MIDDLE CLASS DYING.
CHILDLESS MARRIAGES. POSITION IN BRITAIN. London, Nov. 10. A striking medical article in the Times, entitled "The Death of the Middle Classes" points out that the exorbitant taxation, high prices of food, and difficulties of housing are bringing about a new pressing national problem and putting a premium on bachelorhood, with the inevitable consequences of increased disease and immorality. The present marriage rate is 13.8 per thousand, the lowest ever recorded. The birth-rate likewise continues rapidly to decline l'rom the same causes, and is now 15.9 for tho whole kingdom, compared with 27.2 for the period 1900-10. Statistics for classes are unavailable, but overwhelmnig medical testimony favors the theory that the decline is most marked among the middle classes. COLD WATER AND FAIRY WONDER MAKES CLOTHES WHITE.
