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

After a building has been painted
long enough for a weather test, II is
easy to tell il the paint used was made
of pure White Lead or not. But such
belated 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 II
and the labor of putting it on are
paid for.
Nature has provided a way in which
genuine White Lead may be positive
" 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 ~resolveitself back
into metallic lead. If, however, it is
not genuine White Lead, or il 1t 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
it, 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 1t
easy for you to perform the expert
ment they will send you free upon re-
quest a blow-pipe and everything nec-
essary for you to make the test, to-
gether with a valuable booklet on
paint. Address, National Lead Com

/ have never heretofore been a can

been a Republican, believe that the

/ believe that the honest man with
small means pays more than his fair

for the shrewd men with large means
to escape taxation altogether. That
the tax law should be thoroughly re-
vised.
/ believ that the popular outcry
against corporations is well founded,
but that only half the evil is with the
corporations, the other half is with
the officers and others who have al.

corporation wealth. That we have

40! Irlend fOley and the BreeZes,
That you love to feel and know
While they play around the templex
OF the man in sunset glow!
Yes, we see him facing westward
Hunting for quiet place
Where he need not see a nabor,
Nor put on a friendly face
Yes, we know he loves the prairie
And its boundless grassy waves
Seeks the shelter OF the thicket
Where the river quietly laves
Banks, where grapes are hung in
clusters
Where the muskrat makes his home
And it's only man that posters
Quiet wood folk as they roam
So we farmers see the trapper
Seek the sunset and its glow
Where the cowboy and his lariot
Have displaced the buffalo
See the sunrise somewhat frosty,
Ushers in glorious dawn
And the prairies in their glory
Offer tribute to the man
rem
Wife and happy fireside cline
And he makes the prairie blossom
This is surely Gods good time!
See him plow and SOW and harvest
In the happy summer days
Hear him whistle merry ditties
AS he calls the sheep in ways
Very near upon the prairie
Very pleasant in their cheer,
For the children pet the colties
And they often train the steer.
See the help the wife and mother
Finds in this and that machine
Wash day brings but little labor
Yet the clothes are sweet and clean
Oh! who turns the separator?
No, the cream is never turned
AS when steps to shelf and cellar
Womens weary foot had burned.
Now the cash is very pleasant
From the creamery and phone
While the daily mail delivered
Shows in word and look and tone.

Yes, dear Foley, life's worth living
On our busy prairie farm
And we offer to your trapper
Zen chimney corner warm
While We sing at evenings closing
With a heart upturned to God
Praise and love and hopes etelnal
For the Dawn on Prairie Sod.
