An inquiry conducted by order of
the French senate acquits white lead
Of being a vicious poisoner. So far
from being able to find evidence of
excessive mortality among journey
men house painters, the committee re-
ports a very low death rate among
men of that trade, the average being
only one in 1000 or 5000. The only
excessive mortality was found in dis
tricts where the painters mixed too
much alcohol with their work. Which
is good demonstration that solutions
of white lead in alcohol are apt to
deposit deadly precipitates, and is
timely warning to house painters. at
least, to drink spirits in moderation
or not at all.

BACK TO PULPIT.
What Food Did for Clergyman.

A minister of Elizabethtown tells
how Grape-Nuts food brought him
back to his pulpit: Some years ago
l had an attack of what seemed to be
La Grippe which left me in a COM
plete state of collapse and l suffered
for some time with nervous prostra-
ton. My appetite failed, lost flesh
till I was a mere skeleton, life was a
burden to me, lost interest in every
my precious wife.
Then on the recommendation OF
some friends l began to use Grape
Nuts food. At that time was a mis-
cradle skeleton, without appetite and
hardly able to walk across the room;
had ugly dreams at night, no disposi
tion to entertain or be entertained and
began to shun society.
Il finally gave up the regular minis
try, indeed l could not collect my
thoughts on any subject, and became
almost hermit. After l had been
using the Grape-Nuts food for a short
time I discovered that / was taking

my weight increased steadily; l had
lost some so pounds. but under the
new food regime l have regained al
most my former weight and have
greatly improved in every way.

Nuts and can truly recommend the
food to all who require a powerful re-
building agent, delicious to taste and
always welcome"

Sions. If you want business, a desire

You cannot sit still and expect wealth

Frugalitv of the French

The astonishing statement is made
that the French people have invested
in foreign securities the stupendous
amount of above $13.O0OOOO. 900, and
that in addition TO their own public
debt, the greatest of any nation, which
is an exclusively domestic loan. These
gigantic savings are due to frugality
and to thrift. Thrift was French

FIRE THE BEST FILTER.
II Water Really Is to Be Purified,
There Is Only One Way
to Do It.

Gall this talk about the need Of H.

chemist. For filtered water isn't
necessarily pure water. Boiled water
is 100 times better.
"A filter, you see, does not free
water from things dissolved in 1t. but
only from things floating In it. For
instance, If you mix quart of whisky
In a gallon of water and then filter
the mixture, 1t will come out color

sewage. All the undissolved portions
of the sewage are removed by filtra-

Let those who complain about the
lack of filters just turn in and boil

A Balloon Incline Railroad.

Consul William Bardel writes from
Bambery that Engineer Balderauer.
of Salzberg, has invented a balloon
railroad, experiments with which ars
now being made in the mountains in
the neighborhood Of that German city.
1t consists Of a stationary balloon,
which is fastened to a slide running
along a single steel rail. The rail is
fastened to the side of a steep noun
tain, which ordinary railroads could
not climb, except through deep cuts
and tunnels. The balloon is to float
about 80 feet over the ground, and
heavy steel cable connects it with
the rail- The conductor can, at will,
make the balloon slide up and down
the side of the mountain. For going
up the motive power is furnished by
hydrogen gas, while the descent ia
caused by pressure of water, which
is poured into a large tank at the up
per end of the road, and which serves
as ballast. Suspended from the bal
loon is a circular car with room for
ten passengers. The cable goes from
the bottom of the balloon through the
center of the car TO a regulator OF
speed, which is controlled by the con-
ductor. The inventor Of this railroad
claims that his patent will force all
incline cable roads out of existence.

Opposition TO the endless food of i'm
migrants is usually based either upon
the feal that they will destroy the
market for native labor or the belief
that they will lower the standard of
citizenship and morality. In either
case, says Youths Companion, the fear
is directed against the immigrant him
self. At the recent convention, in New
York, OF the American Social Science
association, a danger less often consid-
cred was pointed out: that which
comes from the second generation. The
foreign-born population, according 10
figures which were given, furnishes
more than twice its normal proportion
Of inmates of penal, insane and chari-
table institutions; but the children of
immigrants are three times as criminal
as the children of the native-born, and
twice as criminal as the immigrants
themselves.

Peaches, my wife, acquired the anna

My wife selected a spare room on the

A half hour later ghostly noises began
to come from that room and mysterious

pumped over the lawn.
When reached the front door found
that the gardener had left, the waitress
