USED CHURCH AS scHooLRooM
Proceedings That Somewhat Aston
ished the Sexton.

The sexton of one church that keeps
open doors all day long didn't know
whether to regard the matter in the
light of dissertation or devotional
exercise. He paid no attention when
the three women, watched by q man
who stood at the lower end of the
aisle, walked the length of the church
and back again. Even when they made
the trip a second time he scarcely gave
them thought, but when the trio
started around the church third time
and the man called out, step little
more briskly, please" he began to
wonder, and presently made inquiry.
Il hope you won't be offended" the
man replied. Il am physical culture
instructor. I am teaching these young
ladies to walk. have already taught
them to walk in the street, in the
drawing room, in the theater and every
place else they are likely to find them
selves. I am now teaching them to
walk in church. Very few women can
walk there properly. Some iope, some
swagger, some skip, others adopt a
mincing gait. All these styles are
very inappropriate for church. A dig
nified, subdued gait alone is suitable
for devotional purposes. Church Ia
the best place for pupils in walking to
receive practical instruction, therefore
/ have brought them here"
Great fathers!" gasped the sexton
What next7"
But he said no more till the walk
ing exercise was ended. Then he fol
lowed the class to the door.
IT hope" he said. you will practice
the lesson learned to-day by coming
here to church once In a while"

WHAT THE TRADE MARK MEANS
TO THE BUYER

Few people realize the Importance
OF the words Trade Mark stamped
on the goods they buy. If they did
spent for worthless goods and put a
lot of INSCRIPTIONS manufacturers
out of the business.
When manufacturer adopts O.
trade mark he assumes the entire re-
sponsibility for the merit of his prod
uct. He takes his business repu-
tion In his hands-out In the lime
light-"on the square" with the buy
er of his goods, with the dealer, and
with himself.
The other manufacturer-the one
who holds out Inducements" offer
ing to brand all goods purchased with
each local dealers brand - sidesteps
responsibility, and when these infe-
rior goods come back" it's the local
DEALER that must pay the penalty.
Al good example of the kind OF pro-
lection afforded the public by trade
mark is that offered in connection
with National Lead Company's adver-
Using of pure White Lead as the best
paint material.
That the Dutch Boy Painter trade
mark is an absolute guaranty of puri-
ty in White Lead Is proved to the
.. most skeptical by the OFFER National
Lead Company make to send free to
any address a blow-pipe and instruc
| tions how to test the white lead fol
| themselves. The testing outfit Is be
ing sent out from the New Yorl
Office of the company, Woodbridge
