Why Father Refuses to Have His
Sons Club-Foot Cor

Free Treatment Declined Because
Boys Defor1nity Helps Him

( 1t is common enough for crippled men
dicantss to use their deformities to enlist
sympathy, but it is not so common for the
relatives of such unfortunates to profit by
their MANNED condition. A case will short
" be brought to the attention of the au-.
thorities where an unnatural father not
only conhscated the earnings of a club
footed son, but objects to operation
that will give the boy a good pair Of feet.
because it would interfere with his money :
getting opacity.
Friends of the boy interested in put
ting, him on his feet have offered to pay
for&an operation, and if they have their.
way. the father will not be allowed to
stand in the way Of the boys welfare.
z For many months the boy has been a
familiar figure He may be seen daily
stamping his way about from store to
store and in and out Of the office build
ings, selling lead pencils and other useful
articles. 1t was the boys condition-not
his wares-that. usually appealed to his
customers, and he has had no difficulty
in disposing of his goods at such a rate
as to net him a omfortable income. If
he were the gamer thereby, no one would
object, but the. fact is that the father
pockets the big end of the proceeds. while
he gets a bare living. n. %5,ss.&s5 ;.

said it would be necessary Sto gain his

it would be impossible: for him to:have the
