The Curse of The Black Plague.
By Prof. Chas. A Mitchell.

If the Indiana state board of health
is right, multitudes of young men
are not fit to become fathers. Twen-
ty years ago the physicians in this
country became greatly exercised
over what is called the white
Plague" by strenuous efforts and
concerted action, sanitariums and
tent colonies were established, and
millions of pages of literature were
spread broadcast, until today, con-
sumption is greatly diminished.
But there is a far greater plague
in this country, called the "Black
Plague" Certain blood taints that
are spreading rapidly among our
young men. The Indiana state board
venereal diseases, and recent scienti-
fic investigation has shown it to be
even worse than the other form of
venereal infection. They declare that
four-fifths of the men of America who
reach the age of thirty, have been
poisoned. That three-fourths of the
operations upon in the hospit-
ais are because the husband had
sown his wild oats and poisoned his
blood and infected his innocent and
unoffending wife. Four-fifths of the
children born blind become so be-
cause their fathers, when young men,
had sown their wild oats" One
half of the childless marriages are
from the same cause. 1t is the great
threatening danger of this nation.
No girl should marry, unless her
father or brother has found out that
the young MAJ is safe. No young
man should be given a license to
marry unless he can show a clean
billof health from venereal contamina-
tons. A grandmother, at the close
of a woman's meeting rushed up to
me crying, and said, "You do not talk
half plain enough. My daughter is
dying by inches, because her hus-
band lived a crooked life"

Presentation.
Selected.

A boy returned from school one day
with a report that his scholarship had
fallen below the usual average. And
this conversation took place:
Son. said the father, you've fall
en- behind this month, haven't your
Yes, sir"
How did that %happen?'
Don't know, sir
The father knew, if the son did
not. He had observed some dime
novels scattered about the house,
but had not thought it worth while
to say anything until a fitting oppor-
tunity should offer itself. A basket of
apples stood upon the floor, and he
said:
Empty out those apples, and take
the basket and bring it to me half
full of chips" Suspecting nothing,
the son obeyed.
Now he continued, put those
apples back into the basket" When
half the apples were replaced, the
boy said:
Father, they roll off. can't
put any more in."
Put them in, | tell you"
But, father, | can't put them in"
Put them in? No, of course you
can't put them in. You said you
didn't know why you fell behind at
school, and | will tell you why.
Your mind is like that basket it
will not hold more than SO much. And
here you've been the past month fill
ing up with chip-dirt-dime novels"
The boy turned on his heel, whist
led, and said, "whew!I see the point

The best physical laboratory in
America is the w~ell-regulated Ameri-
can farm. Here the boys and girls
study nature first-hand. Here they
observe the growth and life of plants
and animals. Here they breathe pure
air, become familiar with the beauties
and wonders of the natural world.
Here they make character. To have
added to all these opportunities the
advantages of a high school eduea-
ton, without any of the disadvantage
hat attend spending of the evening
without chores or home duties, in
the town, is an educational condition
that is almost ideal."-Prof. j. l..
McBrien.

Select Reading.

Tell me what a man reads and |
will tell you what he is said a wise
writer; for little by little the things
that we read become our thoughts and
make the very texture of the mind.
During the last few months the at
tention of the American people has
been aroused to the consideration OF
pure and impure foods. This az
itation has lone good, for with the
abundance of good food there is
little excuse for using any food
which is harmful. The time has
come when the American family must
eive better attention than in the
past to another matter-the choice
between coed and bad reading. We
have read enough about wickedness
in both public and private life; too
many stories of criminal transactions;
too much about the evil and not
enough about the good in life.
For our own sake, and still more
for The sake of II o II and daugh-
teTs, it is most important that we
should select our periodicals with
great discrimination. Let these sub
scriptions he only for clean, whole
some, patriotic periodicals; those
which present the good,n OF the bad,
in human life and endeayor.-Select-
