If your son were exposed, to small pox or the

bubonic plague you would be worried ill about it.

You could not sleep at night worrying lest you see him smitten down before you. And yet so long as he has no clear knowledge of the functions of sex, so long as he has had no training in the right care and control of sex, he goes out every day exposed to something ten times worse than smallpox or the plague. These diseases have power to destroy the body, but that to which your reticence or shall we even say prudishness leaves him exposed, not only destroys the body but also has power to destroy the soul. It is not a question of whether the boy shall be taught or not be taught, because he is going to be taught one way or another and by somebody

somewhere. It is a question as to wnetner ne shall have good teaching or bad teaching, true teaching or false teaching. If he doesn't get it from you, he will get it from his cronies on the street corner. If you don't tell him the facts,

someone else will tell him lies. And if he is not in your confidence, he will get into somebody else's confidence because all of the instincts of

his nature lead him to want to know something about himself. Sooner or later, in some blind and struggling fashion, he may learn the facts concerning his own nature, but in too many cases lie learns these facts when it is too late. How shall he be taught? By the school? The school can do much by conveying to him somewhat of right knowledge in a roundabout and indirect way. It is still an open question as to whether it is the function of the school to teach sex hygiene as such. As was emphasized by the superintendents of the country in their convention at New York last week, out and out teaching of sex hygiene in the school has not yet been made a success. But the school can throw such influences about the child, can give him such physical and mental training and through bis studies in biology, physiology, botany, etc., may convey such knowledge to him that he can gradually grow up into some conception of his body and its functions that may do him some good. And the individual teacher can wield a noble

influence in the life of a boy or girl by gaining the confidence of her pupils. She can have private talks with the girls and may tactfully, as we have known teachers do, arrange to have the boys talk with physicians or men well fitted to

teach them the things they so much need to know. But it is the parent who must continue to carry the full burden of responsibility for this kind of education. As Superintendent Giles said the other day, the schools may be forced to assume this function, but the home is in a position much better to fulfill it. As a parent you cannot shift this responsibility to the shoulder of the teacher. Rightly to fulfill this responsibility you yourself as a parent may perhaps have to go to school. It is impossible for you to pass on to your child what you do not possess yourself. If you yourself do not have an education in sex hygiene, you cannot give one to your boy. And you cannot expect that your boy will be clean unless you are clean. You can have little influence over him un-

he has confidence in you. Unless vou can

Federal Aid to Politicians

It was a certain D. W. Shackleford of Missouri

who was guilty of foisting on the country the socalled "good roads" bill which bears his name. According to this measure, $25,000,000 is to be taken from the federal treasury each year and parcelled out among the forty-eight states for the purpose of building roads. This measure passed the House on February 10th, 284 of the 326 who voted giving "Aye" to it. It is now before the Senate whose members will doubtless connive at the iniquity of their colleagues of the lower house by passing it and sending it on for the President's signature. If President Wilson does not veto it, he is not the man we take him to be. This Shackleford "good roads" bill is the most shameful piece of downright thievery in the interests of politicians that has been attempted by our present Democratic congress. It is a piece of pork barrel legislation, pure and simple, and scarcely a single good word can be said in its defense. Ostensibly, of course; the money is to be used on roads but precious little of it will ever get that far. According to the wording of the bill iself, the portion allotted to each state will be placed in the hands of the governor who will apply it through the county commissioners or township trustees. Can you imagine a more beautiful scheme for building up a political machine? Can you conceive of a more perfect method for wasting federal revenue ? As things now are in the average state, if the federal census itself may be relied on, only 20 per cent of every dollar appropriated

from taxes ever 'ets into the road itself. The 80 per cent goe'; for salaries and upkeep of political machinery, etc. But with money starting in the federal treasury at Washington and passing through any number of commissions and bureaus there and then into the hands of the governor, vho passes it out to petty politicians who hand it clown from henchman to henchman, the country may consider itself lucky if five cents of every dollar of this twenty-five million ever finds its way to the surface of a pike. Of course a majority of representatives voted for it. Most of them are hanging on to their political jobs by the teeth and need all the help they can get. Going in as they did on a political landslide without the support of strong political organizations at home, they need every morsel that they can snatch from the federal pork barrel. Surely the people of the United States ;ire at

last awaking to the fact that congress is not ; ;.nnvinrP him vou know what vnn tain

THE BOSS Edgar Sheldon, the author of "The Boss." is perhaps better known for his

excellent work in "Salvation Nell" which Mrs. Fiske played for several seasons an "The Niggar" which had a long run on Broadway. However, in "The Boss" many claims that it is his

very best work. .The play was written before he was twenty years old, and still a student at Harvard. "The Boss has had long run at New York.. Chicago and Boston, also a season on the road. The Francis Sayles' players promise us a complete production of this great play at the Gennett theatre, all next week -with the usual matinees. TO GIVE AWAY A PIANO At the country store on next Mon

An Unfailing Remedy For Coughs and Colds

Make It Yourself.

Add oz. Balm of Gilead buds to 1 pint of Duffy's pure malt whiskey ; let it stand 48 hours and strain. To this add 1 lb. bruised Rock Candy, which will slowly dissolve. This remedy is invaluable as an assuager for all troubles along the course of the air passages including throat affections, bronchitis, asthma, and all deep seated coughs and colds. Increase the dose gradually from a teaspoonful every hour to a tablespoonful every hour, or if the condition is acute, take every half hour until decided relief is felt.

Prevalency of Kidney Disease. Most people do not realize the alarming increase and remarkable prevalency of kidney disease. While kidney disorders are among the most common diseases that prevail they are sometimes the last recognized by patients, who very often content themselves with doctoring the effects, while the orginal disease may constantly undermine the system.

neither he nor his estimable Secretary of State. Mr. Bryan, can atone for the shortcomings of several hundred job-hungry politicians. If in the face of his party's crying need for patronage and such support as this bill will give it among the voters in the rural districts, President Wilson has the courage to veto it, he will do more to earn the confidence of the American public than any other one act he has yet performed.

Sex Hygiene If all the suffering, the degradation and misery and death traceable to sex ignorance could be paraded before the world in a single day, onehalf of us would faint away with horror. Very few, by the widest stretch of the imagination, are able to conceive of the stupendous amount of blindness, insanity, imbecility, malformation and other forms of human physical and mental degradation directly caused by venereal diseases. Why is it we have such conditions in twentieth century society? Is it not because, as the prophet long ago said, "My people perish through lack of knowledge?" In this matter on which knowledge is most vital, ignorance is most dense. As a parent you will teach your child, or cause it to be taught, all about Europe, Asia, and the stars, and far off or ancient things, but at the same time leave him

hygiene yourself or feel that your own ignorance is your greatest handicap, go around and have a talk with your doctor, tell him frankly just what you are trying to do and get him to lend you books about these subjects and tell you what he himself knows. Further than this, write to the State Department of Health and ask them to forward you some of their excellent pamphlets on the matter.
