FOR HOME IMPROVEMENT.
Necessity of Harmonious Co-Opera-
tion on Part of All Citizens.

Towns in agricultural districts ap-
parently are awakening to the impor-
lance of organizing clubs and ~associa-
lions for the purpose of public i'm
provements and the protection of
home industries. The field for work
is broad. 1t is the business of the
town that makes the place of impor-
lance. Any institution that will give
employment to labor, that will bring
more people and more capital to any
town is a thing to be desired. Many
towns in which commercial clubs have
been lately organized, have a wide
field in the simple matter of keeping
the people of the town and surround
ing country from sending money to
other cities for supplies of various
kinds that can as well be purchased
at home. Every dollar sent to a mail
order house OF department store in
another city impoverishes the town
just so much. 1t is the business men
of the small towns who pay the taxes.
support the churcheo and schools. not
the far-off mail-order house, and they
are deserving of all the trade of their
home place. Don't try to bring new
business establishments to you town
until local evils are remedied.

WHY THEY SLEEP IN CHURCH.
Hypnotism, Not Drowsiness, Declared
to Be the Cause.

"Churchgoers don't sleep in church.
They undergo an hypnotic trance.
The soothing voices and mild music
and monotonous recitative of a church
service put forth powerful hypnotic
influences, and that is why the pews
resemble a railroad track in the
abundance of their sleepers."
The speaker, a hypnotist, banged
the table vehemently.
Don't laugh" he said. Its true.
Hypnotism, not drowsiness, is what
makes you sleep in church. Through
your auditory nerve. sound waves are
passed to your brain that are as eff
fective as though a professional hyp-
notist had made them. Sound, you
know, is the newest and best hyp-
motto.
"At first, in the church service, the
periOdicity of the wave alterations is
short. There is a little speaking,
then more music. And just when you
are getting properly lulled the clergy
man, in a m%odulated, agreeable, sooth-
ing voice, speaks On and or and on
and O begin to nod. You are, hyp.
notically speaking, e%ntranced.
THE average church service is Q
scientifically correct hypnotic instru-
ment. No wonder, then, it puts many
Of us to Sleep"

first engagement, when the order was
given to retreat, you were so scared
that you threw down your arms and
ran for dear life"
Nonsense" replied the other.
THAT was the time I got the three
flesh wounds in the chest. If I'd been
running away, as you claim, 1 would
have been shot in the back"
ooh, no, you wouldn't" returned his
friend. "The reason you got shot in
the chest was because you took to
the river and were trying to get away

DO YOU KNOW
WHAT WHITE LEAD IS?
its Chief Use and a Method Of Deter.
mining Good from Bad Explained.

White Lead Is the standard paint
material all rel the world. 1t is made
by c%orroding metallic lead into a white
powder, through exposing it to the
fumes of weak acetic acid and carbonlc
acid gas; this powder is then ground
and mixed with linseed oil, making a
thick paste, in which form it is packed
and sold for painting purposes. The
painter thins it down to the proper
consistency for application by the ad-
dition of more linseed oil.
The above refers, of course, to pure,
genuine White Lead only. Adulterated
and fake white Lead" of which there
are many brands on the market, is
generally some sort Of composition
containing only a percentage of white
lead; sometimes nc White Lead at all;
in such stuff, barytes or ground rock,
chalk, and similar cheap substances
are used to make bulk and initiate the
appearance of pure White Lead.
There is, however, a positive test by
which the purity or impurity of White
Lead may be proved or exposed, be-
fore painting with it.
The blow-pipe flame will reduce
pure white lead to metallic lead. If
a supposed white lead be thus tested
and it only partially reduces to lead,
leaving a residue, it is proof that
something else was there besides
white lead.
The National Lead Company guar
antee all White Lead sold in packages
bearing it's Dutch Boy Painter trade
mark to prove absolutely pure under
this blow-pipe test, and that you may
make the test yourself in your own
home, they will send free upon re-
quest a blow-pipe and everything else
necessary to make the test, together
with a valuable booklet on paint. Ad-

Tricks in the Soap Business.

Soap is n of the staples for which
there is a heavy demand. There are
numerous standard brands in the
market, all of which are time-tested
and not found lacking in good quail

people are never disappointed in. But
some who are looking for bargains
are willing to try anything new tina,
comes up, if it be only recommended
by some friend or widely advertised
One of the latest soap deals, which
by the way is an old game in a new
dress, is to offer bargains in soar

brands and at one-third the cost. A
fattering offer is made 10 the house

an extra box is given with every two

HAPPY OLD G
Most Likely to Follow Proper Eating.

AS old age advances, we require less
food to replace waste, and food that
will not overtax the digestive organs,
while supplying true nourishment.
Such an ideal food is found in Grape
Nuts, made of whole wheat and barley
by long baking and action of diastase
in the barley which changes the starch
into sugar.
The phosphates also, placed up un-
der the bran-coat of the wheat, are in.
cluded in Grape-Nuts, but left out of
white flour. They are necessary to
the building of brain and nerve cells.
Il have used Grape-Nuts," writes an
Iowa man, "for s years and feel as good
and am stronger than 1 was ten years
ago. l am over IA years old, and at
tend to my business every day.
Among my customers meet a man
every day who is 80 years old and at
tributes his good health to the use of
Grape-Nuts and Postum which he has
used for the last S years. He mixes
Grape-Nuts with Postum and says they
go fine together.
For many years before I began to
eat Grape-Nuts, I could not say that
l enjoyed life or knew what it was to
be able to say I am WE'LL l suffered
greatly with constipation, now my hab-
Its are as regular as ever in my life.

Origin of the Elevator,

The elevator originated in Central
Europe. The earliest mention of the
elevator is made in a letter of Ma.
poleon l. addressed to his wife, Arch.
duchess Maria Louise. He writes to
her that when in Schoenbrunn, then
the summer residence of the Austrian
emperor, near Vienna, he used the
"chaise volante" flying chair in that
castle which had been constructed for
Empress Maria Theresa. 1t consisted
of a small, square room, sumptuously
furnished with hangings of red silk
and suspended by strong ropes with
counter weights, so that it could be
pulled up or let down with great ease
in a shaft built for the purpose
about 1850.

as much as did the first box of Cuti-
