Now the purity league" folks
want sex knowledge taught in the
Sunday schools Impure things would
not be discussed half so much if it
were not for these so-called purity"
people. We have no patience with
the prurient ideas which would rob
little children of their innocence by
filling their minds with things they
cannot understand and have no need
to understand until they are near
ing the end of adolescence. 1t used
to be that all the sex KNOWLEDGE
deemed necessary was taught in the
home, and there have never been
turned out better men or purer wom-
en- than those whose instruction in
these matters was thus limited.

HOW TO IMPROVE
CONDITIONS IN FLORIDA

The Lancer, in the Florida Grow
er, writes Interestingly of road con-
ditions, firing forests, etc, in the last
issue of that paper, as follows:
| am asked to attack the practice
of burning over tracts of land on the
ground that every fire takes more
humus out of the soil than five years
can put back again. 1t is the COM
mon practice in Florida for the cat
tlemen to start fires on all vacant
land that their stock is running
over, not their own land mind you,
but land belonging to others, so that
the grass will start up quicker in
the spring. These fires are not par
ticularly dangerous, but they do run
through thickets and burn much of
value that the soil would otherwise
take up and convert into humus. and
they also for a time bring ruin to
the appearance of the landscape and
injure the turpentine operators
many thousands of dollars. am not
taking up the cudgei for the turpen-
tine men, for they in turn have done
more to ruin the appearance Of the
country than any other factor,
though l suppose that turpentine is
wealth that it would be sin to al
low to lie fallow, but the ugly gashes
on the sides Of the beautiful pines,
speak the agony of the mu-
tilated tree, and are an affliction to
the eye of any lover of nature.

President Wilson predicts an era
of unparalleled prosperity, following
the completion of the administration
antitrust program. With the restor-
alton of settled and stable conditions
and the reforms contemplated by
pending legislation, there seems to
be every reason for confidence in the
correctness of the presidents predic-
ton. Down here in Florida the eff
fects of unrest and general unsettled
business conditions have been felt
less, probably, than in any other part
of the country; but good times in
the North and East, with the result
ant loosening up of money in the
financial centers, will bring high
tide of prosperity to this section, and
a tremendous tourist season, with
large number of investors, is among
next winters probabilities.
