The Root of Altruism
The three eternal roots of altrulstio
rnergy are these: First the principle
of justice that there Is a moral law
before which all men are equal so
that I ought to help my neighbor to
bis rights Second the principle of
charltytbat I owe Infinite tenderness
to any shape or kind of man however
unworthy or useless to the state
Third the principle of free will that
I can really decide to help my neigh-
bor and am truly disgraced if I do not
do bo To this may be added the
idea of a definite judgment that is
that the action will at some time ter-
ribly matter to the helper and the
helped — G K Chesterton
Where Sitting Bull Wat
Doane Robinson bead of tbe depart-
ment of history of the state of South
Dakota saysf Sitting Bull and the
Custer massacre: "The Indians tell
n that Sitting null was a medicine
chief that he’ was the greatest Influ-
ence among the Sioux at that time by
reason of bis constant agitation
against the whites and that be did
not personally engage In the fight
ngainst Custer but that be was back
on an elevation between the Little
Big Horn and the Big Horn making
medicine” — Indian School Journal
THE DOCTOR’8 WIFE
Agrees with Him About Food
A trained nurse Bays: "In the
practice of my profession I have
found so many points in favor of
Grape-Nuts food that I unhesitatingly
recommend It to all my patients
"It is delicate and pleasing to the
palate (an essential in food for the
sick) and can be adapted to all ages
being softened with milk or cream
for babies or tiie aged when deficiency
f teeth renders mastication impos-
sible For fever patients or those on
Iquld diet I find ‘Grape-Nuts and albu-
men water very nourishing and re-
freshing "This recipe is my own idea and i
made as follows: Soak a teaspoonful
3f Grape-Nuts In a glass of water for
an Lour strain and serve with the
beaten white of an egg and a spoonful
of fruit Juice for flavouring This af-
fords a great deal of nourishment that
even the weakest stomach can assim-
ilate without any distress
"My husband Is a physician and he
uses Grape-Nuts himself and orders It
many times for bis patients
"Personally I regard a dish of Grape-
Nuts with fresh or stewed fruit as the
ideal breakfast for anyone — well or
sick”
In any case of stomach trouble nerv-
ous prostration or brain fag a 10 day
trial of Grape-Nuts will work wonders
toward nourishing and rebuilding and
in this way ending the trouble
