Everybody should know how simple
and easy 1t is to avoid all uncertainty
in buying paint materials. There are
many so-called white leads on the
market, which contain chalk, zinc,
barytes. and other cheap adulterants.
Unless the property owner takes ad-
vantage of the simple means Of pro
lection afforded him by reliable white
lead manufacturers, he runs great risk
of getting an inferior and adulterated
white lead
1t is to protect the paint-buyer
against fraud and adulteration that
National Lead Company. the largest
makers Of genuine Pure White Lead,
place their famous Dutch Boy Paint
er" trademark on every key Of their
product, an absolute guarantee of its

to make practical test of white lead,
and who wants a valuable free book
about painting, should address Ma
tional Lead Company, Woodbridge
Bldg, New York, and ask for test

ARE MASTERS OF EvAsIvENEss.
6edouIn's Answer Typical Of the Peo-
pie of the East.

In the far east, when men converse
together, an evasion is equal to an
answer. Riding down to Egypt over
the old caravan route from Jerusalem
to Cairo, Norman Duncan and a party
pitched their tents outside a Bedouin
village and by so doing offended
against the laws Of hospitality which
the people so religiously maintain.
Mr.. Duncan, writing in Harper's Mag
azine, says that he was obliged to turn
aside their reproaches-and avoid the
abominabIe quarters which were still
being offered. Turning to his guide,
he said: "The man must be diverted
Ask him If the world is round or
fiat" The reply was pure philoso-
piers jewel of the east. IF the world
is fat" came the response, after
heavy pondering, Il am content; If 1t
Is round, 1t is by Gods wisaom." And
the men softly applauded, in their
pleasure forgetting their injury, for
getting everything except the joyous
native craft OF words.
