EET PROMISE to keep the secrets.
not to give away the pass
word. and not tell any one
where the cave is, and / will steal
all can for the good Of the order.
The foregoing is quoted from the
membership pledge of boy gang
living in an ordinary city. This
paper was one of several regularly
signed and was concealed in Sc
cret cache in a secret cave among
lot of stolen books and bric-a-brac
dear to- the heart Of ordinary boys.
The members of this gang, in so
far as could be learned, were the
sons of good families and aged
thirteen to fifteen. If your half
grown boy is running loose during
the summer with no work to do ana
without any responsible program or
guidance, you may be assured that
be is out with a gang that is COM
hitting more or less petty thieVery.
It is time for all honest people to
admit that stealing is natural
human trait during A certain period
Of childhood and that il tends to
remain a part of the habit until It
is corrected by discipline and ap-
peals to the higher judgment. The
fact that all the human young are
natural-born thieves and that they
for a while thus behave unconscious
OF any WronEdOinE is probably the
basic warrant for the old command
ment. Thou hsslt not steal"
While some boys are more prone
to steal than others, all need to
have this old racial practice worked
out of their systems through train
ing before we can be assured that
they will drop the tendency perma-
nently. You may take il for grant
ed, therefore, that the adult thief is
usually one who has been neglected
in his carly discipline and guidance.
Vacation time is peculiarly a sea-
son for juvenile stealing, and idle
ness is most frequently at the bot
tom OF the trouble. As "A rule boys
steal only the small articles needed
in their affairs-Iike guns, knives
flashlights. books, and things to cat.
The young gang referred to had
nearly all these things hidden in
their cave.
Watch your idle boy. His like
are stealing everywhere. Tho fact
that he belongs TO good Family"
makes not whit Of difference. He
viii stay by his gang and help them
steal If that is a part Of their bust
ness. Right under the nose OF the
merchant you may frequently de-
tect the bunch-if you know how
taking bananas. melons. fruit, and
trinkets Also the outlying or
chards. chicken roosts. and gar
dens will suffer from their piIfer-
ing depredations.
Nov, parents, let Us cut off this
thievery business at its tap roots
Let US understand that every nor
NAL boy has a stealing propensity
TO correct and work over into a
higher disposition. Let US furnish
every boy with a wholesome self
corrective program for his open
periods.

Don't Eat Too
Much Meat
By Brice Belden, NJ. D.

V VARIOUS eminent inyestiga-
" tors have proven that flesh
foods contain poisons known
as toxins which are capable OF pro-
ducing changes in the vital organs.
Metchnikoff, Voix, Bouchard. Roger
and BIGGER are the authorities for
this statement.
The too free use OF flesh foods
brings about subtle changes in the
human organism which lay the
foundation for more or less obscure
systemic disorders OF a chronic ma
ture. Chronic Bright's, hardening
OF the liver. pernicious anemia,
chronic intestinal catarrh, various
skin disorders and certain nervous
diseases are now believed to bear
some relation at times to excessive
meat eating.

rat for three weeks upon an exclu
sive meat and water diet. The
rat died from administration with
shriveling of the thyroid gland.

tically the elimination Of meat from

obtained when the diet includes

"Oh, you and me aren't goin' to-

And, besides that, Miss Leighton
says she wants you to stay in to-

a good girl to get that note to
Smith. I'll see to it that he takes
the two Of us somewhere soon"
Then, as the cook entered the
kitchen. Norah susbided into si-
lence. The cook was a middle-aged
woman and had scant patience with
the "goings-on" of young girls.
Mr.. Leighton and his daughter
had callers that evening. 1t was
after IL o'clock when Desiree went
to her room for the night
She was almost ready for bed
when her eyes fell upon the sheet
OF pink paper still lying on her
desk. where she had tossed it some
hours ago.
Il forgot to look at the thing"
she muttered, unfolding it.
1t had no address on it, and the
writing was that of one not accus-
toned to the use Of the pen.
81 did not get a chance to tell you
until now" Desiree read. that l

take me tothe movies tonight. I
guess you'd best not come here for
me. 1 will be waiting at the corner
of Fifty-ninth street and Lexington
avenue as soon after s as 1 can get
my work done up. Wait for me, and

morning, but 1 heard her coming

this letter and Smith had picked it
up. But no-Desiree had seen II fall
from the car. and Smith had handed
it to her. How did he come by it?
