Dear Sir: There are these five
ways of badness in paint:
Q) Stuffed out with chalk, or
something like that;
~ barytes, better than chalk,
but no covering to it: nobody knows
it's there;
81 benzine in the oil, or water,
or other such stuffing;
(Q too thin-too much LIQUID,
whatever it is, for the solid;

Now will you buy by the price per

Standard Oil Prosperity.

Of all the investments now offered
the public, none perhaps is so GER
tain to produce quick and large
profits as the stock of the Self
Threading Sewing Machine Needle
Company Of Minneapolis. This is
true because the manufacturers of
this wonderful needle have a mo-
nopoly of the business, and having
already larger demand than they
can meet, and as the profit on nee
dies is simply enormous about 600
per cent-owners of stock in this
concern are more than likely to ex-
perience some real Standard Oil
prosperity. If you have few idle
dollars that you'd like to invest at
something like Is per cent. to begin
with, it will certainly pay you to
investigate this. The Self-Thread-
ing Needle Co. offices are at suite

The Story Of Postum Cereal In Wordo
and Pictures.

The growth Of the Postum Cereal
Co. is like fairy tale, but it is true.
every word Of it.
1.-THE Door Unbolted" is the title Of
a charming little booklet just issued
by the Company which tells, and IL
lustrates, the story Of this remark
able growth. It takes the reader from
the little white barn in which the
business was started Jan. /, 1895,
through the palatial offices and great
factory buildings of the white City"
that comprise Postumville. Battle
Creek, Mich.
The little white barn, so carefully
preserved, is most interesting build
ing, for it represents the humble be-
ginning of one of the country's great
est manufacturing enterprises of to-
day, an enterprise that has grown
from this little barn to a whole city
Of factory buildings within but little
more than ten years.
No less interesting is the quaint Of
fetal home of the Postum Cereal Co.
The general Office building of Mr.. Post
and his associates is reproduction of
the Shakespeare house at Stratford-
on-Avon, and upon the house and its
furnishings has been expended vast
sums of money, until the rooms are
more like the drawing rooms of the
mansions Of our multi-millionaires
than like Offices.
That Mr.. Post has believed thor.
oughly in the idea of giving to his
employees attractive and healthful
work rooms is proven not only by the
general Office building of the Company
and its furnishings, but by his fac
tories as well, and Of all of these
things this beautiful little booklet tells
the interesting story. It will be sent
to anyone on request

THOSE ELEVEN LOST DAYS.
Adoption of the Gregorian Calendar
Of Importance to World.

Adoption of the Gregorian Calendar
Of Importance to World.
The eleven days from Sept. 3 to 13
inclusive, are memorable for having
once been entirely omitted from the
Anglo Saxon world
The Gregorian calendar was not
adopted by the British empire until
1851, long after most other nations OF
the civilized world had conformed to
it. In that year an &C" of parliament
prescribed that the next year, 1852,
should begin on Jan. l instead OF on
March 25, as had previously been the
rule, and that In the following Sep
tember these eleven days should be
dropped from the calendar, the day
following Sept. 2 being known as Sept.
IA. Stirring times those were, too, in
which days were not lightly spared
from a year, with Give conquering
India and Washington beginning the
conquest Of the Ohio valley.
But the procession of the equinoxes
took no note of trifles like these, which
could be accomplished as well under
one calendarial style as another. 1t
may be observed that while Gregory
dropped only ten days from 1882 elev-
en- days had to go from 1852 and Rus
sia would have to drop thirteen from
1896 to square her dates with the rest

"As harsh criticism as know Of"

NEW YEARS CALLS.
4 New Drink to Replace the Oid-Tin'e
.Apple-Jack."

Twenty-Five years ago the custom OF
making New Years calls was a de-
lightful one for all concerned, until
some Of the boys got more "egg-nog'
or ''apple-j jack" than they could sue
cessfully carry.
Then the ladies tried to be charit-
able and the gentlemen tried to be

II anyone thinks there has not been
considerable Improvement made in the
last quarter OF century in the use
Of alcoohlic beverages, let him stop
to consider, among other things, the
fact that the old custom of New Years
calls and the genteel tipping is nearly
obsolete

the new year, is a good habit, and an
other good habit to start at that time

Buckwheat, timothy, clover and mil

terially to the profit and comfort of
the year.
Live Stock.
The transition from cattle range to
homesteads which has taken place
west Of the Missouri river has in a de-
gree affected the live stock product,
but what has been lost there has been
quite made up on the farms, except in
skeep growing. There has been a
marked decline in sheep due to the
breaking up of the range, and the high
price for lambs and mutton, which in
fluences have operated to induce flock
masters to sell faster than the increase
warranted.

There has been no material change
