Sex Discussion In Sunday Schools.

e Discussion In Sunday o
Chicago, Aug. 4.-The teaching Of
sex hygiene in Sunday schools has
been approved by f. X. Mohr, super
intendent of the purity department of
the International Sunday School asso-
citation.
Sex knowledge will be taught" said
Mr.. MOhr. IF not in the homes and
the Sunday school it will be taught in
the street. Silence is criminal. We
cannot remain inactive. We must
teach these facts and teach them right,
so that knowledge may lead to purity
and righteousness.
with the new awakening and dis
cussion of sex matters the pendulum
has swung from silence to publicity
that is almost nauseating. Literature.
the stage, the newspapers, the movies
have exploited the interest In the sub
1ect. The endeavor to avoid false
modesty may in the end break down
the barriers of real mOdesty.
with the religious atmosphere and
reverent receptive attitude Of the Sun
day school it is eminently fitted to
bear the message of the knowledge
that tends to personal purity. 1t is the
plainest religious strategy"

BACKACHE- RHEUMATISM, QUICKLY vanish

the blood. and drive it out of the
system.
So sure, so positive, so quick and
lasting, are the results obtained from
the use of Croxone, that three doses
a day for few days are often all
that is required to cure the worst
case of backache, regulate the most
annoying bladder disorders, and over
come the numerous other similar
conditions.
1t is the most wonderful prepara-
ton ever made for the purpose. It
is entirely different from all other
remedies. There is nothing else on
earth to compare with it. It is so
prepared that it is practically impos-
sible to take it into the human sys-
tenn without results.
You can obtain an original package
of Croxone at triHing cost from any
first-class drug store. All druggists
are authorized to personally return
the purchase price if Croxone fails to
give desired results, regardless of
how old you are, how long.you have
suffered, or what else has failed to
cure you.

Backache, urinary disorders, and
