MISQUoTED PHRASES.

Do you know that the word dude:
comes from the English word "duds, .
which means clothes? Hence, a dude
Is ono very fond Of clothes.
DO you know the expression
Sure as eggs is eggs" was never
meant to be as ungrammatical as 1t
sounds? The original was sure as X
Is X.
DO you know why foolscap paper Is
so called? When Charles | was king
Of England only certain people we're
allowed to manufacture paper, and 1t
all had to bear the royal arms. Parli-
ament made sport of the law, and or.
dered fools cap and bells to be used
instead.
Do you know the origin of the
phrase up Salt River?" Before steam,
navigation along the Ohio was carried
On by flatboats, which were rowed up
stream. This was particularly hard
work, especially up Salt river, dan
gerous. crooked branch OF the Ohio
river in Kentucky. When slaves were
to be punished, this was a common
method employed by their owners.
Hence, at election times, people refer
to sending the defeated candidates
up Salt River" as Il penalty.

REPAIRING BRAIN
A Certain Way by Food.

Every minister, lawyer, journalist,
physician, author or business man is
forced under pressure of modern con-
ditions to the active and sometimes
overactive use Of the brain.
Analysis of the excreta thrown out
by the pores shows that brain work
breaks down the phosphate Of potash,
separating 1t from its heavier compan-
ion, albumen, and plain common sense
teaches that this elemental principle
must be introduced into the body anew
each day, II we would replace the loss
and rebuild the brain tissue.
We know that, the phosphate of
potash, as presented in certain field
grains, has an affinity for albumen and
that is the only way gray matter in the
brain can be built. 1t will not answer
to take the crude phosphate of potash
Of the drug shop, for nature rejects 1t.
The elemental mineral must be pre-
eented through food directly from ma.
ture's laboratory.
These facts have been made use OF
In the manufacture of Grape Nuts, and
any brain worker can prove the value
of the proper selection of food by MAX
ing free use Of Grape-Nuts for ten days
Or two weeks. Sold by grocers every

THE WHITE PAINT OF THE
WHITE HOUSE.

| The White House at Washington,
which has been the "Kings Palace
OF the American People since it was
first occupied by President Madison
in 1909, has recently undergone a
thorough course of remodeliing, reno
vation and repair Every American
citizen Is owner of an undivided
eighty or eighty-five millionth part Of
the White House, as well as Of the
other Public Buildings and Monuments
in the Capitol City. An item in the
renovation Of the remodelled White
House was repainting. Every visitor
to Washington knows why the White
House is so called-because 1t is lit.
orally white house.. The exterior
paint must therefore be white. Now
while the pure white surfaces and sim.
pie lines of the White House, set in
the midst of green lawns and beauti.
full trees, produce very satisfying
effect Of dignifed simplicity, white
paint from practical point of view,
is about the most unsatisfactory kind
of paint that could have been selected
by the original designers. First, be.
cause any white paint is easily dis.
colored by smoke and dust, and sec.
ond, because ordinary white paint
itself gradually turns gray or brown
ish yellow from exposure.
But white the White House Is and
white 1t must remain or it would no
longer be the white House" So the
renovators, making the best of dis.
couraging situation, sought for the
best kind of white paint procurable.
The average citizen If asked to guess
what kind of paint they finally decid.
ed on would probably answer-"white
lead and OIL but he would guess
wrongly. The paint selected as the
best obtainable was ready mixed
paint, such as can be bought in any
well furnished village store, such as
Is used by more than half of the
eighty or eighty-nve million owners
of the White House on their own
homes. That one brand of mixed
paint was used instead Of another is
a mere accidental detail--there are
fifty or hundred brands on the
market that might have been selected
In other circumstances, and in fact,
a different brand was used In paint.

Every property owner. therefore,
who paints his house with a high
grade ready-mixed paint is following
the example set by the Government
Authorities at Washington, who used |
ready-:nixed paint, because they could
find nothing else as good.

RUSSIAN FUNDAMENTAL LAW
VERY UNEXPECTED.
BECOME QUITE INDIGNANT.
The News Arouses Indignation and
Threatens to Undo All the Work Of
the Democratic Leaders In the
Cause Of Moderation.

st. Petersburg, May 9.-Another OF
the kaleidoscope changes in the po.
litical situation to which Russia is be-
coming accustomed occurred when
with utter unexpectedness the draft
Of the fundamental law, which was
supposed to have persisted with the
Witte regime, was officially promul-
gated and made the permanent basis
Of the Russian state, unalterable ex-
cept on the initiative of Emperor
Nicholas or his successor
Though the draft of the fundamen-
tai law has undergone considerable
editing and numerous changes have
been made In 1t, In essence 1t remains
Identical with the project telegraphed
to the Associated Press on April "a,
which evoked a storm of anger and
condemnation by the dominant libe-
eral party. Published at the present
instant, when the people had been led
to believe that the unpopular draft
had been dropped and when the dis.
missal of the old cabinet was accept
ed as an indication Of the desire on
the part of the, government to join
hands with the national parliament
the news will arouse still greater in
dignation and threatens to undo all
the work Of Professor Milukoff AMI
the other constitutional democratic
leaders in the cause of moderation.
The only modification in the "consti-
tuition" as published which meets with
favor Is the elimination of the pro-
vision empowering the emperor to fix
salaries and pensions of officials,
thereby subjecting even the judiciary
to the possibility of undue financial
influence. All the other changes are
in the direction Of further buttressing
the imperial power, protecting the
crown lands and properties from in
reference by the parliament and CIV
ing the emperor power to negotiate
loans independently should the par
lament refuse to pass the budget.

pointment Of NJ. Schwanbech to be

Ministers Shipoff, Nemrehaieff, No
kolsky, Obolensky and Tolstoit, whom,
at the last moment 1t was decided to
replace, will remain attached to their
former departments. an unprecedent-
ed occurrence in Russian bureaucracy,
and perhaps an indication that the
present ministry is not expected to be
of long duration.
