raised questions which have been dis
cussed In thousands OF homes all over
the United States.
! Many OF the questions which have
arisen in tho minds OF childless husbands
and wives have been answered In re-
cent article In the Outlook by Dr. Charles
Gilmore Kerley, the foremost American
authority and specialist on chldren's dis.
eases and the care and feeding OF in.

practice. Dr. Kerley has heen consulting
specialist for number OF years for in
situations where children are offered for
adoption. DR.. Kerley has thus had special
experience in the matter OF adoption OF
children into childless homes
{ The following extracts from his recent
magazine article presents many new and
interesting phases OF the subject which
are not generally known:
1T is not only the married childless
who adopt children DR.. Kerley writes
Children are adopted by the unmar-
ried OF both sexes. Girls are adopted into
families in which there are only boys,
and hoys into families In which there are
only girls Midd!e-aged and even elderly
couples whose children have grown and
left them have adopted children.
There Is a family in this country which
adopts a baby as a companion for every
baby horn TO it. My informant tells me
that this family has adopted four chill
dren UP TO the present time. Consider
for moment what an asset this family
is to the State and what genuine salts
faction it must get out OF life
> ut is generally assumed that the bene-
hts derived from adoption are all on the
aide OF the child. This is a general be.
| lief and always an error.
What possible role could the adopted
child or adopted children (for many
adopt more than one) play in family
that would accrue to the benefit OF the
adult members Of the family?
! 1T is this: They postpone old age. The
presence OF young children and young
people in the home means that adults are
kept young. To be mentally Youthful
means a postpOnement OF physical age.
"Has the reader ever been in a child
less home home that has been child
less, we will say, for fifteen or twenty
| years? If so, you will agree with ME
that there are signs OF age very definite
signs; that the passing years have left
their indelible footprints. Everything is
painfully precise. Every chair and piece
OF furniture stands stiff and prim and

Passage of the Statewide Prohibition
Bill in its present form will cause the
voters to cast their ballot either for a

day the presidential election is held.
That this was not the original plan of
the Antisaloon League before the last
election was the statement made by an
interested person at the State House
only recently.
when the pamphlet which contain
ed copy of the bill the Antisaloon
League intended to introduce was sent
out" he said, and some of the mem
bers of the General Assembly agreed to
support it, if elected, it was provided
the election be held on the third Mon
day of this coming September But
now it is mixed up with the president
ial election The bill, as introduced,
however, does not make any change
from the original date the law is to go
into effect, if it is passed by the Gen
eral Assembly and then by the people
of the State"
