 TEN SEX TALKS TO BOYS" By I. D. Steinhardt, M. D. J. B. Lippin-
 colt Company, Publishers, Philadelphia
 Is there a boy in your family? Have you son, brother, nephew or cous- in-'just a boy' of any degree of rela- tionship to you? What do you want that boy to be?
 Ask yourself whether you wish this boy to have any kinship of nature or fortune with the men of the street corner the sa- loon the dark places of the earth-men from whom all self respecting persons turn in disgust?
 What are you doing to safeguard him against it? Every boy has a hundred temptations to his sisters one If it is of the highest importance, as many au- thorities agree, that our girls should bs taught knowledge that will protect them from danger, it is at least equally so that our boys should not be wantonly sacri- feed to evil, in their inexperience and ignorance of the dangers of the world.
 In Ten Sex Talks to Boys," Dr. I. D. Steinhardt has put in the simplest, most straightforward and wholesome way the knowledge that would hold back e9 out of 100 boys from evil courses, if it were given them at the right time Such men as Judge Lindsey of national fame as q savior of neglected boys and girls, have Set the seal of approval upon this book. The judge says. in part: "It is little short of crime in this day and age to withhold instruction from youth on this important subject"
 If you would have your boy become a manly man. keep him a manly boy. All of us want out 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 unfitted morally and phys ically to become manly men. We have n vain faith that after the wild oats are sown. the man ca nagain become pure of heart, upright of soul, manly ard 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 physician s consulting room and in thousands of lives darkened by disease disgrace and death.
 Give your boy the protection of pure knowledge offered by pr. Steinhardt's s bt ok, that he may turn from the per version of truth in manly scorn when 1t Is offered him by the emissaries of evil There is nothing in this book that will weaken his love of the good the Lure, the reverence he instinctively in his thoughts about every good girl 1, hc is near or dear to him. Protect your boy--and do it now--before the first whisper of temptation grows loud in his ears--before his footsteps have tsken hold upon moral and physical perdition. which they may never retrace to the world of manly men! sTHE AMAZING ADVENTURES or SOPHIE LYONS.
