PHILOSOPHY OF SEX

(By simon Louis Katzoff, \. M. M. D., Author of Timely Talks on Hu man Health.)
 Prudery may be classed among the worlds great degenerating forces. Most children, are permitted to grow into manhood and woman hood without a genuine Knowledge of sex. They grow up in ignorance of the laws of life, finally their con ception of sex knowledge becomes tainted with VuIgarity.
 Seeds planted by vulgar minds are sometimes hard to eradicate Parents should first know the subject of sex themselves; then answer children's questions relating to sex truthfully.
 There is no harm in keeping child ren innocent and free from sex cur iosity as long as possible; but, the parent should be the first to inform the child on the vital subject. Sex ology ought to be taught in the seventh and eighth grades of the primary Schools, as well as in high school Of course, there should be different courses for different child ren, according to the environment, health and age Special literature on the subject should be sent by the proper city or state authorities to all parents who have children, with an aim in view of first educating the parents, and second to secure their cooperation in this fight for a clean CT, stronger and healthier manhood and womanhood.
 The last few years have seen pru- dery discredited, and the public, with out wincing, has faced the truth Pub lie sentiment has been jolted into ac- ton by learning the startling facts formerly so carefully concealed. Pub licity must continue and with it an earnest effort to redeem the subject of sex from unclean associations and raise to it's proper high places.
 Education, of course, includes moral training and the establishment of proper social relations. When respect able women cease to condone the in discretions of youth, so called, and shall demand the same high standards from men, a S those which they them selves observe, fewer wild oats'' will be sown and a cleaner manhood moral and physical, will be the result, for it is unqestionab1y true that young ambitious men live up (to certain degree at least to the stand

ards set for them by society. From the Vale Record we quote:
 MODESTY. When every pool in Eden was a mir
 TOT
 That unto Eve her dainty charms
 proclaimed, She went undraped with a single
 bear or
 Thought that she had need to be
 ashamed. Twas only when she'd eaten of the
 apple
 That she became inclined to be a
 prude And found that evermore she's had to srapple
 With much debated problems of
 the nude. Thereafter she devoted her atten-
 tiOn
 Her time and all her money to her And that was the beginning of con-
 vention,
 And modesty, at least, so I sup Reactions came about in fashions re-
 cent;
 Now girls conceal so little from
 the men That it would seem, to get back to
 the decent,
 Some serpent ought to pass the fruit
 again.
 Cor more details on the social, medical psychics, economic and other aspects of the subject of sex, the studious reader may be referred to the writer's book-''Timely Truths On Human Health". Your name and address and postage stamp will bring to you more information regarding this truth telling voIume)

Yes, it is most certainly a mini mum, but it's chic every inch of the way. And how could that be other wise with such stuffs as cloth of gold topped with henna-colored georgette and that striped with gorgeously pretty bronze seQuins? Then, after all that comes uncut fringe upon sleevelets and hem; fringe that's made of deep bronze beads.
 But very important are the lines Of this frock- In truth 1t has very little lines to speak of. but therein, mind you, lies the subtle artistry of it Were it fashioned of less coIorfu1 or less rich materials it might go un- noticed in the throng, but this sim plicity only makes the stuff that it's built of doubly attractive.
