PREVENTING PAINT TROUBLES.

It's easy enough to recognize the symptoms of poor paint, after it has been on awhile-after it's inherent tendency to crack and peel and scale and blister, etc, has developed into trouble. You know these paint dis eases" usually indicate adulteration or substitution in the paint materials. And you know the only remedy is re- painting.
 A little knowledge of paint and painting requirements, and how to made sure of the purity and quality of materials, would prevent all trou- ble, and save the big extra expense of re-painting; just as proper knowl- edge of simple health-laws, and ob- servance of them, prevents sickness.
 A complete painting guide, includ- ing book of color schemes, specifi- cations for all kinds of painting work, and an instrument for detecting adul- iteration in paint materials, with di- rections for using it. can be had free by writing National Lead Co., 1902 Trinity Bldg, New York, and asking for Houseowner's Painting Outfit No 49.
