The e is a school that runs without

until tle end of life comes, in away.
it is n haphazard method of learning;
mai. ■ of us do not learn its lessons
as v . should; we misinterpret what
we ret, what we see, what
we feel. Old Mother Na
ture i cvertheless has her school con
tinual y in session it is "books" all
the time in her school. Like other
schools, we have good, bad and .n
--differ nt teachers. The great need is
the proper teacher, who understands
and c: n teach. Esp. cialiy is this true
in sex matters.
Children begin early to receive from
nature's school the knowledge of sex-
Wee >ts learn that boys are boys and
girls .re girls. They i arn that in the
anima kingdom th- : is male and fe
male. Sex roUtim hip is acquired

ask questions: ’h” majority of them
need r'w proper teacher. oh. so badly.
Too many parents lie to their chil
dren when so simple a o’. stion is
asked as where th? baby comes from;
where do the kittens come from ?
Whenever a child finds out that it
has been deceived by the one who.
above all mhers. sb mid tell it the
truth it dose not return for further
infornution, but goes to a teacher
who i more than likely bad —indeed,
vulgar Every parent owes it to his
or het child to toll it the truth, to
honest’”, rightly, correctly inform it
about he things Mother Nature is try
ing to .teach it.
Ren mber, the child is going to
learn; remember that it is seeking to
satisfy its curiosity and will do so.
The o ily question is whether the
tcacht will be the right one or one
that i undesirable.
The State Board of Heal h will be
glad to be of assistance to the citi
zen who wishes to become a teacher of
truth o his or her children in sex
matterm There is a little book, "Sex
Education in the Home,” that is free
forth asking If you are interested
in the matter, write for it.

Th, re is no more dramatic happen- j

no more sad tragedy than a death i;

COD LIVER OIL A
PANACEA?
—
Many are advocating the routine
treatment of all babies with cod liver
oil —pure fresh oil. Do not mistake I
this for adulterated cod liver extracts. ;
because we are talking about the pure |
oil. It Is urn im \s spoken of as "bot- I
tied sunshine." Our State Board of
Heal h does not go as far as some of i
the health am’”v i’i p ”’d say that all
babies should b this remedy, but
they do know that many babies have j
1 soft and miss 1 ’:-’-?'! b res due to rick- I
st. they do know that cod liver oil. ;
pure and fresh, g'ven to such babies
is pei haps the best remedy. It should
■ - be given early and by the advice of
- the family fhysician.
The State Board of Health wishes
. to ca’l attention to the fact that the
, disease known as rickets is much more i
common and more frequent than is i
. uspected. and that parents do not i
I hav their apparently well babies and .
,1 older children examined by th c ir phy- ।
, sician as often as they should Why ;
wait for bow legs, enlarged joints and
beady growth on the ribs? Keep up '
. with the baby as it grows: prevent j
severe illness before it develops. A
, ’ competent physician can do much to
prevent your child from being ill.
Cod liver oil. pure and fresh, is a j
great remedy for babies; it makes
: them grow and develop It contains
, necessary vitamines and is a most
I worthy remedy, yet sunshine and fresh
air are of the uttermost importance
but when these cannot be obtained
the "shut in" baby should have cod
• live; oil.
