Iu the days when repainting meant a geueral turning of Jungs upside down, a two-weeks' "cluttering up" of the place with kegs, cans 'and pails, a lot of inflammable and ill-smelling materials standing around, etc.. the droad of painting time was natural. So was the dread of soap-making time, of shirtmaking time, of candle-moulding time and the like. But we live in an ase , when soap conies from the storp better and cheaper than we can make it, IU when shirts are sold ready made for "Jess than we can buy the materials. / when we can burn coal oil or gas cheaper than we cau make tallow-fandies, and when all we have to do when we want to repaint is to pick out our colors from the card at the store and -"pay the painter for putting on the paint. When ii comes to picking out the paint it is not necessary that oue should be a paint chemist any more j than one should be an oil chemist wheu buying kerosene, or a department store buyer when selecting shirts, or a sonp chemist wheu buying soap. All that 1 1 Is necessary to insure a fair show is some knowledge of the character of ? our paint dealer and the reputation and standing of the maker of the paint offered. Nor must one ?xpect to buy a pure iinseed oil paint for the price of liuseed oil alone. It cau be taken for granted when any oue offers to sen dollar Dins at a discount;. ne is mining n liook for "suckers." So it can be :nken for granted when any one? ' whether mail order house, pa kit manufacturer or dealer?offers paint too cheap, he is bidding for the trade of "suckers," no matter what his promises. But paints sold in responsible stores tinder the brands of reputable manufacturers are all good products, differring from one another in the less important matter of the solid pigments contained. but practically alike in having their liquid portions composed essentially of pure linseed oi;. The competition of the better class of paints has driven inferior goods practically out of the market, and no manufacturer of standing now puts out a poor paint, under his own name at least. As to guarantees on paint, they can be taken for what they are worth. .Any reputable manufacturer will make good any defect actually traceable to | the paint itself and not co improper j use or treatment of it. The really im- I portant guarantee which the paint i buyer should exact from liis dealer is i that the paint is made by u inanu- j facturer that knows his business and I ttia'c tne paint ltseir nas a recoru. n he secures this guarnntee he can afford to chance the rest of it?the paint will undoubtedly give good service if properly applied according to direc- ' tlous.

PHEirS IS* 0? BEEF SEPOBI. Says Revolting Conditions Exist' in Chicago Plants. I i CONGRESS ASKED TO ACT j Facking Houses Not Kept Reasonably Clean Minute Inspection Needsd --- Product Should Be j Supervised From "Hoof to Can" Washington, D. C.?The President sent to Congress the report of Messrs. Reynolds and Neill on conditions in 1 the Chicago Stock Yards, accompanied ' by a message recommending immediate . legislation to provide a drastic inspection of the yards and packing houses by the Federal Government. The j iTOsiuem s message is as iuuu?s. I "The Senate and House of Representa- 1 tives: "I transmit herewith the report of j Mr. James Branson Reynolds and Com- ] missioner Charles I\ Neill, the special < committee whom I appointed to investigate into the conditions of the stock yards of Chicago and report thereon to me- This report is of a preliminary na- < turc. "I submit it to you now because it shows the urgent need of immediate action by the Congress in the direction l of providing a drastic and thorough- ( going inspection by the Federal Gov- ( eminent of aH stock yards and packing houses and of their products so far *j as the latter enter into interstate or j foreicn commerce. i "The conditions shown by even this short inspection to exist in the Chicago t Stock Yards are revolting, it is imperatively necessary in the interest of health and of decency that they should be radically changed. Under the existing law it is wholly impossible to secure satisfactory results. "When my attention was first directed to this matter an investigation was made under the Bureau of Animal Industry of the Department of Agriculture. When the preliminary statements of this investigation were brought to my attention they showed such defects in the law and such wholly unexpected conditions that I deemed it best to have a further immediate investigation by men not connected with the bureau, and accordingly appointed Messrs. Reynolds and Neill. . "It was impossible under the existing law that satisfactory work should be done by the Bureau of Animal Industry. I am now. however, examining the way in which the work actually was done. "Before I had received the report of r? 1 /IVnill T hnrl Hi. iVLtrdfiid. 1VL\) liUlWO UiiVl HCIH A liuu V** I rooted that labels placed upon any $ package of moat food products should jstate only that the carcass of the ani- a mal from which the meat was taken had been inspected at the time of v slaughter. n . "If inspection of moat food products s at all stacres of preparation is not so- j cured by the passage of the legislation d recommended I shall be compelled to u order that inspection labels and certifi- b cates 011 canned products shall not be j used hereafter. b "The report shows that the stock a yards and packing houses are not kept o even reasonably clean, and that the s method of handling and preparing food } products is uncleanly and dangerous to o health. Under existing law the Xa- p tional Government has no power to en- r force inspection of the many forms of j prepared meat food products that are \ daily going from the packing houses p into interstate commerce. Owing to an inadequate appropriation the De- t partment of Agriculture is not even y able to place inspectors in all estab- a lishments desiring them. d "The present law prohibits the shipment of uninspected meat to foreign q countries, but there is no provision for- e bidding the shipment of uninspected e meats in interstate commerce, and thus s tlin nvoniM nf intprstnta commerce are c left open to traffic in diseased or spoiled meats. If. as has been alleged on seemingly good authority, further evils exist, such as the improper use of chemicals and dyes, the Government (lacks power to remedy them. "A law is needed which will enable the inspectors of the general Govern- j ment to inspect and supervise from the c hoof to the cap the preparation of the r meat product. The evil seems to be t] mtfch less in the sale of dressed car- $ ensses than in the sale of canned and ? other prepared products: and very s much less as regards products sent j, abroad than as regards those used at s home. t "In my judgment the expense of the p inspection should be paid by a fee t levied on each animal slaughtered. If i this is not done the whole purpose of 0 the law can at any time be defeated c through an insufficient appropriation, and whenever there was no particular t public interest in the subject it would j be not only ojjisy but natural thus to t make the appropriation insufficient, s If it were not for this consideration I a siiouiu iavur uie vruverijcifjii j for the inspection. I 'The alarm expressed in certain r quarters concerning this feature should e he allayed by a realization of the fact i that in no case, under such a law, will 1 the cost of inspection exceed eight i cents per head. i "I call special attention to the fact I that this report is preliminary and that c the investigation is still unfinished.

