ADVICE TO THE
 LOVELORN
Ever citizen should be inspired with love of personal and public hygiene as were the Greeks.
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

Ever citizen should be inspired with
 love of personal and public hygiene
 as were the Greeks.
 A WISE DOCTOR.
 The writer of this enquiry Is the daddy of three boys who are ap- preaching adolescence, and having their welfare always in mind requested his family doctor to discuss with him the advisabiHty of having a talk with the lads about sexual matters. The answer of the doctor was somewhat as follows: ''Why man, you must be crazy to think of such. a thing, don't you know that the so2called evils of which you speak exist only in the minds of ignorant people? You seem to have been influenced by reading some advertisements of the accursed quacks who offer for a consideration to restore Lost manhood and all oth- CT imaginary evils of like nature. If you start talking that twaddle to your boys you will only put a lot of nonsense into their young minds that should never be even thought of much less discussed. Do not dream of opening up such 8 foolish subject with your fine lads.''
 I most respectfully request a per sonal reply, and if you see fit in your wisdom to mention this subject in this paper it is my desire that my name | be not mentioned.
 Answer-Your doctor is right with regard to the subject that can be read between the lines but which I Shl1lioI t4oSUSS III lASSe CoiuHlns. but boys who show a tendency to get 1 themselves into trouble should be | made aware of the dangers ahead of 1 them. l have an article on the sdan- gers youth may incur-one of some l 70 articles on as many subjects in | medicine, legitimate to discuss, and these are not printed but are mailed ! to any inquirer at the cost of a stamped and s~'t-addressed envelope. | There is altogether too much discus sion of a perfectly natural function
 not only by ignorant people, Gas your good doctor says) but also by prurfent and evil-minded people. ( JESTION AND ANSWERS. Stiff Joints.
