A SIMPLE SAFEGUARD IN BUYING
PAINT.

Everybody should know how simple
and easy 1t Is to avoid all uncertainty
in buying paint materials. There are
many so.called white leads on the
market, which contain chalk, zinc,
barytes, and other cheap adulterants.
Unless the property owner takes ad
vantage Of the simple means of pro-
lection afforded him by reliable white
lead manufacturers, he runs great risk
OF getting an inferior and adulterated
white lead.
1t Is to protect the paint-buyer
against fraud and adulteration that

makers OF genuine Pure White Lead
place their famous Dutch Boy Paint

TO make a practical test of white lead
and who wants valuable free book
about painting, should address Ma

Peonies as a Medicine.

Peonies were originally esteemed
less for beauty Of bloom than for value
curative virtues, the peony was named
after Paeon, the physician of the

Alcydes crdell maladie." Nor did the
use of the plant stop there, for peony
water was esteemed and drank in by
gone times, though whether as medi-
cine or merely as refreshing tenn
perance beverage is more than modern
writer's can say.

You cannot blame hungry cat for

they will not be apt to form these bad
habits.

or to put sod in the bottom OF 1t, so
that there may be some degree OF

The highest prices for roasting

bring the largest returns. A good hen
