These grains of sand are an inexhaust-
lble source Of nutrition for plants in
con junction with air and water.
The conceit of the old philosophers
was a correct one, that all life was a
compound of earth, air and water
They believed that fire was the medi-
um by which these materials could be
made to unite so as to produce life In
this they were also correct, but it re-
quired the work of the Creator and not
the chemist to bring it about Now we
know that fire is simply an oxidating
process, but destructive to organic ma
terial
All processes of life are also oxidat-
ing processes.
Certain solids can be completely
washed of all organic material and yet
afford nutrition for plant life and
growth. Sand from broken down or
crushed granite is found to form very
fertile soil.
Soils are like banks-only solvent in
proportion to their assets We cannot
draw on them for what they do not
possess.
Origin of Soils.
Rain and snow falling on the rocks
composing our mountains and hills sink
into every crack and crevice, carrying
with them surface material previously
obtained by the eroding action of the
weather and the ammonia, Of which
there is a constant supply in the atmos-
phere and discharged in the rain and
snow.
The materials brought down by the
rain and snow are lodged in the soil
and crevices and afford sufficient matrix
to start the growth of vegetation and
maintain the same to fruition The

gum, for example, are such compounds of
oxygen and water, with the additional
element, carbon.
In another class Of substances contain
ing carbon as an element, oxygen and
hydrogen are again present; but the
proportion of oxygen is greater than
would be required for producing water
by it's union with hydrogen. The num-
erous organic acids met with in plants
belong, with few exceptions, to this class
A third class of vegetable compounds
contains carbon and hydrogen, but no
oxygen, or less of that element than
would be required to convert all the
hydrogen into water by oxidation
These may be regarded as compounds
of carbon with the elements of water and
an excess of hydrogen They are there
fore called hydrocarbons, and are rep
resented by the oils and fats.
Carbohydrates are those combinations
of the elements carbon and hydrogen in
which carbon predominates, and are rep
resented by the sugar, starches, gums
and woody fibre.
Nitrogen is also an element entering
into the composition of plants, and a
very important one, although it is con-
tanned in much smaller proportion
than these previously mentioned.
The foregoing elements of plant struc-
ture may all be obtained exclusively
from the atmosphere, of which there is
an inexhaustible supply Some plants
obtain them thus exclusively
Mineral Elements.
These last, while found in much small
Ter amounts and proportions than the
so-called organic elements mentioned
above, are nevertheless of great import
ance to plant life. Where found in or
ganic structure they should properly be
classed likewise as organic elements.
The classihcations of scientists, how
ever, call for distinction, for the fol-
lowing reasons, namely:
First, they are found throughout our
universe as primary elements unorgan-
lied as we'll as in organized nature. Both
revelation and geology teach us that the
mineral conditions preceded the vege-
table, as the vegetable preceded the ami
NAL life of this earth
Second. They are not necessary to all
forms Of plant life, while the elements
described above are.
In their ordinary growth plants obtain
their nourishment from both the at
mosphere and the earth
Those plants requiring no minerals Tor
very little) in their composition live

Should you be suffering now from any stomach disorder you can get relief within five minutes.
 If you will get from your pharma- cist a 5O-cent case of Pape's Diapepsin you could always go to the table with hearty appetite, and your meals would taste good, because you would know there would be no Indigestion or Sleepless nights or Headache or Stom- ach misery all the next day; and, besides. you would not need laxatives or liver pills to keep your stomach and bowels clean and fresh.
 Pape's Diapepsin can be obtained from your druggist. and contains more than sufficient to thoroughly cure the worst case of Indigestion or Dyspepsia. There is nothing better for Gas on the Stomach or sour odors from the stom- ach or to cure Stomach Headache.

THE PRISONERS ESCAPE.

Judge Phillips was holding court in Missouri and stopping at a hotel that was known all over the state as one of the worst. if not the worst.
 A man was brought before the judge charged with larceny and pleaded guilty. Prisoner" said the judge. ''this is an atrocious crime you have committed and I intend to punish you severely. I wish I had it in my power to send you to our hotel for six months. but I have not that power. and therefore can only put you in jail. ail."-Philadelphia Sat urday Evening Post.

