To preserve your house — your propert>-your dollars, you might say—you ji

oftener. Start right by getting

and you can make up your mind it’s on to stay. The reason for this is plain. Horse
Shoe Paint is wholly composed of the strongest and best materials known in the
science of paint making — it contains no cheapening or adulterating materials what
ever. It’s made of strictly Pure Zinc end White Lead for pigments. Add to this
Pure Linseed Oil—crushed by the manufr turers themselves to insure its purity — then B
the necessary drier and coloring matter end you've got the best paint that money, B ;
I® brains and material can produce. d
Horse Shoe Paint has stood the test for 20 long years—it’s a proven paint— and \
is sold in almost every tow’n and city in the United States. Should not that fact t
alone convince you that Horse Shoe Paint gives satisfaction bey d question ?
Hors® Shoe Paint does all we claim—we guarantee it to be pure and to wear. I
Ho~s® Shoe Point is absolutely pure; you buy it subject to chemical analysis and £
it’s paint that lasts.

Test for Hydrochloric Acid.
A curious mishap has given us a
'ery delicate test for hydrochloric acid
n the atmosphere. In a North of Eng
and locality many houses have cur
ains of the cream color produced by
netanil yellow—popularly known as
dolly” cream dye and to science as
'the sodium salt of meta-ami do-ben
ine sulphonic acld-azo-diphenyl
imine.” Some of these cream-colored
■urtains suddenly changed to helio
rope. Investigation showed that an
tccidental escape of hydrochloric acid
rom a neighboring alkali plant had
iiscolored the curtains aifd the dye
became a most useful test.

ROULETTE PLAYED W!TH SPOC!
Newsboys' Game Which Has Sms
Chances for the Plungers.
Perhaps it isn't an entirely nev
game, but it was the first .time that
the wayfarer had seen it, says th
New York Sun.
A group of newsboys were gathered
about another boy who had an im
provised top made of a spool pierced
by a sharpened skewer. The spool
was so cut that It presented four
square sides, each marked with a let
ter The letters were P. T. N. and A
The boy with the top spun it, while
the others made wagers, mostly in
cents. When the top came to rest It
naturally fell on one of the square
sides.
“What does it mean?" asked the
wayfarer.
“Well,” sutid one of the boys, "ac
cording to the way the top falls you
can make or lose the money you put
up. If ii drops on P then you put in
a sum equal to what vcu bet for the
fellow who runs the wheel. If it falls
on T then you can take hack the
stake you put up.
“If It comes on N that means none.
You lose just what you put up. If
it comes to A then the banker has to
pay all the men who are playing."
The spool roulette wheel did a fine
business for the banker while the on
looker was there.
