The tinkering at the White House has been resumed, and will be continued until the president and his family re-. turn in the fall There are to be no im- portant changes. The work will be in the way of finishing the recent alter ations. Though the mansion has been occupied only. seven months since the changes were made, it is to be reno vated from top to bottom and given g. fresh coat of paint throughout.
 The executive offices will also be re- painted and an effort made to kill the odor which the walls have given off from the day the offices were occupied. The disagreeable odor is stronger in the cabinet room and the presidents pri- vate office than anywhere else, and it has been annoying to MT. Roosevelt The walls have been covered with a liquid preparation which it is hoped will clear the air. The odor Is said to have resulted from the fact that the mortar in the walls was not given time to dry thoroughly. Whatever the cause. MT. Roosevelt is tired of it. and super human effort will be made to drive it away before he returns.-Wa ashingtom Special to New York World.

 FEED THEM

The Way to Build up Wasting Children.
 When babies begin to waste away and fail there is but one thing to do and that is find the proper food. .
 Physicians have never yet found a stomach, young or old, that would not digest the scientific food Grape-Nuts, for Grape Nuts is the most perfect food form in the world and will nourish and build up any stomach no matter how weak. @t
 A Washington lady says: T had lost two children from narasmus, or vast ing awy. before my little boy Maurice came and when I found nothing agreed with him in the way of food you can imagine how I felt. c. ~%
 NO food seemed to satisfy his little stomach as he would bite his fingers and appeared to be slowly starving to death, crying all the time. It was pitt able to see and hear him when he was seven months old certainly thought I < would lose him. It was then my sister begged me to try Grape-Nuts, which I did, using three tablespoonfuls covered with a half pint of sealded milk and a half pint of boiling water which after standing awhile was strained and fed from the bottle.
 From this time baby began to inn prove and he took absolutely no other food until weaned him from the , bottle. He could not take milk in any form except on Grape-Nuts He is now in good health, strong and sturdy and nearly three years old and I am very proud indeed of my Grape-Nuts boy Name given by Postum, Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich. eE ~-

GOOD BREAD

And Plenty of It--A Few Points About the Mohican Store.
 Away back'in the year of Our Lord in 1S45 there were 3,515 names in the New Haven city directory. Assuming that this list included 2,272 heads of families and 1.243 unmarried adults. it will be seen that if the Mohican company was established in this city at that time and doing business on it's present large scale it could furnish one loaf of bread day to every adult inhabitant of the city. This fact put in concrete form so that ''he who runs may read" the great extent of the baking done at the Mohic- an. For last Friday the Mohican com pany turned out S,756 loaves of bread,

Deafness Can Not Be Cured.

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets intiamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.
