here today that the Kaiser will seek

This means, in effect" said rram

her internal war debt.
Germany's expenditures TO date
amount to about 1886, OOO.OOO while
her estimated national wealth in 1912
was about $4,000, 100000"
"Germany's investments abroad
amount to $500 100000 Of which
about $75O,O00,000 have been sold in

Care of Crippled Children

More people in Florida than
should be are ignorant of a wise
and most excellent and useful ser.
vice that the state supports by ap.
preparation from its funds. At.
tention has been called to it before
in the Press Service, but it is a
matter about which repetition is
warranted.
1t is provision by which the
crippled children of parents who
ire unable to pay for costly med
ical or surgical nursing, may have
The benefit of the best care and
treatment, under the direction of
skilled physicians and every
chance given them for cure COM
plete and thorough. Every nee
essary thing that the richest can
buy is offered free to the child
rem of poorer parents.
Every child is born with the
right to health and happiness.
Prenatal influences and causes at
tending and Immediately follow
ing birth deprive many children
more than the layman suspects
of physical strength and fitness,
and handicap them at the start in
their equipment to face life s
problems with any particular
chance of success. When they
are born in poverty, the chances
for cure are small, because med
ical attention and care cost mon
ey, often large sums, which only
the well-to-dO can spare from their
means.
The Legislature of 1911 provid
ed for an appropriation for the e.
rection of a hospital for the free
treatment of INDECENT crippled
children of Florida parents, and
for ten thousand dollars to be set
aside annually for the mainten-
ance of the institution. But this
appropriation or provision for the
same was negatived, by declaring
that until the number of children
should require a separate institu-
ton, the little patients should be
cared for in a hospital or hospi-
tails already in operation, and the
expense borne from the State
Board of Health's treasury. and
so it happens that the hospital is
still a promise of the future. de.

In n letter to those interested in

When it's cold they want ii hot, when

When 1t halls they want snow, when wet

They never know when to let well enough

Then they want state of chaos through

Completely unsettling the whole situa-
