mAcniNE-cRouND PAINT.

Occasionally one hears the hand
mixed" paint of the painter slightins;y
spoken of as "unscientific" and mot
thoroughly mixed" The facts are all
on the side of the painter and his hand
prepared paint.
It is the most scientific" paint there
is, because 1t IL made On the spot to
suit the particular purpose for which
it is to be used. 1t Is as scientific as
a good Doctors prescription. II the
painter did not mix. 1t thus 1t would
be as unscientific as patent medi-
cine. Moreover. the paint which .
good painter turns out. is made of
genuine white lead and pure linseed
oil. II he does not mix it 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
National Lead Company is thorough
~ incorporated with or 8 per cent.
of pure Linseed oil in the factory, max
ing a paste. This paste need only be
thinned with additional linseed oil to
make it ready for the brush.
The thorough incorporation OF pig
ment and oil has already been accom-
.plished before the painter gets it.
To know how to tell pure white lead
is a great advantage to both painter
and HORSEPOWER. National Lead Com
pany will send tester free to anyone
interested. Address the company at

wouldn't have found the opportunity.
Some one thought to be wise said
that a good run was better than q
bad stand, but it is not true. AS long
as you think it is good to run you'll
keep on runnin'. And when you run
once it is an easy matter to make up
your mind that to stand is bad. When
ever MAN is branded as coward all
the other towards want. to take a
whack at him. Therefore it is better
to be whipped every day in the week
than to run once: for with the comm
of the next: week the situation is
mighty apt to undergo change. Bad
stands stood get better all the. time.
