THE DOCTORS WIFE

1T Is delicate and pleasing to the
palate ian 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 impossible.
For fever patients or those on liquid
diet / find Grape-Nuts and albumen
water very nourishing and refreshing.
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 spoonful
Of fruit juice for flavouring. This az
fords a great deal Of nourishment that
even the weakest stomach can assimi-

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

Nuts with fresh or stewed fruit as the
ideal breakfast for anyone-well or

A cheerful, optimistic mind is sort
of a prism which brings the rainbow
colors out of things which are invisible
to the pessimist.
The prism does not make the colors
in the spectrum. They are everywhere
in the light before our eyes. Our light
is made up Of all the different colors
of the rainbow. The prism merely sep
arates them and makes them visible to
the eye.
The ability to radiate sunshine is a
greater power than beauty or wealth.
If you would do the maximum of which
you are capable, keep the mind filled
with sunshine, with beauty and truth,
with cheerful, uplifting thoughts. Bury
everything that makes you unhappy
and discordant, everything that
cramps your freedom. that worries
you, before it buries you.
Take joy with you; cling to 1T, no
matter where you go or what you do.
1t Is your lubricating oil which would
prevent the jars, the discords. and
shut out the sorrows of life.
True religion is full of hope, sun

is joyous and glad and beautiful. There
is no Christianity in the ugly, the dis
cordant, the sad. The religion which
Christ taught was bright, cheerful and
beautiful. The sunshine, the lilies OF

hills, the valleys, the trees, the noun
tains, the brooks-all things beauti-
ful-were in his teaching. There was
no cold, dry theology in it. 1t was
just happy Christianity!
Refuse to be gloomy. Cheer up! Get
your mind off your troubles. Do not
think about them. Think of the bright
things in life. Think gratefully of the
good things you have. Wake up, and
be cheerful

THE WAR FLY

| HROM the war zone there
LII come various reports that
take all glamour and
glory from the strife. There
is a Sordid side to the struggle
and one aspect is mentioned
by DR.. Raphael Blanchard Of
the University of Paris. He
said:
The immediate physical
necessities of the war have
caused US to overlook the mo-
mentary Surcease of that other
danger that threatens us pos
sibly with as great havoc as
shot and she'll mean the
common fly. No one can have
a conception of the myriads Of
flies that infest trench and
field in the active war zone.
The soldier cannot bring q
mOrsel of food to his lips with
out combating hosts of flies
that forcibly dispute its pos.
session. 1t is not an uncom-
mon sight to witness heaps of
dead and wounded covered
with a thick pail of flies and
the buzz of millions of wings
not infrequently attract the at
tention of ambulance attend
ants to an overlooked batch OF
wounded soldiers in their
road"
The doctor ascribes many
mysterious cases of typhus and
typhoid that have puzzled the
profession to the agency of the
fly; and he has aroused gen
eral interest in the war against
it; not only in cities and vii
lagos, but On the fighting line.
For months he has attempted
to localize the fly around the
stables, but found that the
blood-soaked ground and 9th
er untoward conditions made .
his efforts nugatOry.

conditions many of the parti-
san newspapers that formerly

to fostering and magnifying
criticisms Of the steps contem-
plated. Their evident purpose
Is to raise all the trouble they
can with a view to preventing
action from being taken. If
successful the upShot of their
efforts will be to leave the Uni
ted States in a position recent
ly designated by Congressman

THE KEY TO THE STU
ALTON

TIT is essential of course
that good men be elected
to the council but the first
consideration in the attainment
of good city government is to
elect a competent and honor
able man as mayor.
The mayor is the key to the
whole municipal situation.
His position gives him pres
tige that makes him very pow
erful with the council. He
has the committee appoint
ments and he alone has the
power to nominate members
of the various boards and to
the various subordinate positi-
ons. The mayor is generally
able to shape affairs much as
he wishes and usually he does
so.
Let those who are interested
in Pendleton's civic affairs
give close heed to the mayor
atty contest. 1t is the place
where results may be obtained
most effectively. 4 clean and
straight forward mayor will
give an administration reflect
ing his own character and pur-
poses. An unscrupulouS may
or will quickly bring about a

his personal traits.
