UNSELFISH LOVE.

The purest and most unselfsh
love, of course, is divine love
Cod love for His children. saved
and unsaved, rebelliOus sinners,
aliens who hate Him while He
loved them so that He sacrificed
His Son to save them-but that
love is incomprehensihle to finite
minds.
However, there is a human
love which we can understand TO
some extent. that reflects the dl-
vine love and approaches as near
il as ANYTHING human can. It is
the mothers love for her off
spring, and the more wayWard
and rebellious the stronger the
affection; and herein is the near
est approach to divine love. 1t
is unselfsh and self sacrificing de
votion to one who often shows no
appreciation for it whatever
Mother love never waits for
manifestation of reciprocal love,
though it is appreciated. The
natural mother will sacrifice her
life for her child unhesitatingly.
Such mothers are devoted, affec-
tionate wives, devoting all inter-
est of her own to that Of her com
panion, whether it is appreciated
or not. but it gladdens her hear.
and liohtens her burdens to
know that it is.

THE EGGLESS CAKE.

She lays billions eggs or so
for the human race each year,
and, under world W2r condi-

to consumers had 2pproachcd a
dollar in some parts OF the Unit
ed States, and has reached the
prohibitive price of two dallars
or more in the 'belligerent colm-

Therefore when the high cost

the best known baking powder
company in the world that it has
evolved a ready and practical
way for the housewife to save,
in the aggregate, many millions
Of dollars in household expenses
through the use of more Royal
Baking Powder and less eggs.
Months Of experimenting have
elected large number of recipes
for the marking Of home baked
products with fewer eggs, and
these recipes are being distributed
gratis. It is claimed that they
prove conclusiyely that the bak-
ing powder saves eggs-ln some
cakes about half the cost Of the
cake is saved. In recipes calling
for the use Of eggs, the number
can be reduced and excellent re-
