stocking himself with any one chem. ical element, she gives his appetite a desire for what he needs, whether he knows what 1t is or not. Later his Judgment gives some assistance. Of course, if his appetite is mistreated. it loses its unerring skill.
 In this building scheme his parents are usually the superintendents of con. struction. while he is contractor and builder. By and by he takes the whole thing into his own hands.
 Is he equal to the task of providing the material in sufficient variety and quantity and quality? He Is apt to get enough, if 1t is in reach. And there Is where responsibility rests on somebody. If anyone is to be denied the required food. 1t must be the grown person, who has finished his building projects, and not the boy whose structure Is now going up and must not be interfered with.
 And, if his appetite does not become perverted, 1t will desire what he needs at particular time If 1t remains m. perverted, mind you, he will need heln from those who know what will in jure him, till he acquires a sufficient stock of knowledge and experience to protect himself. It is definitely known that liquor and tobacco always impair the functions of the appetite. The judges of our juvenile courts say that the cigarette fiend cannot be aroused to anything better.
 Against these perversions he is not we'll protected. It looks big to smoke and chew and that appeals to his ab. normal vanity. It makes him look like an older person and that appeals to his passion for initiating older boys You remember how you learned to "chaw tobacco and spit" when A bis boy from the city used to loaf at the saw mill with you smaller boys and swagger and cuss and chew. AS we'll poison the milk and meat and canned goods as to pervert the powers by which the food is judged and selected
 But the most serious aspect of it is that his food has so much to do with his mind and character. Chemical changes in his body are paralleled by changes in his emotions. The heart of the soul responds to the physical heartbeat. At the time when the physical hunger is greatest, his mind and heart hungers are most restless AS his body absorbs food. his inner being absorhs truth and love and all the elements of character. Character takes tone and cast from its physical home. Food and physical surround lngs get built into the inner being.

His Appetite

This Is capacious subject, wide and deep and long A boy, when ask ed if he could name the three graces, said, Yes; breakfast. dinner and sup per"
 He eats because he has an appetite; he has an appetite because he has to have food; he has to have food be- cause he has body to build, and Is building 1t entirely out of food-solid and liquid foods. He has to build house in which his growing soul can have plenty of room, which will also be the machine for accomplishing his mission in the world-all of 1t built out Of food He is also accommodating reserves with which to meet the drafts that life's duties and exigencies will make on him
 It must also be said that the food supply is partially used up in his activities. That is the way his body assimilates the material. and 1t takes food to keep him going. His first six years are his most active time, and he does not slow up much till he is 16 At 16 his brain Is fully grown, though his mind is not. and his heaviest eat ing Is just as he is finishing the brain structure. So we can say that the two reasons for his great consumption of food supplies are his constant actiy- ities and his building enterprises building.
 That appetite of his, unless it is tempered with. is one of the most in telligent of all the faculties with which he works, and helps him solve some vital and far-reaching problems His judgment will help some when 1t learns some things But the appetite Is looking after his interests all the time, desiring and discriminating and appropriating and discarding. For the building he Is erecting and the machine he is constructing out of his food, re- quire three things-a great variety of material, the best quality and great quantities. In his body are such ele- ments as lime and phosphorus and carbon and hydrogen and nitrogen and others. They all come to him in his food and are built into his body. They must be in the right proportion. too, If he gets too much lime. he will be too bony. Too much phosphorus will turn him into a will O the wisp.
 No boy knows the proportion in which he needs them at a given time and no man can teach him. There is where his appetite comes in and saves the day, To keep him from negIecting to eat, nature keeps him hungry all the tine; and to keep him from over

Los Angeles, Cal.-A novel wedding occurred the other day when Max Botefuhr and Miss Avis c. Doebler. daughter of William Doebler. . re- tired capitalist. were married in an automobile as the car glided under the palm trees in Westlake park.
 The ceremonies began at the Sev- enth street entrance and when the car arrived at the Sixth street en- trance the happy young couple were man and wife. When the automobile entered the park Rev. Cassius Morton Carter. pastor of the First Baptist church, arose with book in hand. We are standing here together In the sight of God and man"
 "Go little slower" said the bride groom-to-be. We want 1t all to hap pen in the park"
 The minister continued:

 The minister continued: .If anyone can show just cause why they should not be joined together. let him now stand forward or forever"

 Hold his peace." the minister was looking pretty serious.

