with money in the banks and more

anyone actually know ard can anyone
render a real reason for this baseless
worry over the words a presidential

What would happen if we forgot it /?

special bargains with the undertaken

secured a shade under the ordinary
rates. On the day he dressed himself
for the event and awaited the great
change which was due TO occur at 4

Now York and Illinois present an In
teresting contrast. There the institu-

times as much per inhabitant for ite
orphana@es and childrens homes as
does Illinois. The placing out system
which obtains in this state is not only
more efficient, but Is more economical.
It Is estimated that children can be
placed in farmily homes and properly

while they can not be properly kept In
institutions for less than $50 to $3.50
per year.
Better than the placing out system
