FORTY-THREE MILLION LIVES Lost to World Through the Great War, According to Figures Given by Statistician. A study of the different statistics of the actual and potential loss of life due to the recent war reveals the fact] that about forty-three million lives have been lost to the world either di- rectly from the war or from causes induced by it, Richard P. Strong, M. D., writes in the North American Re- view. These losses are made up of, first, approximately 13,000,000 deaths which ocgurred in the military serv- ice; secondly, a surplus mortality above that which occurred in normal times in. the ecivilian populations amounting to approximgtely 10,000,000, due to epidemic and other diseases, privation, hardship, physical exhaus- tion, and similar causes; and thirdly,- a potential loss of 20,000,000 liyes due to the decreased birth -frequency below that which occurred under nor- mal conditions before the war. The adult male population in many Euro- pean countries -has 'been reduced by from 14 to 20 per cent. The figures of Alonzo Taylor show us that there are between 50,000,000 and 60,000,000 peo- ple in Europe who have lost their prewar occupations.owing to the fact that the markets for their products no longer exist, having been changed. or taken away from them by other countries. Many of these people have or soon will become refugees in Eu- rope, among which class of people not’ only poverty and hardship, but-al$o/ divease always reigns, resulting in ‘@ high increase In death rate and de- crease in birth rate,- " Adult Illiteracy In Mexico. TInstruction for illiterates in the ter- ritories of the republic of Mesico i8S | provided by a law promulgated Te-: cently. The law-authorizes the employ- ment of persons in every locality who will undertake the instruction of one or more illiterates. Children under: fifteen yvears of age who live in dis’ tricts provided with schools are not included in the application of the law. The American consul at Mexicall, Mex- |- ico, who reports the promulgation of | the law, states that it will not only tendeto uplift the peon classes, but it will also create a better feeling on our berder. Under the American immigra- tion law filliterates are not allowed to enter the United’ States, although’ their more fortunate fellow country- men may cross and recross the border at will. Cuba’s Varieties of Hardwood. Ouba has about 367 varieties of ex- cellent hardwoods. Besides mahogany and cedar, there are about thirty spe- cles of palm. The royal palm is prob- ably the most useful tree on the is- 1and, every part from leaves {0 roois being utilized by natives. Had Enough of That 'Kind. “As a skilled laborer,” said Uncle Eben, “I'm entitled to a helper, but I'd rather go wifout dan have any mo’ such successful crapshooters as de last one.” Strive to Excel. You are not true to yourself when vou are satisfied with doing what oth- ers have done. You may by nature, e fitted for very much greater worx than your neighbors. You may also be short on some points wherein they are strong. In elther case it would not be falr to measure yourself by them. There are certain things you can -surpass in. In_these you should ‘greatly excel it you attain your pos- sibilities. So measure yourself in the light of your ability and the oppor- tunities offered by the problem. Then put yourself to the task of hitting off 100 per cent efficiency in evéry at- tempt. Of course you will find it hard. If it were not, every lad in the com- munity would be doing what you arej trying to do. So look for results and see that you get them.—Exchange.
