Wilson Policy Of

Frelinghllysen Also Flays
Presidents War Attitude:
Expresses skepticism of
League of Nations Plan

TRENTON, Jan. 15.-Frank criticism
OF the Governments control of the
railroads; the plainest kind of speak
ing so far as the failure of the nation
to prepare itself for war until two
years had been wasted. and open skep-
ticlsm of the Pres dents plan for a
League of Nations, were the outstand-
ing features of an address delivered
mere to-day before the state agricul
uural convention by United States SEN
ator Joseph S: Frelinghuysen. The
speaker made little effort to veil his
diss 'tisfaction at the course pursued
by President Wilson in failing to take
the nation into his confidence before
going to Europe

Senator Freinghuysen declared that
had the advice OF Theodore Roosevelt
and other far-sighted patriots been
followed the war would have ended a

Glass of Hot Water
Before Breakfast
a Splendid Habit
Open sIuiees Of the system each
morning and wash away the
poisonous, stagnant matter

Those Of us who are accustomed
to feel dull and heavy when we
arise; splitting headache, stuffy
from a cold, foul tongue, nasty
breath, acid stomach. lame back,
can, instead, both look and feel as
fresh as a daisy always by washing
the poisons and toxins from the
body with phosphated hot water
each morning.
We should drink, before break
fast, a glass Of real hot water with
a teaspoonful of limestone pbos-
plate in it to flush from the stom-
ach, liver, kidneys and ten yards of
bowels the previous days indigest-
IDLE waste, sour bile and poisonous
toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening
and purifying the entire alimentary
tract before putting more food into
the stomach.
The action Of limestone phosphate
and hot water on an empty stomach
is wonderfully invigorating. It
cleans out all the sour fermenta-
tons gases, waste and acidity and
gives one a splendid appetite for
breakfast. A quarter pound of lime
stone phosphate will cost very little
at the drug store, but is sufficient
to make anyone who is bothered
with biliousness, constipation, stom-
ach trouble or rheumatism a real
enthusiast on the subject Of inter-
nal sanitation.-Adv.

is taught at every step TO conceive
Of her privileged existence as the
pursuit Of pleasure.
In this parvenu society (Which
finds its reflection in certain social
sets throughout the country,) the
women have created a society OF
sensations never deep or lasting
sensations which must rapidly sue
coed one another and be constantly
intensified. Man to them is mulA
tiple animal; the hattery of the
crowd replaces the alteration of the
individual. They are capable neither
of great passions nor great wicked
ness, and therefore easily convince
themselves that, despite luxury and
pleasure, they are fhe most virtuous
Of wives. 1t is a transitory society,
for it is a society profoundly dis
contended and tragically incense
auential, which will disappear as
humanity continues to move rest
lessly onward, re-establishing its dis
cipline and barking back to old
landmarks in its eternal pursuit OF
happiness.

SEX MATTERSTO
Be KEPT FROM
THE CHILDREN
Senator Sears of Omaha Intro
duCeS Bill to That Effect in
the Nebraska State
Legislature.

4 am against any campaign Of
education or any public propaganda
which will permit the indiscriminate
imparting of sexual knowledge or
discussion of social diseases 10 chill
dren Of the dangerous age,' said
Senator c. w. Sears, Omaha, author
Of bill prohibiting this practice.
The bill was introduced in the
Nebraska senate on the closing day
Of the week and Imposes drastic
penalties upon any one, other than
a parent, a guardian or person espe-
eially employed for that purpose,
who imparts information OF sexual
nature to children under 10.
The Dangerous Age"
Most Of the children who enter
high school are IS years of age.
They have not yet developed men
tally or physically and it is the phys
ical and psychological period which
is characterized as the dangerous
age.
AT present there is a movement
in the country, while it may not be
designed for that purpose, yet IN
practice, permits the public and open
discussion of sex matters and social
diseases under conditions highly per-
nicious to the young.
sex matters taught in mixed
classes in the public schools and
other institutions have a tendency
to break down the natural barriers
Of convention and modesty which
ordinarily are a protection to rela-
tions of the sexes in their younger
and more tender years. IL opens up
a new field and because of the IL
eense it gives to the discussion OF
matters which have heretofore been
taboo, would bring about freedom
from convention in these matters,
and make il easy for the vicious and
perverted minds of Older. persons to
corrupt the minds of the young and
awaken desire in those who are yet
too immature to be responsible.
Dangerous to Morals.
"Propinquity between young per
sons of opposite sexes with vehicle
OF this kind and all its prurient sug-
gestion would make our public
schools dangerous to morals.
"A condition of this kind would
help panderers to SOW seeds which
would result in a harvest of vice
and help the very evil the over-en-
thusiastic social reformers seek to
end.
Teach These Matters at Home.
II believe the home is the place
for the teaching Of such matters.
The home is a sanctuary and the
parent, or guardian, could impart
this knowledge to boys and girls OF
10 or over, in a manner that would
not violate conventions of sacred
ness or modesty, nor awaken dan
gerous and prurient sex curiosity. |
cannot believe that this can be sue
eessfulIy done. without. dangerous
consequences TO Society where It Is
taught to boys and girls together,
in classes where the sexes are sep
arated or even where they are CLASH
fed in mature ages. 1t becomes q
matter Of public conversation, can
bet corrupted into lasciviousnessi
and opens q perilous gate TO evil.
Experience has taught that there
are always older persons who de-
light in imparting knowledge the
Young should not know in a manner
which has caused this to be foun-
tain head OF vice" 4

PROPER CARE OF THE SICK
Nurses Duties Are onerous, but They
Must Be Recognized a. Highly
Necessary,

1t Is important that the mother or
nurse attending child witt a con-
tagious disease should take long
walk in the fresh air every day. The
best way for her to arrange this II
to keep a change Of clothing In the
room next to the sick room. She
should also bathe before leaving the
house or in fact before she comes in
contact with anyone. If bathroom
has been set aside for quarantine. she
should use this; If not, screen and
basin must answer. She can then slip
into the next room and Chef ge her
clothing.
She should leave the house by the
back way, or, at any rate, avoid COM
ing in contact with any Of the occu-
pants of the house. Once on the
street she should not use the street
cars nor enter another house and, II
possible, should avoid touching any
one.
The fumigation Of sick room
after contagious illness is done BY
the board of health upon request Of
the family physician.-Exchange.

California Halts Ratification.

San Francisco.-Almost in the hour
that the lower house of the California
Legislature, in session at Sacramento,
was taking final action toward rati-
flying the federal constitutional pro-
hibition amendment, Judge James
Trout, in Superior Court here, issued
an order temporarily restraining Gov
ernor William s. Stephens from GER
tifying to the secretary of state Cali
fornia's ratification of. the federal
amendment. Judge Trout also issued
an alternative writ requiring the gov,
ernor to appear in court and show
cause why the order should not be
made permanent The arguments
upon which the writ was obtained
were two: First, that constitutional
referendum is applicable to every ac-
tion of the California Legislature, and
second, that the federal constitutional
amendment was not proposed origi-
nally by two-thirds of each house Of
Congress.
