NOT DRUGS
Food Did Il.

After using laxative and cathartic
medicines from childhood a case OF
chronic and apparently incurable con-
stipation yielded 70 the scientific
food, Grape-Nuts, in few days.
From early childhood | suffered
with such terrible constipation that I
had to use laxatives, continuously
going from one drug TO another and
suffering more or less all the time.
"A prominent physician whom l
consulted told me the muscles OF the
digestive organs were partially para
lyzed and could not perform their
work without help OF some kind. so
have tried at different times about
every laxative aud cathartlc known,
but found no help that was at all
permanent. I had finally become
discouraged and had given my case
up as hopeless when | began to use
the pre-digested food. Grape-Nuts.
Although | had not expected this
food to help my trouble. TO my great
surprise Grape-Nuts dIgested Imme-
diately from the first and In a few
days ! was convinced that this was
Just what my system needed.
1.-THE bowels performed their func-
lions regularly and | am now com
pletely and permanently cured OF
this awful trouble.

must be unlimited" There's a Rea-

ereases over March, 1908 and 1907
figures OF S.379.67s and 3,0SS,97s
head. All the larger centers, with
the exception Of st. Joseph and st
Paul, show figures in excess OF thoss
recorded for March, 1908. The in
crease Is due TO larger receipts dur
ing the month OF cattle, hogs anC
sheep. Receipts at the same markets
during the first quarter of the year
10,44g.993 head, were about 10 pc
cent below the corresponding receipts

blned' receipts of which. 9,SS5,9s9
bushels, were about 81 per cent be-
low those for the first quarter of
1908. The lighter export movements
from the ports in question. especially
in wheat and flour. accounts largely
for the smaller receipts.
Cotton.

cotton aggregated 76G. 59S bales, com

that reported for the preceding two

Anthracite.
The March shipments of anthracite
coal from eastern producing territory.

heaviest monthly movement on rec

of impending labor troubles. Figures
for the first quarter of the year, 16,-

Livestock receipts during the month

ably below like receipts during
March, 1908. Smaller totals are

This Question IL Important I'm Paint-
ing a House or other Building.
A proper color scheme is extremely
important in painting house. 1t
makes all the difference between
really attractive home, and one at
which you wouldn't take second
glance. And it makes big difference
in the price the property will bring on
the market.
As to the exterior, a good deal de-
pends upon the size and architecture
Of the house, and upon its surround
ings. For good interior effect you
must consider the size of the rooms,
the light, etc.
You can avoid disappointment by
studying the books Of color schemes
for both exterior and Interior painting,
which can be had free by writing Ma
ttonal Lead Company, 1902 Trinity
Building, New York. and asking for
Houseowner's Painting Outfit No, 40.
The outfit also includes specifications,
and simple instrument for testing
the purity of paint materials. Pure
White Lead which will stand the test
in this outfit will stand the weather
test. National Lead Company's famous
Dutch Boy Painter trademark on the
keg is a guarantee of that kind OF
| white lead.

Meanness Of a Jokes.


Some people cannot resist the tempta-
victims. A fend of that variety was
accosted by man who stammered
badly. Can you tell me where l can
get some g-g-g-g-good c-c-c-c-carpet
t-t-t-t-tasks? 2"
Yes. certainly" replied the inveter-
ate jokist. You turn down this street
to your left. then turn again to your
left and then go straight ahead. and
you'H find an ironmonger's where you'll
be sure to get them
The stammerer continued on his way
and the jolist bolted down the street
and tackled the ironmonger first.
Have you any gg-g-g-good t-t-t-t-
tint-t-t-tasks?"
Yes, sir" said the obliging man, pro-
ducing his best after some rummag-
ing.
Are you sure th-th-these are g-g-g-
good ones!"
Yes. The best that are made"
Are th-th-the heads st-st-strong?
Yes, sir
Have they g-g-g-g-got s-s-s-s-sharp
p-p-p-points?"
Certainly"
well, p-p-p-please s-s-s-sit on them
t-tt-till | get back. will you?" he said
making a dash for the door.
Presently the unlucky stammerer ar
rived and, entering, asked innocently:
Have you any egg good t-t-tin TIT
tacks"-
When he recovered he asked in a
somewhat dazed fashion whether the
house had fallen on him. or il il was
simply an explosion.
