world were more generally given to
the art of making love with genuine

Live So as to Avoid Falling.

Not all fruit falls for the same req.

Of the falling, but there are thou
sand rehsons that might be found for
the fall. Sometimes the stem does not
seem to be able to hold the fruit. The
fruit itself seems to be all right only
it won't stay on the tree until matur-
ity. It's like the moral grip of men.
Without any apparent reason they just
let so of their mornings and down they
so. Once down it doesn't take long to
begin the processes that always pro-
claim the fallen fruit. So the part >of
wisdom is to so husband the fruit that

white bladders filled with a gelatinous
substance. The Scientific American
claims that this is the strongest adj
