Wife Made Wise Change in Food.

Change Of diet is the only way to
really cure stomach and bowel trouble.
A woman says:
my husband had dyspepsia when
we were married and had suffered
from it for several years. 1t was al.
most impossible to find anything he
could eat without bad results.
II 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 Vicks.
burg (my former home), had become q
nervous wreck also from dyspepsia.
Medicines had no effect, neither did
travel help her. On my last visit
home, some months ago, | persuaded
her to use Grape-Nuts food. She was
In despair. and consented. She stuck
to it until 1t restored her health 10

enthusiastic friend of Grape-Nuts that

is illustrated at ID in Fig. GO, where the
width of X is the same as that Of the re-
naming surface, Y. If preferred, the
angles may be made rounding instead Of
beveling, al shown at c in Fig. Ga, but
here, as in the CASE of beveling, the
rounds must be stopped off in the same
way as shown for the bevel in Fig. 63
When the frame is beveled, or rounded,
no rabbet should be cut in the frame
for the glass, instead the rabbet is
formed on the back Of the frame by four
strips Of wood. These strips should be
n and one-fourth inches wide and
about three-eighths of an inch in thick
ness, and are glued and nailed on the
back Of the frame so that the space in
closed by them will be One-eighth Of an
inch larger all around than the size Of
the glass mirror. These strips are
shown at A and A, Fig. 60, and also on
the cross section B and C in Fig. Ga.

Natural Gas Near Kansas CITY.

Natural las Near Kansas CITY.
NATURAL gas was discovered by James
G. Patrick, a clerk in the Office Of
County Clerk Phelps, on Brush creek
near the intersection of Woodland av-
enue and that stream in the south
part of Kansas City. Mr.. Patrick, with
his family had been there for a half
days outing. AS he passed along the
waters edge he noticed a bubbling.
He set a newspaper on fire and threw
1t out on the water. To his astonish-
ment. a blaze flashed up and continued
to burn when he left there half an hour
later. The gas gave forth the
blue flame which distinguishes natural
gas from the pale yellow blaze of the
artificial product.

while the mirror is 10 by 20 inches, the
front opening in the frame Is only ~
by 1917 inches. thus covering one-
fourth Of an inch Of the glass all around
its edges, and the rabbet for the glass,
at the back, must be cut three-eighths
Of an inch deep and three-eighths Of an
inch wide.
Set the marking gauge to three
eighths of an inch and mark both the
back side and also the inside edge of
each piece.
Then With a narrow chisel and mallet
cut the rabbet down roughly, a chip at q
time, as shown at the lett on c and also
at the right on b.
After cutting the rabbet the entire
length in this way, smooth out the chips
with q wider chisel. and finish, as shown
on the right end Of c, and also in the
greatly enlarged rail B. Now trim down
the lemons on the inside edge to 3M
inches. and the frame is ready to be
glued together.
Hot glue is the best for all purposes
for which glue is used, because 1t dries
more quickly, and also makes a stronger
joint. For u present purpose any good
cold glue, such as La Pages. will answer,
but the frame must remain in the
clamps much longer--at least IL hours

For years inquiries from all parts OF

ton. The information already OBJ
tanned by the experts show Missouri
to be the greatest frog producer In
