COMPLAINTS ABOUT PAINT.

The time to complain about paint
Is before the painter applies It. The
C,an who puts up the money should
not shirk the responsibility Of choos.
ing the paint. True, the painter
ought to know paint better than the
banker, the professional man or the
merchant. The trouble Is, the house,
owner too often deliberately bars the
competent and honest painter from
the Job by accepting bid which he
ought to know would make an honest
Job impossible. q
Secure your bids on the basis Of
National Lead Company's pure White
Lead and pure Linseed Oil and see
that you get these materials.
No one need be fooled by adulter-
ated white lead. A blowpipe testing
outfit will be mailed to anyone inter.
ested in paint.

bush avenue, near Avenue /, Flat.
bush. w. Thompson Lees is the tree
dweller
A wooden stairway winds around
the trees trunk leading to the single
chamber above, allowing an easy as.
cent to be made. The entire structure
is made of wood and was designed by
young Lees and his chum, Vail Apple
gate, freshman at Dartmouth col.
lege. The boys built the house lit.
tie more than two years ago, but it is
only lately that they have converted
1t into a sleeping place.
At first their intention was simply
to build crows nest" where they
could seclude themselves on rainy aft
ernoons and days when it was too hot
for active exercise. The crows nest"
did not prove to be large enough, so
the boys added a large platform
which forms what they call their
piazza. This piazza is roomy enough
for an ordinary sized dining-room
table and comfortably accommodates
six or eight diners.
After Lees and Applegate had the
house completed their parents took an
interest in it. They recognized that
it would be fine place to sit in the
warm weather. Mrs. Lees suggested
that stairway be added to enable the
older folk to climb to the tree top. 1t
took the boys three months to build it.
1t was last summer that Lees and
Applegate decided that they would
like to see how it would feel to sleep
out in the open. They covered the
top of the house with panes of glass
and this gave them all the light, day
or night, they needed. The trial
worked so well tina they declared that
thereafter they would, while the
weather was warm, sleep in the tree.

CHANGE IN FOOD

It is worth knowing that a change
In food can cure dyspepsia. II deem
It my duty to let you know how Grape
Nuts food has cured me of indigestion.
II had been troubled with 1t for
years, until last year my doctor recon-
mended Grape-Nuts food to be used
every morning. followed instruc:
tions and now am entirely well.
1.-THE whole family like Grape-Nuts,
we use four packages week. You
are welcome to use this testimonial
as you see f1t."
The reason this lady was helped by
the use of Grape-Nuts food, Is that 1t
is predigested by natural processes
and therefore does not tax the stom-
ach as the food she had been using;
1t also. contains the elements required
for building up the nervous system.
II that part of the human body is in
perfect working order. there can be no
dyspepsia, for nervous energy repre-
sents the steam that drives the engine.
When the nervous system is run
down, the machinery of the body
works badly. Grape-Nuts food can be
used by small children as well as
adults. 1t Is perfectly cooked and
ready for instant use.

How He Got Rid of Rats.

A farmer describes his method of
clearing the premises of rats in the
following manner: "On large num-
ber of old shingles put half-tea-
spoonful Of treacle each, and on that
with my pocket knife l scraped a
small amount of concentrated lye. I
then placed the old shingles around
under the stable floors and under the
cribs. The next morning l found 40
dead rats, and the rest left the farm
for parts unknown. l have cleared
many farms of the pests in the same
way, and have never known 1t to fail" !"

COUNTING a Billion.

Speaking of counting the hairs Of
your head-suppose you undertook to
count billion. how lcng do you think
It would take you to do it? A billion,
according to the French notation,
which we follow, is q thousand mil
lions. If you had before you pile
of silver dollars containing a million,
and could count one every second, for
eight hours every day, it would take
you IS days to complete the task. But
suppose you undertook to count a
thousand OF those million-dollar piles
you would be at work eight. hours a

WEIGHT SCALE IS ALL WRONG
Year shows Racing Rules Need Much
Revision.

NEW YORK, Oct. 8.-With another such
racing season as 1903 there will have to be
a revision OF the weight scale. This year
the s-year-olds have demonstrated that It
is all wrong. They have been giving the
older horses actual weight and beating
them with painful regularity, and maturity
now seems to have been reached at the
third year ana deerepitude begun in the
fourth.
Ballot, Frank gill and Jack Atkin are
about the only ones in the older division
that have shown anything worth while,
and even they have failed to represent the
older division as 1t was represented years
ago. when a S-year-old victory over older
horses was the exception and not the rule.
Three-year-olds have been victors in al
most every big fixture Of the year, and
the victories came early, when Celt, Fair
Play and Master Robert, all 3-year-olds
filled the placed positions in the running
Of tile Brooklyn Handicap Ballot Won the
Suburban. but It was King James and Fair
Play, a pair Of 3-year-olds. that finished
second aud third.
Dandelion was the only one OF the other
older lot to go to the post for the mile and a
