Why We Are Stronger.

The old Greeks and Romans were
great admirers of health and strength: !:
their pictures and statuary made the
muscles of the men stand out like
cords.
AS a matter of fact we have ath-
letes and strong men-men fed on
fine strength making food such as
Quaker Scotch Oats-that would win
in any contest with the old Roman or
Greek champions.
It's matter of food. The finest food
for making strength of bone, muscle
and nerve is fine oatmeal. Quaker
Scotch Oats is the best because it is
pure, no husks or stems or black
specks. Farmers wives are finding
that by feeding the farm hands plenti-
fully on Quaker Scotch Oats they get
the best results in work and economy.
If you live in a hot climate buy Quaker
Scotch Oats in hermetically sealed
tins. 1t keeps sweet and fresh. 2

Reluctantly, Mrs. Citizen went out

been living like pair of Moros, never
to have thought of this new arrange

Gittem jumped into bed. while Mrs.
Gittem was still jimmying with those
queer-looking sewdads women put
their hair up in nights. Tired more
than ordinary by his recent exertions
he was soon sleeping along on the
fourth gear.
Then, by and by, Mrs. Citizen
crawled from under the covers. II
Gittem had been awake he would have
noticed that she fidgeted for a long
time, and that sleep didn't overtake
her worth cent.

dresser this way. I've been lying here
thinking about that-couldn't help it.
You'll have to move things back the
way they were, or I'll stay awake all
night"
Without going into what Gittem
said, it is enough to know that the
people down below heard the rude
rumble of furniture and the thud, thud
of pair of feet few moments later.
Then after everything was back in its
original place, the Citizens went on to

Women in Postal Service.

The distinction of first appointing a
woman postmaster does not belong to
America, nor is the employment of
women in the postal service new
idea. AS early as 154S woman post
master was appointed to look after
the mails of Braine lie Comte, an i'm
portant town of France. In the try
ing times of the Thirty Years war,
the principal Office in the postal serv-
ice of Europe was held by woman,
AleXandrine de Rue. From 1923 to
1916 she was in charge of the mails
of the German empire, the Neither
lands, Burgundy and Lorraine. She
was known as master general of the
mails. In America, Elizabeth Harvey
was the first to hold a place in the
postal department. She had charge
of the letters in Portsmouth, N. H., in
the beginning of the seventeenth CEN
tury A half century afterward Lydia
Hill was placed in charge of the post
Office in Salem, Mass.

WHAT is PAInT7

The paint on house is the extreme
outside of the house. The wood is
simply a structural under layer. That
is as it should be. Unprotected wood
will not well withstand weather. But
paint made of pure white lead and
linseed oil is an inEulnerable armor
against sun and rain, heat and cold.
Such paint protects and preserves,
fortifying the perishable wood with a
complete metallic casing.
And the outside of the house is the
looks of the house. A well-construct.
ed building may be greatly depre-
ciated by lack Of painting or by poor
painting.
National Lead Company have made
it possible for every building owner
to be absolutely sure of pure white
lead paint before applying. They do
this by putting upon every package
of their white lead their Dutch Boy
Painter trademark. That trademark
is complete guarantee.

anything else" suggested Gittem
Don't you think you better let your
dinner settle for minute?"
7 Mrs. Gittem paced about nervously
and heaVed sighs of impatience for an
hour or SO, but Gittem was busy with
his papers and his ten-cent magazine
and didn't seem to notice. Then the
first thing they knew it was bedtime.
We'll have to move those things
around now," sighed Mrs. Gittem.
Better wait till morning, hadn't
we?" asked Gittem. "Get the people
on the floor below all sore on us if we
go showing furniture around now,
won't we?"
But Mrs. Gittem had her heart and
head set on seeing how things would
look all moved about the other way.
She said If they put 1t off until morn
ing he would gulp down his coffee and
rations and rush to the office and the
change never would be effected.
Are you sure we'n get good ventil-
alton about the bed, with it moved
over there?" asked Gittem.
Ventilation! Why, that's just the
trouble. We can't get any fresh air
from those windows now at all. That's
why I want to change things around"
OF course it was up to Citizen to
stop arguing and go ahead if he
wanted any peace and tranquility in
the Gittem household
After he finished the job Mrs. Git
tenn surveyed the effect of the change
