BUYING PAINT BLINDLY.

Many people look upon paint buy
ing as a lottery and so it is, the way
they do it. 1t is not necessarily so,
however. Pure White Lead and lin
seed oil are the essential elements of
good paint. Adulterants in white lead
can be easily found by the use of a
blowpipe. Adulterations in linseed oil
can be detected with a fair degree of
certainty. See that these two elements
are pure and properly pat on and the
paint will stay put
National Lead Company, Wood
bridge, Building, New York City. will
send blowpipe outfit and instruc-
tions for testing both white lead and
linseed oil, on request.

NOT MEANT FOR THE ACTOR.
New Jersey Pest Responsible for En-.
thusiastic Applause"

A certain theatrical troupe, after
dreary and unsuccessful tour, finally
arrived in a small New Jersey town.
That night, though there was no furor
or general uprising of the audience,
there was enough hand-clapping to
arouse the troupe's detected spirits
The leading man stepped to the foot
lights after the first act and bowed
profoundly. Still the clapping con
tinued.
When he went behind the scenes he
saw an Irish stage hand laughing
heartily. We'll, what do you think
of that?" asked the actor, throwing
out his chest.
What dye mean?" inquired the
Irishman.
why, the hand-clapping out there"
was the reply.
"Hand-clapping?"
Yes" said the Thespian. they are
giving me enough applause to show
they appreciate me-"

the old fellow. "Whoi, thot's not ap.

after an attack of rheumatism,
running sores broke out on my hus-
bands legs, from below the knees 10
the ankles. There are no words to
tell all the discomforts and great suf-
fering he had to endure night and day.
He used every kind of remedy and
three physicians treated him, one after
the other, without any good results
whatever. One day l orderad some
Cuticura Soap. Cuticura Ointment,
and Cuticura Resolvent. He began
to use them and in three weeks all the
sores were died up. The burning fire
stopped. and the pains became bear
able. After three months he was quite
well. l can prove this testimonial at

nEeather piaonosls."

A woman who was perfectly well.
but fancied she was suffering from
fever. called on an old and exper-
fenced physician to consult him. She
described her symptoms at some
length, and he listened patiently. At
last he said: II think l understand
your case, madam. Sit perfectly still
a few moments and let me look at
you" She complied and he eyed her
attentively for nearly minute, glanc-
ing at his watch once or twice in the
meantime. There is nothing the mat
ter with you. madam" he said. You
haven't the slightest indication of
fever. Your heart beat is perfectly
normal" why. how do you know,
doctor?" she asked in surprise. You
didn't feel my pulse" Il didn't

A Matter of Doctors.

There were two sisters living in
Michigan" said Senator Burrows, who
warred constantly about the two great
schools of medicine. One pinned her
faith to allopathy and the other to
homeopathy.
"One day there was great excite
ment in the family of the lady who be-
lieved in allopathy and it was soon an
nounced that she was the mother of
bouncing twin boys.
"The other sister came down in a
hurry. Well, she said, now see what's
happened. l wanted you to have a
homeopathic doctor. After this guess
you will listen to me-"

LYDIA E. PINKHAM

Nature and woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good fashioned days of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world remedy for their pc
culiar ills, more potent and effica-
cious than any combination of drugs.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC. St.,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
Complete restoration to health
means SO much to me that for the sake
of other suffering women am willing
to make my troubles public.
"For twelve years l had been suffer-
ing with the worst forms of female ills.
During that time had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what L suffered, and at times 1
could hardly walk. About two years
ago / wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
1 followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia L. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re-
stored health and strength. 1t is
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women"
What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Mutf,
it will do for other suffering women.

An Enterprising Salesman.

On the tenth anniversary of his
wedding, a merchant in Washington
was approached by book agent who
offered for inspection a varied assort-
ment of books, particularly dwelling
on the beauty and value of new edi-
ton of the Bible. He said:
81 have been told that this is your
wedding anniversary, and you could
make no better present to your wife
than family Bible, and this splendid
edition which sells for SIS at retail
l am now able to offer to you for $40
spot cash"
He made the sale, giving a beautI-
full imitation morocco case, which he
claimed was genuine. Then he has.
tened to the home of the merchant
and using the same argument, induced
the wife to buy another edition of
the family Bible as an appropriate we'd
ding present for her husband.
When they exchanged presents that
evening, there was quite a commotion
in the home, and the husband was be-
41de himself with rage, forgetting that
poth of those Bibles contained the in
tnfSction: Let not the sun go down
uponN thy wrath" Being unable to so
downtown, he telephoned to friend
to go to the station, and bring that
agent to the house without fail. Tho
friend fastened to the depot, caught
the book agent, delivered the message
and insisted upon the agent delaying
his departure. The willy fellow, full OF
business, replied:
Il offered him a copy of this Bible
for $40 and he put it off for the time,
l am very sure that he has repented
and wants copy as wedding present
for his wife. He has undoubtedly told
her of the bargain, and she wants it
1 cannot remain over, however, for one
sale, but you can take it to him, and
he will be delighted, and will forever
thank you for having overtaken me.
The price is only $40, and you had bet
ter take it to him, as his wife is prob
ably crazy to get it,"

PAYS WITH TEN DAYS IN
JAIL FOR HIS JAMBOREE
Charge of Issuing Fictitious Checks
Falls Through, and Court Dis
misses Prisoner After ADJ
ministering Lecture

SAN PEDRO, Oct. 3.-Ten days i'm
prisonment in the county Jail, awaiting
trial on a felony charge of which he
was innocent, was the experience OF
George 7. Walker, arrested here Sep
tember % on charge of issuing a fic-
titiouS check.
For several days prior to his arrest
Walker, in company with c. Coppin of
Long Beach and r. H. Garfield and
John Peterson of Los Angeles, was hav-
ing "jollification" around the saloons
here.
After Walker had loaned Coppin some
$15 or more and spent all his other
money he finally got Coppin to tele-
phone to Long Beach on the representa-
tion that he (Coppin) had 5000 on de-
posit in the State bank there. A check
was then drawn by Coppin for SIS and
Walker got the money from the Coaster
saloon. The check was, however, made
out on the State bank here and dis
honored on presentation. Walker was
notified and the check then was sent
to Long Beach, but returned with the
memo, Account closed"
Believing that Walker was the maker
as well as the indorser of the check
W. R. Kupferle, the proprietor of the
saloon, caused his arrest.
At the preliminary hearing held here
today before Recorder Smith it de-
veloped that Coppin had signed the
check and that he had an account in
the State bank at Long Beach some
three years ago. There being no evil
dence against Walker he was dis
charged. after receiving a lecture by
the court on the folly of intemperance
and bad associates. A warrant was
then issued for Coppin.
