The Crop of Advice

By Winifred Black

I sometimes think the crop of ad-bltha's pal" cheeks and a .'park

r.4ti".i of Labor, tnuay ajipr-aled

to ti;- rn-rican iopl' rot to "turn th ir barks on KmIa b( can mo of opposition t present conditions tin it." Firt of Mi, Mr. Oanperv bald in a -tat. rot nt to the American Crntr.il on, mitten t'r Kusiati rlif f."Kus--ia needs the establishment of industries winch supply the basic needs- (.f her people." "There is need for those of lis who live where free institutions hao been established to hold out a heipir.fr hand to the peopb? of Ilussia in their present plUht; they are passing through a terrible ordeal," the statement read. "This is not the time, for free Americans to turn aside because we are opposed to what is transpiring in Russia. "Lemomber that the people of Russia in protest against a corrupt government destroyed Russia's imperial despotism. Remember the idealism that was in Russia. Remember the wonderful democracy that developed out of the life of the peasants in the old time. The tyranny and brutality of the old regime finds its reflex and reaction ir the connter-extremity of tho r. recent regime."

OVERCOME BY GAS FROM AUTO TRUCK I'.ert McGowan, residin.tr at the Lafayette hotel, who is employed by the American Telephone Co. wap overcome by pas fumes while at work in front of the residence at 317 L Lasalle a v. late Monday afternoon. Mr. McGowan had only recently recovered from a seipre of intluenza and had not fully recovered his strength when the fumes arising from tras generated by the automobile truck, which he was riding were stronpr enough to cause him to collapse. He was taken to the Lpv orth hospital.

vice is altogether to oTent for one üttlo world. I hive so many letters akirtr advice that I cuht not to feel overburdened with that crop; but tho letters run a g-ood deal on th- sair.e .subj-cLs. and I cannot lut feel that of advLsinp and couner'llinrr there l.s too much in th- world. Just look at yourself. Think of your own daily experience. Can you wear a new hat without boin;? advised how it might be changed, or what you must do when you pet a new one? Can you havo a toothache without being loaded down with all ports of remedies, to say nothing of the recommendations to the pet dentists of your various friends? Can you po to the library without being advised what books to get and whether to read the said book carefully or to skip through it like a grasshopper in a June meadow? Advice grows all the year round. It comes up too soon and grows too fast, and never comes to an end. It would bo all right tbUs advice if it were of a fine, discriminating quality; but most of it is of the kind that does not discriminate. My neighbor over the way has had three husbands, and I imagine she was a fairly good wife to all of them. They say she's looking for a fourth, now, and, whether this be so or not, she certainly talks of nothing but the married state, past, present and future. Now, she is Kreat friends with my maiden aunt and goes over to talk with her three or four times a week. Aunt Tabitha, who is a goodhearted creature, sometimes gives a little

groan when she sees the much-wid-1 owed coming then she sits content- j edly down with her embroidery and j lets the storm of reminiscence and t

gossip elrive over her devoted head. She remains passive until her neighbor gets to the advising stage, and then, if you are watching, you can see a little "red" change Aunt Ta-

firo light her dark ey. s. So Tmnic Wae. "Now, dear Miss Tabitha" -ays the Much-Widowed, "you have lived too long alone. Tbrr' ar- two mm I know of and -!th r of them would make you a pood husband." "Don't talk about it." s-.iys Mi.-s Tabitha. "I don't want any husband and you know it. My time for marrying has passed, anyway." "Oh, no!" persisted the pad fly. "Marriage is the natural Mate. You have missed the best things of life, and you ought to try and make up for it now." And so the long hours wear away, Miss Tabitha growing more and more silent as her persecutor talks. Tho weeds of advice grow very strongly in the field of matrimonial advice. There may be a spear of golden grain occasionally, but it hardly counts among the flourishing weeds. Rut it is the mother of children who gets the overwhelming load of

advice. Rvery man and woman. either of hi?h or low degree, feels competent to advise about th care and the bringing tip o; children. If the baby was given all the medicine Iiis mother's friends prescribed, his 'if would bo a short one, and when the children pets to be of school ape the counsel that comes from every direction is bewildering. It continues as life goes on. and the peculiarity of a great deal of advice is that it does not fit the case. A few months ago a youncr girl I know who lias been working in an ot'ico for some years went to a physician, a specialist on lung troubles, for advice. This girl takes an of herself, her mother and two young brothers. Thrt family capital consists solely of the glrl'.s salary. She was looking forward with apprehension to any kind of a doctor's bill. The physician gave her a very careful vxamination, and when it was over he told her of the milk she ought to drink, the juicy steaks she ought to eat and the perfect rest sho ought to take, spending many hours daily in bed. She must cease all work, and above all she was not to worry. And then warming to his work the physician ended by advising his patient that a year In southern Arizona a year of outdoor lifo and rest and good food . was what sho "must have. All the other things would be quite useless. What Sho Did. And so the dazed young creature came out of the consulting room In

clined to cry. F.ut by the time she arrive. l .-he could only burst into a fit of hearty laughter. Here she hnd drawn pood part of her siv'ntrs out of the bank to p .y a fee to a physician who calmly ad vis d her to do the imo:ji''ef knowing perfectly well all of '.'.ip circumstances. I haven t a doubt that he would have advised her to go to the south of France if that former refuse of ailing Americans had been now on a going bisis. This is a sensible girl that I am talking about. She took as much of the prae tical advise as she could, going on with her work, and resting every moment when she was not at work, t-nd eating" such nourishing food as the high prices of everything enabled her to buy, and -she's getting on well. For whenever she thinks of the doctor and southern Arizona she has a good lamrh, and there's nothing like laughing, as a cure. (Copyright, 1320.)
