with donounoing the Chicago platform as
the expression OF anarchy, Reputation and

When q young man asks father for his
daughters hand in marriage, if the father
is a wise one, he thinks of one thing equal
ly as important as the young mans morals,
social and business standing and intelli-
gence. A young man who suffers from i'll
health has no right to marry until his health
is restored. To do so is to commit a crime
against the human race While all diseases
may not be directly inherited, the constitu-
tional tendency to acquire them is inher-
tied. If man is consumptive, the
chances are that his children will have
weak, undersized lungs and predisposi-
ton to acquire the same disease.

chitis, weak lungs, splitting of blood or any

Of observations, DR.. Gerhar6t Schott
draws the conclusion that the SO called

current west of 40 degrees west, and
has no rapid movement east of go de-
grees west, that the Labrador current
does not anywhere touch the seaboard
of the United States, and has nothing

the great banks there is practically no
current. The warm and cold streams
