I’aris.—An impressive picture of the
extent of France's achievement in re
storing her war-ravaged regions is af
forded by M. Loucheur, the minister of
liberated regions, in a public state
ment entitled "The Revival of France."
Official statistics of the destruction
caused by tiie war and the reconstruc
tion accomplished up to May 1, 1921,
the minister states, show that "the
France of today Is the same as France
of yesterday, and that in peace as in
wur she continues to work with stead
fastness, courage Hnd confidence.’'
After showing tlint 0,154,000 of the
(18,400,000 Frenchmen from 19 to 50
years of age mobilized during the war
were killed or wounded, the state
ment presents the following statistics
of civic reconstruction.
Inhabitants—Deported because of the
war, 2,500,278; returned to France,
1,075,798.
Municipalities—Abandoned, 3,256;
re-established, 3,216.
Schools—Before the wur, 7,271; re
established, 6,830.
Houses—Destroyed, 789,000; rebuilt,
10,213; repaired, 326,700.
Lund—Devastated, 8,240,000 ncres;

ments and trendies, (j,S31,000 acres.

stroyed, 4,7t>0; resumed operation, 3,-
045.
"France took up arms only in self-
defense. endeavoring at the same time
to maintain Justice and liberty for
the world,” said M, Loucheur. “For
nearly live years her richest provinces
have endured continual martyrdom.
And yet by her own means the ruins
are reviving, houses arise from the
I ground, fields are covered with promis-
| ing crops. The population* of the
devastated areas believe that they can
rely on the spirit of solidarity of all
those who have measured the magni
tude of their, snciltice and .pnder-
stood their tiniiuesHonable rigid to the

iii.i little bit of advice may .help
you regain your Health,
Strength and Vitality
Thousands of people suffer from nervous
ness. They are run down and miserable without
knowing the reason why.
They do not stop to think that much of their
trouble may be caused by drinking tea and coffee
which contain the drugs, thein and caffeine. When
you over-stimulate the system for any period of
time, the result may be nervousness with its
many accompanying ills. You may fail to sleep
properly and your sleep does not refresh you as
it should.
Postum. made from scientifically roasted
cereals, will help you to overcome all these
conditions. For it contains only healthful sub
stances, instead of drugs, as are found in tea
and coffee.
Postum helps build sound nerve structure,
by letting you get sound, restful sleep.
In ffavor, Postum is much like high-grade
coffee. In fact there are many people who pre
fer Postum for its savory flavor alone.
Order Postum from your grocer today.
Serve this rich, fragrant beverage for the family.
See how the children will like it, and how much
better everybody will sleep at night.
Postum comes in two forms: Instant Postum (in tins)
rrttule instantly in the cup by the addition of boiling water.
Postum Cereal (in packages of larger bulk, for those who
prefer to make the drink while the meal is being prepared)
made by boiling for 20 minutes.
