HOW TO KNOW PURE PAINT.
A Way In Which It May Be Identified
Before Using.
' After a building has been painted
long enough for a weather test, it Is
easy to tell If the paint used was made
pf pure White Lead or not. But such
Related knowledge conies like locking
the barn after the colt Is stolen.
. What one wants is a test that will
tell the quality of the paint before it
and the labor of putting it on are
paid for.
Nature has provided a way In which
genuine White Lead may he positive
ly distinguished from adulterated or
fake White Lead before you spend a
cent on your painting.
Pure White Lead is made from me
tallic lead, and, under intense heat,
vuch as is produced by a blow-pipe,
pure White Lead will resolveitself back
Into metallic lead. If, however, it is
not genuine White Lead, or if it con
tains the slightest trace of adultera
tion, the change will not take place.
Therefore the "blow-pipe" test is an
absolute and final one.
The National Lead Company are
urging everyone interested in painting
to make this test of paint before using
it, and they guarantee that the pure
White Lead sold under their "Dutch
Boy Painter" trade-mark will always
prove absolutely pure under the "blow
pipe" or any other test. To make It
easy for you to perform the experi
ment they will send you free upon re
quest a blow-pipe and everything nec
essary for you to make the test, to
gether with , a valuable booklet on
paint. Address, National Lead Com

EYESIGHT WAS IN DANGER
Prom Terrible Eczema Baby' Head
a Mate of Itching Rash and Sores
Disease Cured by Cutlcura.
"Our little girl was two months old
when she got a rash on her face and
within five days her face and head
were all one sore. We used different
remedies but it got worse instead of
better and we thought she would turn
blind and that her ears would fall off.
She suffered terribly, and would
cratch until the blood came. This
went on until she was five months old,
then I had her under our family doc
tor's care, but she continued to grow
worse. He said it was eczema. When
she was seven months old I started
to use the Cuticura Remedies and in
two months our baby was a different
girl. You could not see a Sign of a
sore and she was as fair as a new
horn baby. She has not had a sign of
the eczema since. Mrs. H. F. Budke,
LeSueur, Minn., Apr. 15 and May 2, '07."
His Choice.
A country clergyman on his round
of visits interviewed a youngster as
to his acquaintance with Bible sto
. rles.
"My lad," he said, "you have, of
course, heard of the parables?"
"Yes, sir," shyly answered the boy,
whose mother had inducted him in
.acred history. "Yes, sir."
"Good!" said the clergyman. "Now
which of them do you like the best
of all?"
The boy squirmed, but at last,
heeding his mother's frowns, he re
plied. "I guess I like that one where
omebody loafs and fishes."

