fully directed to the conquest of the earth life. Yet in all the acquire
nent of learning, the pursuit of wealth, the endeavor for the manifold
gifts of earth in comfort and home and knowledge and influence, if
these re the sole object of desire we but enjoy them for a time and
then go empty, naked, and ashamed into the spiriual-which We must
enter, even though unprepared or unfit.
Mans body is animal with the propensihes of the animal but with
out its guarding instincts. Uncontrolled by spirtuaizcd intelligence the
great powers of human nature arc perverted to cruelty and all debase-
ment. For the purpose of this life the spiritual is he supreme interest.
Any success purchased by the sacrifice of the spiritual nature is a losing
bargain. This in no sense limits life or makes smaller its achievement.
The method of soul building is revealed in the motive "whie we
look not at the things which are seen. but at the things which are not
seen, for the things which re seen are temporal; but the things which are
not seer are eternal" 1t is a question of viewpoint. Over earthly er
perience is written "then ccmeth the end" The spiritual viewpoint does
not ignore or deprecate this life. 1t puts it in its true relation. The
earth is ours to use, to enjoy, richly, grandly, but to profit by, that in the
use of this life we may be fitted for the future, that we may grow into
the experience of those ageless principles which will make US at home
whenever coming time may bear us.

HAPPY OLD AGE
Most Likely to Follow Proper Eating

H re --
AS old age advances, we require less
food to replace waste, and food that
will not overtax the digestive organs,
while supplying true nourishment.
Such an ideal food is found in Grape
Nuts, made Of whole wheat and barley
by long baking and action of diastase
In the barley which changes the starch
into sugar.
The phosphates also. placed up Nh
der the bran-coat of the wheat, are In
cluded In Grape-Nuts, but left out of
white -four. They are necessary to
the building of brain and nerve cells.
Il have used Grape-Nuts," writes an
Iowa man. "for s years and feel as good

am disposed to believe that 80 per cent. of The results Of speculation
in this country are beneficial, broadly considered. and that perhaps ten per
cent. ire detrimental to the best interests of the nation. The harm
comes through the developing Of the gambling spirit, particularly among
young men. find here among my students that any mention of the
stock exchange and its affairs attracts instant attention; they know all
about bucket shops and their methods of working, and there is hardly
any other subject on which they arc so keen &, one relating to trading
in the security and commodity markets.
But the way to deal with that danger is not to handicap business in
order that the youth Of the land may be brought up in a state Of bissful
ignorance and free from temptation. The thing to do is to educate them
to a proper appreciation of the relationships of the factors of industry
and to include the social system that furnishes this education. adequate

Of School of Commerce and Finance, New York University.

1t is pertinent for us to consider the extent to
which the money of the banks is used in speculation,
and whether the evils attending such employment of
bank deposits may not be minimizcd through a change
in the banking system. As matters stand, a man, say,
with $4,000 to invest, goes to his bank and borrows
such further amount as the money rate may make it APP
pear profitable. With this he makes his purchase
and puts up as collateral for the loan the securities,
which then become subject in the matter of their re-
sale not only to market conditions and the desires of
the operator. but to the fluctuations Of the money rate
