That money is not everything in life is illustrated by a case which has come before the Taranaki Hospital Board, (statee the "Taranaki News")- It con-: cerns a lonely old man —he has no wife or family, no'relatives, and, apparently, no friends —and he wants to spend the evening of his life in the comfort of the Old People's Home. He has money; ■ in fact, his circumstances are very com-; fortable, but his money keeps him from the comfort o? the home and the genial companionship which he seeks, because the Board cannot extend its charitable t hospitality to those who are well off. All the law permits him to do is to make his wealth over to the Board, and then they will care for him, and only then will he reach his happiness by making himself poor.
