of New York, Writes Of Facts Which Every Neg
Iected Boy Should Know

In Chicago some years ago there
dwelt young man of singularly
prepossesaing appearances. He HAD
come from one of the villages of the
prairie land. His attachments and
his bright mental powers stood him
in good stead after he obtained a
position in a well-known house in
Randolph street. Not far from his
place of employment there was
cafe, a lure which the young man
could not resist. He began to fire.
quent 1t soon after he came to Chi
cago, having been led into it by
man distinguished for his ability as
an advertising agent for the Chicago
Tribune and the Daily News, and, as
well, for his capacity as whiskey
drinker
This man had no scruples of any
kind and he was friend of all the
fastest men in the business circles
of the great city. 1t was not long
before he introduced his young ac-
quaintanee to many of these in
dividuals and soon, guided by them,
the boy made his debut on "The
Levee,' in South Clark street. in
Wabash avenue at Twenty-second
street, and in various other places,
since that time somewhat purified by
the efforts of Miss Jane Adams and
her co-workers.
Suddenly the boy disappeared from
the clearinghouse in Clark street,
where he lived He was seen no more
in the cafe in Randolph street. In
qulries about him were answered
with shrug of the shoulders and
a leer.
One beautiful summer evening one
who had fancied the boy greatly for
his beauty of face and grace of figure
was walking to his home in Rush
street. He had crossed the Clark
street bridge and had nearly reached
ontario street, when in a doorway he
saw young man who reminded him
strongly of the youth. He went up to
him and looked in his face, though
the boy shrank back. 1t was the
youth from the Western village But
who among his friends would have
known him? He was haggard, his
face was drawn. In the waning light
his countenance was the hue of death
His once beautiful brown hair, crop
ped close. had fallen until his scalp
was bare in patches.
To avert the danger of such wrecks,
of such destruction of young man
hood, DIR. |. d. Steinhardt has written
a book entitled, 'Ten Sex Talks to
Boys" DR.. Steinhardt is an eminent
physician of New York, on the staff
of Mount Sinai Hospital, and mem
Der of many scientific societies. He
has been SO impressed with the dread
effects of certain diseases of youths
that he has published facts which
related in the simplest most straight
forward style, moreover. with no
reservations, would restrain and save
ninety-nine out of hundred young
men If they should read them.
Upon this book such men as Judge
Lindsey, of national fame as a savior
of neglected boys and girls. have set
the seal of approval. The judge says,
in part:
IF you would have your boy be-
come a manly man, keep him manly
boy. All of us want our boys to be
manly men. But we go about making
them such in very strange way.
Many of us deliberately allow them to
walk in evil ways-to sow their wild
oats'-to become untitled morally and
physically to become manly men. We
have a vain faith that after the wild
oats are sown the man can again be-
come pure of heart, upright of soul,
manly and strong, when he has been
none of these things during the years
when his character was forming.
That the faith is vain is proved in
our insane asylums, hospitals, every
physicians consulting room and in
thousands of lives darkened by dis
ease, disgrace and death.
Give your boy the protection of
pure knowledge offered by DR.. Stein
hardt's book, that he may turn from
the perversion of truth in manly scorn
when it is offered him by the ennis
saries of evil. There is nothing in this
book that will weaken his love of the
good, the pure, the reverence he in
stinctively feels for womanhood, the
guard he sets in his thoughts about
