Constsntinople, Feb. 1S.-No further reports have been received Of earth quake which destroyed a number of government buildings and dwelling houses at Sivss Tuesday in Asiatic Turkey. and the rumor given publicity in the United States that 10000 per sons had been lost is clearly gross exaggeration. The actual loss Of life has not yet been learned, but so far as the present information goes thirty persons were killed.

AN INTERESTING PAINT TEST

There is a very simple and interest
ing chemical test by which to detect
impurity in paint materials. Thou
sands and thousands of people, all over
the country, ara making this test. It
is a sure way to safeguard against
the many adulterated white leads
which are on the market Any one
can make the test-all that is needed
is a simple little instrument which
may be had free by writing National
Lead Company, 1902 Trinity Building,
New York, and asking for House
owners Painting Outfit No. 40.
The outfit includes also a set of color
schemes for exterior or interior paint
ing, or both, if you wish, and 4 book
Of specifications. No HORSEPOWER
should make any arrangements for
painting till he gets this outfit
One can't expect a satisfactory paint
ing job without pure white lead. There
is way to make sure you're getting a
pure white lead-without testing it. See
that the key bears National Lead Com
pany's famous Dutch Boy Painter trade
mark, which is a positive guarantee of
purity. Your dealer probably has
this white lead. If not let National
Lead Company know.

To Help Him Save.

H H. Rogers plunged into the poll
tics of Fairhaven last month in order
to secure prohibition for the beauti-
full Massachusetts town that is his
birthplace.
"Mr Rogers is against drinking"
said a Fairhaven man. HE thinks,
for one thing, that drinking brings on
extravaganza and thriftlessness.
"Mr. Rogers stopped and shook
hands with me on the street the 9th
er morning.
"'Glad to see you out again. he
said Hope you'll vote the right tick
et You've been sick, haven't you?
Yes, said 1. Stomach trouble. I

stipation yielded to the scientific food,

with such terrible constipation that
had to use laxatives continuously 60

"a prominent physician whom l con-
suited told me the muscles of the di-
gestive organs were partially par
alyzed and could not perform their
work without help of some kind, so I
have tried at different times about
every laxative and cathartic known,
but found no help that was at all per-

hopeless when l began to use the pre-
