PAINT FAULTS.

1t is a common occurrence nova
days to hear a man remark with dis
gust: 1T is impossible to have good
painting done these days; either the
paint is not good or there are no good
painters" This, however, is not true.
There is good paint, and there are
good painters. But the question is,
bringing them together.
One cannot expect a satisfactory
painting job without pure white lead.
There is a way to make sure you are
getting pure white lead without test
ing it. See that the keg bears Ma
tional Lead Company's famous Dutch
Boy Painter trademark, which is a
positive guarantee of purity. However,
anyone can test white lead National
Lead Company, 1902 Trinity Bldg,

tester and painters outfit, consisting
of book of color schemes, specifica-
tons, ETC., upon request.

HUMoR BURNED AND ITCHED.
Eczema on Hand, Arms, Legs and
FACET Was Something Terrible.
Complete Cure by Cutieura.

about fifteen or eighteen years
ago eczema developed on top of my
hand. 1t burned and itched so much
that I was compelled to show it to a
doctor. He pronounced it ringworm.
After trying his different remedies the
disease increased and went up my
arms and to my legs and finally on my
face. The burning was something
terrible. l went to another doctor who
had the reputation of being the best
in town. He told me it. was eczema.
His medicine checked the advance Of
the disease, but no further. I finally
concluded to try the Cuticura Rene
dies and found relief in the first trial.

cured from the disease, and l have

AS St. Louis Lawyers Talk.

Circuit Judge Reynolds had an
nounced that he would hear jurors
who had excuses to offer for not serv-
ing, and a dozen American citizens
crowded up to the bench to tell their
troubles. Their excuses were as
varied as those who were hidden to
the feast that the bible tells about.
One had an important engagement
and another could not hear very well,
and another had sickness in his fam
lily, and another had duties to per-
form which nobody else on earth could
perform, and another was going on
a journey. And so it went.
The last man in the line wanted to
be let off because he was a German.
He might have been excused if he had
not presented his excuse wrong end
forward.
Judge" he said, 81 can't understand
good English"
"Oh, you'll do all right said the
Judge. There is no good English
spoken in here" st Louis Post-Dis-

Chanqed Farm Life.

The dull silence that hung over that
New England dinner table has been
lifted of late. 1t is gone like the
dew in the sunlight of the new social
influences. The isolation of the farm
was the chilling cause that drove men
into the cities. Now, by telephone and
free mail delivery, all the warm
world currents are being carried to
the country and are vitalizing the ru-
raj community into life that is rich
and abundant in the variety of its in
terests. A real heart hunger has
been answered. Over hill and down
dale flashes the impulse that electri-
fies existence with the thrill Of human
life touching other human life.-De-
lineator.

They Didn't Have to Change.

During the years in which our pure
food laws have been put into effect
there has been a great hurrying and
scurrying on the part of the food man.
ufacturers to change their methods to
make them conform to the law.
The Quaker Oats Company is a con-
spicuous exception. It was admitted
that Quaker Scotch Oats was as pure
and clean as possible and that it was
an ideal food.
It is so cheap that any one can af-
ford it and so nourishing that every.
one needs it. The result of last years
experiments at Yale and other points
where food values were tested is that
Quaker Scotch Oats has been adopted
by many persons as their food on
which they rely for adding vigor and
endurance of muscle and brain.
