HOW TO APPLY PAINT.

Greatest care should be taken when
painting buildings Or implements
which are exposed to the weather, to
have the paint applied properly. No
excellence of material can make up
for carelessness of application, any
more than care in applying it can
make poor paint wear we'll.
The surface to be painted should be
dry and scraped and sandpapered
hard and smooth. Pure white lead
should be mixed with pure linseed oil,
fresh for the job, and should be well
brushed out, not flowed on thick.
When painting is done in this manner
with National Lead Company's pure
white lead Grade marked with 1.-The
Dutch Boy Painter") there is every
chance that the job will be satisfac-
tory. White lead is capable of alb
solute test for purity.s National Lead
Company, Woodbridge Building, New
York, will send a testing outfit free to
any one interested.

BUY ONLY BEST cHlcoRY.
Ask for the Franck Brand and Insist
Upon Gettinu IL.

All coffee drinkers should be familiar
with the history and merits Of chicory.
AS salt is necessary for soup, so coffee
Is incomplete without a proper proper
ton OF genuine chicory, for It is chicory
that gives coffee that rich flavor and fra
grant aroma.
Americans, hanks to foreign-born resi-
dents, now appreciate the merits of chic
DRY. The United States Government has
interested itself in the root and recently
issued a bulletin on the use and growth
Of chicory. (See Bulletin 10, U. 8. De-
partment of Agriculture.)
1t also regards chicory as standard a
food product as coffee and requires the
coffee makers to state the contents Of
their packages in plain letters. This in
sures the purchaser pure coffee and genu-
inc chicory.
One chicory manufacturing firm, Heinz.
Franck Sohne & Company, which has IS
ceived forty medals for the excellence OF
It's product in it's nearly q century of ex-
i~stence, has established an American
branch at Flushing, N. Y, where genu-
inc Franck Chicory is IA From this
factory genuine chicory is supplied to all
the leading jobbers of the south.
You must ask for Franck Chicory in or
der to get the best chicory. Many in
ferior brands are offered, but there is
only one high grade chicory and it is the
Franck Chicory.
Make sure that the coffee you buy is
mixed with 'Franck'' chicory and insist
on getting it. You will be assured of a
aroma and healthful in effect. You will
then drink the coffee made famous by the
good Dutch ~housewives-the same kind
served in all the leading hotels and res
taurants. Accept only coffee prepared
with "Franck" Chicory-it is the best.

Senator GalIinqer as Editor.

Senator Gallinger of New Hamp.
shire, is the unofficial editor OF the
upper house. The senator has been.
in former stages of his career, both
an editor and a printer, so that he
is eminently qualified for the position
which has been accorded to him by
general consent. Sometimes as often
as half a dozen times a day the SEN
ator from the Granite state rises and
moves to amend the various bills
which come before the senate by
making this or that change in spell
ing, grammar or usage of words and
phrases, in each instance his sugges.
ton tending to improve the English
of the document, make more clear it's
meaning or correcting typographical

WHERE RED TAPE RULES,
De%Ilberation Marks Proceedings In
the Patent Office.

One thing has been discovered in
the department of the interior SLOW
err than it's elevator. This is the pros.
ess of getting a copy of the beautiful
magazine published there under the
enhancing title of The Patent Office
Gazette, said a wearylooking Wash
lngton man the other day. Il wanted
to find out something more about the
new Maxim %noiseless pistol, which is
to be such a priceless boon to high
waymen, and l made the fatal error
OF going to the patent Office to get it.
First | was told to walk a block to
the office of the chief clerk, where a
copy would be given to me. l walked
the block, but found on arrival that
the chief clerk had nothing to do with
the matter, n of his secretaries
pushing me forth upon a journey up
stairs and half a block down a CORR
dor to the room Of a clerk who was
said to have the distribution of the
magazines. When l finally made that
port and had told the clerk what 1
wanted he went to a cage and asked
a man confined therein to hand out a
copy of the last Gazette. The man
handed out a copy a week old, but the
clerk did not discover this until he
had been told three times, when he
managed to get the last one from the
cage. AT last 1 thought, I have
it. But such ineffable bliss was
fated not to be mine. The clerk went
back into his room. filled out a form,
and old me that l must go downstairs,
buy a hve-cent coupon from a financial
clerk and return with it, when he
would be ready to hand over a copy
of the Gazette. By this time almost
t~hree-quarters of an hour had elapsed,
and am a busy man; but l thought
had better follow the tangle of red
tape to it's finish, now that l had start
ed. So made the journey downstairs
to the financial clerks office and stood
around there watching persons lolling
in chairs and not offering to do any,
thing until encouragement overlook
me, when l went back upstairs and
told the clerk with the Gazette that
would have to send a boy with two or
three hours to spare to complete the
complicated transaction. l did not
get the Gazette that l went after, but
spent an instructive hour, for l
learned where the true elysium is sit
uated, the place where time does not
exist, the real country of dolce far
niente.' But woe to the visitor who
butts in and expects anything to be

AT WAR WITH MODERN CHARITY.
Washington Character Denoances Il
As Too Theoretical.

