CHANGE IN FOOD
Works Wonders In Health.

It is worth knowing that a change
in food can cure dyspepsia. 81 deem
it my duty to let you know how Grape
Nuts food has cured me of indigestion.
II had been troubled with it for
years, until last year my doctor recon-
mended Grape-Nuts food to be used
every morning. I followed instruc-
tons and now am entirely WELL
THE whole family like Grape-Nuts,
We use four packages a week. You
are welcome to use this testimonial
rs you see fit"
The reason this lady was helped by
the use of Grape-Nuts food, is that it
Is predigested by natural processes
and therefore does not tax the stom-
ach as the food she had been using;
t also contains the elements required
for building up the nervous system.
If 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
Ised by small children as well as
adults. It is perfectly cooked and
ready for instant use.

THOUGHT 1T NATIONAL TRAIT.
Driver Couldn't Understand American
Not Being in a Hurry.

A traveller returned from Jaffa tells
tale at his own expense. Having
journeyed to the historical seaport on
his way to Jerusalem, he succeeded
in hiring conveyance to carry him
to the station. BY speech and gesture
he informed the native driver that he
wished to be carried in a leisurely
sightseeing fashion through as many
as possible Of the principal thorough
fares of Jaffa, and to be delivered at
the terminal just in time to take the
outgoing train.
lie had no sooner seated himself in
the vehicle, however, than the driver
whipped up his horse and whirled the
dismayed traveller at a furious pace
through all the dust and over all the
stones Of the VIGOROUSLY rough streets
Of Jaffa. The passenger was too bus
lily employed in saving his bones to be
able to see anything of the interesting
town.
Arriving at the station, he found
that he still had two hours to wait.
why in the world" he demanded,
Indignantly, did you ever hurry like
that?"
you American" responded the
driver, with an expressive shrug. "All

erful magnifying glass he is able to
read the records of person talking.
It is the belief of certain scientists
that these voice photographs eventually
will take the place Of writing and al
phabets altogether. Stenography, too,
would be abolished. Instead Of writ.
ing letter the sender would talk into
the microphone, pull out the strip Of
zigzags when through and post it.
Forgery would be out of the question,
for it is absolutely impossible to de-
ceive the electric needle, which faith
fully records every shade of tone. For
books and newspapers the idea is to
have a conventional imitation of zig.
gags of the various vowels and con.
sonants in the form of type, which will
be set in lines like ordinary print
ed matter. Telephone conversations
would be as binding as a written con.

COMPLAINTS ABOUT PAINT.

The time to complain about paint
is before the painter applies it. The
man 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 a bid which he
ought to know would make an honest
job impossible.
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.

THE STORY.

EEgISTFULLY, and with a great

her vantage ground behind the bushes
watched the gay cavalcade start. She
bad slipped out unobserved, for all the
household had gathered to bid good

servants and soldiery was starting for
the land Of Israel.
"Oh, am so glad he is going!" ex-
claimed the little maid to herself, but
but ] wish were going, too" And
she began to cry softly to herself, as
she had done many and many night
since she had been seized by the
Syrian band during one of their raids
into Israel, and had been taken into
this strange land and sold to this
great general.
True, they had been kind to her, but
she could not forget her home away
back there in Israel. She wanted to
see mamma once more and her broth.
ers and sisters. And as she watched
her master depart the impulse came
To rush forth and beg him to take her
back to her home, but as quickly came
the realization that she was only a
slave girl, and could ask no favors, and
with a low moan she sank back in
her place. But the one comfort which
she had had in her loneliness-the
thought that the God of Israel whom
her mother had taught her to rever-
ence and love would not forget her
came now to help and cheer her, and
she crept from her hiding place and
slipped back into the house.
More than once during the days
which followed the story of Joseph
came to her as it had been told to
her By her mother, and she had said,
over and over again:
"God remembered Joseph, and he

And there she was content TO
