what small danger there is of a man really starving to death for want of material food.

Roger Crab wagered £1,000 that he would live for a year on three shillings and sixpence, and won his bet. Indeed, he more than won it, for at the end of the twelve months he had managed to save threepence out of his "housekeeping money," his expenditure for food, therefore, averaging just over three farthings a week. For this sum even the cheapest of ordinary vegetarian diet-such as lentils, for instance, was quite out of the question, and he had to content himself wiih nettle soup, thickened with acorn flour, pudding made of bran, and turnip leaves chopped together, and so forth. Yet on this diet Crab not only survived, but actually gained some few pounds in weight; while as for his general health, he declared that he had never felt better than he did at the termination of his self-imposed ordeal.— English Exchange.

COARSE BREAD.

ADELINE J. NOETHEN.

Three cups of graham flour, 3 cups bran, 2 small teaspoonfuls of salt, 3 teaspoonfuls of sugar; stir with milk. The salt can be left out if desired. I work and knead the bread very well on a board sprinkled with white flour, then I bake it in a slow oven about two hours so that it is well baked; besides I like a good, hard, crispy crust.

[We believe that water can be stirred in instead of milk, and the result will be all right.-ED.}

BARLEY SOUP.

Soak 4 tablespoonfuls of Scotch barley in cold water for an hour. Put it in a stew pan with about a pint of cold water. Stew it gently on a moderate fire, and add 3 good-sized onions, 2 small turnips, 1 carrot, and a head of celery. Season to taste with salt, and when quite soft add a tablespoonful of mushroom ketchup.

SPAGHETTI WITH TOMATOES.

Stew I pt. of tomatoes with 1 small onion chopped fine, and season with oil, salt and a little sugar. Cook 1⁄2 pack. age spaghetti in salt water till done. Then add tomatoes, and season with tomato ketchup and Worcestershire sauce. Bake about 30 minutes.

W. Walter is improving nicely, and I think will soon be well without further treatments. I am very grateful for what you have done for him, and for the_understanding that has come through the demonstration.-J. D.

WEE WISDOM began its eleventh year with the August number. It is improved in every way. The contents for January are: "How the Great Dipper Got Up in the Skies," poem; The Story of Stella," by Mary B. De Witt; "The Cricket," by Lucy C. Kellerhouse, with three original illustrations by E. A. Filleau; "Golden Hair and Blue Eyes," by Frances Griffith; "How Uncle Dave Made an Encyclopedia;" The Youth's Department (made up of many items); Epistles, (letters from little people); ́ ́ What Christmas Brings," poem, Alpha Orr; "The New Year," by Bothilda B. Curtz; "Pretty Leaves, a musical composition by Prof. Moore and Jessie I. Sloan; "Goosie Gander," illustrated; "The Gospel of Nature Study," by Lida H. Hardy, illustrated; "Morning," Chatena's Talk with Little Sunshiners; "God's Temple," by Edna; WEE WISDOM'S Way of Healing, Healing Statements and Testimonial; Ye Editor's Sanctum; New Year Poem by Mamie, and a New Year's Pillow Verse.

"What an interesting little magazine for children," said a lady in our hearing, and she had not seen this January number, which is by far the best that has ever been issued. If you are trying to raise your children in Truth, WEE WISDOM will help you; in fact, we do not see how any mother who wants her children trained in right thought, can do without it.

It is still at the very low price of 50 cents per year.

UNITY TRACT SOCIETY.

THE WOMAN'S AUXILIARY.

At the annual meeting of the Woman's Auxiliary, held Friday, Dec. 28, 1906, the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, Mrs. S. Mayer; Vice President, Mrs. A. M. Moore; Secretary, Mrs. H. R. Walmsley; Treasurer, Mrs. Le Roy Moore.

The Auxiliary is a flourishing and enterprising organization and has done much in support of the work of the Unity Society of Practical Christianity. In April, 1906, the treasurer turned over to the building committee $400.00 for the furnishing of the auditorium, and at the annual meeting just held, the additional sum of $150.00 was given for the same purpose. This is in addition to paying for a piano for the building, carpeting the auditorium, and other things for the benefit of Unity Society. There is a bright outlook for the Woman's Auxiliary in the year just opening. —J. H. C.

Every patient under treatment by the Society of Silent Unity should be a subscriber to UNITY. Understanding of the Divine Law of existence is the savior from disease, and this is plainly taught in UNITY.

We have for years been proclaiming the necessity of a rubber stamp, or other printed address, on every letter. The New York Sun recently devoted a column to the subject. It would certainly help greatly to make smooth correspondence between man and man, and be a source of ready identification. Here is what I use:

Allow me to say that "Lessons in Truth" have done more to make New Thought clear to me than anything I have ever read. I am not th esame person I was six months ago. This is the fifth copy I have sent for to distribute among my friends and all have been just as much helped as I have.

A TESTIMONIAL FOR WEE WISDOM'S WAY.

UNITY TRACT SOCIETY, Kansas City, Mo. DEAR FRIENDS -I wish to call your attention to the importance of your emphasizing the value of that great little book, "Wee Wisdom's Way," to beginners in this study of the true teachings of the Bible and of Jesus Christ. And I will not limit it to beginners, but will say that everyone should read this book, for it is one of the truly inspired expressions of an illumined soul. Then the cost is so small that everyone, though still bound by the false beliefs of lack, can feel that they can have it. And then, again: It is a story of real healing, true in every respect, thus all the more valuable. Please push it, and I know that everyone who reads it, will bless and thank you for it. I recommend it to everybody, and everybody gets wonderful light from it. Sincerely yours,

- C. A. S.

A good beginning has been made in establishing branches of the Unity Library in various parts of the United States. We are in correspondence with people in Canada also, and hope to start Unity Libraries in every country of the world before we are through. Here is an opportunity afforded all those who are interested in the spread of the Gospel of Truth, to place literature in the hands of friends and neighbors which will enable them to attain health, peace and prosperity. This may be done with a very small outlay of time or money. Write Jennie H. Croft, Librarian, and you will be given full information concerning the plan.

The following Libraries are now established:

Unity Emblem Pin.

THIS is an engraving of the beautiful Unity Emblem Pin. It cannot give you very much of an idea of its beauty, other than its exact size and design. The wings and lines on the world and the word UNITY are in roll-plate gold, the face of the world being in light pink-tinted enamel and the poles in red enamel. You jerweler would charge you at least $2.50 for one like it, but as we contracted for a thousand at a time we can send you one for $1.00 and still have a little profit for the benefit of the Building Fund. pin is suitable for either lady or gentleman.

Price, $1.00.
