cost depend largely upon the material
chosen. Paint is simple compound
and the ingredients can be easily test.

be White Lead. The liquid part
should &c Lnseed Oil. Those best in-
formed on painting always buy these
ingredients separately and hayo their
painter mix them fresh for each job.
Before the mixing the test is made.
Place a pea-sized bit Of White Lead
on piece Of charcoal or piece Of
wood. Blow the flame against 1t and
see what 1t will do. II it is pure
White Lead, little drops of bright, pure

COFFEE EYES.
II Acts Slowly But Frequently Pro-
duces Blindness.

The curious effect OF slow daily poi
eoning and the gradual building in of
disease as q result, Is shown in num-
bers of cases where the eyes are at.
fected by coffee.
A case In point will illustrate:
A lady in Oswego. Mont. expert.
enced a slow but sure disease settling
upon her eyes in the form OF increas-
ing weakness and shooting pains
with wavy, dancing lines Of light, so
vivid that nothing else could be seen
for minutes at time.
She says:
This gradual failure OF sight
alarmed me and | naturally began a
very earnest quest for the cause.
About this time | was told that cof-
fee poisoning sometimes took that
form. and while didn't believe that
coffee was the cause Of my trouble, I
concluded to quit It and see.
II took up Postum Food Coffee In
spite OF the Jokes of Husband whose
experience with one cup at neigh
boris was unsatisfactory. Well, I
made Postum strictly according to O.
rections, boiling 1t little longer, be-
cause Of our high altitude. The result
was charming. I have now used Pos
tum in place Of coffee for about 8
months and my eyes are well, never
paining me or showing any weakness.
| know to a certainty that the cause
Of the trouble was coffee and the cure
was In quitting It and building up the
nervous system on Postum, for that
was absolutely the only change made
In diet and took no medicine.
MY nursing baby has been kept In
a perfectly healthy state since have
used Postum.
