Painting Ancient Obelisk With 8pecial Preparation Stay. ed Decay—Ruined Por- tions Restored. New Yorkers awoke one morning to find in their breakfast headlines the news that a zealous park employee had discovered signs of disintegration on the surface of the city’s most tteasured antique—Cleopatra’s Needle. Photo- graphs revealed that the monolith was peeling, large pleces of sandstone hav- ing fallen from the tall shaft, carrying with them part of the prized hlero- glyphs. London's twin sister of Cleopatra’s Needle was reported as resting com- fortably and enduringly on the banks of the Thames, and the rival port won- dered whether a preparation would be found to stay the attacks of thelr harsher climate, Such a preparation was soon forth- coming. A new paint combination as a preservative for stone was invented THE OBELISK. The Obelisk was presented to of New York by the Khedive of Lieutenant Coi mander Gorringe, 8. after a three yeal ., ed possession of it and moved it to its present position, at an expense of nearly the Ci ffixn?. ary 22, 1881. ‘The height of this monument, from base to tip, is 69 feet, 2 inches. The meas- urement of the base, mquare through fits axis, 18 7 feet, inches. The entire welght of the mono- Nth is 219% tons, Since it was quar- ried near the torrid zone, it has traversed the entire length of Egypt, most of that Mediterr: dis- tance of 6,400 miles— proving itself a first rate traveler for one whose age has ex- ceeded thirty-five centuries. 1n the course of its exist- ence It has seen Pharaoh and his host going to their de- struction In the Red Sea; Shishak march- ing to the Conquest of Jerusalem; Cam byses desolating the land: Herodotus, Platoand other Greek students eng:nged in ursuit ‘of tian ore; Alexander Great on his victori- ous expsadition through the land of Goshen; six and a half centuries of Roman sovereignty and Christian strug- gle at Alexandria; al the long line of M rulers since * Omar; and leaving alto- ether its nativeland, t stands looking u on the milllon dwel ers in this metropo! whose site was un- known to the Eastern world at a time when the Obelisk had been in existence for two thousand years. by Dr. Willlam Kuckro, chemist of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Many years previous coating with paraffin had been tried, but the application had not entirely accomplished its purpose. The new palnting process, however, proved a success. Disintegration was halted and the damaged parts restor- ed. New York breathed easily again. PAINT PROTECTION AND ITS ECONOMY. The preservation of structural ma- terials, which may be obtained through the application of paint, constitutes a most vital means of furthering the con- servation of our natural resources, Tt is, moreover, the most economical method of sustaining the appearance and general upkeep of any commu- nity. A structure coated with gheets of In- dla rubber would not be as well protect- ed from decay as a structure coated with a good oil paint. This Is due to the fact that a sheet of rubber is not so durable or as waterproof as a thin dried fiim of paint. The latter mate rial when applied dries to a continuous elastic film containing finely divided particles of metallle, wear resisting pigments, A square foot of such a film upon a wooden surface costs less than & penny, yet it will beautify and protect a dollar's worth of surface for many years. This Is a low rate of In- surance, Dwellings, barns, outbufldings, sheds, posts, fences, stock enclosures, wagons, implements, windmills and other struc- tures, whether of wood, iron or cement, should be preserved, through the use of paint, from rapid decay. High grade paint may be used sutcessfully for all such purposes., Colored palnts will be Yound the most seviceable, the coloring matter in the palnt adding from two to thres years to the life of the costing, HOW CLEOPATRA'S | Ever Notice 1t?

Many who were steadily going down hill to permanent illness and nervous breakdown have regained perfect health by taking Phosphated iron, the new blood and nerve food.

A prominent physician to whom. the above statements were submitted said: “Yes, Phosphated Iron i{s easily the most wonderful Iron prescription yet discovered, Its ingredients are. well known to all blood and nerve specialists and widely prescribed by them.

TUESDAY EVENING; APRIL 1, 1919 enty Acid-Stomach Steals Strength and Good Feelings From Millions One of the worst features of acid- stomach is that very often it literally starves its victims in the midst of plenty. And the strange thin, about it is that the 1Ee«:\ple w'th acid- stomachs seldom know what their trouble really is, No matter how good or wholesome the food may be, or how much they cat, they do not gain in strength. This is clearly explained by the fact that an acid-stomach cannot roperly digest food. Instead of ealthy, normal digestion, the excess acid causes the food to sour and fer- ment. Then when this mass of sour, fermented food, charged with excess acid, passes into the intestines, it be- comes the breeding place for all kinds of germs and toxic poisons, which in turn are absorbed into the blood and in this way distributed throughout the entire body. And that is exactly why it is thet so many thousands of people eat-and eat and keep on eating and yet are literally starving in the midst of plenty, Their acid-stomachs make it absolutely impossible for them to get the full measure of nour- ishment out of their food. And it doesn’t take long for this poor nour- ishment to show its ill effects in a weakened, emaciated body. Youmaysay: ‘‘My stomach doesn’t hurt me.”’ That may be true because many victims of acid-stomach do not actually suffer stomach pains. Then again, there are millions who do suffer afi kinds of aches and pains—head- aches, rheumatic twinges, gout, lum- bago, pains around the heart and in the chest—who never dream that an acid-stomach is the real cause of the trouble. . Naturally, the sensible thing to do is to strike right at the very cause of this trouble 2nd clean the excess acid out of the stomach. Thereis a quick, easy way to do this. A wonderful new remedy quickly removes the excess acid without the slightest dis- comfort. Itis EATONIC. Made in the form of tablets—they are good in eat—just like a bit of candy. They literally ‘absorb the injurious excess acid and carry it away through the intestines. They also drive the bloat out of the body—in fact you can fairly feelitwork. Makea testof EATONIC in your own case today. Get.a big box of EATONIC from your druggist. See for yourself how surely it brings quick relief in those painful attacks ofindigestion, bitter heartburn, belch- ing, disgusting food rcpeating, that awful bloated, lumpy feeling after eating and other stomach miseries. Banish all your stomach troubles so completely that you forget you have a stomach. Then you can eat whao you like and digest your food in com- fort without fear of distressing after effects, If EATONIC does notrelieve you, it will not cost you one penny. You can return it to yourdmggist and get your money back. So if you have the slightest question about your health —if you feel you are rot getting all the strength out of your food—if you are not feeling tip-tog.ready for your work, full of vim and vigor—do give EATONIC a fair trial this very da and see how much better you will feel P D K A E!
