FOOD FACTS
What an M. D. Learned.

A prominent Georgia physician went
through food experience which he
makes public:
"It was my own experience that first
led me to advocate Grape-Nuts food
and I also know, from having pre-
scribed 1t to convalescents and other
weak patients, that the food Is Won
derful builder and restorer of nerve
and brain tissue, as well as muscle. 1t
improves the digestion and sick pa
tients always gain just as l did in
strength and weight very rapidly.
II was in such low state that /
had to give up my work entirely, and
went to the mountains of this state,
but two months there did not improve
me; in fact ! was not quite as well as
when / left home.
my food did not sustain me and
1t became plain that | must change.
Then l began to use Grape-Nuts food
and in two weeks could walk mile
without fatigue, and in five weeks
returned to my home and practice,
taking up hard work again. Since that
time / have felt as well and strong as
/ ever did In my life.
"As a physician who seeks to help
all sufferers, I consider 1t duty to
male these facts public"
Trial 10 days on Grape-Nuts, when
the regular food does not seem to sus'
tain the body, will work miracles.
There's a Reason"

book, THE Road to Wellville."

WHAT coLoRs SHALL ! USER
This Question Is important in Painting
House or Other Building.

A proper color scheme is extremely
important in painting a house. 1t
makes all the difference between a
really attractive home and one at
which you wouldn't take a second
glance. And 1t makes big difference
in the price the property will bring on
the market.
AS to the exterior, a good deal de-
ponds 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.

Not long ago Miss Annabel Squlch of East Wind, Ind, asked us how to restore the pink glow of health to her cheeks, and Mrs. Henry Kidlow wanted to know how to polish a hardwood floor The answers be- came confused. Mrs. Kidlow need not bathe her floor with hot water at night and rub in cold cream, nor ap- ply bezoinated water, nor dust lightly with rouge. Miss Squlch, we trust, did not scrub her cheeks with sapolio, then apply filler of linseed oil and whiting and follow with two coats of brilliant varnish, then rub till smooth with a 40-pound brush The ladies will kindly trade instructions.

When to Send Children to Europe.

Some people wait so long before sending their children to Europe that the little ones are humiliated by others who have already been there. Every self-respecting parent will be careful not to subject his children to this evi- dent injustice; at the same time all unseemly hurry is to be avoided.
 Some people argue that as soon as a child can walk well and speak few necessary French words, he should be placed in a stateroom. next to a private bath, and sent to Paris. 9th CTS feel that he must naturally lose much at this age. and that the proper time is between five and six, when as an American-he has reached his maturity.
 Probably the ideal age is about four. At four child can easily do England, France and Italy, and get home in time for the first night at the opera Judges Library.

 Ice in July.

 In the summer of 1900 a party of surveyors was working through the state of Arkansas, surveying and To- eating the Midland Valley road. One day the surveying corps stopped at a farmhouse and shouted for the farmer.
 The Arkansan came out, and the surveyors asked him if they could get a drink
 Certainly, boys" he said. "Tll give you the best I've got, and the best I've got is buttermilk.'
 That will be fine the surveyors said, and the old farmer gave each of the gang glass of buttermilk.
 Its mighty good said one of the surveyors to McLoud.
 Yes. indeed" McLoud replied, but it would be better if we had some ice to put in it."
 Turning to the farmer, McLoud said, Have you any ice?"

FOOD QUESTION Settled with Perfect Satisfaction by Dyspeptic.

It's not an easy matter to satisfy all the members of the family at meal time as every housewife knows.
 And when the husband has dyspep- sia and cant eat the simplest ordinary food without causing trouble, the food question becomes doubly annoying.
 An Illinois woman writes:
 My husbands health was poor, he had no appetite for anything 1 could get for him, it seemed.
 He was hardly able to work, was taking medicine continually, and as soon as he would feel better would go to work again only to give up in a few weeks. He suffered severely with stomach trouble.
 Tired of everything I had been aple to get for him to eat, one day seeing an advertisement about Grape-Nuts, got some and tried it for breakfast the next morning.
 We all thought it was pretty go, although we had no idea of using it regularly. But when my husband came home at night he asked for Grape Nuts.
 Tt was the same next day and l had to get it right along, because when we would get to the table the question, Have you any Grape-Nuts' was reg uiar thing So l began to buy 1t by the dozen pkgs.
 My husbands health began to i'm prove right along. I sometimes felt offended when I'd make something l thought he would like for a change. and still hear the same old question, Have you any Grape-Nuts?'

Origin of Word "Bible."

The word bible is derived from the Latin name biblia, which was treated as a singular although it comes from the Greek neuter plural, meaning Tit tie books" This Greek diminutive was derived from byblus, or papyrus, the famous material on which ancient books were written. The title Bible" was first used about the middle of the second Christian century in the so- called second epistle of Clement (xiy., 9.