During these years, he has the same two needs-plenty of play; something worth initiating and that something a person.
 3 Early childhood. from six to about nine. He has just finished the period of greatest physical activity of his whole life. It has been a period of instincts and impulses, working au- tomatically Now he is ready to saii out on new waters. He has great ae- cumulations of power, in his muscles and in his memory. Memory has stores for thought and a different kind of impulses; play becomes more com pleX and business like; habit comes to his aid to conserve what he has al ready acquired; he begins to see the distinctions between right and wrong with his own perceptions and not through example alone. He needs au- thority now-clear, accurate. master ful, yet sympathetic.
 4. Later childhood, from nine to twelve. His absorptive power Is very active. He absorbs food and truth and lnvo and iHnac plou n ha , team work. Conscience grows more exaeting. Imagination has been at work all along. creative imagination. seeing things that are yet to be and building dream life for himself As nearly as l can remember from my own experience and as we'll as can judge, from certain boy whom know pretty well, I think the image

 5. Early adolescence, from twelve to sixteen. The social nature awakes He is conscious of relationships Hid den powers and propensities come into his consciousness; will power and | judgment rise up. Latent impulses are released. Religious feelings be- come acute. It is the chum period. Nerves are unsteady. Nutrition is ir- regular. Hungers are active, for food, for friends, for kindness, for sym
 pathy. His voice shows it. His con fused self-consciousness shows it 6. Maturing adolescence from six
 teen on. The brain Is full grown. h. tellect takes control Emotions are restless. Doubts have their day. Per sonal relations become fixed After the upheayals, life becomes related and reliable. He needs a true intelli. gent sympathetic friend

Mumps and bumps, ills and epochs await him. The former is only one of many diseases disputing his path or dogging his unsuspecting footsteps. Millions of microbes infest the air and the water. and certain squads of them have been detailed to concentrate their whole attention on him.
 But his epoehs are experiences which no vigilance Of parents or phy- sicians or teachers can protect him against. Every psychologist in our country and in foreign countries has said so. And so t is They have prepared these entertainments for him along the way and their invitation is mandatory. He has to pass over the bumps, as Major Powell had to pass over the rapids of the Colorado river, in exploring the Grand canyon.
 Now let us try to get line on each of those epochs and see just what 1t means, at the same time marking back 10 our own early days for yerification. Three general periods are clearly dis uishable-infancy from birth to six; childhood, from six to twelve adolescence, from twelve to twenty two, or maturity. Then there are lit tie turning points within these periods. so that we can say there are at least seven stages of his road to manhood. The bounds are fixed only in a general way, for we know that one boy may be seven or eight years In reaching the six years stage. Notice more in detail:
 l. Babyhood proper, from birth to three years. Several clear marks are seen. Every action Is automatic at first. Senses connect up with the out side world; slowly. Sights and sounds and odors are identified Imitation is the regnant law. He smiles and laughs and frowns in answer to your smiles and laughter and frowns. He Is i'm patient or loving as your are He does 1t automatically and 1t costs you very little. Be careful. It is a golden pc riod with him. Play is his chief di- version, but 1t Is automatic.
 Do two things for him. Give him play. Give him something worth imi- tating.
 2. Later infancy. from three to six or seven. Along about seven he Is gliding over the first falls, but he will not know what 1t is, unless he Is told till he goes of to college and studies phychology. Imitation Is still the chief law of his life. play Is still his chief employment, but 1t has grown more voluntary He likes other children chiefly because he can play with them By and by, he will play with them mainly because he likes them. The dramatic expression of himself in play is normal. He acts the part of an. other with pleasure He prefers to Initiate grown men, especially men of might and daring. Without hesitation

That the trend of immigration

due to habit as any other wise. Some
day the tide will necessarily turn
South. The completion of the Pana-

course of commerce North and South
instead Of East and West as it has
been heretofore, and then, very like
ly, immigration will come this way.

Comment:

Here lies the difference between
such cases as Upton Sinclair's and
the ordinary case Of immortality:
When man marries a woman be-
lieving that the tie is not binding
upon him any longer than it is ag-
greeable, he is apt to have an eye out
for a woman more attractive than
his wife. Likewise, when a woman
enters into weldock with a mental
reservation that she can quit her
husband and take up with any man
that comes along and pleases her bet
ter than her husband, she is more
than apt to keep a sharp lookout for
just such a man. And the man is
sure to turn up, sooner or later.
The manner in which Mrs. Sinclair
defled her home, sinned with her
husbands friend and guest, deserted
her child, and then justified her con-
duct as being the correct thing, un-
der Socialism, is enough, of itself to
pIOFS WAdG d OcLSSlOuS uCCIIlIIG IL
is.
Afterwards, Sinclair, his wife and
her paramour all three sat down to-
g,ather, amicably and discussed what
had occurred, just as though it were
a common affair. This shows the
Socialist state OF mind.
No state of mind could be much
more dangerous to the home, to the
church and to the cause of good
morals.
See how different it is under our
system. We vow lifelong union and
fidelity. Our state of mind is, this
woman is mine: she will never again
think Of other men. The husband is
hers: he will never think of other
women"
Now, in some cases the wife is
tempted and falls; in others, the hus-
band goes astray. But, almost in
variably, the wife keeps her VOWS;
and the per centage Of married men
who lead the Double life, is compare
