ERRORS ABOUT THE WHITE
HOUSE.
To the Editor:

To the Editor: ...
I noticed somewhere recently
would not say positively that 1t was In
your columns-an article on the White
House which contained several mis-.
statements.
In the first place 1t 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
1902. 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 1t beautifully
white.
I noticed this especially because I
have used considerable paint myself
and wondered that canned" paint
should be used on such an important
building when all painters know that
pure white lead and linseed oil make
the best paint.
1t so happened also that knew
white lead and linseed 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 q date
or a statement about wood, or brick,
or paint, or other building material.
Yours for truth,

DUBIOUS
About What Her Husband Would Say.

A Mich. woman tried Postum Food
Coffee because ordinary coffee dis
agreed with her and her husband. She
writes:
"Hy husband was sick for three
years with catarrh of the bladder, and
palpitation Of the heart, caused by
coffee. Was unable to work at all
and in bed part of the time.
II had stomach trouble, was weak
and fretful so I could not attend to
my housework-both of us using COT
fee all the time, and realizing it was
harmful.
"One morning the grocer's wife
said she believed coffee was the cause
of our trouble and advised Postum.
l took it home rather dubious about
what my husband would say-he was
fond of coffee.
But l took coffee right off the
table, and we. haven't used cup Of
1t since. You should have seen the
change in us, and now my husband
never complains of heart palpitation
any more. My stomach trouble went
away in two weeks after I began Pos
tum. My children love it and it does
them good, which can't be said OF
coffee.
"A lady visited us who was always
half sick. l told her I'd make her a
cup of Postum She said it was taste
less stuff, but she watched me make
it, boiling it thoroughly for Is min
utes, and when done she said it was
splendid. Long boiling brings out the

Alum Baking Powder Is Wholesome.

DR.. Herman Reinbold, the expert
German chemist, in q recent official
report concerning Baking Powders,
declares that pure alum baking pow.
der is better and less Injurious than

He says that If the quantity Of alum

baking powder for batch of bread or

and taken into the stomach OF any
one person, no matter how delicate,
it could do no harm. On the contrary,
alum is wholesome in proper quanti-
ties. This Is undoubtedly the reason

Of the most wholesome of all baking
powders. So much for Alum Baking
Powders.

MEMORIES OF TIE PAST.

Comruemoration of the Deeds
of Heroes.

Memorial day was founded that
there might be few hours in each
year set aside for the appropriate
who had been killed while serving the
country in the army or navy or who
had died since having SO served. For
a number of years it was generally
and suitably observed Then in some
places it ceased to be observed at all.
In many it was given up to bicycle
and horse racing and other sports and
festivities.
Diversions Of this kind have been
widely and properly protested against
as dissertations Of the day. The pro-
tests seem to have had some effect,
for observance of the occasion prom.
ises to be not only more general this
year than usual but also more appro-

Contemplation of the courageous and
self-sacrificing patriotism exhibited by
past generations is to little purpose

with purpose to emulate them.
The men of to-day have confronting
them questions almost as difficult as
any which have yet been dealt with.

Keep Alive Love for Flag,

AS each year rolls around some patri-
otic city is asked to welcome the G. A.
R. in a grand runeion. striving to out
do some other city. which with out
stretched arms has welcomed the G. A.
r. in a grand reunion. striving to out
to life dormant spirit of devotion to
the old flag and a resolve that this
union of states will never be dissolved.
Without the G. A. r. to refresh the
memory of the people of this country
they would be apt to forget the great
sacrifice this nation suffered that this
union should not be dissolved.
Again there is another wing to tn ,
G. A. r., the Sons of Veterans, organ
ized to go hand in hand with the G.
A. r. to perpetuate their memory for
generations to come, to keep alive the
love for the old flag, as the strength
of the nation depends on the love of its
people to defend it in time of danger.

BREAD DYSPEPSIA,
The Digesting Element Left OF

The Digesting Element Left Out.
Bread dyspepsia is common. 1t af-
fects the bowels because white bread is
nearly all starch. and starch is digested
in the intestines, not in the stomach
proper.
Up under the shell of the wheat berry
nature has provided curious deposit
which is turned into diastase when it is
subjected to the saliva and to the pan
creatic juices in the human intestines.
This diastase is absolutely necessary
to digest starch and turn it into grape
sugar, which is the next form; but that
part Of the wheat berry makes dark
flour, and the modern miller cannot
readily sell dark flour, so natures val
liable digester is thrown out and the
human system must handle the starch
as best 1t can, without the help that Ma ..
ture intended
Small wonder that appendicitis. peri
tonitis, constipation and all sorts of
trouble exist when we go so contrary
to natures law. The food experts tina,
perfected Grape-Nuts Food, knowing
these facts, made use In their expert
ments of the entire wheat and barley
including all the parts, and subjected
them to moisture and long continued
warmth, which allows time and the
proper conditions for developing the
diastase. outside of the human body.
In this way the starchy part Is trans
formed into grape-sugar in a perfect
ly natural manner, without the use of
chemicals or any outside ingredients
The little sparkling crystals Of grape
sugar can be seen on the pieces Of
Grape-Nuts. This food therefore Is
naturally pre-digested and its use in
place of bread will quickly correct the
troubles that have been brought about
by the too free use of starch in the
food, and that is very common In the
human race to-day
The eeffct of eating Grape-Nuts ten
days or two weeks and the discontin.
uance of ordinary white bread is very
marked. The user will gain rapidly In
strength and physical and mental
health.
There's a reason"

Fraternity, Charity and Loyalty.

The greatest service the Grand Army
of the Republic has rendered is the
beautiful way in which it gives life to
the principles of the organization-fra
ternity, charity and loyalty.
That millions of men of every degree
Of life and station should for 40 years
be bound together by this common bond
of brotherhood is not only worthy OF
admiration, but also of imitation by the
members of this republic.
Charity, or love, is the greatest thing
in the world, and love is the key to
every department of life, the founda-
tion of patriotic teaching. the safety OF
the country, the home and the individ-
ual.
Loyalty to their comrades. their or.
ganization. their country and their Gol
has been fttingly illustrated in the
lives of these boys in blue.
This trinity of principles, if copied
by our 80 900 900 citizens, would make
US the greatest nation on earth.
