AGED AND INFIRM
ABANDONED TO CHARITY
NO OFFICIAL SUPPORT
BERLIN, August 24. Announcing that in the interests of economy, municipal institutions for the aged and. infirm can no longer be officially supported, but must be maintained voluntarily, Burgomaster Maretzko made an astounding statement at a Press Conference. He said that he- was unable to take the responsibility of spending millions to prolong the lives of the incurably sick and insane. He added that humane care would be taken of these unfortunates, but an end must be put to dosing them with expensive medicines, which, after all, only prolonged their sufferings.
