It's a pity to come into this world with a mortgage around your neck. Your doctor was there—perhaps at two in the morning, when the world was asleep—to receive your baby from Mr. Stork. He gave it the scien tific care that it needed to get a right start. He eased the mother. Without sleep, without praise, without hope of reward other than a few dollars, he came when called— promptly—and did his work well. And now the baby is how many months old? And the prood father and mother—you and your wife— have you been on time as were the- doctor and Mr. Stork. * Did you pay your doctor at once? Did yon settle with him promptly— give him the only reward he asks, the few dollars he charged for a lifetime of experience? Or is your baby mortgaged? . Is your doctor still mailing yon bills which you throw in the wastebasket? Remember he knows that you are paying other bills. He has ways of discovering that you promptly settle your gas, telephone and buther's bills. He knows, too, that if you caxuot pay him all, you could send part—and play square with him, as he played square with you when you needed him quickly. You are not a liar. You wouldn't ask anyone to render you a service on the pretense that you were honest and meant to pay what you owed. Hut if you ignore him much longer, what will he be forced to think? He can only believe that yon are willing to dangle a mortgaged baby on your knee, while you earn the reputation of being a “dead beat." Make some move today. Pay him all or part of your bill. .
