the region of whispered conservation to

Change in Ten Years.

Ten years ago articles such as are now
appearing in the magazines and the press
would have been impossible, and adver-
tisements of quacks, which then were nu-
merous in newspapers, are now rarely
seen in daily paper. What has brought
about this change? a campaign Of edu-
cation. This was begun in America by
the organization of the American Society
for Sanitary and Moral Prophylaxis. in
1905. Since then over twenty-five such So
cieties have been organized in different
parts OF the United States. These So
cieties have distributed hundreds of thou
sands o: leaflets. Many lectures have
been given under the auspices OF these
societies and in many localities the pub
lie has been aroused 10 action.
Boards of health have been led to a
recognition of their duty and have is
sued circulars concerning sex hygiene
4 still larger number of persons have
more recently been reached by articles in
popular magazines. Now more than q
dozen magaZnes are aiding in the CAM
paign for sex hygiene and within the last
year the daily press is beginning to lend
its columns TO tbs great movement. All
this is good educational work.

Education of the Young.

But there is a general consensus of
opinion among the great leaders in the
movement for sex hygiene that the most
fundamental and enduring means for Sc
curing the end is the education of the
young, the getting of proper ideals and
the essential truths 10 children. Most
of these leaders urge that the pupils of
the secondary schools colleges and uni
verst.es should be taught the truths of
sex. Some would have these facts taught
in the elementary schools, for three
fourths of those who enter school never
reach the high school. Moreover, If this
instruction Is deferred to high school age
il may come too late. Ideally this in
struction should be given by the par
ents but as the majority of parents at
present are not qualified To give this in
struction the duty may devOlve on teaoil-
ers and therefore, many urge that sexual
phenomena form an integral part OF the
course of normal schools.

Welcome Democratic Victory

Although the prospects for a complete
Democratic success in November are be-
coming brighter each day, it is observ-
able that the business men OF the coun-
try are not in the least alarmed. The
conduct Of the Democratic house Of
Representatives under the sane and
progressive leadership Of Speaker
Champ Clark and Floor Leader Oscar
Urftierwood is an assurance that the
legitimate business interest of t b Q
country have nothing to fear through
democratic ascendancy. No one out
side the lunatic asylum would want to
insure any leg;aimated business by a
hairs breath. Amy measure that tends
to build up an american industry with
out infringing upon the rights of the
consumer is approved by democrats in
Congress and those who are candidates
for congress. For the first time in a
score OF years the business interest are
not raising the prediction bugaboo
about Democratic success meaning
business ruin.

Build Cheese Factories

State Dairy Commissioner r. l. Coch-
ran and A. X. Risser OF Colorado Springs
dairy commissioner Of the United States
agricultural department, have spent
much Of their time during the last three
weeks visiting points in eastern Colora
do and on the western slope. They ad-
dressed meetings Of farmers and dairy
men and also visited dairies, and thus
have come into contact with those who
furnish dairy products for the market.
Cochran and Risser have been advising
the farmers and dairymen to organize
cooperative associations, the main OBJ
iect Of which is to establish cream cries
and cheese factories in their respective
communities.
Either creamery or a cheese factory
can be built at comparatively small
cost by cooperation and it is argued,
the dairyman can secure better financial
returns for the product he is to sell il
he disposes OF it at the co-oi erative
cheese factory or creamery than IL he
shipped it long distance to ths big
creameries.
The movement, it is understood, is
meeting with much opposition FROM
those in control OF the big creameries.
Yea there has been much complaint
from dairymen, who assert they are re-
ceiveing but small share of the returns
to which they are entitled for their pro-
ducts. -Limon Express.