MADRID ASSASSIN A SUICIDE I Anarchist Morales Kills Himsell After Slaying a Policeman. , Bomb Thrower's Body Identified and Indignantly Denied BuriaI--\A"as Trying to Escape in Disguise. ! ( I Madrid. Spain.?It is announced orti- I < cia'.ly that the body of Manuel Morales, j whose capture aud suicide occurred at ; Torrejon de Ardos. has been fully iden- j titied as that of the anarcfflst who threw the bomb at King Alfonso and Queen Victoria, and that the reward of ? 25,000 pesetas ($4500) offered for the 1 arrest of the perpetrator of the out- j 1 rage will be given to the widow of , 1 Suarez Valdez, the policeman who was i , killed in arresting Morales. ( Burial has been indignantly deuied the body of the anrachist. His father has repudiated kinship with the object 5 of so much detestation, and public < wrath has sought in every way to heap , contumely upon the bod}-, which was exposed in the crypt of the church of Buen Suceso. 1 At Jadraqua, a village near Torrejon 1 de Ardos, an arrest has been made, ' that of a youth, who before the bomb 1 outrage called for two mules to go to ! Madrid. He is charged with having 1 been an accomplice of Morales. It has been learned that the bomb 1 was made of the iron of a small safe, such as may readily be rented in Ma- ( drid for $3 to $4 a month. It was 1 tilled with pieces of steel and explos* 1 ives. 1 41,n irlnn+ifi- I llh'11 y uv/Kuio VJ. iuv iuvMv<M i cation of Morales as the bomb thrower | 1 in the testimony of Senor Cuesta, pro- < prietor of the hotel from the balcony of which the deadly missile was < thrown. He viewed the body and pro- 1 nonnced it unquestionably that of his I recent patron. ' It has been ascertained that on Hay ; 20 Morales attended the republican fes- i tivities at Barcelona, and the same day i left for Madrid in the train de luxe in i the company of several we'll known i peopk with whom lie discussed poli- i tics. lie represented himself as the 1 owner of a factory at Barcelona. When Morales at S o'clock Saturday < night entered the station at Torrejon | i he was disguised as a workingman, j s wearing a blue suit and white canvas l shoes. He asked a girl in charge of ] the office at what time the night train j ; left for Barcelona. She said it was | : late at night. At a workman's inn i Morales cailed for fish, wine and bread, < but ate little. Policeman Suarez Valdes, who had read the descriptions of the man seen i on the balcouy, noticed Morales' re- i semblance to it and suspected that he j : was Jinthor of the bomb outrages. I i When he ordered him to lialt Morales I 1 attempted flight, but there were other i policemen in the 'bus, who followed i the murderer. When Morales saw the ] hopelessness of his flight, he turned I his weapon upon himself and sent a 1 bullet into his bead. 1 An examination of the pockets of i the dead man showed that they con- < tained $30 in money and a small supply 1 of bread and cheese, but there was i nothing in them that would give a j clew as to his identity. This fact I : created a doubt that the man was ! Morales, but when the Governor of i Madrid arrived with Senor Cuesta, identification was immediate and posi- ] tive. The body was then brought to j Madrid. At first there was a desire j to bury it at Torrejon de Ardos, but j when this was suggested tin/ villagers j indignantly refused to permit the body to repose in their town. . Villagers of Torrejon de Ardos give ] a graphic description of the capture i and death of Morales. They say he appeared to be greatly fatigued and fell asleep on a bench in the station, j On euteriug the inn he called for . dinner, but scarcely tasted a morsel. | ] The proprietress of the inn discussed j with him the prevailing topic of the ( throwing of the b9mb at Madrid, declaring it was a heinous crime. At this I the stranger shifted nervously, saying, j . "Every one has his own ideas, whicn should be respected." Soon after that he tried to leave the town. 1 The body of Morales was exposed in the afternoon for the purpose of allaying public indignation. Thousands of persons surged before the municipal morgue seeking to get in line to be iidmitted to the room where the body , lay, but cavalry and infantry blocked the efforts of the throng, which murmured imprecations against the assassin. Public feeling was intense, | < chiefly because of the groat number of ! j victims. HELI7LESS AFTER OPERATION, j Paralysis Quickly Follows After Clerk I Has grossed Eyes Straightened. Albuquerque, N.

