CHICAGO, March 3.—Wheat opened
firm in sympathy with Liverpool and on
continuation of bad crop news, but the
trading was narrow with values close to
yesterday's finish. 5
The undertone in corn was rather
strong. There was some selling by com
mission houses on resting orders.
Oats were firm on the strength in
corn. Armour was the best buyer of
May oats early.
Following the run in of the scattered
shorts in May and July wheat to-day
and the selling pressure that was fe't
afterwards price recessions for the day
amounted to 3 to 7.
Corn closed with losses of 14 to e,
and oats were g to ;¢ lower.
Provisions showed but little change
for the day. i

Teach Boys and Gitls Social
Hygiene
By REV.C.F. AKED, D.D., LL. D.
E are agreed nowadys that
\;‘/ the world is cursed by 18-
norance and darkness.
We are agreed that it may be
blessed by knowledge and light.
Most of us who are of any use
whatever in the world are trying
to reduce the sum total of hu
man ignorance and find the path
way of light.
Notable among the banner
bearers of an all-conquering
knowledge must be reckoned the
little group of men and women
who have named themselves “The
Social Hygiene Society.” They
might have found a better name.
They could hardly be engaged in
a better work.
Tha membership of this society
includes merchants, lawyers,
workingman, physicians, business
men and women, preachers,
teachers. One looks in vain for
fanatics, freaks or faddists, for
cranks and cantankerous per
sons who are anti-everything.
Now, this society has been or
ganized for the purpose of broad
ening the pathway of light, and
for the purpose of inducing youths
and girls to walk in it. In mat
ters the most vital, most vital to
the individual and to the State,
ignorance is most dense.
* * *
Boys and girls ought to know.
No good comes from forbidding
knowledge to them. As a mat
ter of fact, they will know, soon
er or later. The trouble is that
they may know too late. They
will learn the facts of life, Noth
ing but imbecility or death can
prevent them learning. It is a
question solely as to whether
they shall learn in a sweet and
gracious way from good and wise
teachers or in a prurient, disgust
ing way from evil companions,
charlatans and quacks, the ghouls
of our cities, the vilest of the vile.
It is the view of these earnest
men and women that parents
ought to teach their boys and
girls the things they need to
know. They believe that the best
teaching can be done in the home.
They are not anxious that the
schools should be used for this
purpose. They are not asking
that teachers should be compelled
to qualify and that social hygiene
should form part of the curricu
lum of the public schools. Fa
thers and mothers, theyv think,
ought to be anxious, lovingly
anxious, to teach their children
as much of the meaning of life
as is necessary to defend them-
Little Bobbie’s Pa
THINK the love of a dog for a man
[ is beautiful, sed Ma to Pa last
nite. 1 was reeding here about a
poor old dog .that was found starved
to deth beeside his master, a old
miser. 1 suppoas, Ma sed, that the
dog dident know the master had mun
ny to buy all kinds of food with., I
suppoas the dog thought that the
old man was vary poor, so he stayed
till the end.
The dog was moar of a man than
the miser, sed I’a. The dog lived and
died for his master. The miser lived
and died for his miserable gold, Gold,
the biggest tragedy and the bhiggest
joak in the wurld.
We ought to have a dog, sed Ma.
Neerly all the ladies of our set has
nice littel dogs.
We shall nevver have a dog as
long as we live in a flat, sed Pa. - A
person that lives in the city, cooped
up in a flat, ain't got no rite to ask
a dog to leed that kind of a life & 1
want you to keep on beeing a old
fashioned wife & mother, Pa sed. The
love of a dog for a man is butiful,
as you say, but the love of a woman
for a poodle dog is the limit, Pa sed.
Every time | see a big fat blonde
woman git on a street car with a
littel dog under her arm and hear
her saying to the dog Wopsey Kkiss
mama I ask for a transfer & get
out at the first cross town line, sed
Pa. If I dident git out, 1 wud feel
like throwing Wopsey and mama out
on thare ears.
Well, you doant need to git all
worked up, sed Ma. 1 doant meen
that T wud like a poodle dog any
way. 1 guess I wud rather not have
a dog while we stay in the city.
That is a sensible way for my deer
littel wife to talk, sed Pa. | know
How to Shave,
Safety ra2ors liave been but a
mixed blessing; they have made men
forget how to shave, Apart from that,
even a safety razor can only he used
in one way if the best results are to
be obtained,
Which ever kind of razor you use,
you shou!d be careful always to shave
with the run of the beard, Never
shave against the grain; it is bad for
the skin, the beard and the razor,
A safety razor should be pressed
flat against the face, and the action of
a scythe should be imitated. That is
to say, iustead of running the razar
selves against evil persons and
against themselves.
If parents are to do this, they
themselves must learn. And,
learning, they must learn to
teach. Not every father knows
exactly how to begin talking to
his boy, nor every mother how to
talk to her daughter, in such a
way as to safeguard every deli
cate feeling and avoid starting
the mind along tracks which it is
not yet capable of following with
intellectual and spiritual profit
This society will help parents to
help their children.
* * -
The tiny booklets published by
the society are of priceless value.
It may be said witah unfaltering
conviction that no good father or
loving mother, however well in
formed, could give an hour to the
reading of these “tracte for the
times” without learning some
thing. And no human being ex
cept the depraved could read
them without entertaining feel
ings of the warmest admiration
for the tact, discretion, judgment
displayed. Could anything be bet
ter to put into the hands of a boy
than “The Four Sex Lles?”” Or
anything more jpractical for par
ents than “When and How to Tell
Children?” lls it possible to im
agine anything sweeter and saner
than “How one mother told her
child the secret of life?”
Read these little booklets! The
address of the society is Phelan
Building, San Francisco. A pack
age of literature will be sent free
on application,
L . .
Social hygiene will have to be
taught in the schools. It may be
admitted that the teachers of the
present day are not competent to
teach. They have not been train
ed for it. Another course is open.
Medical men and women shonld
be appointed to deliver addresses
in the schools, medical men
speaking to the boys, medical
women to the girls. And these spe
cial instructors should be chosen
with a view to their fitness for
the task. They should be ap
pointed and controlled by the
Board of Education. Their work
should be properly paid for. Not
very much will be accomplished
until something of this kind is
done.
Before it can be done a body of
opinion favoring it will have to
be created. Men and women who
are properly instructed will one
day demand that city and State
broaden the pathway of light.
By WILLIAM F. KIRK.
‘you wud nevver be so silly as to
make a speshul pet of a littel pup
and neglect our littel Bobbie. [ rote
a poem the other day, sed Pa, when
1 was setting in my office & doing
nothing else. It was about this saim
foolish love of a woman for a littel
pet dog, & this is how it goes:
When littel Johnnie was all washed
up
He washed his face in a china cup;
The bathroom was locked and barred
his path
For littel Fido was taking a bath,
When littel Fido was all washed up
And asked for his morning bite and
sup,
He was given some dry old Johnny
cake
For littel Fido had speared the steak
That nite, wen he wanted to go to
bed
“You must sleep on that rug!’ his
mother said.
“And don’'t wake Fido,” the boy was
told,
“Fido's in your bhed with an awful
cold.”
And littel Johnnie salid with a =igh
“l wish I could catch a cold—and die.”
Why, husband, sed Ma, I dident
know you cud rite so well,