FOR AMERICA ALONE
PATRIOT'S AEROPLANE WILL NOT
AID FOREIGNERS.
James F. Scott, Who Has Captured
Contract from Government, Be
lieves Air Craft Will Revolu
tionize Warfare.
- Chicago. James F. Scott, to whom
the government has awarded a $10,000
contract for an aeroplane, says that
within five years the development of
flying apparatus will have gone so far
that aeroplane ships, carrying crews
of 20 to 30 men, will be making reg
ular flights of 2,000 miles at a clip.
He looks for progress to be made sim
ilar to that with the automobile.
which has reached the present state
of perfection within a decade.
Mr. Scott is a scenic artist 45 years
old. He has made at least a dozen
working models, and the apparatus to
be built for the war department is to
consist of two main perfectly hori
zontal planes, with several smaller in
termediary planes, the whole weighing
1,500 pounds.
Mr. Scott is intensely interested in
the subject of aerial navigation, has
decided ideas as to how a pa
triotic American's knowledge and
studies and investigations in any
line of scientific endeavor should be
used freely and unreservedly for the
use of his government and for the
advantage of no other and is firmly
convinced that the need for all naval
strength will be entirely done away
with when aerial navigation, by aero
planes, shall have been perfected. The
possibility of building a fleet of air
craft which can destroy the mightiest
leviathan of the sea by dropping explo
sives he regards as sure in time not
only to revolutionize all warfare, but
absolutely to do away with it.
"The reason I wrote the government
authorities that my invention would
be at their service for $10,000, unre
servedly," said Mr. Scott, In an in
terview, "is that I believe all patriotic
Americans should devote their efforts
to the welfare of their government,
provided their lines of endeavor lie
along lines like mine, and that a
prohibitive price should not be put
upon their work. I have the greatest
faith in the idea that the United
States is the country which is des
tined to reach the greatest heights in
civilization, holding up the beacon
for other peoples, and I believe every
true American patriot should further
this advance with all the earnestness
that in him lies."
To emphasize his patriotic motives
Mr. Scott said in the course of the in
terview: "If the representative of any
foreign "power England, France, Ger
many or other nation came to me
and told me that 1,000,000 lay in
a bank subject to my check, provided I
would turn over to them even the dia
grams of my aeroplane, I would refuse
such offer. No amount of money could
persuade me to sell my invention to a
foreign power."
"I ask for no aggrandizement, nor
the plaudits of the multitudes," says
this sane inventor. "I hope to earn
a fellowship in the ranks of those
whose only aim is to do good. 'By
their works ye shall know them. I
do not even ask to be given credit
for "good Intentions.
"Although many people who have
not studied the matter may scoff, I
venture to predict that withn five
years there will be constructed aero
plane ships to carry crews of 20 to 30
men, having engines of from 600 to
1,000-horse power and capable of flight
of 2,000 miles at a clip.
"The ship which I am building ac
cording to the specifications furnished
the government will stay in the air
one hour, will make Its ascents and
descents without danger, and will
carry two men. My experiments
have proved to me that the planes
above and below must be perfectly flat
and there will be no curves or con
cavity in them. During the hour that
it remains in the air my ship ' will
maintain its equilibrium, be under per
fect control and move in all direc
tions, as required by the specifications
required by the signal corps.
"As compared with the aeroplanes
of the near future the craft so far
made are as dugouts to the most mod
ern ocean liner. I have the greatest
respect and consideration for all the
efforts that have been made by M.
Henry Farman, the Wright brothers.
Israel Ludlow, Santos-Dumont, Her
ring, Prof. Langley, Lilienthal, Octave
Chanute and all the others. I have
studied their craft and have read, I
think, nearly all that has been written
about them."
CLIMATE IS IDEAL
GREAT WEALTH ACQUIRED IN
GROWING GRAIN.
Writing from Saskatoon, Saskatche
wan, Canada, W. H. Ellwanger, who
was formerly a resident of Green
Mountain, Iowa, says: "The climate
in summer is ideal for growing grain.
Long, clear days of sunshine, no bad
storms. We never need to guard
against cyclones; I never saw a better
climate in my life. We made more
money during the season of 1906 than
any previous five years in central
Iowa one of the best districts ia the
state." But Mr. Ellwanger was a resi
dent of the town, and it might be more
interesting to read what a farmer has
to say about Western Canada. From
hundreds of letters all filled with
words of praise, recounting success in
Western Canada there has been one
selected. It is as follows:
Paynton, Sask., Canada,
Dec. 10th, 1907.
To Whom This May Concern:
I moved to this address February 3,
1907, from Montgomery, Iowa, and
took a homestead 35 miles north of
Paynton. It was cold when I moved
here but it did not stay cold long; it
broke up the 8th of February, and was
not so cold after that but the spring
was late on account of the heavy snow
fall, but in spite of the late spring I
saw better grain than I ever saw in
the states, raised this year. I helped
a man finish sowing oats the 4th of
July and they made fair oats. In a
good year oats will go 100 bushels to
the acre and wheat 25 to 50; all root
crops do well here. I saw turnips weigh
7 and 8 pounds. I raised potatoes this
year that measured 11 inches
one way and 18 the other in cir
cumference. This is a fine stock coun
try; hay in abundance, good water,
plenty of fuel, free and plenty of
building material the government
gives us timber to saw into lumber
and we can get it sawed for about
$6.00 per thousand. All small fruit
grows wild here, then there are ducks,
geese, grouse, pheasants, deer, moose,
elk and fish in abundance. I was over
to Turtle Lake yesterday where there
is lots of fishing being done this win
ter. I saw about a carload of white
fish in one pile. I gave 25 cents for
86 pounds of fish. What do you think
of that, Brother Yankee? I think this
is a fine place both to make money
and to live. There was an old man up
here visiting his brother-in-law. Now
this man owns land close to Des
Moines, Iowa, and is in good circum
stances, but he took a homestead and
says he will be contented if he can
only put in the rest of his days in
Canada. He would get up in the morn
and look out of the door and say:
"Well, who wouldn't live In Canada?"
Now I have been in 13 different states
in the United States, and I never saw
the chance that there is here for a
man that has a little muscle and a
little brains. Three cheers for Cana
da! (Signed.)
W. A. SPICE."

This is really Rheumatism of the
Muscles of the Loins and is character
ized by a severe, at times, agonizing
pain in the small of the back, allow
ing the sufferer scarcely a moment's
rest, while the ailment is at its worst.
It can come from cold, exposure to
draft, from getting wet feet or wear
ing wet or damp clothing. It causes
acute suffering, and if .allowed to be
come chronic it may permanently dis
able the sufferer. The way to secure
quickest relief is to redden the skin
over the painful part by rubbing with
a flesh brush or piece of flannel rag,
and Jtben apply ST. JACOBS OIL by
gentle friction with the hand.

One of the consuls to Persia, during
a recent visit home, said at a dinner in
Chicago:
'"The present shah will never be the
equal of his predecessor. What a char
acter the late shah was. He never
opened his mouth without saying
something worth repeating.
"Lady Drummond Wolfe once got
permission to visit the shah's harem.
She took a friend with her, a Miss
Blank, who was about to be married.
The two English women wandered
over the splendid palace, among the
hundreds of beautiful girls, and pres
ently the shah encountered them.
" 'Come here,' he said to Miss Blank,
in his crude French.
"She approached. He looked closely
at her.
'"You are about to be married?' he
said.
" 'Yes, your highness.'
"'It's late!'
