as dairy foods are called for, and in using good judgment and a scientifically prepared menu, good health is assured, as well as a desire for mental development encouraged. We should remember that with the close of our college studies or the absolving from the university, we have by no means reached the end of mental possibilities. If anything, we only just begin to comprehend that there is no end unto higher attainments, and that nature expects of a normally developing mind to reach farther into the domains of mental operations and answer the purpose of life, as mapped out by a Higher Intelligence. We must learn to consider food as the vital factor for laying a foundation for a newer life. We need more of the vitamin and proteinladen foods, but in quantities not to exceed the mark of childhood days. Tuberous foods are to be used in quantities corresponding to the temperaments; a great deal of greens are recessary, to continuously flush the alimentaries. Milk should not be used except it be buttermilk, fermilac or clabber. Butter, too, has to be discarded, especially where there is a tendency toward catarrh, be it throat, nasal or stomach catarrh. In cases of partial impotency or kidney affections it is well to discard the use of eggs, except the white of eggs, which may be used to great advantage, especially where there is a tendency toward indigestion. All the brands

of cheese have to be considered so as to select the kind most in harmony with one's temperament. It is quite safe though to always decide upon a ripe cheese, readily dissolving when heated. Do not use cheese with pulses, neither have any eggs with a meal, when pulses are served. Furthermore, do bear in mind that cheese must not be used with the meal that has eggs on the menu. Neither use butter with proteid foods.

In middle age the diet has to undergo frequent changes, and the milk-cure should be resorted to at springtime. Dried pulses and baked vegetables, more dried fruits and less cereals, except barley, rice and tapioca. Less fried dishes are needed. The system calls for extremes. Plenty of juicy fruits during fruit season, and lots of dried fruits, during the non-productive time. In fact, dried apricots, peaches and apples will serve every need. More spices are called for and frequent indulgence in herb teas. By so living the process of regeneration continues in an unbroken order, and whatever the temperament may be, we shall have the assurance of good health as well as progress, so needful during a span of life, so as to have the satisfaction of not only keeping in step with the times, but the assurance of advancement toward eternity.

In advanced years we need to use caution and remember that we require very little food, but all the more tonics and eliminators

To be read carefully and in the light of our tumultuous days, reading between the lines in search of the spirit revealing an interpretation.

Predestination, paradise, and hell,

I sought to find beyond the skies, pell-mell. When spoke the still small voice to me: "My friend,

In thee are kismet, paradise, and hell."

This vault of Heaven under which we move,
Is like a magic lantern, this to prove:
The Sun there is the flame; the World—
the lamp,

And we the figures who revolving move.

We are but common puppets of the Game, While Fate plays on life's Chess-board without shame.

And we are moved-just so and so, then
Placed in a dead box is our weary frame.

small forests, and an occasional red roof peeps forth through the trees. Our land is sandy soil, and we work hard, hoeing and watering during the dry season, but our labors are amply rewarded. For example: we sowed 1 pound of peas and picked therefrom 65 pounds, with 7 pecks still unpicked. Where we placed two potatoes into the ground, thirty-one spuds appeared and nowhere less than sixteen. Poppy seeds were also sown to obtain flowers, as well as oil.

We are grateful for this great revelation and message which has taught us the ways of life. The members of the Lodge wish to be remembered; one and all conveying their covenant of allegiance to the great cause. -L. Graeve.

THE OLD AND THE NEW

The Old Year fades in natal sight,

As visions of the Dawn o'ercome the night;
That made the past both bright and sad-
But never quite fulfilled the purpose, glad;
That turns the world to golden light,

And maketh free, the Liberty of Right.

Now filled with love and sacred peace,

My heart knows naught but freedom, sweet release; And wings its flight to better days,

Certain of life and God's eternal ways;

For time and test has proved Him true

Blessing New Birth, that shall fore'er endue.

grounds. Meanwhile, if the California idea should materialize it is always possible to profitably dispose of our property. We would only make the change by consent.

As building is expensive at present, we have erected but a temporary small cement house with a loft-used as a kitchen, and often serving as sleeping quarters. Later it is to be converted into a stable for goats and chickens.

Digging, planting and weeding are found to be very beneficial, especially where a person is inclined to corpulency.

From our city home to this newly acquired possession it is only three-quarters of an hour's ride by electric railway. For this reason it is considered an excellent Sunday outing place for our Society members, who are all heartily welcome, each bringing their own refreshments and cooking their own coffee. We average about fifteen every Sunday. When the six chairs and two rockers do not suffice we resort to the ground, of which there is an acre of meadow. The children delight in walking barefoot and wading in the stream, which is free from stones; just fine white sand graces its bottom. The adults also participate in this pastime pleasure and are merry and happy with the youngsters.

Perfect tranquility envelops the landscape, and the surrounding country is magnificent, and we behold vast meadows encircling us;
