Good Colors for Houses.

It 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 hay.
 One writer on paints, 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 a house better than those which allow these rays to pass through the film:
 Thus red is a 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 various tones these tints will produce will give wide range from which to choose.
 Avoid the harsh tints, such as cold yellows (like lemon), cold greens (like grass green, etc). and the blues.
 It must be understood that no virtue is claimed for tints in themselves, ire spective 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 a reliable manufac- turer-and genuine linseed oil, the warm tnts mentioned above will outwear the same material tinted with the cold colors.

Suffered for "White Lie"

Is white lie ever justified? That at least some people believe it has no excuse is proved by the following tale: An ancient rabbi came to city where all the people were truthful, married one of the inhabitants, had two children and prospered. One day a neighbor called when the rabbi S wife was washing her head, and the rabbi, going to the door, was seized by false modesty and said that she had gone out. Thereupon both of his children died, and, as no one died in that city before reaching old age, the neighbors made inquiries, the rabbi confessed what he had done, and was ordered to leave the city immediately.

MORE THAN MONEY.
A Minister Talks About erape-Nuts.

My first stomach trouble began back in 1885," writes minister in Nebr., resulting from hasty eating and eating too much. I found no re- lief from medicine and grew so bad that all food gave me great distress.
 Tt was that sore, gnawing, hungry feeling in my stomach that was so distressing and I became a sick man. Grape-Nuts was recommended as a food that could be easily digested.
 LeavingsaE5 '5id diet that had given me sol1nuch trouble, I began to eat .2pe-Nuts with a little cream and sugar. The change effected in 24 hours was truly remarkable, and in few weeks I was back to health again.
 My work as a minister calls mo away from home a great deal, and re- gently I drifted back to fat meat and indigestible foods, which put me again ,son the sick list
 50 went back to Grape-Nuts and cream and in four days I was put right again. The old dull headaches are gone, stomach comfortable, head clear, and it is a delight to pursue my studies and work.

He is w. A. Miller, and for the past six years has been assistant foreman of the bindery in the government printery.
 While the charge against Miller was insol- ence and insubordination, it is generally believed that he was busted through the efforts of the labor organization which he defied
 Miller first came into public notice in 1903 when the employees of the printing office demand ed his discharge for alleged arrogance in conduct but primarily because he had abandoned mem bersaip in the bookbinders' union. Miller was suspended at the time, but the president directed that he be reinstated, and subsequently ordered the printing office, but all departments where work
