have a nurse or proper attention.
The last baby came the same way
and the neighbors gave a few 1
clothes for it. The children go to
school but don't have proper food.
How can they become desirable
citizens? Can those girls grow
up in poverty and have no training
and resist temptation when they

wrong to bring more ant! more :
children into life like that ? Their j
lives are handicapped from start

REGULAR SESSION
OF CITY COUNCIL
THE QUESTION OF THE MAIN
STREET ASSS6MENT
SETTLED
At the regular meeting of the
City Council last night several of
Hi, property owners along Ma',11
Street between Dock and Grant
St reels were present and under the
head of unfinished business, a nuin
ber of them objected to paying two
ihirds of the cost of the sewer
>om the intersection of Main and
Dock streets to deep water. The
motion that the property owners
along Main steet between Dock and
Grant be rebated pro-rata for the
construction of that portion of the
sewer below the intersection of
Main and Dock streets, carried and
it was ordered that the treasurer
be instructed to accept p. payment
of 57 cents per front foot from the
property owners. The cost of that
portion of the sewer in dispute was
$-110.05, making the amount rebated
to* the property owners 23 cents per
front foot.
in making the street assessment
John Koel was assessed pro-rata but
the meeting last night the moti
on. was carried that he be rebated
$13.00 because of the fact that the
’ walk adjoining the Bank build
hu; was constructed prior to the
i eet improvement and for which
had already been assessed.
$75 a month can properly care for
eight children?
Cannot these mothers be protect
ed ? You say those who don’t
want children are not fit for them,
have its share of a mother’s care?
No! Mother is busy.
Can you believe a man getting
•Yell, why not allow them to be
childless and protect those who
have all they can feed ?
1 have a boy of 2. I am just
getting my strength back now. How
could I have had another birth only
18 months or two years later and
have given a strong bodv to the
child?
Every normal woman desires
children. Nature controls that.
If she doesn’t, she isn’t natural.
That probably was caused from un
der-development in a large family.
The world is waking up to the
id that we want quality instead
•h quantity.
In my case, I would like about
children, but my husband does
not want any. Queer ,isn’t it.
Don’t you think determined wo
icn will keep from having child
’•en if they don’t want them?
MOTHER

INDESTRUCTO trunks are not by any means H
for rich people alone. Don’t think that because H
people of means so generally use them that they S
are not well within the resources of the average family. «
Why, we believe that if the people of this city really knew how M
much comfort and satisfaction there is in an Indestructo trunk,
and at what really moderate prices, hardly anybody would be S.
willing to go even through this summer without an Indestructo £X
Indestructo trunks have been around the world thousands of times, ii
They have been on the most strenuous exploring expeditions, and r|
have come cut unscathed. Every trunk is guaranteed for at least Si
five years’ perfect service. «
Of course they are smart appearing trunks, too. Not only are
good, but look good. There’s some satisfaction in that. p
If you take our advice you will not postpone one day longer p
coming into our shop and letting us show you how interesting
Indestructo baggage is. M
Mtwec* o* Indestructo trunks and leather goods. Good all through. cf
