the Associated General Contractors of

This organization is made up OF
practically all the large contracting

1t is understood that the move to
locate the headquarters Of the asso-
citation in Washington is for the pur-
the activities Of congressional 1egisla-

at the contemplation Of the effect
which would be had upon the many
beautiful public buildings and mon

shrubs, flowers and grass which now
grow so luxuriantIy in Washington
would be greatly injured by the
smoke and dust from the manufac-

cleanest city in the country. and
would become smoke-besmirched,l like

II am in full sympathy with tho

still being made and which will
doubtless be made in the future, to

Housecleaning

I'd like to be an Eskimo and
in all igloo dwell. and eat fried
ice and scrambled snow. and go
outdoors and yell. The humble
Eskimo is glad. we see him
dance and sing; his womentolk
don't drive him mad by cleaning
house each spring. He isn't
driven out OF doors to hunt for
frozen grub. the while the wom-
en- scrub the floors-therc are
no floors to Scrub. He is not
chased. to beat the band, from
out the divers rooms, by DANES
with brooms and mops in hand
there are no mops or brooms.
Year after year he sits in peace,
or lies upon his back, clothed in
his wholesome film of grease,
land no one cleans the shack.
His treasured goods are not mis-
laid. as mine are. every year ;
and he can find his blubber spade,
his corkscrew and his spear.
And il he spills a cataract of
ashes on the floor. no woman
reads the riot act, no female
heart is sore. I'll go to join the
Eskimo when next vessel
starts. Nor | am tired Of all the
woe that cleaning house i'm
parts. I'm tired of sitting on
the stairs, oppressed by fantods
three, because the touches and
the chairs are hung upon a tree.

Zee-Zee Rubber Company. long and firmly established manufactur- CTS of highest grade tires and tubes. guaranteed 6o0o miles, is opening one of its many chain stores in New Britain. The entire production Of our mills at Yardville, N. J., is sold only through these stores, direct to tire users. minus the Jobber's profit. Wherever one of these stores is opened the tire business of the com- munity is practically monopolized. All store and advertising expenses arc paid by the corporation. The manager will receive a salary of $40 a week and commission on all sales, which should return an in come of $5.o00 a year and upward. The man we will select as manager for our New Britain store must be a successful salesman, but tire ex- . perIence is absolutely unnecessary.

It is that 50 many products that are ex-

reason is plain-the article did not fulfil
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to q medicine:
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as hike
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need Of it.
A prominent druggist says Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for IN
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large

According to sworn statements and
verified testimony Of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success OF Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the TACT,
SO many people claim, that it fultlls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects url-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric

PERFECTION OF MODERN ART
Small Wonder Young Lady Artist Elk
ulted as She Gazed on Her
Completed Painting.

The young lady looked before her
with entraEced gaze. She looked low
ingly on the purple sun as it rose in
the West.
Her eyes fingered approximately on
the bright green sky, with splotches of
red and orange stretched across it's
spacious breadth.
Clasping her hands with Joy, she
gazed at the flimsy. odd-looking clouds
of yellow, splashed across the heavens.
Several fishes were flying in the sky,
while birds could be seen in the waters
below, swimming and drinking.
Then her eyes turned toward where
4 few ocean liners sped across the
horizon, with sails unfurled; fisher
mans castle, with the lowly fisher out
side cleaning some fish, seated on a
one-legged stool in a patch of red
grass.
Wonderful ~ cried the young lady.
This is really the prettiest picture
have ever painted. London An