He also had ten shares 11 ine vaney com vuiupuu^ uuu um.-cu n the Edri Coal Company, which were presented to liim by Captain Alfred Hicks. Ten fc'.iares of Preston Coal Company stock we>.- sent to him in in envelope. He was not certain who sent it, but thouglu it might have come from Joseph Aiken, a railroad man. or H. A. Kubn, an operator. All of these stocks paid dividends. Mr. Boyer said ilso that he holds an interest amounting to ?8000 in undeveloped coal lands 311 the West Penn division. He paid for this stock. Mr. Boyer's stock holdings were only i small portion of the gifts he admitted receiving from coal mining companies. In his capacity as purchaser of fuel coal he testified that he had received from five companies an allowance of from three to five cents a ton on coal used by the railroad for fuel purposes. From the latter*part of 1003 to date he had received a total of more than $40,000. The money had been Grst sent to liim in cash, but later cashiers' checks had been sent to Cashier Hastings of the Second National Bank of Altoona and'placed on deposit for Boyer. He was asked why he discriminated In favor of Blythe & Co. He replied j that lie did not discriminate, a's the money came to him without solicitation or any effort on his part. He believed that the money had been paid in the same manner to his predecessors in office, and believed that he was only following the custom of the department. The companies which made him tne | allowance were the Graff Coal Company, the Clearfield and Granton Coal i Company, the Dunkirk Coal Company, Boyer, Smith & Turner and Thomas BIythe & Co. The Graff Coal Company allowed him five cents a ton and the Clearfield and Granton Company gave him a share in the profits which amounted to not less than four cents a ton. . BIythe & Co. gave him three cents a ton. , "What did you do with the money?" asked Attorney Glasgow. "I kept it all." "Did you not share it with others in the employ of the railroad?" "No, sir; I kept it all." "How do you account for getting it?" "I imagine somebody had been getting it before me." Roughly estimated the money recehed by Mr. Boyer from the companies mentioned wns as follows: Graff Coal Company, 915.000: Clearfield and Granton Co.. .50000: Dunkirk Company. $18.">0; Smith & Turner, $18,320; Thomas BIythe, $2000. v SLAIN* TO SEAL HER LirS.

A company headed by a Seattle capitalist has purchased the grounds and buildings for N $545,000, paying approximately $525,000 for the grounds and $20,000 for the buildings, not including the forestry building, which belongs to the city. The buildings alone cost $407,000 less than a year ago. The company's plans are to establish factories which will be housed in the exhibit buildings. It is said that two woolen mills have already spoken for space, and that a big water pipe manufacturing firm Is negotiating for the transportation building. The exposition site, lying at the very edge of the city, with an area of some seventy acres convenient to transportation, both rail and water, is remarkably well adapted for manufacturing purposes, and the buildings, in the construction of which the very best timber w: * used, will with slight alterations stund the wear and tear of years of active use.

An old soldier, released from coffee ^ at 72, recovered his health and tells about it as follows: "I stuck to coffee for years, although it knifed me again and again. "About eight years ago (as a result of coffee drinking which congested my liver), 1 was taken with a very severe attack of malarial fever. "I would apparently recover uim start about my usual work only to suffer a relapse. After this had been repeated several times during the year I was again taken violently ill. "The doctor said he had carefully studied my case and it was either 'quit coffee or die.' advising me to take Fostum in its place. I had always thought coffee one of my dearest friends, and especially when sick, and I was very much taken back by the doctor's decision for I hadn't suspected the coffee I drank could possibly cause uiy troubles. "I thought it over for a few minutes and finally told the doctor I would make the change. Postum was pro- B cureil for me the same day and. made I according to directions: well, I liked it 1 and stuck to it and since then I have J been a new man. The change in health | began in a few days and surprised me. I and now, although I am seventy-two years of ago, I do iots of hard .work and for the past month have ""been teaming, driving sixteen miles a day. besides loading and unloading the wagon. That's what Fostuni in the place of coffee has done for me. I now like the Postum as well as I did coffee. "I have known people who did not care for Postum at first, but after having learned to make it properly according to directions, they have come to like it as well as coffee. I never miss a chance to praise it." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Look for the little book, "The Road to Wellville," in pkga. ; -
