The Aua az Lead.

4 q
We are wont to speak Of this era
| as the age Of iron," and there is no
gainsaying that, industria1y speaking,
iron is q precious metal. =
Nevertheless, few people realize
how useful, Il not absolutely neces-
sary, to modern civilization, il that
other metal. lead. Scft, yielding,
pliable, It is not much like its sister
metal, but those distinguishing quail
ties are what give it such prominent
place In the arts and Industries.
Modern plumbing, requiring many
turnings and twistings, but withal
tight joints. would be almost impos-
sible without lead pipe. The great
est civilizing agent in the world the
printing art-is absolutely dependent
on lead. Hand-set type, linotype
"slugs." monotype type-all are
made of compositions of which lead
is the chief component-to say moth
ing Of the bearings In the presses as
well as all other kinds Of machinery
in which "babbitt" metal is used.
Solder is another lead product
what a field of usefulness that one
form opens up.
Then there is the most important
use Of all to which lead is put-paint,
that necessary material which keeps
our houses looking pretty = inside
and. out-and preserves them from
decay.
How many Of us thank metallic. lead
for the comforts of paint? Yet the
best house paint is nothing but me-
tallic lead corroded by acid to a white
powder known as white lead" OF
course. there are many limitations of
white lead" some of which are sold
as white lead and some which are
offered by the name OF ready-pre-
pared paint under the familiar pre-
tense that they are "just as good'' as
white lead. But all good paint is
made OF the metal, lead corroded and
ground to a fine white powder and
mixed with linseed oil.
White lead is also used In the coat
ing of fine oil cloths and for many
purposes besides paint.
Red lead" is another product of
metallic lead and is what is known as
an oxide of lead, being produced by
burning the metal. Red lead is the
best paint known to preserve iron,
steel or tin, and is used largely in
painting metal structures, such as
skyscraper skeletons. mills and
bridges.
There are many other products of
the metal lead, such as 1itharge,
orange mineral, etc, which are es-
sential to many OF the arts in which
we never imagine that lead would be
Of the least use.
Verify, we live in an age Of lead
as well as of iron.

MY former attacks Of Indigestion
had been accompanied by heat flashes,
and many times my condition was dis

Politically, Brazil is divided into 81

three of these embrace practically her

"Cut out hot cream Of tartar bis

of tartar that Is Objectionable and In

who to-day continue to use the old
cream Of tartar baking powder. and
wonder why they are always ailins. .
