THE EARLY TRAIN
ING OF THE Child
An Excerpt From Sermon Delivered
by Rev. Kamphoefner at
Methodist Church.

The sermon delivered by Rev. C
H. kamphoefner Sunday morning
at the Methodist church was one O.
sound practical common sense re
garding the up-bringing Of children
who are the future citizens of the
United States. All parents in the
city should have heard the discourse
and protitted' by it, for it is in the
home that real anarchism begins.
| Extracts of the sermon are given
below for the edification of those
who were unable to hear it. Rev
kamphoefner spoke from the text
found in Judges IS, S-"Teach us
what we shall do unto the child.
He said in part:
The chief interest in the home
centers in the welfare of it's in
mates. Sometimes when we visit the
state fair or county fairs we get the
impression that other things-corn
and cattle and hogs-are Of greater
importances, but let death come 10
claim one of our loved ones, and
everything is sacrificed freely to
check his advance. The good Book
says that all else in the world is
placed here for the happiness and
comfort OF humanity. The special
place of interest in the home is held
by the children. To quote the words
of Longfellow,
"Ah! what would the world be
to us
If the children were no more
Our obligations to the children
involve their physical, mental and
moral training. The burden of their
mental training, under our system
of education, has been shifted large
ly upon the teachers of our public
schools. This means that home aud
school must cooperate to produce
the best results Instead Of finding
fault with teachers who exact obed-

and judiciously apply the same to
the boy or girl who insists upon

Louis, later known as Louis Alll

Madame De Montglas, he wrote her.
saying, "I am vexed with you for
not having sent me word that you

cry time he shows obstinacy in any

This is a wholesome example for
an age that shows altogether too

| To provide for the moral ant
spiritual training of the child, the
home must cooperate with the
church. Parents can easily counter

dren. For example ever breaches
louder than precept.
In this connection, as showing
how far precept and example are
often apart, Mr.. Kamphoefner paid
his respects to the sender of an
onymous communications. He held
up letter that he had received dur
ing the past week,--a reprint of ex-
president Taft's letter opposing pro-
hibition. Across the top of the let
ter had been written with type
writer: "The views of broad
minded man. Would that more had
the courage to stand for the right.
Except for the post-mark showing
that the missive was mailed in Wen
ster City, there was nothing about
either the letter or the envelope to
reveal the identity of the sender.
Commenting upon the letter, Mr..
Kamphoefner said: This man has
his wires crossed. A man doesn't
need any particular courage to ex-
press anti-prohibition views, for
temperance people are not prowling
about to shoot down man who does
not agree with them, like the. whis-
key gang did to George c. Haddock,
in Sioux City. Nor are they steal
ing out at dead of night tc blow up
some ones home, as the saloonists
did the home of John Mahin, in
Muscatine. Evidently the sender OF
this communication needs a little
backbone himself, for he hasn't the
courage of his own convictions. 1t
is a plea for courage from man too
cowardly to sign his own name
The sermon then proceeded to the
discussion of when the training OF
the child shall begin. The text was
quoted with the four words that fol-
lowed it. Teach us what we shall
do unto the child that shall be
born" Some one has said that the
training of the child should begin
a hundred years before the child was
born, and another has facetiously re-
marked that one of the most import
ant things that any one has to do
in life is to choose first of all a good
father and mother. A professor at
Bonn University traced the descend
ants of a woman who for forty years
was thief, drunkard and a
tramp" and whose miserable llfe
came to an end in the last year OF
the eighteenth century. she was
known to have had SS4 descendants
of whom the lives Of 7O9 could be
traced. Of this number l42 were
beggars, and Ga more lived on char
ity. Among the women $50 NVed
disreputable lives; 76 were convlcts,
including { murderers. The cost TO
the state in rs years was estimated
at S1,25O,OOO. In contrast to TINS

the descendants of Jonathan Ed

one hundred and ninety-seven years

ITALY WARS ON TURKEY.
Rome Resents Moslems' Detention of Her citizens-venizelos In Control
 In Greece-5uIsars Mass Troops.

Italy has declared war against Tur- key.
 The reasons given for ltaly's declnra- tio of war were the support of Turkey of the revolt in Libya and the preven- tion of the departure of Italian resi- dents from syria.
 A Reuter- dispatch from Constants nople. via Berlin and Amsterdam. says that the umbassador has left the Turk ish capital. /
 Advires from Italian sources declare that several transports laden with troops aud escorted by warships have departed from Naples, Syracuse, Ia ranta and Brmdisi for an unknown destination. They sailed under sealed orders. II is generally believed that they are to be employed for operations against Turkey.
 Ii is stated now on good authority that joint military action by Italy with England, France and Russia against Turkey was arranged by the Italian General Pirro during his visit to the Anglo French front in July. Plans studied then. it is said, can immediate ly be put into action.
 A dispatch to Paris from Salonika says that Bulgaria has concentrated l50.oo0 troops on the Turkish frontier. Telegrams from the Balkan capitals state that Turko-Bulgarian relations have reached the breaking point and that Turkey Is strengthening her forti. lications in TlrSace because of the fear of a Bulgarian invasion.
 Dispatches from Athens indicate that the Grecfan situation is just as tangled and complicated now as it was before Mir. venizelos. formerly premier, consented to King Constantines re- quest that he form a new cabinet.
 1t is thought that several days will be required for the formation of the new cabinet, and in the end, it is ex- pected, King Constantine and Mir. venizelos will agree to maintain the present policy of neutrality.

 Kidney troubles are getting more common every day. Government health bureau figures say deaths from this cause are 72 per cent more than 20 years ago.
 Anybody who suffers constant back ache, who feels blue, nervous and irri- table; who has dizzy spells, headache and urinary disorders should suspect kidney weakness. Overworked kid neys must have a rest Take things easier; live more carefully. Take a good kidney remedy to build the k1d neys up again.
 But be sure to get Doan's Kidney Pills-the oldest, the most widely used, the best recommended of all kid ney pills, now in use all over the civil ized world Don't experiment. with your kidneys. Thousands have already tested Doan's. You have their expert ence to go by. Plenty of cases right here in Canaan. Here s one:
