COMPLAINTS ABOUT PAINT.

The time tc complain about paint
is before the painter Npplies 1t. The
man who puts up the money should
not shirk the responsibility OF choos-
ing the paint. True, the painter
ought to know paint better than the
banker, the professional man or the
merchant The trouble IS. the house
owner too often deliberately bars the
competent and honest painter from
the job by accepting a bid which he
ought to know would make an honest
job impossible.
Secure your bids on the basis of
National Lead Company's pure White
Lead and pure Linseed Oil and see
that you get these materials.
No one need be fooled by adulter-
ated white lead. A blowpipe testing
outfit will be mailed to anyone inter-
eSted in paint.

The President On Bigelow.

Attending one of President Roose-
velt's luncheOns, a guest sought to
entertain the company with this an
ecdote:
When the Emperor of Germany
first got a graphOphone he marveled
at it, and at once wanted TO see how
it worked. He took it apart and thea
put it together again, perfectly read
justing from memory every piece of
minute mechanism
Mr.. Roosevelt was interested-till
the speaker added, 1.-The Kaiser's
friend, Poultney Bigelow, tells the
story"
At that Mr.. Roosevelt drew in his
breath and rejoined through set
teeth:
II wish somebody would take
Poultney Bigelow apart and forget
how TO set him together again!"

That general business conditions
are improving all along the line was
also the unanimous opinion of these
men, who are in close touch with all
sections.
The growing wealth of the coun-
try will not permit business to re-

time" they said. IF the crops are
indication they will be, there is likely
to be a business revival that will sur
pass anything of the kind the country
has ever experienced.
THAT the people have more money
than they ever had before is demon
strated by the fact that there is about

months ago"
Last fall more than 100000, 900
of gold was imported from Europe
Since then only about 100000 has

Bankers also pointed out that proof
of the general improvement in the
situation was contained in the re-.

st. Louis, Mo.-The most hopeful
sign of an improvement soon to come
In the condition of business is the for
nation CT the National Prosperity AS
ISOLATION of st. Louis, with its slogan,
Let us alone" and its platform,
Give us a rest and sunshine"
Numerous organizations through
out the country have taken up the
matter, and already the outlook is
brighter.
All thinking men agree that the
two greatest curses in this country
are the politicians and the yellow
journals, and any association formed
to combat the harm they have done
and are doing can but result in good
for the country.
The National Prosperity Associa-
ton of st. Louis was organized, fol-
lowing an address of B. +. Yoakum,
chairman of the Executive Board of
the Rock Island-'Frisco railroads be-
fore the st. Louis Trade Club. His
Let us alone" suggestion was taken
up by the business organizations, and
a Give us rest and sunshine" cam
paign planned. under the National
Prosperity Association.
The purpose of the organization
Is to inaugurate national movement
for the restoration of confidence, and
a general revival of commercial and
industrial activity. The platform,
adopted unanimously by the leaders
of the movement. is-To keep the
dinner pail full, to keep the pay car
going, to keep the factory busy. TO
keep the workmen employed, to keep
the present wages up.
The idea spread like wildfire
throughout the country. and to aid in
the dissemination of the cheer the
Executive Committee had printed
100000 copies of the platform.
These, with letters, were sent to
every business, labor and civic organ
iZation in the United States.
Through all the avenues of public
ity the give US a rest" declaration
has circulated rapidly and effectually,
reaching hamlets on the country cross
roads and settlements on the inter-
national boundaries, and from all
parts of the United States are coming
spontaneous responses.
The movement is now far beyond
the period Of an exchange of greet
ings and assurances, and there are
numerous tangible evidences that it
will lead soon into an actual national
assertion against pernicious agita-
ton. The fair deal, sunshine and
square meal" principle is expressed
in all the letters received, and the
officers of the association are aston
ished at the number and tone of let
tiers from corporations and individ-
uals in distant parts of the country.
Merchants, railroad men, bankers,
brokers and men conducting every
other sort Of business Joined in the
new slogan, "let us alone" sounded
against the indiscriminate flaying OF
corporate interests.
With one accord they agreed that
it is time to put a stop to the destruc-
ton of economic stability that such a
policy caused
The most encouraging messages in
the mass received were from New
York, Chicago and Kansas City. The
idea seems to have taken hold almost
instantly in the East and Middle
