lactated food is too well known TO re-

equally as convincing as the statements

Recognize the Worthy Qualities.

The secret. not only OF harmonious,
but of the more helpful social rela-

ture the higher qualities of each in
dividual to the utmost possible degree,
and to ignore. so far as may be, those
less worthy traits and qualities Every
character has its proportion OF the
good and bad: and it IS universal
feeling, common TO every human be-
ing, to feel that they who see our best
rather than orr worst see most truly
And this consciousness IS not result
of egoism, but Is simply because II is
only the best which, in any permanent
sense, is true. and the worst IS bu.

they who have most observed and
