An Old Painter's ldeas.
The Autumn season is coming
more and more to be recognized as a
most suitable time for house-paint-
ing.
There is no frost deep in the wood
to make trouble for even the best job
of painting, and the general season-
ing of the Summ has put the wood
into good condition in every way
The weather, moreover, is more like-

to thoroughly dry-—a very important

cheap mixtures, known as
‘White Lead’ and oil which has been
doctored with fish oil, benzine, corn-
oll, or other of the adulterants
known to the trade, are used, all the
precautions of the skilled painter are
useless to prevent the cracking and
peeling which make houses unsightly
in a year or so and, therefore, make
painting bills too frequent and costly.

My stomach was condition
that a simplel fruit, toast
and egg gave me great distress.
“1 was slow to believe that trouble
could come from such a simple diet,
but finally had to give it up, and
found a great change upon a cup of
hot Postum and Grape-Nuts with
cream, for my morning meal. For
more than a year I have held to this
course, and have not suffered except
when injudiclously varying my diet.
“1 have been a teacher for several
years and find that my easily digest-

gain of ten pounds in weight also
causes me to want to testify to the
value of Grape-Nuts,

our table.”
