HOW TO TEST liNsEEp OIL

There is nothing that will make
paint go wrong on the house more
quickly than poor oil. 1t is as bad In
it's way as authorizations in the white
lead Petroleum oil cheapeners may
be detected by placing drop of the oil
on black painted surface. If one sees
the characteristic iridescence or play
of colors which kerosene exhibits, it
Is evidence Of adulteration.N Corn and
fish oil can be detected by the smell.
Adulteration in white lead can best
be discovered by the use of a blow
pipe, which National Lead Company
will send with instructions free to
anyone interested in paint. Address,

AsQUITH IS PREMIER
CAREER OF SUCCESSOR OF SIR
CAMPBELL-BANNER
IndomitabIe Struggle as Result of
Which He Has Risen from In
known Barrister to Head
of British Cabinet.

London-To tell the life story of
Rt. Hon. Herbert H. Asquith, the new
British premier, is to recount the his
tory of an indomitable struggle which
lifted an ambitious man from the Of
fee of a briefess barrister into the
virtual headship of an empire.
Mr.. Asquith is a Yorkshire man,
born of a nonconformist family and
brought up amid the religious inf1u-
ences of a Moravian community. From
his boyhood he has taken life seri-
Ously and the determination he dis
played during his school days is doubt
less the underlying reason of his ele-
walton to the proud position which
comes to him by the resignation of Sir
Henry Campbell-Bannerman
From the City of London School,
where his first education was obtained,
Mr.. Asquith went to Oxford. At Bal
Hol he fell under the influence of
who in later years made the most dis
tinguished names in contemporary
history. He achieved a great reputa-
ton, carried everything before him
and proved himself the first man of
his year.
With his degree he went directly to
the bar and for several years exper-
fenced the tribulations of the young
barrister. Not long after leaving the
university he married. His wife died

Orchards In Sand Hills

sand hills a thorough test in raising
fruit and for this purpose have pur-
chased ten acres of land one mile
south of Garden City. They will sur
round this tract of land with rabbit

trees started. ..We are using a great

said Mr.. Wampler, land we can see
no reason why they should not grow.

only one of its kind, as the govern
ment is making some extensive expert

@BORAX IN THE DAIRY
a Matter of Profitable Interest e
the Farmer and Dairyman

The problem OF keeping sweet all
the utensils used in connection with
milk and cream selling, and butter
making, has been q serious one with
the farmer.
He has come to realize fully that
the slightest faint or hint of staleness
left in can, tin or churn may ruin
a whole output; that the faint which
is left is in the form OF bacteria
which grow and multiply in milk or
butter, producing disastrous results.
The farmer has learned that hot
water won't rinse away the greasy
residue In dairy utensils.
He has learned that soap leaves q
residue of its own which is, If any
thing, worse than the milk OF cream
residue, and it is little wonder that
that there has been a constant clamoF
for a dairy cleanser and sweetener
that will meet modern requirements.
A few Of the largest creamery es-
Establishments have called experts into
consultation on this problem and have
with this scientific aid hit upon prod
uct of nature which exactly fills the
bill-borax.
Scientists have long known borax as
q cleanser, a sweetener and an anti
septic destroyer of bacteria and germ
growths. Destroys all that is harm
full and promotes and preserves fresh
ness, sweetness and purity, relieving
the dairyman and dairy housewife OF
drudgery and of needless work and
worry.
It's cheapness and value should give
1t first place in the necessities Of
every dairy.
The cows udder is kept in a clean,
healthy and smooth condition by
washing it with borax and water, a
tablespoonful OF borax to two quarts
of water.
This prevents roughness and sore
ness or cracking teats, which make
milking time dread to the cow and a
worry to the mixer.

leaving him with five children and
this incident had a deep effect upon
his earlier years.
Mr. Asquith had taken an inferior
part in politics until 1886, when he
was returned to the house of COM
mons as liberal from East Fifeshire.
He thereupon began a surprising
career. He made his first mark in the
liberal party by defending Mr.. Cum
ninghame Graham, who with John
Burns was prosecuted for attempting
to vindicate the right of public meet
ing in Trafalgar Square The case
was lost, but the fight he made
strengthened Mr.. Asquith with the
liberals both in and out of parliament.
In the following year he laid the cor
ner stone of his reputation. For some
time he had been junior to Sir
Charles Russell, later the chief justice
of England. When Charles Stewart
Parnen was attacked by the Times
and demanded an investigation he re-
tanned Sir Charles to represent him,
with Mr.. Asquith as his junior.
The Times put Mr.. Soames in the
box as its first witness and Sir Charles
had cross-examined him to no pur-
pose. The court adjourned for
luncheon and Sir Charles staggered
Mr.. Asquith by calmly informing him
that he had better cross-examine the
next witness.
Mr. Asquith protested, but when
court again convened prepared to take
on Mr.. Mcdonald, who, after Mr.. AS
quith's DISCRIMINATION, became ia
nous as the Simple Simon" of the
Times. Asquith's first question Nc
Donald answered in supremely silly
fashion The opening was imme-
diately seized by Mr.. Asquith and his
reputation was made.
Favorable notice of Mr.. Gladstone
was attracted by the success of Mr..
Asquith in the Parnell case, and soon
after the home secretaryship in the
incoming liberal cabinet was offered to
Mr. Asquith, when he was only &C
years old. He was thus promoted al
one leap over the head of Sir Charles
Russell, who was attorney general
which occasioned much surprise ant
comment
mfr. Asquith held cabinet rank dur
ing the last administration of Mr.
Gladstone and the first administration
of Lord Rosebery. When Lore
Rosebery's cabinet broke up Mr.
Asquith's friends believed he wa.
committing political suicide by re
turning to the bar. He however
