Text: Learn first to, show piety
at home."-I Tim. 5:4.

- WHOLESOME atmosphere
Al in the home is required for
the development Of good
character. Look into your own
home. What kind of atmosphere
prevails there? What kind Of
chance have your children growing
up in such atmosphere? In your
home life are you giving your chill
dren a fair chance to develop as
they ought to develop?
The greatest peril to the child
hood of today is the lack of piety
in the modern home. Evidence OF
this lack is seen among all classes,
high and low. The elements OF
the true home are lacking, not only
in the tenement house, but in the
so-called home on the fashionable
street. The truest home may exist
in the most commonplace and UNI
pretentious hut, while in the palatial
mansion there may be the poorest
sort of home. In many households
the father is worldly, the mother is
society butterfly, and the little
ones are left to the care of some

ITALY STRESSES
NEED FOR WHEAT
New Tax Measure Designed
to Stimulate Production
of Cereals.
BY the Associated Press.

by tne ASSOcldteu fress.
ROME, July 25.-Minister of In
terror Federzoni has addressed a cir
cular to all of the chambers of com
merce in Italy emphasizing the i'm
portance OF tax measures announced
yesterday for the purpose of increas-
ing the production of cereals, espe-
cially wheat.
The council of ministers decided
yesterday to re-establish Immediately
a duty of $50 gold lire per quintal on
wheat, a metric quintal being 220.4
pounds. The duty on gasoline is to
be reduced by half and taxes on
state consols are to be done away
with altogether.
Finance Minister Volpi, the circular
explained, proposes to create new
centers, to induce large classes of
small capitalists to invest their saw
ings in the state securities and also
to assist the automobile industry by
decreasing the price of gasoline.
The loss in taxes is expected TO be
made up by the duty on wheat and
by the revenue from the increased
number of automobiles that will be
put into service with reduced oper-
ating expenses.
Federzoni urged the chambers OF
commerce to prevent speculation by
those holding large stores of wheat
who may pretend they have had to
paw the import tax. Severe penalties
are threatened for this offense.
