MARRIAGE AND RACE SUICIDE.

Sex matters are taboo with some
people; the kind who refer to legs as
limbs" but secretly gloat over a
choice bit of scandal, When Sex dis
cussioD arises they generally hide
their faces but they always look
through their fingers and their ears
are wide open.
Sex is an important matter IN this
world. 1t is problem that every llV-
fng person has an interest IN. That
sex should be considered sanely and
purely is worthy goal but an almost
hopeless one. Perhaps some day it
will come.
Natures rules that new families are
created just as old families die off. 1t
is with the new that all instruction,
all counsel, all advice, all warning is
said or written The old has it's story
told and it's tragedies and victories
are said and done.
1t is fundamental that the happiness
and welfare of the home are builded
upon little children. Without them the
home could not endure The trials
and problems of the fathers and moth
ers are blessing in disguise. In after
years they reflect how truly happy
they were when the children were
little.
Nature cannot be cheated The
cheaters can cheat themselves, their
friends, the world, but they cannot
cheat nature who inevitably demands
her reckoning. A sad one it is too.
Broken health, ruined nerves and a
sour disposition.
Then the other side also-the time
when pleasure is no longer pleasure
but bitter fruit. When the hand is
palsied, the step feeble and eye dim.
How bitterly that household desires
a strong hand, firm step and bright
eye to share the burdens. 1t is-too
late.
1t is written that "An Honest Man
is the Noblest Work of Cod" 1t might
be written that a beautiful. innocent
child is humanity at its best.
A household filled with the prattle
of childhood is better than houseful
of dancers and card players or a
cellar full of booze.
Young folks
Don't let them fool you.

THRIFT AS A HABIT.

SO much has been said about the
American national sin OF extraya-
gance and more seems mere ALTER
alton. However a new year is ap-
preaching and now is as good time
as any to begin practicing thrift. Es-
pecially is this so when the tremend-
Gus imitation and money spending Of
he past two years seems to be at an
end and an era of hard times, low
prices and pinching before us.
Riches are acquired in several ways.
The first and easiest is to inherit
them. Another is by being crooked.
Still third is by speculation which
smacks just little OF the last and
requires more brains than most of us
have. The last and best is by care
FIJI saving.
All fortunes had small beginnings.
Some one, away back perhaps, had to
tuck away the first dime and had to
squeeze for the first dollar. Then
by slow degrees came a hundred, then
a thousand and finally enough to get
start We know several men who
saved for years to get their first thous-
and or two Then they invested care
fully, took care of their business, fin
ally paid on their debts and in the end
stood independent Few of us can in
herit wealth and good thing it is
too. Few of us care to be crooked the
game being dangerous and destruct-
i've of our ideas of liberty. Few have
the ability to speculate and make
money; sharp as we may be others are
sharper. But anyone can save il they
want to hard enough. The young
workingman can't have everything
that goes and save. He must econo-
mize on dress, be careful with his liv-
ing and make his simple pleasures do
him. After a while the saving habit
takes hold.
All this without being penurious or
stingy. II the young man, and espec-
tally the young married man. wants
to have something some day he must
begin now while his working days are
ahead OF him. The years from 20 to
IS are the best Then or even later
the opportunity for investment will
come. The years bring business judg-
ment and the young man is almost
certain to succeed. Practice thrift.

BABY

(By George MacDonald.)
Where did you come from, baby dear?
Out of the everywhere into here.
Where did you get those eyes so blue?
Out of the sky as | came through
What makes the light in them sparkle
and spin?
Some of the starry spikes left in.
Where did you get that little tear?
| found it waiting when / got here.
What makes your forehead so smooth
and high?
A soft hand stroked it as went by.
What makes your cheek like warm
white rose?
I saw something better than anyone
knows
Whence that three-cornered smile OF
bliss?
Tire angels gave me at once kiss.
Where did you get that pearly ear?
God spoke, and it came out to hear.
Where did you get those arms and
hands?'
Love made itself into bonds and bands.
Feet. whence did you come from, you
darling things?
From the same box as the cherub
wings.
How did they all just come to be you?
God thought about me, and SO grew
Hut how did you come to us, you dear?
God thought about you, and so l am

these theories have been put into prac-

magic effect. The membrane will curl

it is necessary that a doctor be called

The chief dangers of diphtheria

There are many cases where the
germ remains in the throat for some
time after the patient is well. and
these are dangerous to other people
