PAINT PROTECTION
 AND ITS ECONOMY.

The preservation of structural ma terials, which may be obtained through the application of paint. constitutes a most vital means of furthering the con servation of our natural resources. It is, moreover, the most economical method of sustaining the appearance and general upkeep of any commu- nifty.
 A structure coated with sheets of ln- dia rubber would not be as well protect ed from decay as q structure coated with a good oil paint. This is due to the fact that d sheet of rubber is not so durable or as waterproof as thin dried film of paint. The latter mate rial when applied dries to continuous elastic film containing finely divided particles of metallic. wear resisting pigments. square foot of such a film upon q wooden surface costs less than a penny, yet ii will beautify anu protect dollars worth of surface for many years. This is q low rate Of in surance.
 Dwellings, barns, outbuildings. sheds. posts. fences. stock enclosures, wagons. implements, windmills and other struc- lures, whether of wood. iron OF cement, should be preserved, through the use of paint, from rapid decay. High grade paint may be used successfully for all such purposes. ColOred paints will be found the most seviceable, the coloring matter in the paint adding from tive to three years to the life of the coating.

FOR INSURANCE
Mrs. Arthur H. Marsh, Widow

$4,000.

Her husband overtaken by Ger

trict court against the Aetna Life
Insurance company, for $1,000, the
amount of an accident policy held
by Rev. Mr.. Marsh at the time of
his death.
Rev. Arthur H. Marsh was pas

"The reason advanced by the

when a man went overseas. But
there is no such provision in the pol
icy"
David Fitch, attorney for the

death of man in battle. Is such a
death an accidental death. Under
the circumstances l should think
it would be considered a natural
death, if a man in the army were
shot by the enemy or overcome by
the enemy's gas. ....
"On the other hand if a soldier
is shot accidentally by one of his
comrades his death would be acct
dental"
Rev. Mr.. Marsh's policy was TAX

$4,000 A provision made the face
Of the policy increase 10 per cent
each year until it had attained 50