NEEDS A WIDER VISION.

1t is pretty hard for one to make up
his mind as 10 whether Ebert Hubbard
is philosopher or fakir. 1t is certain
he is seldom fool.
Recently Mr.. Hubbard has been writ
ing some strong articles about the evils
OF race track gambling, and which will
prove valuable contributions 10 the
anti-race track crusade in this and other
states.
But Gilbert also makes some bad lapses.
Having no religion of his own 10
speak of, he has taken delight in poking
at other peoples religion. That is a
mistake.
The man who jabs at things so sacred
as mans religion lays himself liable.
To put it on critical grounds alone, the
destructive critic is always in danger.
A shrewd dialectician will never cham.
pion negative. And when you say an
other mans religion is false or sham
you are up against it 10 prove that yours
is better one.
Some time ago Mr. Hubbard went after
the enthusiastically Mr.. Chapman
and BILLY" Sunday, whom he charged
with being in the business for revenue
only.
Which, of course, invites attention 10
Mr.. Hubbard's own style OF graft.
Simply because man is engaged in
religious work, must he starye or 90
nakedi 1t might easily be shown that
the two revivalists mentioned are able
to make more money at other business.
And what they earn they are entitled
TO.
But the main thing is this: Some oil
their methods aside, methods that smack
of the Hubbard cult, revivalists do an
immense amount OF good. We remem-
Der that Mr.. Chapman was credited with
having cleaned up Denver morally, as il
was never cleaned up before. And
BILLY" Sunday has literally transformed
the atmosphere OF scores of towns
Can Mr.. Hubbard point TO any such
accomplishments?
These revivalists attack the citadel o.
good citizenship-men's hearts. The!
fight evil in low and high places. They
develop civic righteousness.
The fact is this East Aurora philos
opher Tor fakir) should infuse more
sweetness and light into his philosophy
He needs a wider vision OF the neec
for helpfulness. And more charity If
his heart.
This is a big world and its ways aIt
as wide as truth is plentiful, and there
are multitude OF highways. Give tc
every man his elbow room.

An associate press telegram on Mon,
day announces that wholesale liquor
dealers are arriving in Cincinnati from
all over the country to consider plans
for a nation. wide war on prohibition.
The telegram also says it is the purpose
of this organization OF liquor dealers 10
drop the present defensive attitude for
the offensive, and begin an active fight
throughout the country to check the
spread OF prohibition sentiment AS 10
the attitude of these people that certainly
has been offensive enough, but why they
should seek to fight prohibition, when
they have been claiming all along that
prohibition does not prohibit, is more
than the average man can tell.

The Souvenir Supplement OF The Lake
land News, issued last week, is one OF
the most artistic as well as deliberately
illustrated papers ever issued from a
Florida press. 1t covers Lakeland and
its industries, residences and public bus
mess blocks thoroughly with clear illus
trations filling some IS pages exclusive
of cover, and is all so neatly compiled
as to make any person lucky enough TO
receive one resolve TO keep ii. The
volume is especially valuable in that it
gives one a substantial idea of the ire
mendous growth of this hustling little
inland city during the past few years.
Among the industries most conspicuous
for growth is the business OF the Lake

Do farmers eat the proper
sort OF food?

The farmer OF today buys a much
larger proportion Of the food that goes
on the table than he did ten years ago.
It's a good thing that this is so because
he has a great variety to select from.
He should, however, use great care
in selecting for the best results in
health and strength.
The widespread tendency in the c,,,'
to increase the amount Of Quaker Oats
eaten is due very largely TO the recent
demonstrations BY scientific men that
the Quaker Oats ted man is the man
with creates physical endurance and
greatest mental vigor.
Farmers should give this subject
careful thought and should increase
the quantity Of Quaker Oats eaten by
themselves, their children and the
farm hands.
