a Troublesome plant,

Houston Post: The water hyacinth,
the beautiful marine plant of green
leaves and exquisite flowers, which has
done such a great damage TO commerce
in Louisiana and east Texas, is mak =
ing it's appearance in the ship chan
mel.
A few years ago the water hyacinth
was brought from Florida TO Louisiana
as a floral ornament. Last G the
government expended 100000 in an
effort to control the pest and has only
partly succeeded. Streams and bayous
which once carried big barges of lum-
Der in Louisiana and eastern Texas
have been closed to navigation by the
rank vegetation of the hyacinth.
The Sabine river. above Orange, has
become filed with the plants, and it is
related that these all grew from a few
plants carelessly thrown into the river
by some housewife when the plants she
a in a tub as an ornament became
too numerous.
The matter has been brought to the
attention of the city authorities, and
steps have already been taken to des-
troy before ii is too late all the hya-
cinths at San Houston park and those
which nave got into the bayou. A
boat is to be sent along the lower
reaches and all h%yacinths carefully
gathered and destroyed. 1t is antici-
pated that there may be some legis-
lative action prohibiting the growing
to throw any of them into a stream
and furnishing any one so careless as
TO throw any of them into a sream
which is of any use for any purpose.

Rachelnr,s Comfort.

Colgate Hoyt, the president OF the
American Automobile club, was argu-
ing at the end of "A recent club meeting
about the Ubiquitous automobile law.
Your suggestion" said Hoyt to his
opponent, offers very cold comfort. 1t
is bachelors comfort-that is to say,
no comfort at all.

diet, only married a year, and already

The bachelor patted the blue mar

sive article, hat is true; but then you
must remember that she lasts a very
long time"

HOW TO KNOW
PURE PAINT
A Way In Which 1t May Be Iden.
titled Before Using.

After a building has been painted
long enough for a weather test, it is
easy to tell If the paint used was made
of pure White Lead or not. But such
belated knowledge comes like locking
the barn after the colt Is stolen.
What one wants is "A test that will
tell the quality of the paint before it
and the labor of putting it on are paid
for.
Nature has provided a way in which
genuine White Lead may be positively
distinguished from adulterated or fake
White Lead before you spend a cent
on your painting.
Pure White Lead is made from me
tallic lead, and. under intense heat,
such as is produced by a blow-pipe,
pure White Lead will resolve itself
back into metallic lead. If. however.
it is not genuine White Lead, or II it
contains the slightest trace OF adulter-
alton, the change will not take place.
Therefore the ''blow-pipe' test is an
absolute and final one.
The National Lead Company are
urging every one interested in painting
to make this test Of paint before using
ii, and they guarantee that the pure
White Lead sold under their Dutch
Boy Painter" trademark will always
prove absolutely pure under the
"blow-pipe' or any other test. TO
make it easy for you to perform the
experiment they will send you free
upon request, a blow-pipe and every
thing necessary for you to make the
test, together with a valuable booklet
on paint. Address. National Lead
