OPEN DEALING IN PAINT.
Buying paint used to be like the
proverbial buying of a "pig In n
poke." Mixture In which chalk,
ground rock, etc., predominated were
marked and gold as "Pure White
I.ead," the deception not being ai
parent until the paint and the paint
ing were paid for. This deception Ik
till practiced, but we have learned
to expose It easily.
National Lead Company, tho larg
est makers of genuine Pure Whin
Lead, realizing the Injustice that wsj
being done to both property owner
and honcat paint manufacturers set
about to make paint buying safe
They first adopted a trade mark, the
now famous "Dutch-Boy Painter,"
and put this trade mark, as a guar
anty of purity, on every package ol
their White Lead. They then set
about familiarizing the public with
the glow-pipe teBt by wblch the puri
ty and genuineness of White Loail
may bo determined, and furnished o
blow-plpo free to every one who
would write them for It. This ac
tion was In Itself a guaranty of th'
purity of National Lead Company's
White Lead. '
Aa the result of this open dealing
the paint buyer to-day has only him
self to blame If ho Is defrauded. For

Sand Fish.
At low tide, In midsummer, on
- certain parts of the Breton coast,
men and boya with baskets and hoes
descend the white beach to the sea's
edge. They are anglers, but the fish
they seek live on dry land.
With his hoe each fisherman makes
awlftly In the packed sand shallow
parallel trenches very close together
and about a yard long. If the luck
be good, every scratch of the hoe
uncovers three or four silvery fish,
the size of sardnles, that leap up
glittering Into the air. They must bo
seized quickly, or at once they bury
themselves in the sand again.
They are called lancons. Tho
smaller ones are used for mackerel
bait; the larger make, fried, an ex
cellent dish, a good deal like fried
smelts.
With daylight tides the lancons
are seldom bigger than a man's mid
dle finger; but with the night tides,
when promenaders have not disturb
ed the sand, they run largo Indeed.
Then, tbelr lanterns flashing on the
beach, the' Breton fishermen often
capture lancons a foot long. Phila

gan to bo noticeable in the prison.
After a time the prisoners began to
complain, but danger was not
thought of, as at times the odors
disappeared. Since tho development
of typhoid Investigation has been
made and it wag loarned that the
odorg were due to the wind getting
Into the opening In the sewer anil
blowing the poisonous gases back in
to the prison.
Judge Scott visited the site of the
now building operations and ordered
that the opening in the sewer be
closed Immediately. There has never
been a case of typhoid before In

Nature and a woman's work com
bined have produced the grandMt
reme'iy for iroitutn'a LUa that the
world litis ever known.
In the good old-fa.slii.ined days of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herhs of the field to
eure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herhs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that baffle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years tn
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their pe
culiar ills, more potent and effica
cious than any combination of drugs.
Lydia E. Pinkbam's Vegetable
ConiiH'iind is now recognized ;is the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 616 N.C. St.,
Louisiana, Mo., writes:
" Complete restoration to health
mcuns so much to mc that for the sake
of other sutTerinir women I am willing
to make my troubles public.
" tot twelve years I bud been suffer
ing with the worst forms of femnlc ills.
During that time I had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what I suffered, und at times I
could hardly walk. About two years
ago I wrote Mrs. Pinkhum for advice.
I followed it, and can truly fcay that
Lydia B, Pinkham'g Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. l'inkham's advice re
stored health and strength. It is
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women."
What Lydia E. Pinkham'a Vego
table Con' pound did for Mrs. Muff,
It will do for other suffering women.
The reason a woman is afraid of
thunder is she knowa it won't hurt
her.
