Important to All
Who Use Paint
A Few Words Of Advice Which, if Fol
lowed, Will Save You Half Your
Paint Bills.

In another part of this issue a very
tempting offer IS made by the Carrara
Paint Company to send to any one.
free, a series Of valuable color plans
made by their expert colorist, showing
how any particular house can be made
the most beautiful In the neighbOr-
hood, with an estimate of how much
can be saved and how little 1t will cost
to paint it, and we suggest to every one
Of our readers who is thinking Of do
ing any painting, to refer to the article
above mentioned for fuller information
and send for the Carrara Company's
valuable color sketches. You can posi-
lively save over half your paint money
and at the same time get the best
paint in the world, and one that will
never fade.
The Carrara Paint Company, of Gin
cinnati, Ohio, one of the largest paint
makers in the world. has undoubtedly
solved the problem Of good paint.
The presence of white lead as a base
for paints positively destroys the life
of the paint. The reason is white lead
is natural oxidizer, even in linseed
oil, 80 that the color. gloss and dura-
bility of the paint is lost after several
months time. Carrara Paint never
fades, cracks, blisters or peels, It paints
with hard enamel-lllSe finish and
gloss which remains in spite Of the
severest weather and can be washed
without injury; 1t lasts three or four
times longer than ordinary paint; and
covers from one-third to one-half more
surface per gallon. II can be used for
wood, tin iron, brick. stone, tile. ce-
ment or plaster, and WILL ALWAYS
preserve its gloss and its clear color.
One never has to add more oil to the
Carrara Paint he uses; It has no sedi-
ment, but has one consistency from
top to bottom. no matter how long it
has been standing.

MAY NOT PASS
PENSION BILL

WASHINGTON. March 2i-Now it is the
widows who are stirring up trouble in
Congress.
Some time ago the House Committee on
Pensions reported a bill increasing from
IS to S12 a month the pensions Of all Wild
ows Of the veterans of all wars. This
measure, which promptly passed the
House, adds about S1O,OOO.OoO year to the
pension rolls. The Senate has also passed
the bill. 1t is now in conference and is
clamoring for admission to the offices OF
President Roosevelt.
Certain prominent Republicans. not op-
posed to the widows on personal grounds
but opposed to the measure which appro-
PIRATES sl0O0O000 for their benefit. have
given notice that If this measure is en-
acted into law they will vote for any old
bill that provides for taking money out
OF the treasury. They say there is no
necessity for the enactment Of the Widows
measure, that It is out Of place, and II
passed will contradict the cry Of economy
that has been raised by the House lead
ers. The indications are that the widows
bill will die In conference.

One, UnCODSCiOus Of
Cargo, i al Sea

Fifteen members OF the crew OF the
dynamite-laden British steamship Kiora
mutinied yesterday when they learned
that the steamship was bound for Colon
with 1000 tons of dynamite several hun
dred tons of nitroglycerin and sundry
other high explosives.
Captain Jose had just superintended the
storing away of the last box of dynamite
at Thompson's Point when one of the
crew discovered the nature Of the cargo.
Breathless, the man rushed to his COM
panions and impaired the Information that
enough explosive was stored beneath the
decks to blow everybody aboard to a oms.
The crew at first declined to believe the
report.
When the vessel was ready to weigh
anchor one Of the sailors went to CAPITA n
Jose and demanded to know what kind of
cargo was on board. The captain made
light of the query and told the sailor not
to fear. as the cargo was in no danger
Of going Off.
The men mutinied, however, and a sec
ond crew was engaged.
The Kiora passed out from Delaware
Breakwater yesterday afternoon with the
new crew in utter ignorance of the dan
gerous nature Of the cargo stored beneath
her decks.
