OVERLOOKED FOODS.

Much good, wholesome food is prac-
tically wasted by being overlooked.
Overlooking is the principal objection
to canned meats. because food that is
otherwise excellent in quality has been
spoiled in the process of cooking, and
has. therefore. become practically un-
fit for use.
Meat must be cooked to a certain
point. bat once that point is reached
further cooking is downright waste of
material. both as regards quality and
quantity.
Good food is often spoiled by too
rapid cooking Meat which is allow
ed to boil after the preliminary five
minutes becomes hard, tough and
tasteless, and is most indigestible,
owing to the hardening of the albu-
men all through the meat.

WHAT IS PAINT?

The paint on a house is the extreme
outside Of the house. The wood is
simply a 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
it 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 q complete guarantee.

Sept. 9th, at 3:35 p. m. Mr.. Hartman
had been in i'll health for a long time.
He was born in Hampstead, Long Is

His death had been expected for
several days. On Sunday he suffered

acute indigestion, and he was unable

which then threatened his life. With
him at the time of his death were all

This summer he went to Europe to
consult the greatest specialists there,
but he was not benefited. On his re-
turn to this country he went at once
to his magnificent country home at
Arden, where death occurred.

Pacific slope have shown him as he
was figured in the minds of his fellow
citizens. His mind, q veritable hui
man dynamo, conceived the idea of
uniting all the great railroads of
America into one gigantic system, and
he seemed to be in a fair way to carry
out his idea when illness cried halt
to him. Mr.. Harriman's intense Amer
canism and belief in the future of
the United States have frequently
been cited by his friends. He himself
asserted that the immense fortune
that came to him as a byproduct of
his plans was not in any sense the
goal of his ambition, but merely an
indirect result of his successful plans
for developing the railroad resources
of his country. The president of the
Southern Pacific, the Union Pacific
and other lines, and the posessor of
many millions, started in life without
the advantages of wealth. His father
was a minister in moderate circum-
stances, who gave his son only a COM
mon school education. At an early
age he entered Wall street as a clerk
After he became a stockbroker on his
own account his finacial genius
brought him rapidly to the top.
