yes to the usual question, and the

with long veil and wedding bouquet,

The bride dropped her hand from
the arm OF the bridegroom. She
turned and faced the crowded church
and answered loudly:
No; he has been unfaithful to me

BUYING PAINT sLINDLv.

Many people look upon paint buy
ing as lottery and so it is, the way
they do 1t. 1t is not necessarily so,
however. Pure White Lead and lin
seed oil are the essential elements of
good paint. Adulterants in white lead
can be easily found by the use Of a
blowpipe. Authorizations in linseed oil
can be detected with a fair degree of
certainty See that these two elements
are pure and properly put on and the
paint will stay put.

send blowpipe outfit and instruc-
tons for testing both white lead and
