A SIMPLE SAFEGUARD IN BUY
ING PAINT.

Everybody should know how simple
and easy it 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 adj
vantage of the simple means of pro-
lection afforded him by reliable white
lead manufacturers, he runs great
risk of getting an inferior and adul-
terated 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
purity and quality. Anyone who wants
to make practical test of white lead,
and who wants valuable FREQ book
about painting, should address Ma
tional Lead Company, Woodbridge
Bldg, New York, and ask for test
equipment.

Tilted Man Silent 80 Years.


For thirty years Benjamin Lands,
who lives in modest little home
with his mother two miles outside
of this town. has not conversed with
friends or relatives because, it is re-
ported, he was Tilted by girl whom
he loved devoutly when youth.
More than 80 years ago ben"
Lands wooed Miss Fannie Gingerich,
who was then the belle of the coun-
tryside. and who married Harry
Snavely. Lands, who was 18 years
old, tried to forget and went West
to seek the excitement of mining
camp or life on ranch. For several
years he lived near Kansas City, but
finally returned to his mother, near
Middletown.
Relatives declare that he became
queer while in the West" but neigh
bors and friends say ''it was the
girl 1t was at this time in his life
that he took the vow never again to
speak to any one, and he has lived
up to his resolution unfiinchingly for
80 years.
Today the girl whom Lands wooed
is widow, her husband having been
killed on a railroad sixteen years
ago. She lives with her parents very
near the Lands home, but Ben"

According to an employee of the

they recently took oath as to all their
taxable possessions and did not in-

bonds worth thousands of dollars,
but when the blue book was rung In
