When Youth Learns

Education does not begin until one
is Is and continues until IS, II it ends
at all, says British novelist. Tell
that to the sophisticated youth of the
present. Is there q flapper who does
not think she knows infinitely more
than her mother, and is there a cigar
cited youth who does not think he
can teach his father? While the
older may know better, youth holds
to its fancied superiority.
As for the diplomaed thousands,
how dare even the boldest novelist
question their education? Do not
most OF them nurse the illusion that
they know all that is to be known?
Age will teach them otherwise, but
youth has to learn for itself. And
when it has learned that its fancied
wisdom was largely folly and that its
imagined education was lacking in
much Of the real thing, it is no long
er youth. That Is the tragedy Of It.

Natures Scowl and Smile
(Chicago Tribune)

Frank Ridgeway in wide swing
around the country has encountered
drouth, desolation, and despair In
some spots and agricultural cheerful
ness, industry. and bounteous crops
IN others. Nature has not visited all
the country as messenger Of doom
but IN many spots has been her
smiling, benevolent self. Kansas has
been scared to the soul, but Missis-
sippi is singing the song Of harvest
home. Wisconsin has prosperous
farms and New Workers are putting
up q varied and bounteous crop.
Some parts Of the country which
have supported millions look Is If
final desolation had fallen upon
them. Others. with abundant rain,
have produced above the average. No
one could predict for 1896 what the
condition will be. They may be
completely reversed. The land that
lies stricken in its own dust may be
q Garden Of Eden. The proposal to
accept this years conditions as final
and to move stricken people off
stricken lands to spots government
tally prepared for them may lack
provision. There are, Of course, peo-
pie who live on lands which are al
ways marginal or submarginal, but
It may be taken into consideration
that such lands frequently attract
the very people who struggle on them.
The land and the people are con-
genial. There are marginal and SUBJ
marginal people, just Is there are
marginal and subrnarginal lands. It
. not improbable that submarginal
people would soon reduce rich land
to about the same degree Of pro-
ductivity g that Of the land from
which they were moved. There are
many mountain people, for instance.

Breaking Twili9ht's Peace

Most Of us think Of the twilight
as . sort Of witching hour when, the
days work done, we watch nature
draw her purple mantle over the rim
OF . flaming sky and peace settles
upon the earth. It is q time for rest
and contemplation, for barking back
into the past and probing into the
future.
Altogether it Is very desirable
time Of the day. but it. too, has its
handicaps.
One Of them Is that the peace of
the twilight hour too frequently is
broken by the crash of fatal motor
ing accidents. Reduced visibility
leads to trouble and 50 the number Of
mishaps at this period is three times
that which prevails at 8 q. m. when
1t Is easier to see.

WHY SOME PERSONS
ACCUMULATE FAT

In an earlier talk explained that
Psychologists at present teach that the
fat stored In the body Is derived
mainly from fats and oils in the food,
and to q less extent from carbohy-
drates sugars and starches). That
is true In health.
In obesity or oversize beyond ques-
tion much Of the superfluous fat is
formed from carbohydrate food taken
In excess Of the actual needs OF the
body.
Here's one consolation, II It Is .
consolation, for people who are too
fat because they are too fond Of car
bchydrate. Fat from this source Is
rather firmer or more solid in con-
sistence than fat from oils and fats.
That TOO, too solid fat" which re-
sists determined dieting 80 longl For
all this you may thank your Ice cream,
fountain beverages, breads, cakes,
csndy, pudding, pie. crackers, cookies,
sugar. syrup, corn meal and other
cereal products (but not the grains
from which they are made).
Carbohydrate fat Is dumb fat. One
Of the effects Of taking an excess Of
carbohydrates particularly manufac-
tured or purified things, Is that the
tissues retain q larger proportion Of
water. This does not mean dropsy.
OF water-logging, but 1t does mean
that the body tissues are all rather
flabby, including, I suspect. the
brain, and this, at least to my mind,
explains why carbohydrate fat Is
dumb or why the person who carries
1t Is.
At the risk of becoming tiresome to
the general reader wish to emphasize
for the benefit Of the carbohydrate
fat reader that the reason why SO
many people are oversize Is that they
eat too much Of the delectable car
bohydrate-foods easy to buy, easy to
prepare or requiring no preparation,
easy and quick to digest. economical
10 . degree. nourishing, and 20 darn
palatable!
Let me explain what I said above
about cereals and the grains from
which they are made. It Is my belief,
though I'm not sure could prove this
scientifically. that the calcium and
phosphorus In the wheat kernel either
satisfies . craving Of the body which
overindulgence In purified starch or
sugar falls to satisfy, or else provides
something which tends to normalize
metabolism and correct the tendency
toward obesity. For the same reason
I think refined breakfast cereals are
generally bad medicine. but that ordi-
nary wheat such Is you may get from

or seed store. cooked as you like, eaten
raw, cracked or ground or entire. Is .

Answer-Why battle? It's just q
habit. Air and sun will keep the skin
clean and healthy and beautiful. Soap
and water, convenient for removing
CRIME, are always more or less injuri-
Gus to complexion and skin. When
you must battle use only lukewarm or
cool water and following the wet
wash, dry the skin well and immed-

Lady Beware

In one OF the helpful bulletins
which 1t issues regularly for the bene-
fit Of North Dakota consumers. the
laboratory Of the state regulatory de-
partment warns housewives to be-
ware Of q maple syrup racket" which
is being worked throughout the coun-
try.
Every year, 1t recites, agents call
from house to house, taking orders
for this delicious old-time sweet.
Usually the product delivered Is the
same as that ordered and the buyer
gets his moneys worth, but 1t some
times happens that the man who
offered the real thing as q sample
delivers an imitation In exchange for
the money. In most cases, the ex-
perts point out. the fraud Is discov-
cred too late to do anything about It
and the unwary purchaser has IN
unpleasant experience.
All OF which may be both q sad
commentary on the frailty Of human
nature and . warning to beware Of
the door-knocker. The bargain which
is offered by the unsolicited caller
usually can be obtained for less
money in local store, and the store
is always there to adjust any legiti-
mate complaint which may be offered
Most persons Offering farm pro-
duce for sale are honest and are to
be commended for their enterprise
in building up retail trade among
their city neighbors, but the person
who calls at your home to offer man
ufactured or processed articles IS not
wholly above suspicion. Every house.
wife should remember that the door
knocker is playing his own game and
that every offer, from one of . free
brush to that Of free service. should
be closely examined before 1t Is &C.

Agriculture's Need

All AGRICULTURAL SLateSmauSnlp CnaL

scientific problems Of production and
the economic problems of distribu-
ton, but to create q finer and fairer
social order throughout rural Amer
lea. is the present need Of agriculture.
Specialists have served the farmer
well. The chemist, bacteriologist,
mechanical engineer and their fellow
specialists have effected q revolution
in the methods and machinery Of
production, and in finding new uses
for that which is produced.
The economist has turned his at
tention to the distribution of the
products that these specialists have
helped the farmer to produce In
greater abundance, but his work is far
from completed.
Unless the economist completes his
job by placing the farmer on q par
with industry the day may come
when the individual and independent
farmer will be supplanted by great
farming corporations, which will do
for agriculture what they have done
for industry. Farm corporations are
before us unless farm cooperatives are
taken more seriously by the little
farmer.
Who can say that on agricultural
craftsmanship Of an effective order
will not come forth from the inten-
sive study Of farm problems inspired
by the plight Of the wheat, cotton
and corn growers?
