GOOD coLoRs cor HOUSES.

1t is not generally known--not even
among painters-why certain tints
and colors wear much better than
others on houses, and the knowledge
OF just what tints are best to use is,
therefore, rather hazy
One writer on paint, in recent
book, says that experiments seem to
show that those colors which resist
or turn back the heat rays of the sun,
will protect house better than those
which allow these rays to pass
through the film,
Thus red is good color because It
turns back, or reflects, the red rays,
and the red rays are the hot rays.
In general, therefore, the warm
tones are good and the cold tones are
poor, so far as wear is concerned. In
choosing the color of paint for your
house, select reds, browns, grays
and olives which, considering the va
rious tones these tints will produce,
will give wide range from which to
choose.
Avoid the harsh tints, such as cold
yellows (like lemon), cold green's
(like grass green, etc. and the blues,
1t must be understood that no vir'
tue is claimed for tints in themselves
irrespective of the materials used in
the paint. Any color will fade, and
the paint will scale off, If adulterated
white lead or canned paint is used
but If one is careful to use the best
white lead-some well-known brand
of reliable manufacturer-and gen
uine linseed oil, the warm tints men.

SALlOW FACES
Often Caused by Coffee Drinking.

How many persons realize that cof
fee so disturbs digestion that it pro
duces muddy, yellow complexion?
A ten days trial of Postum Food
Coffee has proven a means, in thou
sands of cases, of clearing up bad
compilations.
A Washn. young lady tells her expe
rience:
"All of us-father, mother, sister
and brother-had used tea and coffee
for many years until finally we all
had stomach troubles more or less.
I'VE were all sallow and troubled
with pimples, breath bad, disagree
able taste in the mouth, and all of us
simply so many bundles of nerves.
I'VE didn't realize that coffee was
the cause of the trouble until one day
we ran out of coffee and went to bor-
row some from neighbor., She gave
us some Postum and told us to try
that.
although we started to make 1t,
we all felt sure we would be sick If
we missed our strong coffee, but we
were forced to try Postum and were
surprised to find it delicious.
I'VE read the statements on the
pkg, got more and in a month and a
half you wouldn't have known us.
We were all able to digest our food
without any trouble, each ones skin
became clear, tongues cleaned off and
nerves in fine condition. We never
use anything now but Postum. There
IS nothing like It," Name given by

BUILDING AN ICE HOUSE.
Not So Expensive or Difficult That
Every Farmer May Not Have One.

there is ice every winter, there should
be no reason why he should not have
an ice house, and have it filled each
winter. Where ice has been used in
summer the housewife soon regards
it as necessity.
The accompanying illustration was
made from a photograph taken by a
representative of the Prairie Farmer
and shows an ice house that has been
in use for some 20 years. 1t has been
filled regularly every year, and the
owner feels that it is as much part
of his farm work as planting corn in
the spring. 1t furnishes supply for

Facts About Alaska.

Alaska is an interesting region. In
area she is twice as large as Texas,
with California thrown in, but her
resident white population numbers
only about 10000, though in summer
she has from 10000 to 10000 more
whites. In fur, fish and minerals she
is rich Since her annexation she has
furnished $50,OO0,0O0 of furs, $50, 000,,
600 of fish and $7O,O00,0O0 of minerals,
chiefly gold and silver. Her output

Poison in Yolk of EGGS.

M. G. Loisel has arrived at the
somewhat startling conclusion that
the yolk of the eggs Of fowls and
ducks, as well as those of the tortoise,
contains poisonous substances. When
isolated and injected into the veins OF
rabbits or other animals these prompt
ly cause death. The phenomena pro-
duced are those of acute intoxication
