done, and II is doubtful II there is a

This recipe is my own idea and is

beaten white of an egg and spoonful

fords great deal of nourishment that
even the weakest stomach can assim-

My husband is a physician and he
uses Grape-Nuts himself and orders it
many times for his patients.

ideal breakfast for anyone-well or

FALL PAINTING.

The majority of property owners
are under the impression that spring
time is the only painting time. But
the fall of the year offers several adj
vantages to the painter. One of the
most important is that surfaces are
almost sure to be dry, and there is no
frost or inner moisture to work out
after the paint is applied.

LIKE OUR GRAIN CERTIFICATES
Those Issued in Duluth on Par With
the New York Ones.

Observation-Disclosures of federal
grain inspection will find both COM
fort and confusion in the latest re-
ports from American consular agents
on the status of the American grain
trade in Germany. Consul General
Skinner, Hamburg, declares that In
spection certificates from Minnesota
on exported grain are regarded favor
ably in Germany, as are those from
New York, while complaints are fire.
Quently made against inspection GER
tificates from other places.
In the long debates and hearings
on the federal grain inspection bills in
Washington, the Minnesota inspection
system has been frequently attacked,
and the standing of it's export certifi-
Gates assailed. The report from the
American consul indicates that Mime
sofa has the only inspection system,
aside from that at the port of New
York, which is entirely acceptable to
| the German trade.
Consul General Skinner indicates.
however, that there is a demand for a
federal inspection system, or for a
| commercial system, in the United
States which will bring all inspections
up to proper standing.
Duluth Certificates Good.
Hamburg dealers regard with favor
certificates of inspection issued at
New York and Duluth" says the
American consul. Complaint is often
made that at other places the inspec.
ton is less scrupulously made than it
should be, and doubtless this will be
the case, however carefully local eX.

selves upon system which shall be
absolutely uniform, with inspectors
who shall be moved from post to post
at regular intervals"
| The fact that Minnesota's inspection
certificates, such as issued at Duluth
on export grain, are backed by the
state gives them their standing
abroad, as the foreign dealer knows
the accuracy of the inspection.
American Grain Popular.
American grain is very popular"
says Consul General Skinner, "as it is
all handled by modern machinery from
the time it is cut until placed on board
the ship. 1t is practically free from
all dirt, and very seldom the dirt found
in American grain amounts to more
than 1 per cent.
Although there is not exactly de-
mand or apparent need in the trade of
the deposit of official standard sam
plies of grain at the beginning of every
crop year, in the various ports in Eu-
rope, either in the consulates or else
where, it would undoubtedly meet with
great satisfaction on the part of local
business men if sample system could
be devised by which the local purchas.
ers might be kept regularly informed
of the result and qualities of the crops
in the various exporting districts
Such a method would surely have a
stimulating effect in years of plenty
and of good crops, and in other years
remove the belief sometimes current
that our shippers of grain are trying
to dump poor crops upon the German
consumer by incorrectly classifying
the various grades"

NEW COURTHOUSE OPPOSED.
Injunction Asked to Stop Work in
Red Lake County.

Thief River Falls-At a meeting Of
the board of county commissioners of
Red Lake County, held at the county
seat last Tuesday, contract was let
to Mike Brady, of Red Lake Falls, for
the construction of the courthouse for
the county, at figure approximating
$4,000.
A suit restraining the members of
the board from constructing such a
building is pending in the courts at
the present time and the taxpayers
who oppose the expense involved in
this matter have E. T. Young, former
attorney general, and City Attorney
Talvorsen, of Thief River Falls, caring
for their interests.
These attorneys assert that the SUI
preme court will sustain them in their
contention that a courthouse cannot
be built pending the election for di-
vision of the county, the petition for
which was filed with the governor
months ago.

The Root of AItruisnn.

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 l ought to help my neighbor to
his rights. Second, the principle of
charity; that 1 owe infinite tenderness
to any shape or kind of man, however
unworthy or useless to the state.
Third, the principle of free will; that
/ can really decide to help my neigh
Dor, and am truly disgraced if do not
do so. To this may be added the
idea Of definite judgment; that ID,
that the action will at some time ter.
ribly matter to the helper and the
helped.-G. X. Chesterton.
