These are the main conclusions to he drawn from the latest Book of Numbers— the Statistical Abstract for London. 1917-1926 — which has just boon published hero. From a welter of figures and compilations, a number of very interesting facts throwing light on the changes that take place in a largo metropolitan area may be gleaned from the I volume. Death Rate Lower The death rate in the London area, | ihe book reveals, has decreased from 19 per 1,000 since 1918, and the infant mortality from 108 to 59. Less than 80 years London lost 157 babies under a year old out of every 1.000 | born. The present birth rate is almost down to the lowest war reading. 16.1 I for 1927, as compared with ih in 1918. Except for an increase in the deaths from heart disease and cancer, the mortality returns are lower than at the end of the war, but twice as many people committed suicide in 1926 as I in 1917. There were twice as many I suicides of men than of women. The year 1927 was the biggest marrying year in London since 1922. ' The total of 41.301 marriages is nearI ly 2,000 higher than that for 1917. it is commonly believed that people are ' marrying later in life, but this book reveals that approximately 5.000 Lon- | don girls marry before they are ' twenty-one every year. Better Living Vast increases in the supplies to 1 London markets of meat, poultry, provision, fish and fruits indicate that Londoners are living better and enjoying a more varied dietary,than before. There has been an increase in the number of street accidents, suggesting that the hazards ’of life have increased with the passing years. Londoners read more. The issues of books for home reading at the libraries rose between 1919 and 1926 from six millions to almost thirteen millions, and the issues for reference from 798,592 to 2,228,579.

AVOID UGLY PIMPLES A pimply face will not embarrass you much longer if you get a package of Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets, The skin should begin to clear after you have taken the tablets a few nights. Cleanse the blood, bowels and liver with Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets, the successful substitute for calomel; there’s no sickness or pain after taking them. Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets do that which calomel does, and just as effectively, but their action is gentle and case instead of severe and irritating. No one who takes Olive Tablets is ever cursed with a "dark brown taste," a bad breath, a dull, listless, "no good" feeling, constipation, torpid liver, bad disposition or pimply face. Olive Tablets are a purely vegetable compound mixed with olive oil; know them by their olive color. Dr. Edwards spent years among patients afflicted with liver and bowel complaints and Olive Tablets are the immenselyeftective result. Take nightly for a week. See how much better you feel and lixik. 15c, 30c 60c.
