couraging divorce than any other
thing according TO DR.. Harvey W..

early? Simply because you are not
interested in the conservation OF
man. You should begin a. hundred
years before the child is born to
save him. The infant comes into
the world a creature of fate, there
for it is the duty of the community
10 see that the child has proper
heredity. In Germany every birth

marriage license until you have
shown your certificate OF birth. We

been born a republican If hadn't
been born before the party, and
think l would have died one of the
party had it not died first, but IT my
work caused the death Of the repub-
lican party by running business. then
it should have died., as should any
party with such business as a
foundation. After congress had pass.
