Tell Your Children the Truth of Life
By KliliA WHKKLER WIIA'OX
■ Again let it be
urged that parents
talk with their small
children on the sub
jects which lead to,
or away from, mor
ality and physical
health. It is rank
folly to declare your
child so angelic and
Innocent that it Is
immune from dan
ger.
Human nature is
its own menace,
when not guided by
wise affection over
the perilous paths of
youth!
Take your little son. sir and madam,
when he is able to understand simple |
language, and tell him about the flow- j
ers; how they grow, bud, blossom and
bear fruit. Take your little girl of the i
same age, and let her listen to what |
you have to say on this topic; but
talk to them separately. In order that j
they may feel how sacred the subject
Is, and that you are the only confi
dantes they are to have in this mat
ter.
Impress upon them the idea that
the plant needs to be carefully tended,
and gently used, or it will never carry
out its mission; that the bud and
blossom will be blighted by careless
handling, and the fruit spoiled. Then
make them understand that their bod
ies are plants, which the great Crea
tor Intends for the same process.
Say to them, "All this knowledge
about the flowers you will study and
obtain gradually as you grow older
and your mind develops; and In the
same way you will learn the wonder
ful, majesUc truths of the human
family.
"All that you can know now is the
sacredness of your body and the need
to keep it clean, in good health, and
pure.
"If anyone ever approaches you to
talk on this subject in any rough man
ner, or to suggest your listening to
any information which your parents
might not hear, or if anyone attempts i
any familiarity toward you which you I

do not understand, run away from
such a person as you would from a
dangerous animal. m
"Never say or do or listen to any
thing you could not have all the world
hear. Never take gifts, or bonbons,
or flowers, or toys from anyone you do
not know; never walk into secluded
places or vacant houses with anyone
save your parents or other relatives.
It is an evidence of a lack of proper
bringing up to do such things; ana
never permit anyone to talk to you on
these subjects save your parents. As
your mind unfolds we will explain all
life's mysteries to you."
Children who have been reared in
this wise and judicious manner will
not be victims to the monsters In hu
man form who so frequently pursue
the innocent and Immature; and young
boys who are so tenderly Instructed by
considerate and sensible parents will
not develop abnormal tendencies or
become a menace tp society.
Almost any child is in danger of be
ing harmed mentally or physically
through ignorance, which is
for Innocence by most parents. It is
appalling to know of the number of
cases where young, unformed minds
have been smirched by evil communi
cations, and where even serious physi
cal disasters have befallen children
through the lack of parental fore
thought and prevention.
It is appalling to know how many
young boys have distorted minds
through the same cause; lack of par
ental Instruction; and the last people
to know of the wrong thoughts and
actions of these boys are the parents
themselves. And even with the strong
est proof the parents often refuse to
believe the unpleasant facts when they
are confronted with them.
One schoolmaster in New Jersey
was almost driven from the commun
ity recently because he went in a
kindly spirit to talk confidentially w-lth
parents regarding the behavior of
their boys.
Do not add yourself, my dear sir
or madam, to the long list of such
parents. Become the friend and con
fidant and instructor of your little
human plants, and prepare the fallow
ground for their growing and rich
I maturity.

'ln the L. igratulatlona
after the position was taken last
night," he declared, "I confess that I
was thinking lees of success than of
Ita source." He bent W her a look
that was warm with gratitude.
She lowered her lashes before It;
before gratitude that made her part
appear in a fresh angle of misery.
"There seems to be a kind of fa
tality about our relations," he went on.
"I lay awake pondering it last night"
His tone held more than gratitude. It
had the elation of discovery.
"He Is going to make it harder than
I ever guessed!" echoed her own
thought, in a flutter of confusion.
"Yes, It was strange our meeting on
the frontier In peace and then In war!"
she exclaimed at random. The sound
of the remark struck her as too sub
dued; as expectant, when her purpose
■was one of careless deprecation.
"I have met a great many women,
as you may have imagined," he pro
ceeded. "They have passed in review.
They were simply women, witty and
frail or dull and beautiful, and one
meant no more to me than another.
Nothing meant anything to me except
my profession. But I never forgot you.
You planted something In mind: a
memory of real companionship."
"Yes, I made the prophecy that
eame true!" she put in. This ought
to bring him back to himself and his
ambitions, she thought.
"Yes!" he exclaimed, his body stif
fening free of the bßck of the seat.
"You realized what was in me. You
foresaw the power which was to be
mine. The fate that first brought us
together made me look you up In the
capital. Now It brings us together
here on this bench after all that has
passed In the last twenty-four hours."
She realized that he had drawn per
ceptibly nearer. She wanted to rise
and cry out: "Don't do this! Be the
chief of staff, the conqueror, crushing
the earth with the tread of five against
three I" It was the conqueror whom
she wanted to trick, not ajnan whose
earnestness was painting her deceit
blacker. Far from rising, she made no
movement at all; only looked at her
hands and allowed him to go on, con
scious of the force of a personality
that mastered men and armies now
-warm and appealing in th« full tide of
another purpose.
"The victory that I was thinking of
last night was not the taking of Bot«»
dir. It was finer than any victory la
war. It was selfish—not for army
and country, but born of a human
'weakness triumphant; a human weak
ness of which my career had robbed
me," he continued. "It gave me a
Joy that even the occupation of the
Browns' capital could not give. I had
come as an Invader and I had won
your confidence."
"In a causel" she Interrupted hur
riedly, wildly, to etop him from going
further, only to find that her Intona
tion was euch that it was drawing him
on.
"That fatality seamed to he working

