Usually heart disease is the direct
result from one of the sc-called

rheumatism. Hereditary cases are
seldom durable, but many others

but who now led an active life with
practically no symptoms; and also

had been through several apparently

That the average city street con.

peculiarly evil in its attack on little
children, putting the finger of re-

genie had willed to blot out, under
pain of death, these little ones share
in the laughter that wells in tbs
heart of all childhood. To free them

symptoms have disappeared.
1t is at this point of apparent
cure that the child must unfortu-
nately be discharged from the hos
pltal, where every bed is essential
for the acutely sick, and often this
means a return to conditions which
either produced or aggravated the
disease, which in turn means even
tually recurrent attacks, culminat-
ing in a return to the hospital; and
so the wasteful circle is re-
peated until the child dies or be-

Responsible

The employment agencies cannot
be held responsible for this state of
things, for, as in the case of Madam
Housewife, they do not pretend in
these troublous times TO guarantee
the honesty Of servant. Further
more, they could not afford, at the
fee which they receive, to have a
thorough investigation made of
every applicant for a position-such
Investigations take a great deal Of
