ONE important question for legisla-
tion which will be brought before the
coming legislature is that of pro-
viding that children who are inmates
of poor houses may be taken out and
placed in suitable homes. This will

suit in much good to the children
who are so unfortunately situated as
to become paupers. There are many
bright and healthy children in the
poor houses that can be brought up as
useful and self supporting men and
women If taken care of at the proper

die, and informed his parents of his
folly. A physician was hastily sum-

DOUBTLESS advertising, like beef
steak, is overdone now and then;
but it is more frequently underdone.
1t is not kept on the fire long enough
nor turned often enough, and the
fire is not hot enough. One may
throw away money by placing his
money by advertisements in papers
without circulation, says the Fourth
Estate. Or he may lack the pecu-
liar gift of placing the matter be-
fore the public. Or he may not offer
