/ said: mo child ever got his rightful
to people and things who was shielded
and sheltered and coddled and hedged
in and dressed up and 'don't-ed" all
through his childhood, in season and
out OF season, by his elders" That
was the only utterance on the subject
Of don't" in the whole talk.
Farther on in the talk / used these
words: I'm order to properly find
himself out he should have a chance
to be bad, not TO become bad-that Is
different. But he should have free
range enough to find out that there is
bad side to life, and then there
should be some one living in close
enough confluence WIN MIN, anu "iSe
enough to give this knowledge OF evil
the right setting IN his mind and sup
ply the antidote for any moral poison
that may have been picked up. That
would prevent him from becoming bad,
while at the same time 1t would land

The fundamental question Of cost in operating the

this statement is wholly erroneous and
misleading, 1 request the privilege of
correcting it.
Christian Science, as its name indi-
Gates, is based upon the teachings of
Christ, and nothing else.
The study of the Christian Science
text book, Science and Health With
Key to the Scriptures" will disclose
that Christian Science does not depart
one iota from the teachings Of Christ.
In Mark 1920 it is related of the
disciples "And they went forth and
preached everywhere, the Lord work
ing with them and then confirming the
word with signs following" In the
seventeenth verse Of the same chapter
it is said: "And these signs shall fol-
low them that believe" Now it logi-
cally follows that since Christian

be correct and therefore Christian in

Valuable War Relic

Recently there was hung on the wall
ir, the Union League reception hall a
relic OF the days of 1776. 1t is Brit
ish colonial flag that was captured
from the English by General Poor. At
the battle of Saratoga General Poor led
the attack. The holes shown in the
flag were made by the old slug bullets
used by the American army. The
strip torn off the bottom was removed
by an army surgeon to stop the flow
of blood from the wounds received by
General Poor just previous to the sur
render of Burgoyne. The relic is the
property of Colonel Perrie Kewen, and
is loaned to the Union League club for
a short time.

IN PLACE OF SALOONS
San Diego Has Suggestion for Los
Anqeles

SAN DIEGO, April 17-CEditor Her
ald): Permit me to suggest to the
temperance people of Los Angeles the
very great desira bility of providing
substitutes for the saloons.
Most workmen feel the need of a
place to spend n pleasant evening, to
meet their friends. smoke a pipe or
read the paper. The saloons further
provide them with music
Now, why cannot the temperance
advocates go the saloons one better
and take leaf out of their books?
To close all the saloons without pro-
viding plenty of counter attractions
would be huge blunder.
In addition to tea and coffee, there is
perfectly harmless drink that might
be provided Add one-fifth claret to
a glass of lemonade. 1t may be said
that this would necessitate a license,
but surely this is a matter of law
that may be compromised, or If not
there is such a thing as unfermented
claret which can be substituted.
Caret (one-ffth) is superior to all
fruit essences and with onefourth
lemonade makes a most refreshing
drink and has all the appearance of
wine.
I would like to see room set apart
for reading aloud of anecdotes short
stories, interesting narratives etc. For
25 cents an hour plenty of good readers
cail be hired. 1t is at least worth try
ing and for boys and girls, to keep
them off the streets, it would be an
immense success F. A. BINNEY.
