Nothing viii do any great good that is
based on the principle OF taking children
from their parents. If man and a woman
are not fit to be trusted with the upbringing
of their offspring, they ought not to be al
lowed to have any children. Mr.. Arnold
White pleads for 1.-The sterilization of the un-
fit" but the plain English of it is that tho
human pair who bring child into the world
for whom they cannot provide food, clothes
and lodging are criminals, and should be
punished as such. The immense responsible
ity of parenta5e can only he borne by par
ents. 1t cannot be thrust upon the state
Tint has been tried often enough, with no
other result than that of organizing infanti.
eide.
The existing foundling hospitals-in Rus
sia, for instance-are simply massacre shops
for nearly one-hilf their luckless inmates. 1t
sounds excellent and philanthropic and al
together admirable that the state should I'M
dertake the mothering and fathering of those
children whose own parents are unfit or in
capable but it would really be kinder to le-
SalIze infanticlde sans phrase. 1t is true,
that baby killing has ceased to be regarded
as murder In London, but we have not vet ar
rived at the point where the state can deli
berately decree the extinction of the life even
of the rickettiest infant born in an East end
dosing ken.
Under the reign of science and evolution,
and the decay of the old theological bolts and
bars against homicide, we may come to that,
but as YET the old religion, with its concep-
tion of the soul, is still sufficiently potent to
forbid the direct road followed by the an
clients. Nowadays infanticide to be respect
able must be circuitous. The question today,
however, is not how to kill, but how to save
science stricken at the spectacle of how the
poor live, will gladly cooperate with DIR.

the bilious stomach,
sweetens the breath and
cleanses thefurred tongue.
Children as well as adults
sometimes eat something
that does not digest well,
producing Sour Stomach,

give relief. So perfectly
harmless is this remedy
that it can be taken by

for 40 years proves it
