They know the sort of advertising that
brings returns, and, from the newspaper
mans standpoint, at least, their decision
is a wise one.

1t is stated that one of the insurance
companies doing business in Erie is
about to make the experiment of supply
ing a trained nurse to look after the needs
of its policy holders who may be i'll. 1t
is good business policy. An insurance
company is interested in keeping its pol
icy holders alive as long as possible.
Dead men pay no premiums and this
company is simply displaying wise re-
gard for its own interests in the move il
has undertaken. Erie Herald.

"A bill has been presented in the
Pennsylvania legislature providing heavy
penalties for father or mother who de-
serts family. This state has been en-
trely too lenient with this class of desert.
ers and there ought to be no hesitaucy or
the part of the Legislators to enact the
bill into law. Much of the poverty and
distress that comes to the attention Of the
poor authorities and those engaged In
charitable work is the outcome of the
practice of desertion. Under existing
laws q wife deserter is practically i'm
mune if he succeeds in getting into an
other state, and by making it a crime o
a higher grade, the authorities will b,
able to bring the offenders back on requi
sition papers. 1t is practice that SHOULD
be most emphatically discouraged by thu
law and when stringent legislation II
passed it should he rigidly enforced.
