How Your Floors Look
After Long Use

That's the real test of Floor Finish.
ELASTlCA stands this test.
ELASTICA Floor Finish keeps its origi-
nal beauty-its smoothness and lustre-
right through the hardest daily use.
The secret is in our special treatment
and ageing OF the oil.
1t is the mastery of the oil that has
enabled us, after forty years of varnish
making experience, TO produce a varnish
that remains tough and elastic. when it
is dry on the floor.
1t is the lack of this oil perfection that
causes ordinary varnishes 20 become brit
tie in short time.
A year ago ten pieces of glass were
coated with ten different brands of floor
finish, one of which was ELASTICA.
The coats of these pieces of glass have
just been tested with a pen knife. One
coat after another cracked in every di-
rection. and flew to pieces. Nine coats
were thus destroyed.
The tenth was the piece coated with
ELASTlCA. The knife blade was slipped
under the finish and it was raised up clean
and whole like a ribbon.

Washington, March D. presi-
 dent Roosevelt, fed, praised, and farewelled the Tennis Cabinet today.
 1t happened at a luncheon which began at 1.3O in the State dining room at the White House and if there ever was such an odd assortment of humanity punched together at one time under the historic roof before it has certainly escaped the not ice of the newspapers. While the ''feed' was given to the Tennis Cabinet" primarily, a few Of the Presidents other intimates, whom he wished the members Of the Tennis Cabinet" to meet were there as guests.
 The luncheon marked the of ficial finish of that famous CO., terie of afternoon spOrtsmen that has been the power behind the White House. for seven and a half years. If any Of the mem bers aspire to similar influence in the Taft administration they will have to discard racquets for the butter.

DYNAMITE NEGRO HOUSES

De Queen, March L. Several days ago notices were posted warning negroes to get off the public works or they would be run out of town.
 The negroes did not heed the warning and at o'clock last night the houses were blown, up by dynamite. No one was hurt. It is supposed the intent was to blow up the church house during the services while it was filled with negroes.
 All the negroes are greatly a armed and many will emigrate. The trouble was caused by the importation of negro labor to do public work. There is no clue to the identity of the perpetra- tors.
