In getting bulls from other herds
be sure that they are healthy. 1t is
especially important to avoid conta-

THE DOCTORS WIFE
Agrees With Him About Food.

A trained nurse says: "In the prac-
tice of my profession I have found so
many points in favor Of Grape-Nuts
food that I unhesitatingly recommend
it to all my patients.
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 l find Grape-Nuts and albumen
water very nourishing and refreshing.
This recipe is my own IDA 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 1avouring. This af-
fords great deal Of nourishr,ent that
even the weakest stomach can assimi-
late without any distress.

many times for his patients.

WELCOMED" and then Blossy drawing
her two hands from behind her back.
One held a huge blue cup, the other
the saucer to match. She placed the
cup In the saucer and held 1t out to
Abraham. He trudged down the few
steps to receive it, unashamed now OF
the tears that coursed down his
cheeks. With a burst of delight he
perceived that 1t was a mustache cup,
such as the one he had always used
at home until 1t had been set for safe
keeping on the top pantry shelf to
await the auction, where it had
brought the price of eleven cents with
half paper Of tacks thrown in.
And now as the tears cleared away
he saw. also, what Angy's eyes had al
ready noted, the inscription in warm
crimson letters on the shining blue
side Of the cup, ITO Our Beloved

do no more than humble as he took

Angy. "bewtifull Amt 1t, galsf"
Every old lady nodded her head

Angy felt that she had been made MI
raculously young by the birth of this
new Abrahem-almost as II at last
she had been given the son for whom
in her youth she had prayed with i'm

But Abe protested that he could not

chair and surveyed the family: on

Angy, Miss Abigail indulging In what

Aunt Nancy keenly Watching him from

other sisters "betwixt an between"
He caught Mrs. Homan's eye where
she stood in the doorway leading into
the kitchen, and remarked pleasantly:

There was a moments silence; then
q little gasp first from one and then
from another of the group. Every one
looked at Mrs. Homan, and from Mrs.
Homan to Sarah Jane. Mrs. Homan
tightened her grip on the pancake
turner; Sarah Jane uneasily moved
her long fingers within reach of a
sturdy little red-and-white pepper pot.
Another moment passed, in which tho

an electric storm. Then Blossy spoke
