is rather to mitigate rather than to
exaggerate. In the physical world
the miasma is most successfully
combatted by prevention; by condi-
lions that will make its incubation
impossible. Are not the same meth
DDS necessary and practical in moral
life?"

same time the best wishes to you
and to good old Abilene and most
cordial wishes for. your good and
for your prosperity and well-being.
"The membranes of the years
we lived at Abilene are full of hap
py scenes as now recalled. There
were strifes and there were also
griefs that come to common hu-
manity and there will always be
some people that we, nor any one
can please. There are also business
activities however honest OF well
meant that are misunderstO ID and
with the others we may have been
accused of desire. to crowd. Still as
/ view my sojurn among the good
folks tof Abilene it was happy
period.
'My lines have again been extend
ed and my cares though less In de-
tail are to be after June list much
more responsible. l will have charge
of the Wells Fargo business from
Kansas City to Texarkana, Texas,
and their branches on and from the
Kansas City Southern. This promo
ton comes at a time that I feel
most rewarded on account OF my
strenuous efforts to meet all the
changing conditions. My work will
be to promote and develop the fruit
and vegetable patronage. MY SUI
perior officers will be in New York 7
and will need to make occasional
trips there. Kindest regards to ALL"

girls who do not have to thus meet
the world.
Lack of actual privileges leads
to places where moral miasma Is
dense and plentiful. We are all
creatures of social instinct. Just be-
cause a woman works all day meas
uring ribbon, keeping books, in the
kitchen or elsewhere, does not
change the fact that she wants t.
enjoy the championship of others.
1t is right and proper that she should
have this enjoyment. If you are not
familiar with the streets social pos
sibilities, start out some evening
about 1890, visit the parks, the
shady drives, drug stores, soda foun-
tains, depots and restaurants-you
will better understand my meaning,
and realize something Of this source
of Moral Miasma. The heavenly

ing girl is one of many temptations.
LACK of parental supervision and
training is a basic cause of delin-
quency in both sexes. You as moth
ers know whether your duty is fully
performed in this regard. You know
whether your SON and daughter are
being taught the foundation princi-
pies of right living, right thinking
and correct moral standards. Do
you set the right example, do you
teach the correct principle? Do
you impart to your children that !
knowledge OF moral and physical
life which you have learned by ex-
perience with the world and its de-
vious ways?
"The home is the place where the
'irst lessons in how to ward off the
stacks Of this Moral Miasma must
be learned. The dazzling allure
nents of the outside world wean the
voung from their better thoughts.
This is especially true of the mex
girls. Any night now, in
our own city, you will find IA and
girls on the streets at
ate hours-in pairs. alone or in !
ompany with young men, The mo- e

conduct; they would have been Z
