local board. "In the last few years. -
he said, =" ever since there had been
such an enormous canvassing going on
amongst insurance companies, there
had been wonderful increase in the
mortality among children" AS rule.
he found that the children were always
insured. The temptation to get rid
IF a child rather than maintain it is, to
many parents. very great at all times;
and when, in addition to being relieved
Of the burden of its maintenance they
can actually gain hard cash by is
death, the temptation may become il.