that there was more than the cause
that led you to trust me. I hoped— *
Was he testing her? Was he play
ing a part of his own to make certain
that she was not playing one? She
looked up swiftly for answer. There
no gainsaying what she saw in
his eyes. It was beating into hers
■with the power of an overwhelming
masculine passion and a maturity of
intellect as his egoism admitted a com
rade to its throne. Such Is ever the
way of a man in the forties when the
clock strikes for him. But who could
know better the craft of courtship
than one of Westerllng's experiencei
He was fighting for victory; to gratify
a desire.
'1 did not expect this—l—" the
words escaped tumultuously and chok
ingly.
He was bending so close to her that
■he felt his breath on her cheek burn
ing hot, and she was slckenlngly con
scious that he was looking her over
In that point-by-point manner which
she had felt across the tea-table at
the hotel. This horrible thing in his
glance she had sometimes seen in
strangers on her travels, and it had
made her think that she was wise to
carry a little revolver. Bhe wanted
to strike him.
"Confess! Confess!" called all her
own self-respect "Make an end to
your abasement!"
"Confession, after the Browns have
given up Bordir! Confession that
makes Lanny, not Westerling, your
dupe!" came the reply, which might
have been telegraphed into her mind
from the high, white forehead of Par
tow bending over his maps. "Confes
sion, betraying the cause of the right
against the wrong; the three to the
conquering five! No! You are in
the thing. You may not retreat now."
For a few seconds only the duel
of argument thundered in her temples
—seconds In which her lips were part
ed and quivering and her eyes dilated
with an agitation which the man at
her side could Interpret as he pleased.
A prompting devil—a devil roused by
that thing in hi? ey6B—urging a
finesse in double-dealing which only
devils understand, made her lips hyp
notically turn in a smile, her eyes
soften, and sent her hand out to Wes
terling in a trancelike gesture. For an
Instant it rested on bi& arm with tell
ing pressure, though she felt It burn
shame at the point of contact.
"We must not think of that now,"
she said. "We muet think of nothing
personal; of nothing but your work
until your work is done!"
The prompting devil had not permit
ted a false note in h-r voice. Her
very pallor, in fixity of idea, served
her purpose Westerling dr«w a Ueep
breath that seemed to expand his
whole being with greater appreciation
of her. Yet that harried hunger, the
hunger of a beast was still in his
glance.
"This Is like you—like what I want
you to be!" he said. "You are right."
He caught her hand, inclosing It en
tirely in his grip, and she was sen
sible, In a kind of dazed horror, of the
thrill of his strength. "Nothing can
stop us! Numbers will win! Hard
fighting in the mercy of a quick end!"
he declared with his old rigidity of
five against three which was welcome
to her. "Then," he added "and
then—"
I "Then!" she repeated, averting her
glance. "Then—" There the devil
ended the sentence and she withdrew
her hand and felt the relief of one es
caping suffocation, to find that he had
realized that anything further during
that Interview would be banality and
was rising to go.
i "I don't feel decent!" she thought.
"Society turned on Minna for a hu
j man weakness, hut I —l'm not a human
; being! lam one of the pawns of the
machine of war!"
Walking slowly with lowered head

