OUR BOYS.
Personal Purity Lecturer Blamss
Girls If Young Men Go
Wrong.

Sioux City Journal, 81 THE young
women OF America hold in the hollow
of their hands the salvation of the
young men of the country, said Mrs.
Mabel Conklin the great personal puri-
ty movement leader, who spoke to a
large audience at the First Presbyterian
church last night
Mrs. Conklin s address was on "Why
Young Men TO Wrong" In her dis
course she sadly scored the young
women of today who do not live up to
such high moral standard that the
young men cannot help but respect
them.
1.-THE injustice which older people.do
to young men in saying tnat any OF
them are past redemption is entirely
wrong, said Mrs. Conklin. There
is no young man who is past redemp
ton. My faith in the young men re-
mains as firm as ever today The mag
niticent work of the Y. NJ G.. A. shows
the drift and trend of the young men
in religious lines. 1t has succeeded
where the church mas failed. The very
walls of the Y M. C. A. building teen
with warm friendship for the young
man. But in the church there are few
who take an interest in the young
stranger who comes in among the con
gregation.
"One great reason why young men
go wrong is the fact that very few
Young men are well born Thousands
cannot help being vicious when they
are compelled to be continually com
batting generations and generations of
immoral ancestors Another thing that
makes Young men go wrong is the
alcohol and narcotics that are given
them by their mothers when the Young
man is yet babe. | am referring to
soothing syrups. which contain great
part of alcohol and opium. Can You
blame the young man for going wrong
when the alcohol and opium are bred
into him in the shape of this patent
medicine culse9
Perhaps the home training of the
boy is not what it should be. A great
New York judge once said 1.-The ad-
vent of child into some homes merely
means another man for the penitentiary
or another girl for the brothels. - There
is more truth in this statement than
one would believe without investga-
tion. ] do not believe that the boy
should be raised in comfort and ease,
with every luxury at his command
He should be made to fight his own
battles. That is the way good men
are made.
But it is the wrong influences of
women and girls that bring more young
men to their destruction Until we
have more girls with high standard
of morals we will not have less young
men with low standard of morals
The young women of today do not re-
spect themselves as mucn as men re-
spect themselves. A woman would not
dare take the liberties with the young
men of their acquaintance that the
young men take with them. .

The question is often asked how
one treatment can be goad for every
thing. Is not pure air and pure water
beneficial to the system? If so, will
it not benefit every organ of the sys-
tenn TO purify the blood, and elimi
nate the large amount of poison that
collects in the system? Is not regulat-
ing the bowels beneficial to the entire
system, and absolutely necessary to
the proper condition of health? IF so.
why should it not be just as necessary
to open up the seven million pores in
the skin, which is the sewerage of the
entire system, letting off the deadly
poison which thousands of people are
carrying about in their bodies perfect
ignorant of their condition. You can
easily see this process of renovation
can not help but benefit every part of
the human machinery.
