North o.kot. Solves 'ths Adultera.lon

North Dakota seems to have found
the key to the question. How shall
we protect the people from frauds in
manufactured products?" a new law
has recently gone into effect designed
to make 1t impossible to deceive peo.
pie into buying inferior and adulter.
ated paint under the Impression that
they are getting real paint viz: pure
white lead and linseed oil,
The North Dakota lawmakers did
not attempt to absolutely prohibit the
inferior pigments. or mixtures of
pigments. They adopted the slogan,
Let the label tell" and then left to
the people TO buy whichever they
wished.
Under this plan. II any one wishes
to buy mixture OF rOck'dust. ground
quartz and other cheap elements
which are found in many paints and
so.called white leads" no one can
object: for they do 1t with their eyes
open. But II they prefer genuine
white lead and linseed oil, they can
be sure OF getting 1t, for none but
the genuine article can bear a label
which says pure white lead"
In all other States mixtures are of.
ten sold as pure white lead which
contain little - sometimes no - real
white lead.
1t would seem that were this same
principle applied to food beverages
and all other prepared articles, where
deception is practiced upon the buy.

would leave us free to buy what We
pleased but would protect us from
unwittlngly buying what We did not
want.

A PLEASANT SURPRISE

Mr.. Frederick Linton an aged and
respected resident of Berkeley county
was furnished most agreeable sur
prise by his three children at mis- home,
near Arhen on the Gerardstown road
on Feb. the occasion being his Slst
birthday anniversary. The very pleas
ant event was planned by his children,
Mr.. Frederick Linton, Jr., Mr.. Porter
Linton and Mrs. Ida Boyles, and other
relatives and friends aided in carrying
it to most successful conclusion.
When the party arrived.at the home Of
Mr.. Linton they found that gentleman
seated in his big chair reading his
Bible. Although the surprise was ccm
plete Mr.. and Mrs. Linton extended a
cordial welcome to the crowd, and en-
tertained the callers throughout the
day in their most cordial manner. A
splendid dinner was served shortly
after noon, and it is needless to say
that the merry party did ample justice
to the many good things provided for
the occasion. Those present were. Fred

John J. Cornwell does not belong eX-
clusively to Hampshire county nor to
his own senatorial district, he belongs
to the state. He has served the whole
state during his two terms as Senator
and his wonderful run for governor
last fall year, when he come within
less than four thousand votes of cleo
ton while the state gave Roosevelt for
President more than twenty thousand
majority, was clear indication OF the
esteem and confidence of the people Of
West Virginia and their appreciation
of his services. Now that he declines to
serve longer in the state senate
the nomination doubtless belongs to
Berkeley county and we take pleasure
in nominating fit successor in the
person of S. w. Walker. We can say
nothing more mplimentary of MIR.
Walker than to say that he will make
a fit sdccessof of John j. Cornwell.
Yes we nominate Stuart w. Walker.
