A canary hung directly over the big square table in the Hungarian res taurant, "Once," said a woman who was din ing there, "tho bottom dropped out of the cage, the bird flew at the or chestra yonder, and we had bird seed In our soup. It was awful." "That reminds me," said the cross eyed man, "of one time when we were having a little game of poker on the B. & O. You know how those trains roll. Well, just about the middle of the game down came all the grips and dress suit cases straight into the kitty and broke up the game. Money flew everywhere. We got so mixed we couldn't tell which had won or whero the money was that whoever had won it won. Talk about bird seed!" The Root of Altruism. The three eternal roots of altruistic energy 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 his rights. Second, the principle of charity; that 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 so. To this may be added the Idea of a definite judgment; that Is, that the action will at some timo ter rlbly matter to tho helper and the helped. G. K. Chesterton. His Size Was Known.

"How on earth did you guess that? "Ah," replied tho clerk, smiling, "gentlemen who let their wives select their collars and ties always take that size!" THE DOCTOR'S WIFE Agrees with Kim About Food. A trained nurse says: "In tho 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 the aged when deficiency of teeth renders mastication impos sible. For fever patients or those on liquid diet I find 'Grape-Nuts and albu men water very nourishing and re freshing.' "This recipe Is my own Idea and Is made as follows: Soak a teaspoonful of Grape-Nuts In a glass of water for an hour, 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 his patients. "Tersonally 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.
