A short time ago we printed :i little bulletin from Ihe Stale Board of Health about what the preacher said at the baby's funeral. Yon re r.iemher that the man of God stood o'er the little white collin, in the presence of the sorrowing parents, and said: "The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away, blessed be the name of the Lord." The family phy sician, who was in the audience, knew bitter than that, though he did not say so, for he knew that the child died because of unsanitary conditions surrounding it during its few short months of existence. Father and mother bad been indifferent about the fbes and the mother, like many ano ther mother, bad left the child to the care of a dirty, negro nurse-maid ni:d it wasn't the Lord that took the child away. The baby died because of the criminal negligence if its pa rents. That's all. Wanted: A Son. London, July 16.
