MOTORING IN PALESTINE.

Apropos of the tri p Of American
tourists who were the first to enter
Palestine with a motor car, the con-
sui at Jerusalem, Thomas r. Wall
lace, reports that the tour was made
with ease, even roads that had been
pronounced impracticable for motor
cars being traversed without diff
Guilty. He says that great interest
has been aroused throughout the dis
trict, and that number of people
are talking Of investing in cars. He
recommends light, strong car, with
good clearance, a good hill climber,
and of medium price, and suggests
that repair and supply shop would
add greatly to the chance of sales.
At present permission from the
Turkish imperial government must
be obtained to travel through the
country in motor cars.

FRIENDLY TIP
Restored Hope and Confidence.

After several years of Indigestion
and it's attendant evil influence on the
mind, it is not very surprising that
one finally loses faith in things gen.
orally.
A N. Y. woman writes an interesting
letter. She says:
Three years ago l suffered from
an attack of peritonitis which left me
in a most miserable condition. For
over two years l suffered from nerv-
BUSINESS, weak heart, shortness of
breath, could not sleep, etc.
my appetite was ravenous, but l
felt starved all the time. l had plenty
of food but it did not nourish me
because of intestinal Indigestion. Med.
ical treatment did not seem to helr,
! got discouraged, stopped medicine
and did not care much whether | lived
or died.
"One day a friend asked me why l
didn't try Grape-Nuts, stop drinking
coffee, and use Postum. l had lost
faith in everything but to please my
friends l began to use both and soon
became very fond of them
ut wasn't long before ! got some
strength, felt decided change in my
system, hope sprang up in my heart
and slowly but surely | got better. l
could sleep very well, the constant
craving for food ceased and | have
better health now than before the at
tack of peritonitis.

one appears from time to time. They

interest.

BETTER TO lNSTILL TRUTH
Parents Should Remember That Child
Is Unconsciously Influenced by
Surroundings.

In matters of truthfulness, as
with all other virtues, child is in
fuenced unconsciously by his sur
roundings and by the example of
those older than himself. In an at
mosphere of truth child gains a
respect for truth, and regards false
hood as a despicable shift. 1t is 9TH
erwise where children hear their par
ents lie with unblushing audacity,
and so great is the reverence of little
children for their parents that they
even look upon lying as a virtue,
since their parents set them the ex-
ample.
Thus, to train children in truth
fulness there must be parental ex-
ample. Small inaccuracies must be
corrected lest they develop into ex-
aggeration and lying. By means of
homely talks and anecdotes the
beauty and strength of truth might
be illustrated, and lying itself might
be shamcd into allegiance if it were
called by its proper name and not
disguised and softened under the
name Of white lie, fib or crammer

OrEN DEALING IN PAINT.

Buying paint used to be like the
proverbial buying of a pig in a
poke" Mixtures in which chalk,
ground rock, etc, predominated were
marked and sold as Pure White
Lead" the deception not being APP
parent until the paint and the paint
ing were paid for. This deception is
still practiced, but we have learned to
expose it easily.
National Lead Company, the larg.
est makers of genuine Pure White
Lead, realizing the injustice that was
being done to both property owners
and honest paint manufacturers, set
about to make paint buying safe.
They first adopted trade mark, the
now famous "Dutch-Boy Painter" and
put this trademark, as a guaranty OF
purity, on every package of their
White Lead. They then set about
familiarizing the public with the
blow-pipe test by which the purity
and genuineness of White Lead may
be determined, and furnished blow
pipe free to every one who would
write them for it. This action was in
itself guaranty of the purity of Ma
tional Lead Companys White Lead
AS the result of this open dealing
the paint buyer today has only HIM
self to blame if he is dcfrauded. For

painting, address National Lead Com

The finding of a strange looking bird

The finding of a strange looking bird in Palestine, last week, created quite bubble of excitement. After great deal of conjecture on the part of some of the inhabitants of the district as to whether it might not be young stork, it was decided to carry the bird to George W. Northrop, who is supposed o'be an ornithologist of no, mean ability. He too had never seen any thing like it, but thought it looked like species of blue heron. The bird was kept over right but seemed very restless and anxious to go, 80 it was put in a nearby brook the next morn- ing and quickly disappeared. The find CTS of the bird still adhere to the sup position, that it must have been a young stork which (while being found near the home of an elderly couple) may have lost,its way in the storm and are puzzled to know where it was bound for and will it yet reach its des- tination.