Folks call me queer because I'm
PRACTICAL" said a little old man who
has been floating about Washington
for several years carrying in his mind
and his inside coat pocket a scheme
CT practical charity" as he terms it,
which he desires to put into operation
in the District OF Columbia. His
scheme is outlined on a piece of pa
per, we'll worn and soiled, and he says
he has tried to interest congress in the
matter. but without avail.
Modern charity is too theoretical"
he explained. When a poor fellow is
hungry he wants food, not advice.
When he is cold he wants warmth, not
an essay or lecture on how to get work
and live cheaply. When he is without
sufnclent clothing and the pitiless
north wind is turning him blue with
Ole he wants warm clothing and not
talk on some scientific and theoretical
pia for solving the poverty problem"
NOW, my proposition" the old man
continued, lis for each community to
nave a refuge home and storerooms.
-.
The home to be, as it's name indicates,
a refuge for the homeless, with work
shop attachment and an employment
agency to furnish work for the unem-
ployed; the storerooms to supply food
and fuel to needy families. l would
also have an inebriate department and
engage in practical charitable work,
always under Christian auspices.
The motto of my institution would
be: Any man is worthy of food when
he is hungry; of warmth when he is
cold, and of clothes when he is naked
Every dollar we receive would be ey-
pended to alleviate human suffering in
this awful era of midnight bread lines
and 1dleness among the industrial
masses, and not a penny should go for
theory"

Old Order Bars Typewriter.

Discovery has been made of a war
department order, still in effect, which
was issued in 1883, before typewriters
came into general use. 1t directed
that the typewriter may not be EN-.
ployed in writing out sentences of gen.
eral courts martial. Since that time
the typewriter has come into such
general use that those who have occa.
sion to compile the records Of courts
martial have overlooked the old order.
Steps have been taken to revoke the
order and to substitute therefor a cir
cular authorizing the use of the type
writer in writing out the findings and
sentences, provided that the judges
advocate certify that the typewriter
findings and sentences were correct.

about twelve or fifteen years ago

have any peace because of it. Three
doctors did not help me. Then l used

cured me and l have not been bothered

In Defense of the Cat.

Is it a fact that the cat is an enemy
of birds and other animals to such
an extent that we could be better off
without the cat than without the crea-
lures he destroys? Without a census
it is impossible to decide this question,
but we have 10 doubt that if put to a
vote all the rats and mice in the world
would vote that the cats should go.
1t seems that here is another case
where it is not prudent to indulge ~
too wide CONGRATULATIONS. There are
cats and cats. Some people, and we
do not refer to the female sex unmar-
ried only, bestow an amount of affec.
ton on cats which if worthily bestowed
on some human being of the opposite
sex would greatly add to the joy of
the world. Some people do not like
cats in general or particular, but in
this country the principle of the
greatest good to the greatest number
applies, and on a vote by human be
tngs the cat would probably win.

Doorway of Proposed Temple.

of the most magnificent buildings in
the nations capital. Designed in a

completely detached on all sides, al
lowing many large exits from the prin-
cipal hall, the temple, which is calcu-
lated to cost a million dollars, will be
sure to add to the attractive and mon
umental buildings of the city.
The large hall planned for conven-
ton purposes with an immense seat
ing capacity will be on the ground
floor surrounded by a gallery on the
second floor, and also n on the third
floor.
The basement is to be fitted up
with all the features of a club,
Turkish bath, swimming pool, bowling
alleys, billiard table, etc, while on
the upper floors, besides the many spa
cious office rooms for the use of the
various labor organizations, there will
be several commodious reading rooms
and a library.
1t is still undecided whether the top
story will be used for a gymnasium
Or converted into a roof garden. The
structure, of course, is to be absolute.
ly fireproof and every precaution is be
ing taken to make the large audito'
rum perfectly safe.
In choosing an architect the Labor
Temple association found a man
among the membership of the Amer.
lean Federation of Labor, Mr.. Dore
Wolfsteiner, being a prominent violon'
cellist of the local Musicians union,
He is also an architect, having studied
for the profession at the Academic
Royale des Beaux-Arts of Brussels,
Belgium, and was for some time con
nected with the firm of Hurtre ct Boni-
fast, architects, in Paris.
The site, although practically de-
cided upon, is still kept a secret by the
Labor Temple association. 1t is
understood, however, that the temple
is to be located in a prominent bust
ness street.

doorway of the temple as planned.

Machine to Remove Snow.

A new piece of highway appliance
was put in use in Washington during
the winter for the clearing of snow
from the cutters. The apparatus is a
two-wheeled vehicle drawn by two
horses, and having a steel blade about
IS inches in width projecting beyond
the wheel into the gutter at an angle
with the curb, which blade is con.
trolled by a lever operated by the
driver from his seat. 1t was found
that a plow can clean the snow from
approximately three miles of cutters
per hour. A laborer using a shovel
will not clean much more than half
as many miles of cutters In eight
hours as a gutter pillow will in one
hour,
