WHAT Is PAINT9

The paint on 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 we'll 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

Keep out of doors all you can.
Breathe outdoor air, live in it, revel
in it. Don't shut yourself up. Build
your houses so that the air supply
is good. Throw away your portieres
and bric-a-brac. Don't have useless
trifies about you.
Have a favorite form of exercise
and make the most of it. Ride on
horseback if you can; cycle if you can
not get horse; do anything to get
out in the open air.
Don't overeat. Drink little and let
that little be pure. Don't try to
dress too much, yet dress as well as
you are able. Wear everything you
can to make yourself lovely.
