To tho earth made nm OF three con-

Is the earth made up of three con-
centric spheres? Al physicist says
that such Is the case. The solid nu-
cleus he supposes to be between 5000
and 1000 miles in diameter and this
lis surrounded by a liquid substratum,
outside Of which is the crust, various
iy estimated at seventy to 200 miles
In thickness. More than two centur-
les ago a similar theory, including
the slow rotation of the inner solid
sphere on a different axis from that
Df the entire globe, was held by DR..
Edmund HALEY to account for the
changes in the earth's magnetism.
The axis Of the nucleus was thought
to have been originally that OF b
entire globe and to the change OF its
course was attributed the deluge.
The earth's internal heat, it Is now
pointed out, may be accounted for by
the friction of the differently rotat-
ing bodies.

GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP.

Of eating to Grape-Nuts and says:
For about three years l had been

After trying several kinds of medi-
cine the doctor would ask me to drop
off potatoes, then meat, and so on,
but in a few days that craving, gnaw-
ing feeling would start up and |
would vomit everything l ate and
drank.
When l started on Grape-Nuts,
vomiting stopped, and the bloating
feeling which was SO distressing dis.
appeared entirely.
MY mother was very much both

Nrrors About the White House.


To the Editor:
1 noticed somewhere recently
would not say positively that 1t was
in your columns-an article on the
White House which contained several
mis-statertents.
In the first place 1t was stated The
White House was first occupied i'll
1909. and that its first occupant was
President Madison. The fact is, its
arst 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 1873.
Another of the errors in the artt-
Gle referred to wasthe statement that
ready-prepared paint is used on the
White House to make it beautifully
white.
! noticed this especially because I
have used considerable paint myself,
and wondered that canned" paint
should be used ON such an important
building, when alipainters know that
pure white lead and linseed oil make
the best paint.
1t 80 happened also that I knew
white lead and linse6d Oil - not
ready-mixed paint-were used IN the
Whita House, because I had just read
d booklet published by a firm oil
teady-mtxed paint manufacturers,
who also manufacture pure white
lead. In that book the m~anufactur-
ers admitted that for the White
House nothing but the best and
purest of paint could be used and
said thai their pure white lead had
been selected.
Above all people those who at
tempt to write on historical subjects
should give us facts, even II it is
only q date Or a statement about
wood, OF brick. or paint, or other
building material. Yours for truth,

In the northern states, east OF the

the average size of farms has taken
place between the two. last census re-
ports. Massachusetts,, Rhode Island,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio, 1ndi-
ana and Illinois showed a slight dim

the other states in this region showed
q SLIGHT increase. The farms in these
older states are evidently about their
normal size for the present. Not many
of them will bear dividing for the
children. and there is not much dispo-
eition to unite eastern farms into large
enterprises. The tendency Is rather to
condense operations by thorough farm
