JUNE 27,1930.

Lower Birth Rate Due to Many Things BY MARTHA LEE Bince the last census there has been quite a lot of worry about the decrease in births. Since 1929, the decrease is recorded to be 3.6 per cent. Naturally, every one is interested In the reasons for this. One man insists that the decrease is due to our rigid immigration laws, which have cut down the foreign population in the United States. Meaning, I take it, that the foreigners are the citizens in this country who supply babies enough to keep up the birth rate. Americans counter with the statement that they prefer fewer and liner babies. Moderns contend that mass production of babies is not good for any one concerned, including the country itself. That the matter of keeping the number of babies up 1o the standard of former years is not half as important as being able to take care properly of the babies they do have. Another reason given for the decrease in the birth rate is that crowded living conditions, together with the increase of living costs, has made it necessary to restrict the number of children in each family. Surely living conditions in large cities do restrict the size of a family. The small apartments, a necessity in city life as it is lived in 1930, surely can not by any stretch of the imagination, be made to accommodate the average sized family of the nineteenth century. It costs a great deal more these days to rear children. There are educational requirements that must be fulfilled. And all this costs a sum of money over which the nineteenth century papa would have raised his hands in holy horror. Then there are those who say young married people simply don’t want to be bothered with children. That the decrease in the birth rate is due to the fact that too many married couples prefer to be childless. And there are others who contend that American men and women are not marrying as they used to. In other words, every girl

who has entered her twenties not necessarily is a br.de or an old maid. Plenty of these girls wait until they are well up in their thirties before they even think of matrimony. And the same with the men. Which cuts dovrci the large families. There probably is a lot of truth in all these answers. The reason does not lie wholly in one of those objections nor another, but in the whole group. And yet Mrs. Hugh Bradford, Sacramento, president of the National Congress of Parents and Teachers made a statement recently that this generation of matrons is producing the finest models of

motherhood the world ha* known. Surely today’s young mothers are examples of what intelligent training can do for childhood. Babies are healthier. Mothers are healthier. There’s some good in that, surely. I do not believe, as some of those who expressed their reasons for the decrease, that young husbands and wives do not want children. There is something too deep about the instinct of motherhood and fatherhood to ignore as completely as that. And besides there are two many young married couples in every community, with one or two babies, to smash that theory to the ground. Men and women still want chil-

What Do You Know About CHIROPRACTIC? THE UVER IS > VITAL OREM TWENTY-FIVE PERCENT of ALL the BLOOD of the BODY is CONTAINED in the LIVER when its VESSELS are DILATED. This is a STARTLING STATEMENT yet it serves to indicate the RELATIVE IMPORTANCE of this ORGAN in the GENERAL ECONOMY of the HUMAN BODY. The FUNCTION of this VITAL ORGAN is not CONFINED to that of DIGESTION. In the LIVER we find stored much of the BODY SUGAR which has been EXTRACTED from J the FOOD. As needed this is doled out to the circulations to be delivered to the other organs. It is however in the matter of DIGESTION that the LIVER is usually CONSIDERED and for that reason this PHASE shall be discussed here. Among other IMPORTANT DIGESTIVE JUICES is BILE. This material is formed by the LIVER in LARGE QUANTITIES and is poured into the DIGESTIVE TRACT as needed. Its purpose is to help in the DIGESTION of FATS. It helps also in NEUTRALIZING ACIDS and in acting as an ANTISEPTIC and a lubricant. ABNORMAL BILE SECRETIONS Should BILE be ABNORMAL either in QUANTITY or QUALITY it AFFECTS DIGESTION and this in turn has its EFFECT on the ENTIRE BODY. What is to be GAINED by giving MEDICINE for this CONDITION. Other people who DON’T TAKE MEDICINE have PERFECT LIVER FUNCTION. What do they have which you lack? Isn’t LOGICAL to reason that there is an INTERNAL cause for this ABNORMAL CONDITION? Isn’t it obvious that the procedure should be to DISCOVER that INTERNAL cause and CORRECT it? That is exactly what the CHIROPRACTOR does and his RECORD of SUCCESS in this TYPE of case is his BEST RECOMMENDATION. Many people do not realize that CHIROPRACTIC is successful in a wide variety of cases. This ’’Foremost Drugless Health System” has gained such astounding public favor because its BENEFITS ARE NOT confined to NERVOUS D'SORDERS and SPINAL CURVATURES. We reprint below a PARTIAL LIST of the more common ailments in which it is effective. Space will not permit our covering the entire list. If the reader is interested in some condition not listed here, he should consult his CHIROPRACTOR for additional information. Common ailments reached by CHIROPRACTIC: Acne Diabetes Influenza Paralysis Anemia gP ll T s y Kidney Trouble p neU monia . .. ... Eye Trouble Low Blood _,.
