Amounts Run Into the Millions IN

Before the end OF the season in April
there VIII have been spent for seats at

Opera Houses the sum Of $4,000. the
figures being based on the present ratio,

coo mnre than was spent last year, and
sets the high-water mark in the history
Of opera attendance anywhere in the
world
To the present time the total amount
taken in by both organizations runs to
more than Sl.J0o0o0. Last season the
Metropolitan Company established a new
figure with Sizes. 1000 received from all
sources; Oscar Hammerstein took in $50.
oco- Mr. Hammerstein's outlay was such
that he barely paid expenses. while the
Metropolitan paid a IS per cent dividend
on the $4,000 capital stock Of the COM
pany.
This year the Manhattan expenses will
run 10 more than $4,000. while the re-
ceipts there viii total $1,000. leaving the
courageous impresario with $500 on
the right side Of the ledger. The weekly
expenses at the Metropolitan are .. little
more than $4,000. II is probable that at
the end Of the season from 5000 70
$500 will be available for a dividend.

HOW TO KNOW PURE PAINT.
A Way In Which It May Be Identified
Before Using.

After a building has been painted
long enough for weather test, it Is
easy to tell If the paint used was made
telated knowledge comes like locking
the barn after the colt is stolen.
What one wants is a test that will
tell the quality of the paint before 1t
and the labor of putting 1t 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 .
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 il it con-
tains the slightest trace of adultera-
ton, 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
1t, and they guarantee that the pure
White Lead sold under their Dutch
Boy Painter trademark will always
prove absolutely pure under the blow
pipe" or any other test. To make it
easy for you to perform the expert
ment they will send you free upon re-
quest blow-pipe and everything nec-
essary for you to make the test, to-

Young Mems Chief Fault.


The fault with most young men is
that they are indolent and inclined to
shirk their duty. The man who always
tries to get on as easy as possible, and
when working for others does as little

ceives, will never advance, and never
amount to anything in life. Every
young man should through all his busi-
ness career constantly keep in mind
