That meeting and the spirit that went out from it meant much to Seattle. In the hearts of those who heard Dr. Mark A.

In the Stillman case there is a mighty lesson and —— warning for all fathers and mothers. The lesson is this— that the sins of the parents are visited upon the children, even unto the third and fourth generations. A child may be born into poverty—which can be over- come. He may be handicapped by ill health—thru no fault of his parents. stigma shadowing his name is denied his rightful heritage.

Immigrants, and 1630 Prices 1680 EACH PERSON coming to America from Eng- jof corn meal, two bushels of oatmeal, two gallons of vine- gar and a gallon each of oil and brandy. These supplies, with wild game, fruits and other edibles to be found in American forests, were supposed to keep a man for a year. Rather a simple menu. But those were the days of sim- plicity. Not many people would care to start on a year’s |hunting trip with such uninviting supplies, tho for some that gallon of brandy would compensate for a scanty larder. the supplies brought by an immigrant in 1630 cost, in English money, the equivalent of $20.23. Curiously enough, |he also claims that the same stuff cost only $23.15 in 1913, {a normal year. That’s ammunition for the student who jclaims that prices, averaged in centuries, never change | much. On the other’ hand, an historian says that the cost of fitting out Columbus’ first expedition was only $5,000, but large as now. The hen that docen’t cackle has no egg to advertise. BY DR. WILLIAM E.
