The Root Of Altruism.

The three eternal roots Of altrulstic
energy are these First, the principle
of justice: that there is moral law
before which all men are equal, so
that ought to help my neighbor to
his rights. Second. the principle of
charity that | owe infinite tenderness
to any shape or kind OF. man, however
unworthy or useless to the state.
Third, the principle Of free will; that

idea OF n definite judgment; that u.s.
that the action will at some time ter
ribly matter to the helper and the

liquid diet find 'Grape-Nuts and albu,

This recipe is my own idea and Is
made as follows: Soak teaspoonful
OF Grape-Nuts In glass OF water for
an hour, strain and serve with the

of fruit juice for iiavouring. This af.

MY husband is a physician and he
uses Grape-Nuts himself and orders IL

REASONS FOR THE

haitian Island with New Jersey, have every reason to rejoice.
1t is the contamination OF a great project undertaken many years
ago and attended by failure and bankruptcy until the McAdoo
company took hold OF it, financed it with $40, 100000 of capital
and built two sets Of tunnels instead of one. The tunnels con-
structed by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company belong to the
trans. sentimental railroad system. The McAdoo tunnels take
the place OF the ferries and are in their character local to the two
States, practically making Manhattan a part Of New Jersey
mainland and abolishing the wide barrier of the river which the
tunnels conquer. Every New Jersey municipality in the metro.
politan area can share the qualification and feicitation OF Jersey
City and Hoboken for all will be benefited by the new great
outlet from overcrowdSd Manhattan. Through these tunnels
will come capital as we'll as population, for one follows the other
and New Jersey development needs much outside capital We
are now unprepared for a great influx OF new population, but
there is plenty OF land for dwellings and factories and New York
capital will help to fill the void. The enterprise that built UP
Brooklyn and Harlem and the Bronx will turn westward to New
Jersey and cover our waste spaces with substantial apartments.
New Jersey invites both population and capital and they will
come in a way to make wonderful transformation before the next
State census is taken.

One is the near need. of the subjuga-

A continent more fertile than all North
America, capable of supporting 500, 000,-
900 people, truly ideal in the greater
portion of its area, it stands dangerous
and deadly IN its miasmas and its
fevers solely because the tiniest of in
sects await with their p~oisons the
pioneers who must blaze the way of
progress. The nations will attend to
Africa.
The other lies at our very doors and
is part Of us. The territory along the
New Jersey coast, embracing Immense
populations ard Investments all the
way from Cape May straight OF to New
York city itself, is being recovered from
the more mild malarias and ans

A TARIFF CHANGE
WROUGHT BY TAFT

bill as passed by the Senate and the bill that will go to the Prest
dent for his signature. A few words from President Taft OH Sat
urday made the change. Dsclaiming for the Republican party a
general policy in favorof raw materials, he asserted that the party
pledge was fora revision downward, and it would be in line with
that declaration to make certain classes OF raw material free or re-
duce the duties on them. Everybody knows what the most import
ant raw materials are-coal.# iron, oil, lumber and hides. These are
in no sense manufactured. They are the products of nature, and
they enter into all kinds OF manufacture that employ labor aud
produce the necessaries OF the people. Remove the tax ON these
materials and the tax on many finished products can be reduced
for the benefit OF the consumer and without injury to American
Industry. Between the House and Senate schedules there is a
gulf to be bridged. Not by the compromises craftiy provided for
by Senator Aldrich, but by concessions to the people. Only the
President, welding the potent power of veto, can wiring from the
Senate majority the kind of revision the Republican party is
pledged to and the people want, and it gives a new and cheerful
hope to the country that the bill the conference committee will re-
port will be one the President can conscientiously sign.
