WHAT is PAI&rf

The paint on a house is the extreme
outside of the house. The wood is
simply structural under layer. That
is as it should be. Unprotected wood
will not well withstand weather. But
paint made of pure white lead and
linseed oil is an invulnerable armor
against sun and rain, heat and cold.
Such paint protects and preserves,
fortifying the perishable wood with a
complete metallic casing.
And the outside of the house is the
looks of the house. A well-construct-
ed building may be greatly depre-
ciated by lack of painting or by poor
painting.
National Lead Company have made
1t possible for every building owner
to be absolutely sure of pure white
lead paint before applying. They do
this by putting upon every package
of their white lead their Dutch Boy
Painter trademark. That trademark
is complete guarantee.

Women in Postal Service.

The distinction of first appointing a
woman postmaster does not belong to
America, nor is the employment of
women in the postal service new
idea. AS early as 1913 woman post
master was appointed to look after
the n ais of Braine lie Comte, an i'm
portant town of France. In the try
ing times of the Thirty Years war,
the principal office in the postal serv-
ice of Europe was held by woman,
Alexandrine de Rue. From 1923 to
1916 she was in charge of the mails
Of the German empire, the Neither
lands, Burgundy and Lorraine. She
was known as a master general of the
mails. In America, Elizabeth Harvey
was the first to hold place in the
postal department. She had charge
of the letters in Portsmouth, N. H., in
the beginning of the seventeenth cen
fury. A half century afterward Lydia
Hill was placed in charge of the post
office in Salem, Mass.

Why We Are Stronger.

The old Greeks and Romans were
great admirers of health and strength;
their pictures and statuary made the
muscles of the men stand out like
cords.
AS a matter of fact we have ath-
letes and strong men-men fed on
fine strength making food such as
Quaker Scotch Oats-that would win
in any contest with the old Roman or
Greek champions.
It's a matter of food. The finest food
for making strength of bone, muscle
and nerve is fine oatmeal. Quaker
Scotch Oats is the best because it is
pure, no husks or stems or black
specks. Farmers wives are finding
that by feeding the farm hands plenti-
fully on Quaker Scotch Oats they get
the best results in work and economy.
If you live in hot climate buy Quaker
Scotch Oats in Theoretically sealed
tins. 1t keeps sweet. and fresh. 2
