GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP.
No Medicine so Beneficial to Brain
and Nerves.

Lying awake nights makes it hard
to keep awake and do things in day
time. To take "tonics and stimU'
lants" under such circumstances Is
like setting the house on fire to see
If you can put it out.
The right kind Of food promotes re.
freshing sleep at night and a wide
awake individual during the day.
A lady changed from her old way Of
eating, to Grape-Nuts, and says:
For about three years had been
a great sufferer from indigestion.
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 | started on Grape-Nuts,
vomiting stopped, and the bloating
feeling which was SO distressing dis
appeared entirely.

ing the Grape-Nuts, because her stom.

her food. Since using Grape-Nuts she

could live without 1t.

nerve builder, for | can sleep as sound
and undisturbed after a supper OF
Grape.Nuts as in the old days when

by a bad stomach" There is no
medicine so beneficial to nerves and
brain as a good nights sleep, such as
you can enjoy after eating Grape
Nuts."

HE MADE THE OPPORTUNITY
How Educator Succeeded in Desire
to Address Students.

A distinguished educator of Boston,
who once visited a western college
during examination week, was, for
some reason or other, not asked to
address the students, as he had ex-
pected he would be. In chapel he
was merely requested to lead in pray
er, which he did in this wise:
BE pleased, rather in Heaven, to
guide the steps Of the president Of
this college. Thou knowest that he
was a clasmate Of Thy servant, a
graduate of the class Of "a, taking
high honors. Thine eye hath looked
with favor upon the happy choice that
resulted in his appointment, with the
consent of the trustees, as the head
of this institution. Thou knowest
that the students of this college ought
to look upon him as a friend as well
as their president. Thou knowest
that thy servant is well pleased with
the high standards of scholarship
here prevailing and with the right.
eousness and loyalty of the stu
dents"
Finally, to the intense delight of
the students, the visitor concluded his
prayer as follows:
And l thank Thee for this oppor.
tunity to address the students Of this
college"

ERRORS ABOUT THE WHITE
HOUSE.

To the Editor:
l noticed somewhere recently-I
would not say positively that it was in
your columns-an article on the White
House which contained several mis-.
statements,
In the first place it 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
1892. 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.preparad 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 all painters know that
pure white lead and linseed oil make
the best paint.
1t so happened also that l knew
white lead and linseed oil-not ready,
mixed paint-were used on the White
House, because | had just read a book,
let published by a firm Of ready-miXed
