read her essay when a swallow flew in

take a hopeful view of the situation by

not attended by fatal results, but that
it was revived and went on its way

CHANGED HUSBAND.

Wife Made Wise Change in Food.
Change of diet is the only way to

A woman says:
my husband had dyspepsia when
we were married and had suffered
from it for several years. It was al
most impossible to find anything he
could eat without bad results.
Il thought this was largely due to
the use Of coffee and persuaded him
to discontinue it. He did so, and be-
gan to drink Postum Food Coffee The
change did him good from the begin
ming, his digestion improved; he suf
fered much less from his nervousness,
and when he added Grape-Nuts food
to his diet he was soon entirely cured.
MY friend Mrs. Of
Vicksburg (my former home) had be-
come q nervous wreck also from -dys-
pepsia. Medic mes had e. effect,
neither did travel help her. On my
last visit home some months ago,
persuaded her to use GrapeNuts food.
She was in despair and consented
She stuck to it until it restored her
health SO completely that she is now
the most enthusiastic friend of Grape
Nuts that I ever knew. She eats it
with cream or dry, just as it comes
from the package-keeps it in her
room and eats it whenever she feels
like it,
I I began eating Grape-Nuts food,
myself when my baby was 2 months
old. and / don't know what [ should
have done without it. My appetite
was gone, | was weak and nervous
and afforded but very little nourish-
ment for the child The Grape-Nuts
food, of which I soon grew very fond,
speedily set all this right again, and
the baby grew healthful, rosy and
beautiful as a mother could wish He
is 2 years old now and eats Grape
Nuts food himself. [ wish every tired

Grape Nuts would do her."

NEW PAINT.
Has Many Valuable Properties and May
Supersede White Lead

If one-half that is claimed for the new
German paint is true, the white lead
base of paints so universally used is
doomed. The new pigment is obtained
from a burnt limestone which contains a
considerable proportion, 20 per cent. or
more, of magnesia, the best combination
being that found naturally in dolomitic
carbon and fired until all the carbon is
consumed. Among the desirable fea-
lures claimed for the new paint are fine
ness and smoothness of surface, covering
power, permanence and cheapness; quick
drying qualities without addition of
driers, freedom from yellowing with age,
unaffected by ammonia, sulphureted by
drogen or sulphurous acid, and a natural
hardening or enameling after a few
months. Greatest of all, it may be
washed without destroying its original
smoothness. Coloring pigments may be
used in conjunction with it, as in the
case of white lead.-Philadelphia Rec

Seeks Market for Art Products.


Mr.. Hibbard's mission to this country
is to find a market for the product Of the
art schools of Japan which are conduct
ed by the government and turn out some
Of the most proficient artists i'll the
world.
AS far as news of the conflict with
Russia is concerned Mr.. Hubbard stated
that more is known outside of Japan
than inside, as the censorship is most
rigid. Some of the most important bat
ties of the war have not been made pub
lie in that country until after every de-
tail was known to other parts Of the
world, and in some cases two weeks
have elapsed before the Japanese censor
saw fit to enlighten his cOuntrymen as
to the dOings of their army and navy.
At present the situation in Japan is
hard to analyze, as different factions
clamor for different modes of carrying
OH the conflict, while q large percentage
of the people desire immediate peace
The native newspapers are the chief ex-
ponents of the continuation of the war,
and some are demanding that the entire
holdings of Russia in the Orient be
named as the price of settlement. The
foreign element, however, is a unit in
favor of peace, while the government at
Toxic continues its own policy and the
rest of the country does it's bidding with
out murmur.
Mr.. Hlbbard's Experience.
AS an instructor in the schools of the
country Mr.. Hubbard is compelled to do
considerable travelling, and during the
last year has made over 500 miles on
foot and by means of a bicycle. These
trips have taken him into parts of the
country never before reached by for
eigners and he states that in all these
travels he has always met with the
greatest consideration. The chief cues
ton invariably put to him on arriving at
q new location was whether he was
Chinaman or an American. Not once,
saws Mr.. Hibbard was he mistaken for
amy other nationality.
It is Mr. Hibbard's firm belief that in
a few years English will be the leading
language of Japan, as 1T is now taught IN
all the government schools and is being
introduced to q certain extent i'll some
departments of the government.
In former years the Chinese charac-
tiers were the classical manner of writ
ing in the country, but since the Japs
have become so prominent in the eyes Of
the world they have become ashamed OF
tbe Chinaman's way of writing, and the
old Jananese system, which for years
was almost abandoned, is fast gaining
ground and is being taught to q great
extent 1t is the one ambition of all
Japanese. however, to read, write and
speak English.
Brother Still in Manchuria

for some time has been connected with
