Tell Your Children

Parents should instruct their children in the vital facts
of life.
All of LIES operations such marriage parentage,
BIRTH sacred things Why should custom close the lips
of parents concerning the duties and the dangers of the
child's relationship to these facts?
The boy and girl will find out somehow. Who will tell
them-you who ought not to be permitted to
tell them?
Your boy should not learn about these pure and caste
relationships from rbad obscene sources He should
not be instructed from the gutter He should have the
facts from those who know them rightly and who ire
mendousy concerned in the boy Thousands Of boys
ruined by the befoued suggestions of those who make
clean mysteries Of the simple facts of life Their minds
dragged through sewers of filth.
Your girl should know the truth the whole TRUTH about
herself about wfehood and motherhood about the sacred
her person and the dangers that lie along her path
way She ought not to learn about the truths of her being
from the whisperings of the debased.
Ignorance is the nearest relative Of vice.
Parents should take their children into their full conf

of an unsued life should be held out and the temptations
and dangers Of wrong doing fully and frankly told
How can you blame the boy girl who goes wrong if
you have failed to explain the laws of nature respecting

PROMOTER FRENCH HAD MANY LARGE PLANS

system received for this long tour
through the western states were the
tips garnered by the porter and cook
Judgment was rendered In court
against French, but it has not been
paid.
French planned the construction of
n belt line railroad at Akron, o., and
bought monster locomotive before
any rails had been laid. 1t was kept
on an Erie sidetrack, but the storage
charges were heavy and French, to
get some return, leased the locomO-
tive in succession to two or three
railroads. They soon returned it, The
locomotive rested on sidetrack for
months and was finally sold to Ma
than Berk, an Akron loan agent.
French led the agents of several
of the big insurance companies a
dizzy chase by promising to take out
policies to the amount of $1,000,000.
He made one payment on policy for
$25, 900 and then allowed it to lapse.
In all French projected a dozen
railroads and n construction company
in this state. The latter is bankrupt
with claims against 1t to the amount
Of nearly 100000.
French is said to have debts to
the amount of several hundred thou
sand dollars. Suits have been brought
against him for amounts ranging
from a few hundred to 100000.
