Insurance Against Grace Suicide

The American Mothers Birth Insur-
ance company is a new insurance organ
ization Of which the object is to provide
for the payment Of q sum OF money upon
the birth of a living child. The benefits
planned are from 500 to $500, depend
ing upon the amount of premium paid by
the mother. 1t is organized under the
insurance laws of Massachusetts and is
to maintain a reserve fund.
The question arises, Will this sort of
insurance make any difference in. the
race suicide so much deplored by our
President and other statesmen? The ten
dency of the day in that class of people
who are supposed to be in sufficient finan-
cial condition to carry insurance Of this
kind is not to have children. Now, will
they look upon the insurance as a good
thing and set aside their prejudice against
offspring or will this sort Of an insurance
company have to depend upon the labor
ing class, who, as usual thing, cannot
afford to carry any great amount Of in
surance ?-Iowa Medical Journal.

Names for the Left-Handed.

In London, according to The Chron-
IIcle, the term for left-handed person is
kack-handed, the word being also equiv
alent to awkward; in Lancashire it is
handed, an expression dating back to at
least the Seventeenth century. In Derby
shire are used the terms keg-handed,
cork-handed or corky-handed, while in the
Teesdale district cuddy-handedisc common,
and in Nottinghamshire, coochy handed
In Dorset it is scrame-handed and in
DeVonshire coochy-handed. In Scotland
we find gawk- handed and in the west
cawry-handed. In Ireland left-handed
man is called kithogue. Not many
years ago Tim Healy used this word in
a speech at East Wicklow, in which he
said that Mr.. O'Kelly could fight with
his left hand, and had already given his
opponent some "kithogues' that would
spoil his political beauty during the con-

VaSeIine.

Everybody knows the great value Of
CHS remedy in the household, but every
body does not know that the initial tons
of it, which some second-cass druggists
dlshonorably palm Off on their custom
ers. have little or no value. What should
be understood by the public is that it is
not a mere question of comparative value
between "Vaseline" and the limitations,
but that the limitations do not effect the
wonderful healing results of the world
renowned ''Vaseline,' and that they are
not the same thing nor made in the same
way. Besides this, many of the imita-
lions are harmful, irritant and not safe
to use, while true Vaseine is perfectly
harmless.
Perfect safety therefore lies in buying
only original bottles and other packages
put up by the Chesebrough Manufacture
ing Co. Attention is called to their
Capsicum Vaseline, advertised in another
column.
