Getting Better of Commonplace

Steady-going goodness is harder
than spectacular heroism. 1t calls for
more endurance and more character
to hold to the highest standards of
life in the commonplace of every day
routine than to nerve oneself up for u
single and exceptional effort. The
five-mile run is more exhausting than
the 100-yard dash. Yet this pro.
longed and severer test of every day
living is the only true test. and it is
the one which we must all meet.
Moreover, the best way to be ready
for the emergency test, when II
comes, is to live through the common
day in the red-letter-day spirit. No
day was common to Christ, nor will
1t be to those who make every day
His.-sunday-School Times.

a white powder, through exposing It

purposes. The painter thins It down
to the proper consistency for applica-

The above refers, OF course, to

HAPPY OLD AGE
Most Likely to Follow Proper Eating.

AS old age advances, we require
less food to replace waste, and food
that will not overtax the digestive Or
Eans, while supplying true nourish-
ment.
Such an ideal food Is found in
Grape-Nuts, made of whole wheat
and barley by long baking and action
OF diastase in the barley which
changes the starch into sugar.
The phosphates also, placed up I'M
der the bran-coat of the wheat, are
included in Grape-Nuts, but left out
OF white -four. They are necessary
to the building Of brain and nerve
cells.

and attributes his good health to the

Cleaning q Covert Coat.

To clean a covert coat, a good
method is that of sponging 1t with a
mixture made of six ounces of water,
an ounce of hartshorn and an ounce
of sulphuric ether. The coat should
then be sponged with water, covered
with damp cloth and ironed. Grease
marks on white silk blouses can often
be successfully removed by means Of
dry magnesia, while in the case Of
colored silk, fuller's earth is good
medium, and pure soap and water
can be safely employed in the case Of
white silk.-Philadelphia Record.
