year, and he died at the age of II. Now large families of children often mature without a death.
 Through medical education and the treatment of early de- fects the child's chances of reaching maturity have been greatly increased, especially during the last half century. The heightened average span of human life which now pre- vails is largely due to reduct- ion of mortality among infants.
 For their effective efforts in this and otherdirectionslooking to the preservation of human life the medical profession and those cooperating are entitled to the highest praise.

Children and Cars

Children are naturally more thoughtless and careless than grown people and are there fore not to be expected to ob- serve every passing danger. Drivers of automobiles should recognize this and make due allowance for the children and look out for them.
 The only safe way to operate an automobile where children are to be passed is to drive slowly, 50 as to be able to stop quickly whenever some unex- pected movement of a child thrusts danger ahead. Some of our local drivers appear to give slight heed to such precau- ion. Only a day or two ago we observed a driver dashing mad ly down one of our narrow thoroughfares within a scant five feet of a group of small children.
 There is nothing more tragic or that more forcefully excites human sympathy than the spectacle of a stricken, suffer- ing child, and we'll, automo- bile drivers cannot be too care full where there are children about.

Truthful Advertising

Usually the argument is made that every business concern should advertise. Generally speaking, this is true, but there are exceptions. In fact, some concerns hardly dare to adver- tise, because they cannot make good according to the require ments of modern business prac- tices.
 When advertising is untruth- full or misleading it does more harm than good. Only an en- terprise which fulfills the promises made in it's advertis- ing can stand the spotlight of publicity. Hence, when we find a store or other business estab- lishment boldly advertising it's wares or service, month after and year after year, we may generally conclude that it can and does give real values.
 Observing the advertised bus Illnesses of any community, large or small, will enable one to identify the most depend able concerns in that commun- ity. Only efficient and repu- table establishments dare to advertise.
