Concernlnu Advice.

In a magazine for women appears
this choice bit Of advice: Don't go
out to dinner unless you are willing
to talk" Sounds rather needless,
don't it? Persons of the gentle sex
generally do talk when out to dinner
or elsewhere. One Is reminded OF
that old saying about Carrying Goals
to Newcastle" and all that sort OF
thing And it thrusts itself on ones
attention that a large percentage oil
the advice so generously bestowed on
both sexes is rather on the unneces
sary order. Yet we read it and hunger
and thirst after 1t, don't we? And
why? Isn't 1t because we want to be
advised to do the things We "a ant tc
do. like to do and will do anyway.
The kind of advice we don't care muct
about is that which runs counter t.
our. personal wishes and intentions
Givers Of such advice are sometimes
regarded as malicious, meddling, per
nicious persons. even though 1t Is &C
knowledged that their advice is wholly
sound and reliable. Really. come Il
think of it, the situation is enough Il
discourage any but the most Willing

zen entered a convention ball the
plague hit him behind the ear and
he was bereft of all sense and reason
"A man would get up on the plat
form, take drink of water. and begin
to speak Then the victims OF the
disease would think that they had to
do something queer Most of them

often the plague would sweep over
his audience and they'd go into con-

Taft at the other. And the people
actually excited about 1t. You'd think
1t was something important. like the
invention of Tonnesen's Sun Ray

those days was because 1t was 80
hard for a lot Of the people to keep
warm In winter and get enough food

had those obsolete words. want and
suffering And you and l. lad. we
know that when that Norwegian pro
fessor began to catch sun rays and
store them for use In winter. and
when the old Russian inally hit upor
