No two things can be produced sx
Actly alike, and We know that ability
to change 10 the evidence Of life.
A farmer selects - . Ans ear OF
seed corn one In which each kernel
conforms In eensral typs TO desirable
ancestor. and from this ear he takes
the SEED for . new crop. Three factors
enter into the results from tho plant.
Ing Of this seed--heredity. climate,
coll. Granting the first two factors TO
b ideal, there are ten elements re.
Quirsd In the soil to produce . de-
velopment equal In type and vitality TO
the parent seed. Oxygen. hydrogen.
nitrogen. carbon. phosphorus. calcium.
sulphur. potassium. iron and magnesi.
um are the necessary elements, ana
the absence Of one OF these ten chem
icals In necessary amount will o.
termine whether there shall be . par.
tial or even . total crop failure. Corn
can BE- fed and bred up or starved and
run down. One community will aver.
age ten bushels per acre and another
will average 100 bushels per acre. BY
the intelligent adjustment Of all the
factors. 23s bushels per acre have been
produced.
The same principles and factors ~
ply to the animal kingdom. including
man. Hersdity determines the type.
but environment governs what the In.
dividual shall BE-. In common with
the corn Of the field and with all other
forms Of life mankind reacts TO the
universal laws Of change and modinca-
ton: and this 10 the hope Of humanity.
There being NO spontaneous genera

that all are Of equally ancient lineage.

standards. This II proof that In all
life there 10 an inherent tendency to
adapt and advance.
The fundamental problem Of man Ii
to stay here one earth-"We don't
know where We are going. but we're
on the way" and We might - we'll be
comfortable about It. An intelligent
application Of the laws Of heredity ~

Like the corn plant, man too II the
product Of three factors covered BY
the term anthropological. telluric. so

ideal, the third involves q complex

The now prevailing standard OF food
values which measures the heat unita
produced from food and completely
ignores all other elements and factors.
Is not only woefully inadequate In the
light Of modern science. but consti
tutes q grave menace to the health. 10
the morals, to the sanity. and to the
