years of age live at home, and although
their wages are small they contribute a
large part of them to the general support

enough money to support themselves,
were they obliged to live alone, many
people are apt to regard them as para
sites. The investigator writes:
Suppose that into the budget of a
family whose head earns $12 or SIS a
week girl brings an additional So. In a
working class family the difference be.
tween s12 and SIS week is great; It is
the difference between having hardly any

COME of our most esteemed correspond
~ ents intimate in no equivocatlng words
that the family doctor is liar. This Is
quite true. A doctor would be sorry
failure, a hated citizen and a disgrace to
his profession If he were not ready and
able to lie whenever occasion demands
IL is as a liar that the doctor does some
of the noblest deeds In his daily routine.
He should lie and he must lie to have the
honor OF family. He must lie to defend
the reputation of woman. He must lie
to preserve the bonds of man and wife. A
doctor who is not willing to lie when neces-
sary for these purposes isn't worth a
plcayune.
You can't tell the doctor that a lie is al
ways bad-you can't do that because your
house is OF glass. Would you have the
doctor speak the truth and only the truth
regardless OF where the chips may fall?
Then you would make him a wreeker OF
homes, a peddler of scandal and despica-
BILE extortlonist
Let us imagine case A mother brings
her baby 20 the doctor. Examination shows
that the baby is suffering with hereditary
disease. The doctor knows that the sins of
the father are visited upon the child The
mother asks what is the. matter with the
break up the homer Come, you moraIists,
what would you have him do?
Doctor Cabot wrote that "the Doctors lie
