Familiar,

Six-year-old Marie is minister's
daughter, and Christmas, 1904, found
half a dozen dolls under the Christ
mas tree. There they stood during
Christmas week, when, realizing that
six or seven dolls in addition to 9th
er toys was too much Of a good thing,
mother, who had the lookahead tenn
permanent, resolved to kidnap one of
the family and put 1t by for the next
year.
To all appearances the scheme was
carried through successfully, as no
inquiries were made. So, on Christ
mas, 1905, the last years baby re-
appeared under the new tree. Next
morning Marie, accompanied by the
usual number of grown-ups, was talk
en- to view the tree. Fixing her eyes
on the absentee and holding her dim
pied chin with chubby hand, after
a period of deep thought she remark.

eREAD DYSPEPSIA.
The Dlge sting Element Left Out.

Bread dyspepsia is common 1t af-
fects the bowels because white bread
is nearly all starch, anc starch is d.
gested in the intestines, not In the
stomach proper.
Up under the shell of the wheat
berry Nature has provided a curious
deposit which is turned into diastase
when it is subjected to the saliva and
to the pancreatlc juices in the human
intestines.
This diastase is absolutely necessary
to digest starch and turn 1t into grape
sugar, which is the next form; but that
part Of the wheat berry makes dark
flour, and the modern miller cannot
readily sell dark four r. natures val.
liable digester is thrown out and the
human system must handle the starch
as best it can, without the help that
Nature intended.
Small wonder that appendicitis, peri
tonitls, constipation, and all sorts OF
trouble exist when we 60 so contrary
to Natures law. The food experts that
perfected Grape-Nuts Food, knowing
these facts, made use in their expert
ments of the entire wheat and barley,
including all the parts, and subjected
them to moisture and long continued
warmth, which allows time and the
proper conditions for developing the
diastase, outside Of the human body.
In this way the starchy part Is trans.
formed into grape-sugar in perfectly
natural manner, without the use OF
chemicals or any outside ingredients.
The little sparkling crystals of grape.
sugar can be seen Oh the pieces Of
Grape-Nuts. This food therefore is
naturally pre-digested and Its use in
place of bread will quickly correct the
troubles that have been brought about
by the too free use Of starch in the
food, and that Is very common In the
human race to-day.
The effect of eating GrapeNuts ten
days or two weeks and the dlscontin-
nance of ordinary white bread, is very
marked. The user will gain rapidly in
strength and physical and mental
health.
There's reason"

the bull started for him with head
down and tail up the scare would
drive the rheumatism out and he
would strike 2:40 gait for the fence"
"And how did it work."
Three minutes after the bull
caught sight of Charley his rheuma'
tism was gone, never to return"
"You don't say!"
But l do, and Charley was gone
with it. He never knew how high he
went when the bull got his horns un.

TIL. Point of the PrOyerb.

An old proverb advises the shoe
maker to stick to his last. 1t means
that a man always succeeds best at
the business he knows. TO the farmer
it means, stick to your pillow; to the
blacksmith, stick to your forge; to the
painter. stick to your brush. When we
make experiments out of our line they
are likely to prove expensive failures.
1t is amusing, however, to remark
how every one of us secretly thinks he
could do some other fellows work pet
ter than the other fellow himself. The
painter imagines he can make paint
better than the paint manufacturer,
the farmer thinks he can do JOB or
painting better. or ut least cheaper
than the painter, and so on.
A farm hand IN one of Octave
Thanet's stories tells the Walking Del
cgate of the Painters Union, Any
body can slather paint" and the old
line painter tells the paint salesman,
"None of your ready made mixtures
for me: | reckon | ought to know how
to mix paint
The farm hand is wrong and the
painter Is wrong: shoemaker, stick
TO your last" The fancy farmer
can farm, of course, but it is an ex-
ppnsive amusement. IT it strikes him
MS pleasant to grow strawberries at
fifty cents apiece or to produce eggs
that cost him five dollars Il dozen. it
is Il form of amusement, to be sure, II
lie can afford it, but it's not farming.
If farmer likes to slosh around with
Il paint brush and can afford the time
and expense of having n practical
painter do the job right pretty soon
afterward, it's harmless form OF
amusement. If the painters customers
can afford to stand for paint that
comes off in half the time it should,
they have a perfect right to Indulge
his harmless vanity about his skill in
paint making. But in none Of these
eases does the shoemaker stick to his
last.
There is just one class of men in
the world that knows how to make
paint properly and have the facilities
for doing it right; and that is the paint
manufacturers the makers Of the
standard brands of ready-prepared
paints. The painter mixes paints; the
paint manufacturer grinds them To-
gether In good ready prepared paint
every particle of one kind Of pigment
is forced to join hands with particle
of another kind and every bit of solid
matter is forced, as it were, to open its
mouth and drink in its share of linseed
oil. That is the only way good paint
can be made, and If the painter knew
how to do it he has nothing ut hand to
do it with. A paint pot and paddle
are Il poor substitute for power mixers,
buhr-mills and rolier-millS.
The man who owns Il building and
npglects to paint it as often as 1t needs
paint is only a degree more short
sighted than the one who tries to do
his own painting or allows the painter
to mix his paint for him. Z. q.

New Hampshire Man Stuck to Letter

There are some literal minded per-

spirit Of the law, but who consider 1t
necessary to enter into compromises
with the letter. OF such was an old
citizen Of Hopkinton, N. H., a good
many years ago, and his Juggling with
his conscience Is recorded by Mr.. Lord

The old man used to boast that he
never went back on his exact word,
but had no conjunction in going
round it. Once he wished to buy a
certain tract of land, and when the
owner named the price he exclaimed:
II won't give it! tell you I will
never give it,"
The owner did not yield neverthe.

man called again. He said nothing
about the land, but stepped into the
owners barn and picked up fail.

THAT? Oh, that's fail"
$50 you call that fail. do you?
Well, what would you take for it,"
The owner named very small sum.
"Now, I'll tell you what III do"
continued the old man. "I'll give you
the price you mentioned for your land
and this fail. And you mustn't forget
the fail. 1t must be included in the
