'Out of police court come3 exposure of frightful immoral doings in which Baker young -people figure as principals and it-makes solicltious parents anxious in the extreme regarding the. welfare of their children and the awful temptations that beset them... Well, it doesn't cost anything to give advice and t(iat .article is very gratituously handed out. The best we have heard is : . V "Make the low neck dresses higher, the skirts lower and put the young lady at work in the kitchen helping mamma Teach' her. things practical and cut out a few dances and auto rides' in the evening." .' '"For the young fellow, put him to work, if he wants a new suit let him earn it. Make him understand that home is His ''.place at 9 o'clock in the evening. Stop giving lim money to'.buy cigarettes and tomfoolery. In short start in early with club and use it unsparingly. He will then better respect home and. authority.
