LISTEN, WORLD!

Let's analyze this real love- of AIS

largely compounded? OF two-the
natural mating urge into which they
have newly come as heirs of the ages,
and the gregarious urge. the desire
to 'chum up" and enjoy intimate and

satisfying companionship with some
other human. Now. those two urges
are natural, normal, beautiful and
satisfying. but at eighteen they
should form no basis for matrimonial
plans. They may be most intense and
sanctified. yet still they are no in
dication that those feeling them
would make a success Of a marital
union.
Why? Because there are purely
natural impulses-things for which
young humans make no conscious. in
they have no definite. Intellectual
control They grow them just as they
grow their noses. And marriage
isn't a natural affair. 1t is, In many
ways. directly opposed to nature. 1t
violates and thwarts nature. 1t Is a

Of tho commonwealth and the care Of
the next generation.
Frankly, natural urges don't fit you
any more for the job of marriage
than they At you for the Job of street

instruction-andq quite a little expert
mentation with human nature. In
short. you need the same sort of COM

you need for any other adult partner
ship-only more SO. And by the time
you have achieved this training you
will be quite a different person from
what you are at eighteen.
You'll be different in mind, soul,
body--and pockotbook. The things
you like now you won't like then. The
people who attract you now will bore
you then. From your present ego
will emerge a someone who Is a
stranger to eighteen. You have no
right to bind that stranger to a COM

Conservation of the Tonsils.

A school principal out west pro-
poses this text:
will you please send me informa-
ton concerning the proper care OF
the throat, with special reference to
keeping the tonsils from becoming
diseased?"
Answering this in the lightning
calculator fashion in order to keep
up with my mail. told the principal
that the only care / could suggest
was to leave 'em thoroughly alone
and to strive to avoid the respiratory
infections by keeping outside OF the
five-foo, barrage.
After I had mailed the answer
very strange and unaccustomed feel
ing came over me. a feeling that
maybe the principal was regular
human being and deserved more COM
passion or something. So ! decided to
work it over into a sermon.
Thinking it over leisurely. what is
the popular belief about protection of
the throat? That one with sore
throat or one afraid of sore throat
should wear a rag, as it is conVen-
tionally called. around the neck. or
some extra clothing. That. of course
is a confession of faith in taking

tonsilities. diphtheria and the like.
All very we'll for old ladies in their
dotage, but not properly discussed in

Taking a stride forward to about
the antiseptic era, what is the sue
cessor? That one with sore throat
or tonsilities or infected or diseased
tonsils should gargle till he is blue
book, with some antiseptic Solution
on the schoolboy theory that the an
tiseptic will destroy or discourage
the germs in the tonsils. All very
we'll for the unsophisticated. but the
scientific fact is that no known anti
way will destroy or discourage germs
in the tonsile without dangerously
injuring the throat; and the practical
truth is, as any one with common
sense should see, that antiseptics used
in gargles do not accomplish wha,
they purport to accomplish.

tremely fond of each other. There
fore, when the one became i'll, the
other hastened down to her pet flor

fond of flowers, she pictured her
friends delight upon receiving the
lovely purple asters which she had
chosen to send her. Therefore she
was surprised and not a little hurt
when she received no acknowledge
ment whatsoever from her friend.
The donor was very busy, however.
with many duties, and knowing.
through other sources, that her friend
had recovered, she tried to put the
matter out of her mind. At last the
day came when she met her friend

coolly. Sure that something was

asked if she had received them

reply. "But the next time you send
flowers as practical joke. please
choose some one else to send them to.
She swept off beyond reach for
further discussion. The unfortunate
sender of the flowers was even more
at a loss than ever.
Several days later she had to go to
her florists to send some flowers to
another friend. The florist told her
that the asters had been returned by
the irate friend, and upon closer ex-
animation the lady learned that he
had misunderstood the order and had
done the purple asters up as a
funeral piece. with palm leaves and
everything.
Then light dawned. and the lady
