Paint Which
 Lasts

Painters, and all others who understand paint, know that white lead and linseed oil make the best paint. Good. lasting paint cannot be had if either pig ment or oil is adulterated.
 Many of the so-called white leads sold now-a- days have barytes, rock dust, silica, gypsum, etc., in them, and little real white lead.
 Linseed oil is also fre- quently adulterated. Such mixtures are dear at any price.

Another Weak Point.

Another weak point which we must con-
stantly strive to overcome is we have not
learned 10 provide today for tomorrow. AS
a people we are too much given to taking
no thought for the future. If we can pro-
vide for todays clothing. today's food
and today's shelter. in too many cases we
make no provision for the future happi-
ness of our families We make no pro-
vision for the days of sickness. and in
stead of having n competence In our old
age find ourselves in poverty. One of
the weak points Of people who live by
coal mining is that while they earn large
sums of money, five and Nix times In MANI
cases as large as could be earned by the
same class of people anywhere else in the
world. they part with their earnings al
most as quickly as the money Is secured.
Nothing is thought of making large expen-
ditures for things that happen to crafty
our fancy. Let us get rid of this habit Let
the head of each family resolve that each
week he will save and put aside part OF
his earnings. that he will invest 1t in
some property in some good bank and
above all things, let each one who hears
my voice today resolve that he will use
his influence and set the example himself
In seeing that our people do not throw
away their money for strong drink. The
drinking habit not only parts ms from our
money. but degrades the morals and
weakens the physical constitution to the
extent that very soon the individual Is
unable to earn any money at all
