North Dakota Solves the AduItera'
ton Problem.

llOu fTODlems
North Dakota seems to have found
the key to the question, How shall
we protect the people from frauds in
manufactured products?" a plan
which is applicable to foods. bever-
ages, materials used in the arts, etc.
A new law has recently gone into ef-
feet designed to make it impossible
to deceive people into buying inferior
and adultsrated paint under the i'm
pfesti6n that they are getting real
paint, viz: pure white lead and lin
seed 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 10
the people to buy whichever they
wished.
Under this plan, il any one wishes
to buy a 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 II with tlelr eyes
open. But If they prefe, genuine
white lead and linseed oil, they can
be sure of getting it, for none but
the genuine article can bear a label
which Gays 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
err, the question would be solved. 1T
would leave us free to buy what we
pleased, but would protect us from
unwittingly buying what We did not
want.

Monks as Cllauffcurs.

The monks Of the Grand st. Ber-
nard will soon make their debut as
chauffeurs.
After a struggle lasting over a
year they have received the permits
sion from the Valais and Italian au-
thorities to run a motor car service
between the hospices of Grand St
Bernard and Simplon-their proper
ties-and Domodossola and Aosta.
The chauffeurs will be chosen
from among the. monks themselves
who will wear cowls.
The cars, which are being special
" constructed to climb the steep
gradients, will at the beginning be
employed for the transport OF sup
plies only.
Later, however. the monks intend
to start a service for tourists who
wish to visit their hospices in the
season. - Geneva Corresponding

Fine Old Netherlands REPAIRED

Fine Old NetheeIands Repartee.
One Barend Vet of The Hague, had
recently the misfortune to call con-
stable a monkey, an accusation which
one of the local papers pointed out
Is "being, Of course, untrue" and
which. moreover is a form of untruth
not permitted in Holland. Vet was ar
rested and brought before the judge
On a charge of insulting the police"
being sentenced to AZ days imprison-
ment. Before being removed he turned
to address the court. Then I mustn't
call a constable a monkey" he said.
Certainly not; you must not insult
the police" The culprit reflected.
MAY I call a monkey constable? 2"
he asked, with flash or genius. The
Judge shrugged his houlders, and.
holding no brief for the animal, re-
piled: IT 1t gives you any satisfac-
ton" With q smile of qualification
Vet turned on his heel in the docl
and bowed to. his prosecutor, Good
day. constable" he said.-St. James,
Gazette.
