WHAT is PAiNTf

The paint on a house is the extreme
outside Of the house. The wood IL
simply structural under layer. That
Is as 1t 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
II 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 a complete guarantee.

Nevada, Lloyd and Wilbur Fenton,
two boys, while playing near a deep
gulch on their fathers farm near
Sandstone, in this county, saw piece
of silk cloth partly buried in the
ground. One of the boys pulled at the
cloth and disclosed the fingers and
arm bones of human being. Further
examination disclosed that a woman
with her skull crushed had been bur

The woman is supposed to have been
murdered last fall, when two men and
woman were seen camping near the

disappeared and two days afterward
the men departed. Nothing found near

you think so?"

He laughed. but the troubled look

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 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
Oats is the best because it is pure, no
husks or stems or black specks. Farm

the farm hands plentifully on Quaker
