MURDERERs IN HIGH PLACES.
St. Louis Republic. IT,

St Louis Republic
To enter into the details of the
causes that contribute to high death
rate among infants is TO indict about
every city in the land and all of the
states for completely in murderous
conspiracy. When a municipal legis-
lature declines to pass any law honest
~ and scientifically designed to in
crease the purity of the milk supply, 1t
becomes party TO this murderous
conspiracy. If it fails to enact suita-
BILE building laws, It is guilty of a
crime of omission. II is similarly
derelict when it fails to provide for
the medical inspection of school chill
dren or to compel the taking of any
and all the precautions which science
has devised and experience has proved
to be beneficial. We may hold opin-
ion with certain men of science, com
monty designated as cranks, that dis
ease is crime, but we may not hope
10 see the people attain to universal
heights of right living. But because
individuals habitually and often inten-
tionally abuse or neglect their bodies,
the state is not absolved from exer.
cising TO the limit of tolerance its duty
OF safeguarding life and health. As
II is now. the state sins as the in
dividuals do and, presumably, because

Dear Aunt Laurie:
7 LIKE the topic and so have decided

II This one is dollar bill and dime
conversing in a miser's safe, buried
under q house
"Wel, June 1 1 was paid out by a
bank cashier to a real estate agent.
was then crisp and clean. He gave me
to his wife, who kept me until June Z,
when [ was handed to the milkman,
who kept me until June 10, when 1 was
given to a cigar clerk for some cigars.
BY this time l was dirty" sighed the
poor dollar, while the dime saucily said:
THAT is why I'm glad I'm silver in
stead of paper. The dirt rubs off of
me-"
The dollar then began again: II was
given to q chauffeur on June IL, who
kept me about three hours, then gave
me to a millionaire in changing larger
bill June II | was rolled up with
other bills of larger denominations and
was kept there until June IA"
"Ohl" again interrupted the dime,
"That was when 1 was made, and l
was sent right to this town. where I
was put in the bankers hands for one
hour and given to this dreadful old
miser, who has kept me here ever
SINCE"
"Do you want me to finish?" asked
tainly," was the answer, and the do.-
lar began again: "I was handed to
a waiter who put me in his pocket, and
when going home stopped to look in
a window to see what he could get his
wife with me. Just then l was seized
by a sly hand and heard my former
owner scream, My pockets have been
picked I was then given to tobacco
store owner June Is and June II was
put in a contribution box in church.
The minister frequently examined me
and gave me to his wife, who kept
me eight days until July 25, when l
was given to a baker for rolls and
dozen loaves of bread and two cakes
for church social. 1 was lost by the
careless baker and lay in the dusty
road, tramped over by teams and feet
until June 30 I was picked up by
disagreeable old miser who slipped me
in his pocket and then" The dol
lar began to cry and the dime COM
forted 1t by words of cheer and all the
other coin nodded their heads. Your
loving niece, LOUISE DARMODY.

though my mother had come over from

trees.
"At our feet many beautiful flowers
and ferns grew and although loved
all of them my favorite was an ivy
that had twined herself about me.
"She used often to tell me secrets
that the west wind would tell her
and in time we became great friends.
"a path led through this forest and
we could see the little children going
to and from school, morning and even
ing. They used to come and gather
the flowers and make wreaths of them.
One little girl was lame and could
not run about as the rest of the chill
dren, but she would sit at my rect
and tell me how dearly she loved me.
zone day as we were all idly wish
ing for some excitement man came
into the wood with wagon on when
were many beautiful trees. Looking
about him he began to cut down some
of my friends and at last he came and
stood before me. I can't leave that
one he said, and then chopped me
down, too, and I was placed on the
wagon with the rest of the trees.

and we finally stopped at place
where the people were very busy. Our

were all loaded this car soon speeded
along at a great rate. When we had
ridden for three or four hours the car
stopped and we were unloaded and
taken to a store. A man came and
picked me out.

and placed in a large room. Some
