You-'can't personally test everything you buy and compare it with all the other products in its class. But there is a way to find out which brand fits your The people who are most successful in their buying-- who achieve the highest percentage of satisfaction from the things they own and use--are those who consis- tently read the advertising columns, and buy consistent. .ly advertised goods.

He declared that she had repeatedly asked him to do so, and it was only when all hope of her recovery had been abandoned and when the agony from which Mrs. Corbett, who was 2 French woman, was suffering had in- creased to an almost unbearable de- gree, that Corbett who had lived alone with his mother since his fa- ther's death, took his decision. Then he tried to commit suicide. In his letter to the Matin Cor- bett recounts exactly what happened | --how, since last November, his mother had been suffering from ad- vanced cancer, and how since Feb- ruary, radium and other treatments had been declared useless, Regrets Nothing "I regret nothing,' Corbett writes, "and wish by this letter to draw at- tention to a problem which has gone too long unsolved. Should we not through pity put a end to the suf- fering of thon incurables who ask it of us?" Corbett answers in his own case, "It should never be done by pri- vate people. It should be done by the state, But when the state fails in its duty, then sometimes there is | an excusc for those who themselves! assume the responsibility." The writer of the letter, however, refrains. from making any excuses for himself. He agrees that two of the objections to passing a law per- mitting the ending of life by auth-| orized persons at the petition of an incurable sufferer, are justified. The first of these principles is the in- violability of human life. The sec- ond is the possibility of abuse. But| in putting criminals to death the state makes an exception of the prin- ciple of the inviolability of human life, he says, and the second prin- ciple has its origin in religion, which JURY & LOVELL.

Rights of Incurables | "If any one prefers to die in agony | because of his religious beliefs, that is his own affair," Corbett writes. | "But has the state, for reasons which are at bottom religious, the right to refuse to incurables the pity which they demand? Has not the individu- al the right to his liberty? So long as the law is not amended the law throws onto individuals the responsi- | bility of the solution of the prob-| lem." | Forty thousand people, Corbett | states, die each year in France from | cancer. Nearly half are suicides, due | to their constant pain, ! "How much better it would be if | those who have suffered so in their bodies should not have to suffer in their minds by the pain of planning and inflicting their own deaths. They should have the freedom of appeal to the state to end their misery."
