But the statistics go on keep th the prrrentaite up. for the report Thursday of Mrths on January I showed sight girls and only two boys, making a Vtal up to the end of the second day of Yirrten prlrls and three toys. Colonel Barker consented to give eut an nlervlew on the phenomenon. "Willi the number Is greatly at variance a-ilh the usjal proportion of births I at aath no great Importance to It," h said. "I am not an alarmist and I believe the proportion will be adjusted. The boys will hav their Inning and mill pull up their tt'erage close to that of the glrla.

Accor ingly, K is not claimed that Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna U the only remedy of Known value, but one of many reasons why it is the best of personal and family laxative is the fact that it cleanses, sweetens and relieve the internal organs on which it acU without any debilitating after effects and without having to increase the qiumtity from time to time. H acts pleasantly and naturally and truly as a laxative, and its component fiart are known to and approved by physicians, as it is free from all objection aHe substances. To get its beneficial effects always purchase the genuine manufactured by the California Fig Synii Co., only, and for sale by all leading drug gist.-' : ' tlflc mind and the calm brain of the statis tician cannot take cognisance of such the ories, which are merely facetious and Idle. "If ilie present proportion were to con tinue through the year It would result in the birth of 54 boys and of IMi girls. That would make a readjustment of the running of the city necessary or else the deportation of 2.0CO girla. With five girls In the city to every boy the men probably would b very popular. Then, too, there ould not be nearly enough men to go around In the present occupations. Women would have to step In and be ministers, doctors, lawyers, politicians, motor women, conductors, engineers snd so on. "True, viewed from the standpoint of the aesthetic instead of that of the purely utilitarian, the world would be greatly benefited. If there were five times ss many of the gentler sex as of the sterner the besuty 1n the world would be lncressed Just thst much and It would b a very pretty world. Indeed. "Still, I do not view with slarm the lop sided birth list, but look for an adjustment to the normal within a short time.' EVENT ON RtNNISiG TRACKS bleriaer, I to T. WUi the Foartk Bar at w Orleaas.
