CARE OF THE KITCHEN.
ciean Walls Are an Essential te
lfI' Sanitary Cooking.

1t is not only important to know
how to cook, but it Is equally impor-
tant to know where to cook. Cook
ing in dirty kitchen can never pro
duce good food. The idea Is simply
preposterous. yet kitchen walls are
left for months-sometimes for years
without cleansing.
In the first place the kitchen wall
should have light tint that the mer-
est feck Of dirt can be seen: that the
sheerest cobweb can be brushed
away; that the tinlest water bug can
be discerned. 1t is all folly expecting
clean food in a kitchen with dirty
walls.
Never put a wall coating on a
kitchen wall that Is mixed with hot
water or that has glue In 1t. or sour
milk in 1t IL mixed with cold water.
Glue walls made from horses hoofs
colored up with cheap colorings do
not Indicate good housekeeping. The
glue is constantly hecking of, fall
ing into the food and the idea OF food
favored with glue made from horses
hoofs is not appetizing.
Kitchen walls to be thoroughly sat
isfactory should be alabastined the
same as every other wall in the
house. They should be coated regu-
larly In the spring and fall Of each
year with light tint.
The care of the pantry requires
constant attention. The walls should
be brushed over every year. the
dishes removed from the shelves
which should be thoroughly wiped
with hot water II there are ant
holes or any other insects in the pan
tries a thick putty of the wall coat
ing can be made and all the ant holes.
even small mice holes can be filled
with it which will protect the pantry
from the incursions OF disagreeable
insects and mice.

When Woolsey recognized him as the
man with whom he had quarreled he
grasped the hand of his old enemy
and exclaimed
God bless you, Samuel Sellen.
Won't you forgive me for the wrong l
did you years ago? You shall be re-
imbursed for all the old lawsuit cost
you
"Yes, I will forgive you,' replied
Sellen, wringing Woolsey' hand, "and
you need not pay me either"
Woolsey insisted upon paying the
money. however. The men now live
in different parts of the state.

for several days afterward he strut

them.
But at the end OF the week he ap-

PURE FOOD.
No Food Commissioner Of Any State
Has Ever Attacked the Absolute
Purity of Grape-Nuts.

Every analysis undertaken shows
this food to be made strictly of Wheat
and Barley, treated by our processes
to partially transform the starch
parts into a form Of Sugar, and there
fore much easier to digest.
Our claim that it is "Food for
Brain and Nerve Centres" is based
upon the fact that certain parts of
Wheat and Barley (Which We use) con-
tain Natures brain and nervebuilding
ingredients. VIZ: Phosphate Of Pot
ash. and the way We prepare the food
makes 1t easy to digest and assimilate.
DR.. Geo. w. Carey in his book on
THE Biochemic System OF Medicine"
says:
when the medical profession fully
understands the nature and range of
the phosphate of potassium. insane
asylums will no longer be needed.
THE gray matter of the brain is
controlled entirely by the inorganic
cell-salt. potassium phosphate.
This salt unites with albumen, and
by the addition Of oxygen creates nerve
fluid, or the gray matter Of the brain.
"Of course, there is a trace OF other
salts and other organic matter in
nerve-f1uid, but potassium phosphate
is the chief factor. and has the power
within itself to attract. by its own law
of affinity, all things needed to manu-
facture the elixir of life. Therefore,
when nervous symptoms arise, due to
the fact that the nerve-huid has been
exhausted from any cause, the phos-
phate of potassium is the only true
remedy. because nothing else can
possibly supply the deficiency.
The ills arising from too rapidly
consuming the gray matter OF the
brain cannot be overestimated.
phosphate OF Potash, is to my
mind, the most wonderful curative
agent ever discovered by man, and
the blessings it has already conferred
on the race are many. But what
shall the harvest be- when physicians
everywhere fully understand the part
this wonderful salt plays in the
processes of life? 1t will do as much
as can be done through physiology to
make heaven on earth.
Let the overworked business man
take it and go home good-tempered.
Let the weary wife, nerves unstrung
from attending to sick children or en-
tertaining company. take it and note
how quickly the equilibrium will be
restored and calm and reason assert
her throne. No 'provings' are required
here. We, find this potassium salt
largely predominates in nerve-fluid,
and that a deficiency produces we'll
defined symptoms. The beginning and
end of the matter is to supply the
lacking principle. and in molecular
form, exactly as nature furnishes it in
vegetables, fruits and grain. To sup
ply defciencies-this is the only law
OF cure"
Please observe that Phosphate of
Potash is not properly Of the drug
shop variety but is best prepared by
"Old Mother Nature" and stored in
the grains ready for use by mankind.
Those who have been helped to better
health by the use of Grape-Nuts are
legion.
There's Reason"

and when one was not scratching the

from the rear. The contest lasted ten
minutes, and although both girls had
their clothing torn and one had been
thrown into the water they forced the
man to flee.
That night one of the girls told the

AS YET UNKNOWN TO FAME.

from Philosopher :

Louis Jones of the Grand opera

had 'em, too. Neither knew Just why
he had 'em. but they had em just the
same. They talked of the weather,
the times and a dozen other gloomy
subjects. There was nothing sunny
In the soul Of a patron or barber.
Finally both sighed in concert and a
silence fell over the shop-yes. over a
barber shop. The colored man was
the first to speak. After several mo-
ments OF silence he gave vent to an
other sigh and said:
well. as de old philosopah says:
EFF yo' aIn't got nothin. now's yo'