into Bouchard, who apologized with
the single word "Pardon!" as he lifted

hia cap In overdone courtesy, which
his stolid brevity made the more con
spicuous.
"Miss Galland, you seem lost In ab
straction," he said in sudden loquac
ity. "I am almost on the point of
accuelng you of being a poet."
"Accusing!" she replied. "Then you
must think that I would write bad
poetry."
"On the contrary, I should say ex
cellent—using the sonnet form," he re
turned.
"I might make a counter accusa
tion, only that yours would be the
epic form," answered Marta. Tor you,
too, seem fond of rambling."
There was a veiled challenge In the

monplace politeness in hers, before

on hie way.
• ••••• •
For the next two weeks Marta's role
resolved itself into a kind of routine.
Their cramped quarters became a
refuge to Marta in the trial of her
secret work under the very nose of
the staff. With little Clarissa Eileen,
they formed the only feminine society
in the neighborhood. On sunshiny
days Mrs. Galland was usually to be
found in her favorite chair outside
the tower door; and hero Minna set
the urn on a table at four-thirty as in
the old days.
No member of the staff was more
frequently present at Marta's teas
than Bouchard, who was developing
his social Instinct late in life by sit
ting in the background and allowing
others to do the talking while he
Watched and listened. In his hearing.
Marta's attitude toward the progress
of the war was sympathetic but never
Interrogatory, while she shared atten
tion with Clarissa Eileen, who was iu
danger of becoming spoiled by officers
who had children of their own at home.
After the reports of killed and wound
ed, which came with such appalling
regularity, it was a relief to hear of
the day's casualties among Clarissa's
dolls. The chief of transportation
and supply rode her on his shoulder;
the chief of tactics played hide-and
seek with her; tlie chief engineer
built her a doll house of stones with
his own hands; and the chief medical
officer was as concerned when she
caught cold as if the health of the
army were at stake.
"We mustn't get too set up over all
this attention, Clarissa Eileen, my ri
val," said Marta to the child. "You
are the only little girl and I* am the
only big girl within reach. If there
were lota of others it would be dif
ferent"

