of the children. If these
suffer, society in the future may be
loaded with the burdens of their i'll
health, inefficiency, or offense. The
child who has to go to work too early
because of the death or ~unproduc-
tivity of the father caused by drink
may start another cycle of social
weakness. From Alcohol in Expert
ence and Experiment.

Physical Degeneracy.

Interesting facts regarding the
question of physical degeneracy in
England have been furnished by old
tailor measurements. A firm in the
north of England has compared the
measurements for clothing made two
generations ago with those Of to-day.
the results going up show that chest
and hip measurements are now three
inches on the average more than they
were sixty years ago. The same CON
clusion is reached by the experience
of the ready-made olothiers, who, it
is said, nearly always find that the
present-day weaTers of clothing re-
Quire distinctly larger sizes than their
ancestors.
