"'But everybody ents them," defended Selina. "Yes:an d nearly everybody has trou bles that are caused by a badly treated stomach.

His stontaci: stands it just as long as possible, ther rebels again. Most of the materials of which mince and other kinds of pit are made are healthful when taken ii their simple, natural state. It is th complicated nature of the dish thai makes it a menace to health. Fat i: a valuable food when taken simple, ir the form of butter, cream, olive oil and meat, but in pie crust the starch grains siurrounded with fat and treated to high temperature, forms an acid whicl renders it impervious to the gastr'it juices of the stomach and hinders th' digestion of wholesome food whicl may be taker. at the same time. Thi v'ery condiments which :preserv'e mince meat in the jar also preserve it fron: digestion in the stomach. "Eggs, butter and sugar are valuabit food, yet combined in cakes ant cookies, their food value does not equa the demand made upon the system foi their proper digestion. These facts have been ascertained by chemists ant physicians who have made a study o: hygienic food values. I believe th< time is coming when peCople every where will better understand how t< live correctly. At present there at nmany who would rather suffer contin unusly with indigestion, headache neuralgia and kindred ills produced by wrong eating tihan to give up their' ac customed diet.

"For dinner," wenlt oni Mrs. Dale. "I would have vegetables, either potatoes or rice, and at least one green "ege table. such as peas, string beans. beets, carrots, tomatoes, sweet corn and spring greens always in their sea son. The custom of our grandmothers; of having a boiled, or garden dinner, as it was sometimes called. once a week, when every vegetable the farm afford ed was cooked and served at one meal and the family dined to satiety and then lived on potatoes and fried p'ark for a week afterward. miay well be done away with. One oth~er vegetable than potatoes, if not more, should ap pear. nicely cooked and daintily served. on every table at least once a day. Salads of lettuce. cress. chicory. eeery cabbage, radishes or onions should lie used daily. These vegetables act like a boom to the system. keeping it clear. As to meat, preferably beef. muttom and poultry should be used. eithet broiled, roasted or steweth Salt porl; is most healthful boiled. "Eggs and cream may well take the place of meat. With this meal there should be served a coarse bread, such as corncake or biscuits. made fronm whole wheat or rye.

Christ's Life. His Summary of Con duct. The Sermon on the Mount. Matt. Chapters 5, 6 and 7. The Sermon on the Yoint is the proclamation of she Kingdom. This sermon is an appeal to the heart, out of wl.irh alone a:e tne issues ot life. It cannot be under. uod by the head alone. The sermon calls for inner religion. and s, orns the mere externals. No amount of mere forms wouid meet one of its requirements. The sermon not only requires re sults, it furnishes power. Were it not for that, it would be the most dis -ouraging piece of writing in the world, instead of the most encourag ing. Suggestions. "But I say unto you"-that is Christ's word; and whatever men, or passion, or self-interest say must be forgotten. This life is given us to lay up treas ure in heaven; our hearts will always follow what they really treasure. The habit of judging others harsh ly is one of the most dangerous of ha bits. because we are so sure to pride ourselves upon it. We are to do to men, not what we would foolishly like to have them do to us, but what we should be wise in desiring for ourselves. Hearing Christ's sayings and doing them are as inseparable as a voice and an echo. The Sermon on the Mount is the b)usiness manual of "our Father's bus iness." The Beatitudes are a list of the world's richest goia mines. The precepts of this sermon are like the seven primary colors, capable of painting all beautiful lives that can be lived. Questions. Am I trying to follow the pattern set me in the Mount? How often do I read the Sermon on the M\ount? Would it not be a great advantage to commit the sermon to memory? EPWORTH LEAGUE LESSONS SUNDAY, MARCH 18. The Glory of Christlike Lives.-John 17. 22-24. Our Lord never forgot that his work was to reveal God to men. The temp ations of his life were invitations to ssert himself, to separate himself from his relations to the Father and to be self-sufficient. But because he was true to his high mission he .came to is own highest self-expression to the glory of the supreme sacriice, and to the glory of its supreme and eternal success. It is hard for us to learn the les son. 'Ie world about us is full of temptations which urge us to free our selves from any subjection to God, and invite us to be our masters. We have gone far toward, complete victory ver these temptations when we have given ourselves to Jesus Christ and have been adopted into God's family. Thenceforth we accept tiie truth that we should not live unto ourselves, but unto Him who died for us and rose agamn. But even after conversion it is not easy to give ourselves wholly to the work of showing forth Christ to the world. We have need to learn, by every possible teaching and by every possible experience, that as Christ's fullest glory lay in his being a com plete expression-*'-the Word"-of God so our highest blessedness is in being Christlike. Only thus can we do our whole duty to ourselves. Only thus can we secure any recognition of our claims to God's favor. It is one of the innumerable proofs that Jesus sound ed the depths of a proround truth when he said, "He that loveth his life shafl lose it, and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal." There is no permanence, no prommn eice, no power worth havig that, is not related to Jesus Christ. We can afford to throw away all other dis tinctions for the sake of being true disciples of Jesus Christ. it is glory enough, and without it no other glory is worth anything. gAM'S IIORN BLASTS. - HAT the Bible is L inspired from 'heaven is evinced by the way it in -spires humanity.
