INFANT MORTALITY
 HITS FRANCE HARD
Death Rate Among Babies Is
 17 Per LOGO

Paris, Sept, 1S Grp ---- Too many deaths, and not too few births Is said to be the real cause of Frances dwindling population, This is just beginning 10 be brought out by as- soclaiions formed to combat the tendency toward depopulation of the country.
 The French birth rate is com naratively the same as that of other countries. Compared to Eng land it is 19,4 per 1000 against 19.7 per 1000: but the French death rate is 17. per 1,ooo against 1l,s for England, according to figures for 1923 just made available.
 Infant mortalnty in France has the appalling high rate of 9s per thousand. This is attributed to ignorance and defective hygienic conditions which Minister of Health NJ. Durafour is seeking to combat hy education and an active health campaign.
 The venerable French statesman. M. Clemenceau. recently received 8 call from an unemployed working man who showed the Father of Victory his discharge papers from the army, in which he served throughout tho entire war with great distinction.
 ClcmenCeau greeted the ex- service man chcerfully; spoke with him q long time about incidents Of the war and then dismissed him with 3. 2o-frac note and good wishes that he would find job soon, Twenty minutes later the old | statesman went out for his morn- ing constitutional and. passing the corner of the Boulevard De Lessert, about loo wards from his little home. in the Rue Franklin. caught sight of his recent visitor sitting placidlY on the terrace Of a side walk cafe indulgins in hs third glass of cognaC.

 He has few close personal friends, but enjoys the unlimited devotion of those he has made. He is admired for his financial ability some of his admirers even term 1t genius. His courage and energy arc proverbial, but the predominant emotion he has inspired during the course of his turbulent political career Is fear rather than love.
 A few days ago upon entering his automobile at the Ministry of li- nance, the huge wolfhound that al- ways Is seated beside the chauffeur snapped at one of the correspond. ents who were talking to M CaillauX.

 "Made Ills Mark" In Concrete
 American tourists have found an other place of interest to visit in Great Britain in Abergede Castle, the Prince of Wales Scottish resi- dence near his fathers estate at Bal moral The particular object of curious interest is an unpretentious footprint of Wales in a concrete walk made when the royal heir was seven years old
 The story is that for e4 years the existence of the hoyish footprint was known only 10 the prince and two servants who were present when it was made, but the secret became known to American tourists last year. Now this once quiet and all most deserted estate is said to he swarming with sightseers and the castle attendants are kept busy pointing out the princess youthful pedal mark.
 Abergeldie often vas visited by the prince and his parents before the latter became king and queen and the tale is that the young prince one day bounded across the turf and on to a newly laid pavement before q nurse and policeman could stop him.

Make your cake with Snovdrit- grease the pans with Snowdrift-and make the icing with Snowdrift-
 Make doughnuts with Snowdrift- and then fry the doughnuts in Snowdrift,
 Every use for q shortening Of frying-fat is an opportunity to find out how good Snowdrift is. And using Snowdrift in your own favoritc recipes is the best way of all to ind out how much better it IS than any fat you cvcr used before.
 The Wesson Oil people make Snowdrift out of oil as good as fine salad oil-hardcncd and whipped into creamy white fat-and packed in an alright can to keepit as sweet and fresh as the day it was made.
 Try it in your favorite cake.
 It is much easier to cream because it is al- ready So creamy itself It is so delicate that it makes your cake very rich without changing the flavor. It is 1oo9o pure fat, without salt Of water, so add pinch of salt if you have been using butter in your recipe.

Try Snowdrift in pic-crust tender, Aaky. Snowdrlft may not make you better cook, but the family are likely to think so,
 Fry in Snowdrift and see how delicious and wholesome fried food can be. A crispy brown crust forms so quickly that the food does not absorb too much fat and, inside this thin crust, cooks to a tempting light ness and daintincss.
 Snowdrlft is very ec conomical as irving fat especially in deep frying. Strain it, to re- move any crumbs of food, and you can use it vcrand over gain forfrying different things.
 This is true to some exttnt>of any fat. But here is one advantage of Snowdrift. It will not absorb the odor or flavor of any food cooked in it-not even fish nor onions. You may use it over and over again.
 And Snowdrift is not altered much by heating to cooking temperature. Much cook ing fat has to be thrown out after you have used it a few times. But Snowdrift is altered so little by heating that you can use 1t up and not waste it. It is almost as good the last time you use it as the first.

INSULATION CUTS COST
OF HOME in FUEL BILLS

Pocahontas coal cost 81 a ton in
1910. Then the owner of the aver
age little house, that could be heated
with ten tons Of coal year, could
not afford to insulate his home
against heat-loss. Insulation was a
subject that concerned only the owner
of large mansion.
But last winter. in an average mid
western city, Pocahontas coal cost
$1,000 ton. Whereas it cost about
$40 year to heat a six-room house
in 1910. it cost sos in 1924.
That's the chief reason why in,
sulation has become q common word
in the home-owner's vocabulary. Add
increasing fuel bills and maintenance
costs to high interest rates on mort
cages. and you'll have the reason why
the insulated dwelling is at a prem
ium on the market.

, engineers shortly before his death
said:
Our present structures are caus
millions of dollars worth of heat
The house of the future will b,
scientifically built from the standpoint
of heating"
The Bureau Of Industrial Research
at Washington has issued statement
saying:
THE fuel consumed in $1,000, O0C
homes in northern states is fully &C
per C, and probably so per cent
more than would be necessary II
standards were maintained in ma,
terials. Owners of buildings have not
been taught that heat is Transmitted
through lumber, brick and stone just
as it is through glass, but less rapid
ly. Many homes in America have a
fuel-cost equal in a period of % years
to the first cost"
SAVE ON FUEL
So we can answer our question on
the basis of economy alone. "Should
my house be insulatedr' the prospec-
tive builder inquiries. The answer is,
by all means If you do SO proper
ly, the cost Of the insulation will be
paid back to you within two or three
years by savings in fuel costs, and
then it will continue to save you
money as long as the house stands"
There are other reasons, too, why
every dwelling should be protected
against heat-loss. Did you ever re-
fleet on how much our habits, as a
nation, have changed in the last 10
or 20 years? The day of red flannels
is past; our wives and daughters
dress much les warmly than they used
to. And Of course they are in great
or danger of colds, influenza and still
more serious illnesses if their homes
are drafty, cold or unevenly heated.
COMFORT-INSURANCE.
Modern offices. factories and other
working places are steam-heated and
scientifically ventilated. So are
schools. churches and public halls.
Our children, our wives and ourselves
ore accustomed to ample heat, evenly
distributed, in other buildings, which
means that unless our homes are heat
ed the same way. we will be uncom-
Portable and subject to illness.
So insulation is "comfort-insur
ance." Not in cold weather only. For
insulation keeps intense sun-heat out
just as it keeps expensive furnace
heat in. Proper insulation is a year
round benefit and a year-after-year
economy. And if done properly it
isn't expensive.
