Creating Dual Personalities.
We have in the past centered our warn
ings to youth around two things-alcohol
and tobacco. About these things youth
need not be taught There are but two
ways possible to prevent use Of these
drugs-punishment, a doubtful way al
ways; preaching. more doubtful way
than punishment. Preaching and threats
have so become a part OF our school sys-
tem-because you have to listen and
might makes right-that We, right from
the start. begin making dual personali-

many smaller buildings.
Furthermore, having built them, they
maintain them; the upkeep Is nearly per-
feet, and this is easy because there IL
no abuse Of property. The boys con.
tinualiy suggest improvements for the
betterment of school and grounds.
Sixty thousand dollars have been spent
in building material which has been
turned over to these lads that they
might study sex hygiene. The boy con-
structiveiy busy builds body and soul: he
sleeps well and eats rightly.
An athlete need not be q moral agent

most any line of athletics and be un-

There is not time for profiisacy.
We had better soon commence to con-
slider our adolescents In active-wise and
drop the attempt to phrase them into
men and women who will later produce
other men and women, not wasteful
delinquents. We talk too much because
new experiences are SO rare, our minds
become sterile. We need activity of
chores and the suffering Of tired muscles
spent IN unselfish labor to open new
vistas. We talk too much-let's learn to

Forest Notes,

The Balkan War has brought about
q rise in certain lumber prices In
Europe. because of the big demand for
wood for ammunition.
Dogwood, the principal source OF
shuttles for use in cotton mills, is
growing scarcer year by year, and
various substitutes are being tried
but with no great success.
The officials of the Yosemite Hat
iona Park are cooperating with the
forest officers of the Stanislaus and
Sierra national forests for fire proven
tion and control in both the park anG
and the forests.
Experiments with three planting
maching at the Utah Agriculture
Experiment Station indicate that il
may be used to advantage in reforest
ing old burned areas on the national
forests.
The leading forest schools of the
country not only have their own
forests tracts for continuous expert
ments, but give their students actual
experience in the woods by having
them take part in big numbering
oper atoms.

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is ouly one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
rememsdies. Deafness is caused by
an infiamed condition OF the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infaned YOU have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely CLOSED. Deafnesc
is the result, and unless the inflam
nation can be saken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
damned condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