HIGHPRICEOF FEED i
WORRIES POULTRYMEN
Never Before Was It So Impor
tant to Keep Books on
Each Layer
The high price of all kinds of feed
stuff used in feeding chickens and
other fowls is giving the poultry
keeper something to think about just
at present. Many poultrymen are
showing an inclination to sell off their
flocks, believing that the high price
of feed warrants such a course.
The conditions which poultry keep
ers now face do call for careful cal
culations, and never before was it so
important that in the bookkeeping
there should be an account for each
individual layer instead of a single
account for the entire flock. In other
words, feed is very high in price, and
it behooves the poultry keeper to
know without a doubt which of his
hens are paying a profit and which
are not.
There are hens in every flock that
are poor layers. There arc some that
will lay no eggs at all and others that
will lay indifferently. The trap nest
is the only dependable means by
which any poultry keeper can spot
the loafer, but the trap nest is not
practical in a great majority of cases.
One who makes a study of his hens
can in a short time pretty nearly tell
whto Is who in his flock. The active
fowl is pretty sure to be a good busi
ness hen. The big eater, as a rule, is
a good layer; a bird that consumes
but little food cannot possibly be a
heavy layer. In the evening go over
the flock and feel the crop of each
bird. Regard with suspicion the bird
the crop of which is not well packed,
if there has been ample opportunity
for it to be otherwise.
Layers with pelvic bones set wide
apart are apt to be prolific. An ex
treme distance between these bones
is tho width of three Angers; when
the distance is less than the width of
two fingers, the bird should be classed
with the suspects.
By making the most of one's flock
poultry keeping is apt to be more
profitable this winter than ever be
fore, notwithstanding the high price
of feed. The price of eggs will un
doubtedly bear a close relation to the
price of feed. Even the fancier need
not fear that his business of produc
ing exhibition stock will be less profit
able than formerly. * The supply of
breeding stock and eggs for hatching
will be short next season and his cus
tomers will have to help take care of
the increase in the cost of feed.
Supply Markets With
Only Good-sized Eggs
Respecting the size of eggs, it should
be the aim of the poultry farmer to
supply the markets with only those
of good size. A little more attention
might he given to the selection of
breeding stock with a view to per
petuating the good-sized egg trait in
the future generations. With the use
of the trap nest the task oi produc
ing a flock capable of laying eggs
weighing two ounces and over could
easily be accomplished. Eggs of good
size and uniformity will alone com
mand a price calculated to make com
mercial egg production highly -profit
able. By the aid of the trap nest and
a pair of scales it won't take the
poultryman long to spot the hens that
produce the good-sized eggs, and to
cull out from the flock those birds
laying eggs below the size stanadrd
sought. If the birds that produce the
choicest eggs are mated to males bred
from layers of good-sized eees, the
progeny, if well reared and rightly fed,
will in turn produce good-sized eggs.
"Penroseism" Term of
Which to Be Proud,
Manufacturer Asserts
Greensburg, Pa., Oct. 10.—Promi
nent manufacturers in Westmoreland
county held a meeting this afternoon
in the armory and formed a West
moreland county branch of the Penn
j svlvania Protective Union by the elec
-1 lion of J. J. Smith, president, McKee
' Glass Company, of Jeannette, as chair
j man.
i A statement signed by eighty-seven
| manufacturers was read and formally
| approved by the meeting. Chairman
| Smith read a speech of acceptance, in
I which he suid that the object of the
organization was to work for the
restoration of protective tariff policies
and the election of protectionist can
didates to both branches of Congress.
!He warmly endorsed the record of
United States Senator Penrose and
declared that it was of the utmost
importance to businessmen all over
the country that Mr. Penrose should
be returned to Washington and that
congressional candidates pledged to
his protective tariff views should be
sent to the national House of Repre
! sentatives.
"The word 'Penroseism'." said Mr.
, Smith, "seems to me to he a very
subtle compliment to our senior sen
. ator. It was not intended to be so, of
, course, hut when you stop to think
i that 'Penroseism' means the things
that Senator Penrose stands for and
• has stood for in the past, and when
, you remember that these are the
: things which have made Pennsylvania
Rrent, there is certainly nc reason to
, blush for the fact that we are now
banding ourf.elves together to demand
continuance of 'Penroseism'."
FRITCHEY PEN WELL
UP 111 EGG CONTEST
Strong Finish and No Deaths Speak l
Well For Sturdiness of
His Stock
The third international egg-layingj
contest at Storrs, Connecticut, will 1
come to a close on the last day of this 1
month and it now looks as if the finish j
will be exciting. At the close of the |
forty-eighth week three pens of ten j
hens each had made records as fol- I
lows: White Leghorns, owned by j
Francis F. Lincoln, Mt. Carmel, Mt. i
Carmel, Conn., 2.008 eggs; White:
Leghorns, owned by Storrs Agricul- j
tural College, 1,986 eggs; White!
Wyandottes, owned by Tom Barron, '
England, 1,970 eggs. Within the |
forty-eighth week these pens pro- I
duced, respectively, 31 eggs, 25 eggs j
and 41 eggs. The English birds were
38 eggs behind the leaders, but If the |
present pace is unchanged in the four j
weeks yet to be reported the English
birds will nose out with a lead of two :
eggs. American breeders are naturally i
anxious to see the American birds j
win; If they do win, it will be the!
first time in the history of egg-laying j
competitions.
There are twenty-six hens compet- |
ing that have laid over 200 eggs each, i
The highest individual to date I
has been made by an American White |
Wyandotte, 24 3 eggs having been
credited to her account. Of these
twenty-six high producers, just half
are White Leghorns and six White
Wyandottes, but note please, that
there are 33 pens of the former com
peting, while there are only Ave pens
of White Wyandottes.
The Rhode Island Reds of Dr. John
A. Fritchey, of this city, stand twen
tieth in the list of eighty-two pens
and at present they are going at a
merry clip with good chances of bet
tering their position. One of the
Fritchey hens belong to four Indi
viduals that distinguished themselves
in the forty-eighth week, by laying an
egg every day in the week. There
have been no deaths in Dr. Fritchey's
pen during the year while some pens j
have lost as many as five birds. A
strong finish and no deaths speak well
for the sturdiness of the stock.
Various Good Formulas
For Fattening Fowls;
There are various good formulas
for fattening fowls in crates or small
yards, such feeds as are at hand be
ing usually used. Two parts of finely
ground oats, two parts of ground
buckwheat and one part of cornmeal,
mixed with sour milk to the consist
ency of batter has been recommended
by the Ontario Agricultural College as
a very desirable fattening ration.
Equal parts of cornmeal, middlings
and buckwheat meal, likewise mixed
with milk, is also a very good ration.
Qrit should be given the fowls at leMt
once a week. The more ground grains
used the better the results, and it has
also been found desirable to mix the
grains with the milk twelve hours be
fore feeding. Where milk is not avail
able. beef scrap or meat meal may ho
substituted in the proportion of not
more than 15 per cent, of the whole,
and water used to wet the mash, but
milk gives better results.
