True PRAYER.

Prayer, to be real, must be sincere.
There is a prayer that is sin to a man
(Psa. 6:18). Such prayer is prayer
that is not honest; that is offered for
things we do not truly desire or will
not faithfully receive; that is used as
a cover of ~selishness or indolence;
that is of the lips only, and not of the
heart. The prayer that God will an
swer must. be prayer from the heart.
In all thy prayers" says John Bun
yam, 'let thy heart be without words,
rather than thy words without heart"
When We have put our hearts into our
prayers we shall have no trouble in
putting them into our work. AS Cur
nall said, ""Tis harder to get the great
bell up than to ring it when raised.
And so it is with our hearts-harder
work we shall find it to prepare them
for duty than to perform it when they
are got into some order"

THE DOCTORS WIFE
Agrees With Him About Food.


A trained nurse says: I'm the prac-
tice of my profession l have found so
many points in favor of Grape-Nuts
food that unh~esitatingly recommend
it to all my patients.
1T is delicate and pleasing to the
palate Ian essential in food for the
sick) and al 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 a spoonful
of fruit juice for %fiavouring. This af-
fords a great deal of nourishment that
even the weakest stomach can assimi-
late without any distress.
my husband is a physician n he
uses Grape-Nuts himself and orders 1t
many times for his patients.
Personally l regard a dish of Grape
Nuts with fresh or stewed fruit as the
ideal breakfast for anyone-well or
sick"
In stomach trouble, nervous prostra-
ton, etc, a Today trial of Grape-Nuts
win usually work wonders toward
nourishing and rebuilding and in this
way end the trouble. Name given by

sAcHET FOR THE HATBox
Bunch Of Tiny Roses Is One Of the
Newest Ideas for the Seeming
of Lingerie.

An unusual sachet, which would be
very attractive for the hatbox or to
keep among the lingerie, is a bunch
of tiny rosebuds, such as are used for
decorating boudoir caps, negligees,
etc. The heart of each rose. before
being coiled, should be filed with
ones favorite sachet. In a cluster of
eight or nine roses, the sachet will
be sufficient to impart a delicate fra
GRANGE.
A sachet Of this sort is extremely
dainty and the rosebuds are the most
easily manipulated of all the ribbon
flowers. The ribbon should be an inch
wide and sewed into a little pocket at
one end Of the sachet, then wrapped
around and around until the rosebud
is the correct size. Add a few leaves,
cut from green velvet, and you will
have one of the loveliest of sachets.
