PAINT DURABILITY.

The first thought in painting should
OF course, be durability-and dura.
bility means simply pure paint prop
erly applied. Pure paint is pure
white lead and linseed oil with or
without tnting materially.
Some years ago the paint-buyer was
likely to get adulterated or counter
felt white lead If he was not familiar
with brands. To-day he may buy
with perfect safety If he only makes
sure that the Dutch Boy Painter
trademark is on the packages OF
white lead that he buys. This trade
mark was adopted by National Lead
Company to distinguish the pure
white lead made by them from the
worthless adulterated and fake goods.
1t is a guarantee as valuable to the
HORSEPOWER as the education of a
paint expert could be.

The Ever Chanqinq Waist Line.

Consider the mental agility it takes
to keep up with ones waist line One
goes to bed at night in the sweet assur-
ance that it will be under the arms for
the next two or three months at any
rate, and awakes to learn from the
headlines in the morning papers that
waist line is positively at the knees.
There is absolutely no use in prognos-
ticating anything about it any longer.
That the waist line occurred at the
waist was an axiom accepted as un.
questionably as that the earth revolves
on its axis. but in these days of higher
criticism is likely to be anywhere. 1t
