Could you mobilize on short notice q?
Is your individual physical equipment
always in condition to meet the de
mands Nature may thrust upon it?
Could you run half mile if you life
were at stake? Could you do half
a days manual labor with safety?
Of course. you may say with per
feet truth that there are not apt to
be any such demands upon you. You
earn your daily bread by mental eX-
ertion But are you sure that your
mental equipment is at par? Chances
ore that the man who permits himself
to deterorate physically cannot reach
the maximum of lis mental capacity.
Nature meant the human animal to
have considerable physical eNertion 10
maintain life. Complexities of mod
ern civilization have forced many men
and women into occupations where it
requires effort to find time tor even
. little exercise. To accept such q
condition with some superficial eX-
preston of regret and move along un-
I'll Nature declares war.
You can make no treaties to insure
your safety under such conditions
Nothing short of consistent policy
of moderate exercise and temperate
living will prepare you to meet the
vital individual emergency. Your turn
r;ill surely come. Are you ready?
Personal pride should offer suffi-
cient incentive to man OF woman

BY Jim Nance. .
Alas! This chilly weather
Brings several things to mind;
It pleases every inside man
Who sits at daily grind.
Twill check the awful sweating
That we have done for weeks;
Twill put the color of a rose
Within the baby's cheeks.
But, on the other hand, it's sad
D Too far the cool wave reaches;
Twill put a stop to costumes scant
On all our bathing beaches.

CONTROLLING BIRTH

CONTROLLING BlRTH.-It seems
strange when articles appear of in
terest to the workingman and are
easily within his reach they are at
once branded offensive" and "crim-
inaT' by our moraGsts and reformers.
l refer to Mrs. Sanger's articles,
which have just read and which are
being so severely criticized.
Perhaps they are offensive" to the
critics who derive large profits from
the suppositories now sold from 81
to $3.50 per dozen. Offensive" it
must be to them that working
mans wife should learn that lysol,
chinosal, ETC., are antiseptics; indeed
criminal" for now she can make
these suppositories at home for
about 25 cents per dozen.
Abortion" doesn't sound nice, but
Mrs. Sanger forces it on no one. The
rest of the paragraphs deal purely
with hygienic measures. The anat-
omy and physiology she enlightens
her sex on are fundamentals taught
in medical colleges (only you pay
from $125 to $3.50 per year for it,,
while the suppositories she speaks of
are often prescribed by reputable
physicians to their patients.
Our reformers and moralists con-
tinually harp" that birth control
ling" is the committal of a mortal
sim" Let them answer us honestly,
which is more sinful, birth control
through hygienic precautions or
through ignorance? Let us raise as
many hddies as possible. When they
are old enough let them work for
the trust bosses at starvation wages
If they rebel by all means permit the
trust bosses to hire sluggers, thugs
and police. Let our own flesh get

IDLE HANDS TRoUBLEMAKERS.
When l read of so many crimes
committed by boys between the ages
of IA and Is it makes me feel awfully
bad. 1t seems to me some one ought
to start an employment agency, for
it is high time something is being
done. There are so many boys idle
and they get in bad company.
now have a boy out in Pontiac
who went wrong and from nothing
else but idleness. He looked for
work so long that he got discouraged
and fell in bad company. There is
a nice boy, a grammer school gradu-
ate, in our block who has been look
ing for work for a long time and l
suppose he will be next.
There certainly must be work in so
large city, but it seems they don't
just know how to find it. That's why
suggest that some one start an en-
ployment Office down town for boys
that come out of school.
There are a great many boys who
would work if given a chance. 1t
certainly seems a shame to see them
all sent to reform schools. l long
for the time when my boy will come
home and l dread it, too. He writes
to me regularly and feels so bad for
what he has done, but when he
comes out they will all turn him
down. 1t was hard for him to get
work before What will it be then?
