A lady changed from her old way Of
eating, to Grape Nuts. and says:
For about three years l had been
great sufferer from indigestion.
After trying several kinds of medi-
cine. the doctor would ask me to drop
of potatoes, then meat, and so on.
but in few days that craving. gnaw-
ing feeling would start up. and
would vomit everything l ate and

vomiting stopped. and the bloatins
feeling which was so distressing dis
appeared entirely.
MY mother was very much both

ing the Grape-Nuts. because her stom'
ach was so weak she could not digest
her food. Since using Grape-Nuts she
is we'll. and says she don't think she

ERRORS ABOUT THE White
HOUSE,.
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
l noticed somewhere recently-I
would not say positively that it was in
your columns-an article on the White
House which contained several mis-
statements.
In the first place it was stated the
White House was first occupied in
1909 and that its first occupant was
President Madison. The fact is, its
first occupant was President Adams.
who took up his residence there in
1900.
The original mansion was begun in
1892. In 1914 it was burned by the
British and rebuilt in 1918.
Another of the errors in the article
referred to was the statement that
ready-prepared paint is used on the
White House to make it beautifully
white.
noticed this especially because
have used considerable paint myself
and wondered that canned" paint
should be used on such an importan.
building when all painters know that
pure white lead and linseed oil make
the best paint.
1t so happened also that I knew
white lead and lnseed oil-not ready
mixed paint-were used on the White
House. because | had just read book
let published by firm OF ready-miXed
paint manufacturers who also manu-
facture pure white lead In that book
the manufacturers admitted that for
the White House nothing but the
best and purest OF paint could be
used" and said that their pure white
lead had been selected.
Above all people. those who attempt
to write on historical subjects should
give us facts, even If it is only date
or a statement about wood. or brick,
or paint or other building material.
Yours for truth,
