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.

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 a new
idea. AS early as 1915 4 woman post
master was appointed to look after
the mails of Braine lie Comte, an i'm
pOrtant town of Franco. In the try
ing times Of the Thirty Years war,
the principal office in the postal serv-
ice of Europe was held by a woman
A~leXandrine de Rue From 1923 to
l646 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 a place in the
postal department. She had charge
of the letters in Portsmouth, y. 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.

WHAT IS PAINT?

The paint or a house is the extreme
outside OF the house. The wood is
simply a structural under layer. That
is as it should be. Unprotected wood
will not well withstand weather. But
paint made a 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 wellconstruct-
ed building may be greatly depre.
ciated by lack Of painting or by poor
painting.
National Lead Company have made
it 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 G complete guarantee.

GREAT AVENUE SAFE
Trades Ta!ons Not to Grip

Not Ever a Philharmonic Palace viii
Be Tolerated on Proud Paris Thor"
oughfare and Children's Para
disc Along its Course.

Paris.-The probability that the
Champs Elysees. the n0blest avenue
in the world, will always be preserved
as an artistic promenade and a chill
dren's paradise has been strengthened
by action just taken by the municipal
council Of Paris. The council not
only refused to grant a permit for the
construction of a Philharmonic palace
on the site of the now defunct sum
mel circus, but voted to investigate
concessions previously granted, look
ing to the removal of some of the
music halls and restaurants now -four.
ishing there.
This official action is in keeping
with the true Partisan spirit. The one
occasion on which the Frenchman
looses his pursestrings without a muir
muir IS when an expenditure for mu-
nicipal establishment is proposed.
No other city watches over the beauty
of its boulevards and parks with such
jealous care. Succeeding municipal
administrations differ widely on all
other points, but, whether the govern
ment is nationalist or socialist, its
first aim is invariably to maintain in
tact the artistic inheritance of Ell
ropes most beautiful capital.
There was almost a revolt. y years
ago, when a tramway company asked
a concession for a track across the
avenue in a side street. This right
was finally bestowed but had the
council granted a subsequent appli.
cation for a track along the Champs
Elysees itself the lives Of the city
legislators would have been threat
ened by an aroused populace.
The single track across the drive.
way has always been regarded as a
scar. 1t is not improbable that in
a few years the tramway company
Will be required to construct a tun'
mel beneath the surface of the street.
1t is by underground passages that
the city already is proposing to handle
the foot traffic without interfering
with the perpetual stream of vehicles
or marring the beauty of the thor
oughfare through the construction of
viaducts. The first of these subter'
