The White Paint of the White House,

The White Paint of the White House,
The White House at Washington,
which has been the "Kings Palace"
of the American People since it was
first occupied by President Madison In
1909, has recently undergone a thor
ough course of remodelliDg, renovation
and repair. Every American citizen 10
owner of an undivided eighty or
eighty-five millionth part Of the White
House, as we'll as of the ether Public
Buildings and Monuments in the Cap
itol City. An item in the renovation
of he -emodeled White House was
repainting. Every visitor in Washing
ton knows why the White House is so
called--because ], is literally white
house." The exterior paint must there
fore be white Now while the pure
white surfaces and simple lines of the
White House, set in the midst of green
lawns and beautiful trees, produce
very satisfying effect of dlgnified
simplicity, white paint from practical
point of view, is about the most UNI
satisfactory Lind of paint that could
have been selected by the original de-
signers. First. because any white
paint is easily discolored by smoke and
dust, and, second, because ordinary
white paint itself gradually turns gray
or brownish yellow from exposure.
But white the White House is, and
white it must remain or it would no
longer be the "White House." So the
renovators, making the best Of dis
couraging situation. sought for the best
kind of white paint procurable. The
average citizen If asked to guess what
kind of paint they finally decided on
would probably answer-"white lead
and oi,' but he would guess wrongly.
The paint selected as the best obtain
able, was :. ready-mlxed paint, such as
can be bought in any well-furnished
village store, such as is used by more
than half of the eighty or eighty-five
million owners Ct the White House on
their own homes. That one brand Of
mixed paint was used instead Of an
other Is mere accidental detail
there are fifty or hundred brands on
the market mat might have Deen Sc
lected in other circumstances, and, in
fact, a different brand was .ased in
painting the Capitol.
Every property owner. therefore.
who paints his house with a high
grade :eady-mixed paint, is following
the example set by the Government
Authorities at Washington, who used,
ready-miXed paint, because they could
find nothing else as good.

and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of a wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1s43 she married Isaac Pinkham,
a builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and a
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days it
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in u physician only in specially
urgent cases. BY tradition and ex-
perience many of them gained won
derful knowledge of the curative prop
critics of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature so
bountifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods of
all kinds; 80, if we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
of the field there are remedies ex-
pressly designed to cure the various
ills and weaknesses Of the body, and
it was her pleasure to search these out,
and prepare simple and effective medi-
cines for her own family and friends.
Chief of these was rare combina-
ton of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu-
liar to the female sex, and Lydia e. Pink
hams friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this so far was done freely, with
out money and without price, as q
labor of love.
But in 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were too
much for the large real estate interests
of the Pinkham family, as this class
of business suffered most from
fearful depression, SO when the Centen-
NAL year dawned it found, their prop
erty swept away. Some other source
of income had to be found.
At this point Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound was made known
to the world.

SNAKE BIRD MADE FINE PET.
Readily Tanned and Faithful In Its
Attachment

The snake bird is readily tanned
when taken young. The Rev. John
Bachman, who reared some of these
birds, said "My best pet was tame
from the beginning Of its captivity,
and followed me about the house, the
yard and garden, until thought 1t
quite troublesome, in consequence of
its peculiar attachment to me- 1t is
fearless bird, keeping at bay the
hens and turkeys in the yard, and
never sparing any dog that CHANGED

occasionally posting itself in the
trough where they are fed, to prevent
them from taking morsel of food
until he has tantalized them suffici-
emily, then he leaves them to share
whatever he does not relish.
1T was not until my bird was fully
fledged that l found it willing or
anxious to 60 to the water, and then
whenever it saw me going toward the
pond it accompanied me as far as the
gate, seeming to say, Pray let me

once followed me, waddling like a

plunge or a dive, but by dropping
from plank into the stream, where
for while 1t would swim like a duck,
then dipping it's long neck 1t would
dive for the purpose of procuring fish.
This bird sleeps in the open air,
and during warm weather perches on
the house or the bars Of the fence,
with it's head under its wings, placed
there from above its back, and in
rainy weather 1t often sits in that
same place for nearly the Whole day.

near the fire, battling with the dogs

Need OF Backbone.

A contemporary suggests that one
thing which Christians as well as 9th.
ers need at the present day is back
bone. Not backbone like ramrod,
that cannot yield or bend, but a well
articulated spinal column, which is
strong enough to hold man upright,
and keep him from being crushed be-
meath the burdens that press upon him.
These are days of easy going piety;
and men are too often ruled by COM
promise rather than by conscience.

1t is better to live a good life than to
be talking about it, better to live holt
ness than to proclaim that one lives it.
If the sun makes a noise we do not
hear it. The brilliant electric lights
blaze forth without cracking. The
lighthouses flame out their rays over
the perilous seas without the procla'
nation of bells or the firing of cannon.
So the truest, purest and best lives
simply let their light shine, as the
blessed Saviour commanded.

Little Girls Obstinate Case of Eczema
Mother Says: "Cuticura Remedies
a Household Standby"


Last year, after having my little girl
treated by a very prominent physician for
an obstinate case of eczema, | resorted to
the Cuticura Remedies, and was so well
pleased with the almost instantaneous re-
lief afforded that we discarded the physi-
clans prescription and relied entirely on
the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment and
Cuticura Pills. When we commenced with
the Cuticura Remedies her feet and limbs
were covered with running sores. In
about six weeks we had her completely
well, and there has been no recurrence OF
the trouble. We find that the Cuticura
Remedies are a valuable household stand
by, living as we do twelve miles from a
doctor, and where it costs from twenty to
twenty-five dollars to come up on the

ALL HAIL To GRAYS
AND BIG JACK CR0N|N

Big Jack was all there when Il came
10 pitching ball yesterday and the Birds
found that TO be fact before they fn-
ished the game. He had them guessing
at all stages Of the contest and as for
hrs they were as scarce at the hands
OF this Gray man as the proverbial hens
teeth.
Confident that he had the very best OF
support behind him Jack went into the
game and pitched a superb game from
the opening seance. Incidentally he has
now the honor Of having figured in the
shortest game played this season
There have been talks by the fans OF
old OF the kind OF sport put up In their
day. but not one OF them could have
found flaw in the game as played yes
terday by the Grays or the Birds. The
pitching was as good as anything ever
handed out anywhere and the fielding
simply could not be beaten
IL was just like working a bit OF ma
chinery so perfect was the PLAYING OF each
team. On paper Il would look as II the
game OF the Birds was the faster since
they got away with the larger number
OF double plays. but that IL not a criterion.
The Grays were just as fast in that re-
epect only the opportunity did not come.
Manager Jennings seemed 20 be the
pivot around which most OF the fast
plays revolved and was accredited with
making one double play unassisted. He
tried 10 fool Moran one time. however,
by clever trick that did not work
Barton dropped ball right at his feet
and he cleverly picked Il up and instead
OF throwing 20 first 90 make the putout
thought 10 put up the bluff that he had
trapped the ball. Moran was wise 20 the
Trick. however, and Barton was safe on
first
As the game progressed and Tho run
column remained blank tho fans settled
down 20 the conclusion that ID was TO be
a fast game and would be undecided until
the last man was out Several times II
locked Hike bit OF scoring. hut the pitch
ers and the felders were onto their bust
ness and the game went from seance n
seance with nothing doing as the word
The only pleasing thing that cheerec
the fans up was that the Grays were out
batting the Birds and az the same time
were holding them 20 an even thing The
home team had men on bases several
times during the game and very near &C
scoring They made hits In each OF the
sessions with the exception Of the fftf
and sixth.
