HOW 10 KNOW PURE PAINT.
A Way in Which II May Be Identified
Before Using.

After building has been painted
long enough for weather test, it is
easy to tell If the paint used was made
of pure White Lead or not. But such
helated knowledge comes like locking
the barn after the colt is stolen.
What one wants is test that will
tell the quality Of the paint before it
and the labor Of putting it on are
paid for.
Nature has provided a way in which
genuine White Lead may be positive
ly distinguished from adulterated or
fake White Lead before you spend a
cent on your painting.
Pure White Lead is made from me-
tallic lead, and, under intense heat,
such as is produced by a blow-pipe,
pure White Lead will lresolveitself back
into metallic lead. If, however, it is
not genuine White Lead, or if it con-
tains the slightest trace of adultera-
tion, the change will not take place.
Therefore the "blow-pipe" test is an
absolute and final one.
The National Lead Company are
urging everyone interested in painting
to make this test of paint before using
it, and they guarantee that the pure
White Lead sold under their dutch
Boy Painter" trademark will always
prove absolutely pure under the blow.

ment they will send you free upon re-

PEDDLER5 OF ROME

Rome.-The majority. of the lower
classes in Rome do most Of their mar
keting and shopping in the streets,
and this custom accounts for the large
number Of peddlers, hucksters and
itinerant vendors who crowd the city.
4 These street merchants are divided
into two classes, those who cater to
the foreigner and sell mosaics, old
coins and fragments of marble of
dubious authenticity, flowers, bits OF
brocade, shawls of Roman silk, picture
post cards and even alleged Turkish
carpets, and the others, who are more
numerous and whose wares are for
the exclusive use of the native house.

stance, belongs the bHscolinaro, or
seller of dried pumplA seeds, which
are greatly relished by the Romans,
who are in the habit of eating them
during the long waits between the acts
In the theaters and in the public
parks while the band plays, as well
as in the wine shops, where their sale
is encouraged by the host, who knows
full well their thirst increasing prop
erty. The origin of the custom is said
to date back to classic times, when
pumpkin seeds were sold during tbs
gladiatorial games in the Circus Max
tmus and Coliseum.
A frequent sight in the streets OF
Rome is that of men, and very often
boys, with strings of plated onions
and garlic slung over their shoulders
who cry their wares with the full
force of southern lungs. They come
from Naples and the Abruzzi, and il
you question them they essure you
that they are selling thu aroduce ot

But no genuine Roman Will believe
such statement, as the conviction
prevails, based probably on the cheap

United States Government Seeks to In
Heresf Farmers in Its Cultivation

An increasing demand for chicory as a
coffee addition has caused the United
States Government to make q special ef-
fort to induce American farmers to grow
the plant. (See Bulletin 19, U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture.I
Chicory is a root grown something like
the beet or carrot, ana has been used as q
food in various ways for centuries.
More than a hundred years ago during
the Napoleonic wars, the continent of Eu-
rope was cut off from the outside world,
and coffee, of which the Dutch in particu-
lar are very fond, became scarce and
high in price.
It was found that the chicory root,
dried, roasted and ground, made most
excellent substitute. Soon many were
drinking it entirely, while others mixed
it with a certain proportion of genuine
coffee.
These people found that it gave the
coffee richer, fuller ffav(9, and that the
injurious effects which pure coffee has on
many were entirely overcome.
Since then chicory has been extensively
used by coffee merchants, and the prep
aration CT it as an addition to coffee
has become a large business, giving en-
ployment to thousands of men. Many
large factories in Europe and several in
America are manufacturing thousands OF
tons annually.
Being as necessary an addition to cof-
fee as salt is to soup, chicory has come
into great demand, and to supply this de-
mand the government is interesting itself.
1t promises an entirely new and profit
able field of endeavor for the American
farmer.
