A hard-hearted political economist, looking at a pale and puny child eefily gasping as it lies upon a pillow, says that the child might as well lie. It is so weak and poor that its life will never be worth muoi anyhow. There are already a good many people in the world who arc of not much account anyhow. And what's the use of adding to thsir number another weakling, who has but slender chance of ever amounting to anything? Now ask that child’: mother what she thinks about letting the child lie. About this time the hard political economist had better get out of die way. "Let my child diet Not Not As long as there is a remedy ie fe found that will save that child, the child shall not die!
