We know WE wouldn't do that
way. We must see samples, and
we must assure ourselves that

Then the price must he fixed so
that we can hand them over to

great deal has been said about the discrimi-
nation against children by hotels, boarding houses
and propretors of flats and renting property. The
pronounced stork policy of the president has not
sufficed to abate the prejudice one iota.
There's reason
An all sufficient reason, is the fact, that the
modern American kid, unrestrained is a nuisance.
He will destroy the property of the landlord the
furniture and reality. The shrubbery, the windows
and doors, the floor and often the roof are subject
to his depredations The best place for children is
at home and the best thing for parents who have
no home, in which to keep their children is to
teach the youngsters the value of property, and
that walking over the fucniture and tearing down
the house is impolite, annoying and expensive. A
child is more expensive to keep than an adult, par
ticuary if he is the offspring of indulgent parents.
The objections offered by hotel proprietors and
land lords generally, to children, are based on good
reason.
