The revelations regarding fraudu-
lent paint materials which have been
made by the Agricultural Experiment
Station of Fargo, n. D., and published
by Prof. E. F. Laid, state commits
sioner, have occasioned almost as
much of a sensation as the exposure
of adulteration in food products did
when the latter first began to appear.
1t has been shown that kegs marked
Pure White Lead" often contain other
substances such as chalk, barytes.
silica, ETC., and that oil supposed to
be linseed often contains petroleum
adulterants, to say nothing of water
in large proportions. Sometimes. So
called white Leads" contain not an
iota of genuine White Lead.
The farmer is a large user of paint.
No one is more interested than he is,
that the label should enable him to-
get what he supposes he is paying for.
There should be a law in every state
requiring that all paint packages be
labeled exactly according to their con-
tents. That would enable every paint
buyer to buy intelligently.

Director.

In the village of Bellows Falls, Yer.
mont, some 40 years ago a band was
organized, and was fairly successful.
It's personnel was varied as to age
and appearance, and there was one
member Of this organization. Crossett
by name, who by virtue of his loose,
baggy attire his immense ''muff1er,
which he never took off nine months
of the year. and his shapeless, soft
hat stood alone as an eccentric oddly.
The band had resumed practice the
first Of April in a small room over the
post Office.
Passers-by could readily hear their

concerts during the approaching sum,

One evening the band members were
being drilled in a rather quieter selec,

endeavoring to tone down some Of the

who played the bass instrument, seem,

evening, and especially in that piece

NEW USE FOR ALARM CLOCK.
Timepece May Be Utilized as Autt
matte Door Opener.

An ordinary alarm clock may, in tht
manner here indicated, be made. a
any time wished for, to perform vari
Gus useful services. such, for instance
as unbolting door.
Detach the hammer of the alarm
if you do not wish to ring the bell, fl
the clock firmly IN a box fastened tt
the wall, and set the alarm overnight
for let us say, seven o'clock. Attacl
line to the stem OF the Windinf
handle of the alarm. Keeping the line
taut. attach it's other end to the knoll
of the bolt to be unfastened.
At seven o'clock next morning the
alarm will go off, of course withou
sounding the gong. While it is so do
ing, the handle will revOlve, and, BY
winding the line as it does so, will thus
unbolt the door.
Other adaptations of the same idea
will occur to many persons.

In Kamschatka the people live in

that of water running out of narrow

the inner bark of the Pine Tree, mace

They are hardy race, the Pine keep
ing the blood pure and the various or
gans of the body in a healthy condi-
ton. Consumption is unknown among
them.
A noted specialist in throat and lung
trouble, who established a camp for
consumptives in the Pine Woods Of
Maine, and whose remarkable cures
there have attracted great attention
from the medical world, says that one
half ounce of the Pure Virgin Oil of
Pine, mixed with two ounces of ely
cerine and one-half pint of good Whis-
ky and used in teaspoonful doses, will
heal and strengthen the lungs, break
up a cold in twenty-four hours, and
cure any cough that is durable. The
ingredients can be secured from any
prescription druggist at small cost.
Inquiry at the prescription depart
ment of leading local druggist elicit
ed the information that the Pure Vir-
gin Oil of Pine is put up only in half
ounce Walls for dispensing. Each vial
is securely sealed in round wooden
case, with engraved wrapper, showing
the name-Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure)

act, June 80, 1906. Prepared only by

many rank limitations of Virgin Oil
of Pine (Pure), which are being put
out under various names, such as Con-
centrated Oil of Pine, Pine Balsam,

tute for the Pure Virgin Oil of Pine, as
they will invariably produce nausea
and never effect the desired results.

ITO BE CONTINUED
THIEVES AT THE OPERA.
Immediately Dressed and Attended by
beautiful Women.

ImmacuIateIy Dressed and Attended by
Beautiful Women.
Strange as it may SEEM" said one
of Chief O'Brien's new detectives, as he
lounged against pillar in front OF the
Metropolitan opera house, talking to
a New York Herald man, New York
thieves of the higher class have weak
ness for grand opera, both for business
and pleasure. You doubtless remember
when Inspector Mclaughlin walked
down the aisle two years ago and
tanned a woman on the shoulder. She
was a notorious thief and she followed
him without a word. Since then sew
eral thieves have been arrested in the
lobby and around the entrance and sew
eral have even got past us and have
sat out the performance. Look at this.
1t is a sample of the work done by the
opera house thieves.
The detective pulled from his pocket
crumpled advertisement. 1t was as
follows:
eff blue kersey overcoat taken from
dress circle of Metropolitan opera house
Monday night is returned, $25 will be
paid and no questions asked
81 was one of the men detailed here
on the opening night continued the
detective. Personally hustled sew
eral thieves away; but as there was no
charge against them beyond their gen
eral bad character they could not be
| arrested
after the opera was over, | stood
Just at the door to watch the crowd
coming out. What was my surprise to
see one of the best-known thieves in
New York come out with a beautifully
dressed woman on his arm. She wore
| a long pink and ermine opera cloak and
big diamonds and his crush hat was
| simply immense. He looked at me
| cool1y, handed the woman into car
riage and whirled away.
''I saw him next day in Sixth avenue
and called to him. What do you want 2
he inquired There is nothing against
me. Hasn't man a right to enjoy
himself?' / warned him against enjoy
! ing himself around the Metropolitan
opera house, and let him go. There are
very many diamonds around the Met
ropolitan, and they are a great tempta
ton to the average thief"
