Psalm Of the Kicker.

Let us each be up and kicking,
For this life would seem too slow
IL we weren't somehow picking
Quarrels as We onward go.
Let's Investigate our neIghbor
With suspicious ever new,
Though we quite forget the labor
That We ought ourselves TO do.
There is nothing that shall swerve US
From contention and from strife.
Making other people nervous

A SIMPLE SAFEGUARD IN BUYING
PAINT.

Everybody should know how simple

market, which contain chalk, zinc,
barytes, and other cheap adulterants.
Unless the property owner takes ad.
vantage of the simple means of pro-
lection afforded him by reliable white
lead manufacturers, he runs great risk
of getting an inferior and adulterated
white lead.

MOTHER AND CHILD
Both Fully Nourlshed on Grape.Nuts.

The value OF this famous food is
shown in many ways, in addition to
what might be expected from Its chem.
ical analysis.
Grape.Nuts food is made of whole
wheat and barley, is thoroughly baked
for many hours and contains all the
wholesome ingredients in these CO.
reals.
1t contains also the phosphate of
potash grown in the grains, which Ma
ture uses to build up brain and nerve
cells.
Young children require proportions
ately more of this element because the
brain and nervous system OF the child
grows so rapidly,
A Va. mother found the value OF
Grape Nuts in not only building up her
own strength but in nourishing her
baby at the same time. She writes:
After my baby came | did not re-
cover health and strength, and the
doctor said could not nurse the baby
as | did not have nourishment for her
besides | was too weak.
"He said | might try a change Of

him from beneath a poke" bonnet,
"can you tell me how far 1t is TO the

response.
