LETTER TO G. F. SCOTT.
Barre. Vt.

Dear Sir-Paint is one of the things
that Railroad Companies know all
about, DO you know what "all
about" means? 1t means, in paint,
where to get it.
We sell the paint for two thirds of
the cars and stations and bridges and
everything else that railroad men
want to keep good looking and sound,
all over the country.
A man who wants gallon or two of
paint knows nothing about it; buys
whatever is handy, or gets some
painter to "make" it.
A Railroad Company asks It's chem.
list: (Which is the best?"
The cheapest thing, to preserve Or
beautlfy anything with, is paint. So
the whole world is painted, except, of
course, the part of it owned by poor
slow folks.
And the paint they use is people S
intelligence meter; or ignorance
meter; tells how much or how little
they know.

voc lead and zinc IS the pai-t, because
1t wears twice as long.

PAINE'S CELERY
COMPOUND
Is Daily Saving Precious Lives
After Pronounced Failures
of Physicians.

The months just passed OF the pres
ent wear have brought bereavement
and dark clouds Of sorrow to many
homes in our land. Fathers, mothers,
sisters, and brothers have been for
ever removed by the grim reaper,
death. The large ma )rity OF such
could have been saved bad their
friends given them Pane's Celery
Compound, instead Of the worthless
medicines the sick were forced TO
swallow.
In many families a too slavish ODE
dience to medical dictation kept the
true life saver from the SICK and dy'
ing ones. Past records Of marvellous
cures and victories wrought by Paine's
Celery Compound were ignored by
medical men; in word, it was un-
professional in their estimation to in.
troduce the life giving Compound.
All. Remorse is now dong it's
quiet but effective work, and those
most closely interested are suffering
for their neglect.
VIII you, dear reader, allow some
d ear relative or friend to pass from
life without making an effort to save
the pei ishing one by Paine's Celery
Compound? The virtues and powers
Of DR.. Phelps prescription are Won
d ously far reaching and mighty
Even though your friends have
suffered long, and have come to that
point where the physician is helpless
to save, even then, there is blessed
hope If taine's Celery Compound is
used.
The desperate cases cured in the
past and the number of precious lives
saved, is the bright, the living proof,
that Paine's Celery Compound makes
sick people we'll.

CHILD KIDNAPPED
Continued from Page l..

pelier most OF the time since, W. rk-
.ng at. several OF the hotels. The
man Richardson has lived and worked
In and obout Plainfeld and Mont
,peliar for year or SO, being employed
as section hand.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Fordham have
occasionally visited at Burroughs.
Last March they had slight quarrel
as to who should have the custody Of
Roy, the missing boy. Mrs. Ford
ham has a petition for divorce that
will c. me before the June term Of
Orange county court.
FOrdham's last visit to Burroughs
was April 20 Mrs. Fordham was
there last N,,k, leaving Friday for
Montpelier. Mrs Fordham and Mrs.
Burroughs seem to think that Roy
has been kidnapped but give no good
reason for so thinking
The search has already been thor
ough and extensive. The roadsides
for two miles have been beaten by a
line Of so men placed IL feet apart,
and individual searchers have covered
much larger territory. Today
searchers are gathering in from dis
tant places and the hunt still goes On.
The missing boy was bareheaded
and barefooted when he left home.
He was 4 years old last February, is
rosy checked and plump, with dark
eyes and rather light hair. There is
scar over his left eye, in the edge Of
his hair, about as large as thumb
nail, where the hair is gone. 1t was
ca sed by a burn.
The missing child was subject to
fits until within a year, and many
people think he has simply wandered
away and been taken with an attack
of this nature. but they cannot ex
plain why the body has not been
found unless it has been devoured by
some animal. The cold weather and
exposure must have ended his life
long before this If he was in the
woods. Some talk of foul play in
connection with the bloodspot found
in the road, but no one has any very
good testimony to back up any par
ticular one of the three best explana-
lions of the disappearance. The
mother says she knows Of mo one who
has enough grudge against her to have
either kidnapped or murdered the
child. There is no picture OF the child
in existence.

Among the great scientists of the
Alexandrian school, or, rather, mathe-

greatest of ancient mathematicians;

have been better mathematician than
her father-the story of whose life and
tragic death is familiar through Kings

Not only is this old university re-
nowned for the impulse which it gave
to science, but it also extended its
protection and aid to literature, poetry
and the fine arts. For example, Ptole-
my Philadelphus did not consider 1t
beneath him to count among his per-
sonal friends the poet Callimachus, the
author of treatise on birds, who hon
orably maintained himself by keeping
a school at Alexandria. Among the
most distinguished poets may be men,
toned Lycophron, whose work Gas

whose exquisite bucolics prove how

A TRYING ORDEAL.
The Fattening Process of n Mar
riageabIe Girl In Tunis.


riageabIe Girl In Tunis.
The marriageable girl in Tunis has a
trying ordeal to go through after her
betrothal to the man not of her choice,
but whose choice she is. She has to be
fattened to the required size before the
ceremony can take place.
AS soon as the betrothal takes place
she Is taken to a room and there
cooped up till the fattening process is
concluded. Silver shackles are fastened
round her wrists and ankles, and the
task of her parents and future hus-
band is to increase her bulk till her
wrists and ankles fill up the shackles.
If the husband is a widower or has
"discharged' his first wife, the girl
has the shackles of the first spouse
placed on her, and she must fill them
out
1t takes a long time to do this as a
rule, and sometimes 1t cannot be ac-
complished in spite of all efforts. 1t is
then c:'cn to the future husband to cry
off the bargain or waive the condition.
In the case of bachelor he takes care
to see that the bracelets and anklets
are not too large-that is, if he is fond
of the girl-but If he is being forced
into the marriage by his parents, he is
a great stickler for custom. Stout
girls are the more quickly snapped up
in. Tunis.-Pictorial Magazine.
