MRS. LAKE TALKS
ON HEREDITY
Discusses Right Of Child to
be Well Born Physically
and Well Reared
CLEANLINESS IN LIFE

Mrs. Leonora Lake spent a busy day
yesterday in the prohibition agitation.
In the mornin gshe attended st. Paurs
Roman Catholic Church and heard a
discourse denouncing The liquor traf-
hc by Rev. William Temple. In the
afternoon. mounted on a soap box, she
addressed a street meeting at the cor
ner Of Lincoln street and Gilpin ave-
nue. There was a large crowd of men
and women at the meeting. In the
evening about 900 persons filled Mt.
Salem Methodist Episcopal Church to
hear Mrs Lake. the services being
turned into a temperance meeting with
Rev Mr.. Carpenter. the pastor. pre-
siding. Prohibition songs were sung
and Mrs. Lake spoke for an hour.
The address in the main was quite
different from her usual talks in the
street and was a philosophic discourse
on heredity and the relation of the
liquor traffic TO the moral. mental and
physical stamina OF man. Her topic
was the "iDvine Right Of the Child" 4"
and she discussed the propagation Of
breeding of animal species as illustrat-
ed by stock breeders and the propaga-
tion of plants and vegetables. reciting
the wonderful experiments of Bur-
bank. Children should be reared with
the same care as is exercised in the re-
production of horses or plant life.
When people abuse alcohol she said it
degenerated the species as was in
stanced by the institutions for the
feeble minded throughout the country.
Discussing home life she said worldly
parents Of to-day when their daugh-
ters seek matrimony inquire whether
the young man has a good position
and has accumulated money. but they
should inquire whether his life has
clean.
She paid a tribute to unmarried wo-
men who are now called derisive "old
maids" but are unappropriated
blessings" Mrs. Lake pleaded for the
Christian home. where prayers are
said daily. and drew illustrations from
the life of her own parents who were
Irish immigrants. her father carrying
all his worldly goods on the back O.
a stick when he came to this country,
but in their humble home religious
services were held morning and night
The strength of eNampe was pointed
out. how the father sometimes upset
the teachings OF the mother. She was
once shocked. she said, when her boy
came home and said he had seen the
mayor of the town coming out of a
saoon. wiping his liDs. and the boy,
after seeing the mayor in that atti-
tude. had doubted whether his moth
er's teaching were correct. The
liquor traffic she said was morally
wrong and no legal procedure could
make Il right
