THE |MPERT|kENCE OF GIVING ADVICE
Turn on the Givers and Attempt to Dose Them With
Their Own Medicine and They Are Resentful
and Offended-You Can Never Tell

The outrageous impertinence OF
! these advice givers,' continued the
other person, lis only exceeded by
their abominable complacence. Who
are they, pray. anyway. Don't they
know that the way they dress, do their
hair, walk, talk. sing. swallow, dance
and generally hit the high spots is just
as offensive to the other person as
| the other persons divergations are to
them?
Does it ever occur to them that
they are. in addition, intolerable and
maddening bores with their eternal adj
visings and bepreachmentsc That no
body. on the other hand. cares enough
about them to inquire whether their
souls are saved or not"
''Ah.' cried the cynic. you have
touched on a phase that has always
appealed to me. That is the reason
give these advise-obsessed ones so
much leaway
Does 1t not argue an intense inter
est in your fascinating personality to
be made the target of so much admoni-
ton and advice? Does it not show that
you are center about which your
world revolves-that you are, without
any desire or effort on your part, con-
stantly in the spotlight of their re-
gard-that you concentrate everything
to a point in your environ?
Indeed went on the cynic, Il
should feel neglected. abused, if l was
left adviceless and alone"
Don't you remember Maude Mad
dern." asked the other person. land
the lovely way she had of writing
about resignation. soul-uplifts, bowling
to the will of an inscrutable but ador-
ed higher power and doing good to
your fellows?
How she preached death as a beau
tiful translation into another sphere,
how we should never grieve for these
we loved. how, indeed. grief was
wrong, and obtruding it upon our
friends selfish? How we should skip
along singing and smiling and doing
good and throwing our burdens into
the offing?"
"One of the Sort who used to point
to the Don't Worry" motto on the
wall when people began talking about
their troubles and said she was sorry
but had an important engagement
down town and for you to be sure and
come again"
Yes, that's Maude,' said the other
person, And then when her husband
died she was inconsolable-used to
PROSTATE herself for hours on his
grave-and sorry as everyone was,
wore everyone out with her insistence
on her grief as the only overwhelming
thing in the universal"
(Which only goes to prove that you
can never tell" murmured the cynic.

az PROF. J.F. THOMPSON.

II the question were asked, Where
do plants get the food which sustains
heir lives and which enables them to
Increase in size, and which enables
them to perform all plant activities -
II would not be at all surprising if
nine people out of ten would answer,
From the ground This answer. even
! If wrong. would be quite natural, be-
cause plants have their roots in the
ground, and farmers plant their seeds
in the ground; and when their corn
comes up. they cultivate the ground
and fertilize it and keep the weeds
down, because they are supposed to
use up the food that is intended for
the corn.
Soil is spoken of as being fertile or
sterile referring to its ability to supply
or not supply plants with food. We are
told that If a piece of land is planted
year after year that the soil becomes
exhausted. What is meant by the soil
being exhaustedo Why, the natural
answer would be that the plant food is
all used up. Soil may be exhausted
sure enough, but is it food that has
been used up? There are some words
that are used in such a loose way that
and the word Food" is one, and we
need not be surprised that the mean
ing is obscure for even our old friend
Webster didn't seem to be perfectly
clear in his mind as to plant food. He
had the conception that most of US
have as to the food of animals. He de-
fines 1t in words that we have to look
up in some other part of the diction-
airy. He substitutes such words as MI
triment, Aliment. Victuals and Provis-
ions" He also gives a quotation from
Shakespeare which contains the word
Food" and then, having shifted the
responsibility over upon the Bard of
Avon," he goes on to the definition of
Fool"
We are surrounded in this world by
two classes of matter which we call
inorganic and organic. The first or the
inorganic is matter that is very diff
cult to be changed into something else.
Take for example, lead it may be
pounded into sheets or made into
pipes or moulded into bullets; yet it
mixed with water, but when it settles,
it is clay,or it may be burned. or moul-
ded into vessels: but it is still clay;
or take a piece of quartz rock; it may
be broken to pieces or melted and
made into lamp chimneys, but the pie
ces of rock or the chimneys are still
quartz. Soil is mostly this kind of mat
ter it is sand or gravel or clay, no
matter how many or how few crops
are raised. They may be fertile or 9th
erwise, but they remain the same
kinds of soil They are inorganic mat
ter.
The other kind, or organic matter is
easily changed into something else;
for example apiece of wood placed in
the fire soon disappears as wood, or
if an apple or potato be allowed to
decay, the results are not like the ap-
pie or the potato: SO every plant or an
imal at death soon becomes entirely
different from it's living form. Every
thing. or nearly everything, that is the
result of life process we call organ
ic.
Now if we say that food is anything
that will sustain and continue life and
then show what things do this, we will
have a clear notion of what food is.
