FRIENDLY TIP
Restored Hope and Confidence.

After several years of Indigestion
and its attendant evil influence on the
mind, it is not very surprising that
one finally loses faith in things gen
orally.
AN. Y. woman writes an interesting
letter She says:
Three years ago 1 suffered from
an attack of peritonitis which left me
in a most miserable condition. For
over two years l suffered from nerv.
business, weak heart, shortness OF
breath, could not sleep, etc.
my appetite was ravenous, but !
felt starved all the time. had plenty
of food but it did not nourish me
because of intestinal indigestion. Med
ical treatment did not seem to help,
l got discouraged, stopped medicine
and did not care much whether lived
or died.
zone day a friend asked me why l
didn't try Grape-Nuts, stop drinking
coffee, and use Postum. 1 had lost
faith in everything, but to please my
friends / began to use both and soon
became very fond of them.
ut wasn't long before I got some
strength, felt decided change in my
system, hope sprang up in my heart
and slowly but surely 1 got better. l
could sleep very well, the constant
craving for food ceased and l have
better health now than before the at
tack of peritonitis.

HIS OPINION or FIELDING.

A young broker in Boston, while Wis.

not long ago, encountered a number
OF young women graduates whose con-
versation suddenly turned to a dis.
cussion of the development of the
English novel.
The dealer in stocks and bonds
speedily found himself "out of it."
Presently. during a lull, one young
woman asked him:
What do you think of Fielding Mr..
Brown
"Oh, fielding is important, of course, "
quickly responded the broker, "but
it isn't worth much unless you've got

A Young Mems Christian Associa
ton building that cost to build and
equip more than a million dollars is
to be opened in Philadelphia this fall
with Walter M. Wood of Chicago in
charge as secretary. An effort is to be
made to recruit the membership to

number of boys may have the bene-
fits of the new structure. Philadel
phians are proudly pointing to the
eight-story building in Arch street as
one Of the three finest Young Mems
Christian Association homes in the
world, the other two being the
Twenty-third street branch, in New
York, and the central building in Chi

OPEN DEALING IN PAINT.

Buying paint used to be like the
proverbial buying of "pig in a
poke" Mixtures in which chalk,
ground rock, etc, predominated were
marked and sold as Pure White
Lead" the deception not being APP
parent until the paint and the paint
ing were paid for. This deception is
still practiced, but we have learned to
expose it easily.
National Lead Company, the larg-
est makers of genuine Pure White
Lead, realizing the injustice that was
being done to both property owners
and honest paint manufacturers, set
about to make paint buying safe.
They first adopted trade mark, the
now famous "Dutch-Boy Painter" and
put this trademark, as a guaranty of
purity, on every package of their
White Lead. They then set about
familiarizing the public with the
blow-pipe test by which the purity
and genuineness of White Lead may
be determined, and furnished a blow
pipe free to every one who would
write them for it. This action was in
itself a guaranty of the purity of Ma
tional Lead Company's White Lead.
AS the result of this open dealing
the paint buyer to-day has only him
self to blame if he is defrauded For

painting, address National Lead Com
