 be kept clean and strong In order that our children 

 may not be handicapped in their efforts to live. 

 One assumes a serious responsibility In taking a 

 chance at blasting the life of his child of the future.

 the human race. The civilization of to-morrow 

 Is the product of to-day. The health of men who 

 shall participate in this civilization of to-morrow 

 is being decided to-day. One's moral responsi- 

 bility for the health of future women should be 

 enough to keep any sane man clean and pure. The 

 knowledge that one's grandchildren may become 

 insane or be born imbeciles as a result of his im-

 shunned. It Is a strange moral code that allows 

 a young man to mortgage his future and the future
