PUTTING Ii Concretely.

Although Mr.. Lawton was wont to
indulge in a sort OF language which
left his hearers in some doubt as to
his exact meaning, yet when he was
put to it, he never failed to make
himself understood.
No, ! shouldn't want to live in a
house like Philanders,' he announced
TO Mrs. Lawton on the evening of his
return from a visit TO a nephew. His

The Church Holiday Gives Employ.

From religion to business is a big
jump in the lives of most men-too
many people OF this world trying TO

perhaps that some of their business
methods might not measure up 10

holidays-has pronounced effect

no holiday, religious or civic-not

When Mr.. b. went to call upon some
friends the other afternoon, he was on
his way out of town and so had his
travelling bag with him. This he
placed in a corner, and when he rose
to leave he overlooked it. His hostess
happened to notice it before he had
reached the door, and called to her
little daughter:
Marie. run after Mr.. b. and tell
him he has left his grip here!"
The little one gave her mother one
swift glance of surprise, but flew duti-
fully to obey orders.
"Oh, Mr.. b." they heard her say.

take your grip with you" Then she

apology: you see, most all OF us

MAcHINE-eRoUND PAINT.

Occasionally one hears the hand
mixed paint Of the painter slightingly
spoken of as "unscientific" and mot
thoroughly mixed The facts are all
on the side of the painter and his hand
prepared paint.
1t is the most scientific" paint there
is, because IL is made on the spot to
suit the particular purpose for which
it is to be used. IL is as scientific as
n good doctors prescription. II the
painter did not mix it thus il would
be as unscientific as a patent medi-
cine. Moreover. the paint which a
good painter turns out is made OF
genuine white lead and pure linseed
oil. If he does not mix IL himself he
is not sure what is in it, and conse-
quently his client cannot be sure.
AS for not being thoroughly mixed
by machinery. that is simply mis-
statement. White Lead as made by

A WIDE-AWAKE OFFICIAL,

Once more, through the vigil
ance of Secretary of State Julius
A. Schmahl, the corporations
have been made to toe the line.
This time it is the railroads.
Mr.. Schnahl discovered that
nearly every railroad operating
in the state had been violating
the law requiring licenses to be
taken out for ticket agents. Some
of the roads had simply ignored
the law; others claimed not to
know of its existence. The rail
roads themselves were the ones
to besiege the legislature to pass
the law in order to kill the ticket
scalpers. The legislature did as
asked. The law requires that
ticket agent must not only be
licensed, but must prove himself
an authorized representative OF
common carrier. Mr.. Schmahl
intends that the railroads shall
wear the coat they asked to have
made for themselves. Mr..
Schmahl is the kind of an official
the people want. There is no
question about the big majority
that should be rolled up for him
at his reelection the coming
November.

Public Health Notice

Several cases of diphtheria have
appeared in the city during the
past few days. Parents are urged
to be on their guard, and, in case
of any throat symptoms, however
slight, to have the child examined
by physician. The disease may
be very mild at the onset, the pa
tient not feeling sick enough to
stay in bed, or even away from
school. These mild cases, often
not recognized, are the most active
in spreading the contagion. Treat
ment administered early in the dis
ease almost invariable brings about
an early recovery, while neglect
ed case may result fatally, in spite
of all that cam be done. Due care
on the part of parents will be a
powerful aid in checking the spread
of the disease, and may be the
means of preventing a serious cpl
demic and the closing of the schools
and churches.
