The number of persons addicted to

constantly growing. With the object
OF warning the country, the United
States government has issued bull
letin, cautioning the people against
what is known as the "habit-forming'
compounds. The experts employed
by the government are certain that
new drug fiends are being created
every year through the insidious pat
ent medicine and the soft drink that
contain a trace OF the narcotic agents
which finally form the terrible drug
habit. There are 100 sanitaria
throughout the country for the cure

Every boy looks forward. with spe-
,ial delight. to the time when he will
be his own man, as he likes to phrase
It, at least, as we boys used to express
1t. BY that, he means the tine when
he can do as he wishes, as the grown
folks do, and not be responsible to
anyone but himself; when he can
luit going to school and running on
errands, IL he wishes.
II he does not know 1t at first, he
has TO learn that he does not become
his own man by simply passing out
from under the control of his parents,
but by coming under the control Of
his own higher nature--his judgment
and will and conscience. When he
reaches the age for taking himself out
Of the hands of HIS parents. just as
they once reached similar age, he
must have been so trained in the
mastery of himself that he Is ready
for the new responsibility. And I'M
less he has been given little tasks in
self direction all along, and more and
more, as he got used to it. he will
have too big job on his hands all at
once. The best thing his father and
mother ever do for him is to teach
him to get along without them. while
they take their place beside him as
companions and friends.
Many boy is, in fact, wiser than
his parents and IS so recognized be
fore he Is old enough to be free from
the law of obedience. but It is not a
good thing to let him know that they
think him wiser. BEFORE he is really
his own man two things are neces-
sary. He must reject any other mas.
ter and must secure positive and per
sonal control over every power of his
body and mind. Three rivals will dis
pute his right.
One rival Is some strong personality
In the form of boy who appeals to
lis weakness or even bis good traits.
II that boy controls him. he is not his
own man. Another rival Is public sen.
timent, in the form OF the bunch or
gang with which he goes. A boy will
help make laws for the crowd without
feeling the need of any discipline for
himself and yet he Is not his own man
rs long as e allows them 10 dominate
his private life.
His other rival Ia found on the In.
side, among the passions and I'm
pulses and fancies which are likely to
tnko the reins of government in hand
any minute. A hot temper Is one of
those rivals. When he Is controlled
by temper or jealously or envy, when
DE let's any vulgar passion run away
with him, that becomes his master
The effect Of this Is to weaken his
will, confuse his judgment and duh
his conscience.
When a boy becomes his own man

W lars day IL the record that will
be established throughout the United
States as the expenditure for I'M
proving and maintaining public roads.
Never before In the history OF the
country has there been such interest
IN the improvement Of highways. and
with the legislatures Of the states ap-
propriating millions of dollars for
this purpose, the good roads move
ment has received It's greatest i'm
petus since the foundation OF the re-
public.
The money that will be expended
on the roads Of this country during
the next six months will be more
than ever before in the same period
of time. In 1904 the total expendi-
ture for the construction and main
tanning Of roads and bridges In the
United States amounted TO about
$S0.000,000, but the expenditure for
this purpose in 1911 will aggregate
about O,550,000 Exclusive OF Sun

II ownership OF something Is es-
sential for q man, 1t Is for boy as
we'll 1t lie necessary in a man be-
cause God has put him in the midst of
things that are to be owned, has given
him a desire for possession and has
distinctly told him to subdue and use
them.
So boy must begin to have things
of his own, for he needs training
In that, as well as In his memory or
reasoning or power OF speech. Through
his memory, he owns much; through
laying UP something, he is providing
for the future and increasing his pres
ent enjoyments and opportunities.
One can own only what he can
know and use. The vagrant has moth
Ing to enjoy; the very rich own very
little Of what they have, because they
cannot enter into It, just as a man
can have great supplies of food, but
only assimilate one meal at time.
But some men are like an arrow-go
through life and accumulate nothing.
A boy must crafty that desire, Sc
cure that discipline and feel that re-
sponsibility, by owning and caring
for and managing something He must
have his own comb and brush, toys,
books, clothes and articles of useful
ness. His pockets show his passion

things entirely useless, except to
boy-knife, tops, marbles, bean
shooters, beeswax, bullets, buckles,
lead. scrap iron, slings, strings, fish
ing hooks, fishing lines fishing worms
chewing gum, licorice, candy, pills.
There is an age when he is more
active In such enterprises, but he Is
doing the same thing he does when
he amasses wealth. He has trading
age, from about eleven to fifteen,
when he will trade any thing he has
for any thing any other boy has-cats
and dogs and pigeons and toys and
any of the things he carries in his
poChtlS.
He must not only possess things,
but take care of them as well. The
penalty for not having what he can
call his own is that he never has
anything to give to others, is thrift
less, selfish, begging, borrowing and
tempted to steal what he would like
to have. Possessions mean power
and thrift is preparation for peace
He cannot take care of his own
things unless he has place for them
which Is his own. That is one of the
reasons why a boy should have a
room, and trunk, and the equipment
with which he can take care of his
things. That Is not the only reason

Midshipmen Being Trained for Japan

THE 1874 rnidshipmen who recently
! graduated at the United States
naval academy, and whom it is pro-
posed to create ensigns as soon as
possible, have in the last year OF
their course received special training
to fit them peculiarly for war with
Japan. A member of the class has
let the secret out. The hundreds Of
other middies will be similarly treat
ed. The members of the graduating
class during the last four months
have been familiarized with the prin-
cipal naval bases. ornaments. naval
forces, and resources Of Japan, and
they have in theory fought naval
battles with Japan.
II could not be learned who had
given the orders to instruct the mid
shipmen what to do in case of war
with Japan. and the greatest possible
secrecy has been maintained while
the teaching was going on. In many
Of the places and Instructions the
name Of JapaI, was not mentioned at
all, and the author of them simply
said, the navy of the strongest

II was further stated by the In
former that he understood the So
graduating cadets at West Point. n.
Y. had received the same instruc-
tions as to land fighting that the mid
shipmen had in naval warfare. The
member OF the class upon promise
that his name should not be revealed,
said.
The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1911-07-06

I'VE have been taught what to do
in a moments notice in case of war
with Japan. OF course some OF the
papers. and, in fact. a majority of
them. did not mention Japan. They
said an island empire or an Asiatic
nation or something like that, We
have in theory, fought war on both
sides of the continent-namely: on
both the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.
1t has been determined by members
of our class and by the naval officers
instructing us that in the event of
our fleets being but few miles south
or north of the Pacific coast, Japan
could land force of men so large as
to control sufficiently the entire west
coast.
THE west coast is the only logical
place where Japan could get an en-
trance, for in coming any other way
their vessels would be detected and
stopped. We of this class-and |
might as we'll say that such thing
has never been done before--have
had the strength and bases of Japan's
resources drummed into our heads
until it would be impossible to forget
them"
