All Need the Earth.

There is an Antaeus in every one
of us and in the whole of us which
needs the EARTH" says Henry Dem
Arrest Lloyd in his posthumous book
"A grandmother was spreading before
the vision of beloved child a picture
of the beauties of heaven with its
gates of pearl and its pavements of
gold. What said the scornful boy,
unpactivated, no mud?' There spoke
the real philosopher. We are earth
animals, and we need contact with
all the aspects Of nature, human ma
ture, and other nature. They who
feed wholly on white bread and the
tenderloin and the sweetness and
light of the best people, art for the
arts sake, cannot get phosphates
enough and soon develop the ricketts,.
The man heard say he liked to eat
with the common people once in a
while, the woman you heard say that
she thought 1t was her duty to as
