RACE PRIDE.

Every true American is proud of his country, it's flag, it's institutions. It would be idle to dispute that all European nations are proud of their institutions, be they good or ill.
 But there is one characteristic be- tween American and European civi- lixation that differs exceedingly, and that is racial pride. There are peo- ple in our nation who are Americans first and secondly take pride in the race whence they sprung. But there are so many races represented in America, and the melting pot has not been boiling long enough to produce one distinct race, that whatever racial pride there is in the nation as to individuals must necessarily be submerged in the greater demand or national unity.
 In Europe, however, racial prlde goes with nationality, except possibly in Austl Hungary. It is this intense racial pride. developing tendency toward exaggerated racial feeling aud national entities, that is one of the prime causes of the great war.
 Specific reasons for the war are hard to find; but the racial pride that has been nurtured by diplomats politicians and the people themselves formed a large part of the finder thai was set afire by the assassination al Sarejevo.
 Each race thinks itself, and not the ether is entitled to greater place in the sun; each race thinks ltsel' and not the other, has all the eie' ments of greatness and must have better world opportunity for expres- sion; each race theoretically believes in the brotherhood of man, but lu practice discards it.
 We must guard against such de- vclopment in America We must De- lieye in the brotherhood of man ana practice it, in our national dealings and also individually. It is the greatest guarantee or peace.

There's no need to get excited over the announcement that an American ship was destroyed by the German commerce-destroyer Prince Eitel Friedrich. The German commander was wrong, but he took of the Frey's crew before he dynamited the ship, which was carrying wheat to Brit ish port. Germany will probably be called upon to pay for the ship and it's cargo, and likely do so. Nothing was done that cannot be remedled' No lives were lost. Whats the use of talking of sacrificing lives when diplomacy can accomplish the same result? {i;

 It would enable the Russians to send troops to western Europe or the English and French to send troops to the western theatre of war.
 The forcing of the Dardanelles Is of peculiar interest to the people Of the United States, for it would mean lower prices for wheat and proba- bly, a normal price for flour.

stunted for lack of room.
For q large porch, with plenty of

Other flowers suitable for boxes are
pinks. pansies and marigolds and low

When the plants, raised from seeds,
are an inch high, thin them out to

The box should be watered daily,
morning and evening. especially if it
is exposed to the sun all day.
All the hardy towering shrubs may
be started by roofing cuttings, and
this should be done early this month
that the plants may be well estab-
lished by cold weather. Such plants

1T is delicate and pleasing to the
palate (an 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 glass of water for
an hour strain and serve with the
beaten white Of an egg and spoonful
of fruit juice for davouring. This af.
eords a great deal of nourishment that
even the weakest stomach can assimi-
late without any distress.
my husband is physician and he
uses Grape-Nuts himself and orders it
many times for his patients.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound

was to make it at home, which is

sy Mrs. c. w. JENNINGS.

During the early spring months j
emptied the wood ashes, from the
cooking stove, over the ground that
intended to use for flowers. When
the time for planting came, / had a
trench dug, which half filled with
ashes. Over the ashes / threw an
inch or two OF soil. and planted sweet
peas. covering them ono inch. In a
few days they were up and such vines
as had! When they were six inches
high i laid cedar brush along one side
of them. They grew five and six feet
tall and gave quantities of lovely fiow-
ers all sumner
fertiiized them once a week with
soap suds, and hoed them three or
four times during the season, each
time drawing the dirt about them, but
never making a narrow ridge for
them to grow in. When this is done
they dry out too much, and do not
bloom well.
Nasturtiums, also, shared the same
treatment except that I did not give
them SO many ashes. kept the flow

and the nasturtiums Soap-suds is the
