OPEN~DE?L!NS IN PAINT. _ Buying paint used to be like the. .proverbial buying of a ."pig In a poke." Mixtures in which ' chalk, ground rock, etc., predominated were marked and sold as "Pure White Lead." the deception not being, ap parent until the paint and the paint ing were-paid for. This deception is still practiced, but we have learned to expose it easily. National Lead Company, the larg est makers of genuine Pure White Lead, realizing the injustice that was being done to both property owners and honest paint manufacturers set about to make paint buying *>afe.. 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 of their White Lead. They then .set about familiarizing the public with the glow-pipe test by which the puri ty and genuineness of White Lead may be determined, and furnished a blow-pipe free to every one who would write them for lt. This ac^ tion was in Itself a guaranty of the purity of National Lead Company's White Lead. As the result of this open dealing the paint buyer to-day has only%him self to blame if he is defrauded.

FRIENDLY TIP Restored Hope and Confidence. After several years of indigestion and its attendant evil influence on the mind, it is not very surprising that one finally loses; faith in things gen erally. A N.

For over two years I suffered from ner vousness, weak heart, shortness of breath, could not sleep, etc. "My appetite was ravenous but 1 felt starved all the time. I had plenty of food but it did not nourisu me- because of intestinal indigestion. Medical treatment did not seem to help, I got discouraged, stopped medi cine and did noi care much whether I lived or died. "One day a friend asked me why 1 didn't try Grape-Nuts, stop drinking coffee and use Postum. 1 had lost faith in everything, tut to please my friends I began to use both and soon became very fond of them. "lt wasn't long before I got some strength, felt a decided^change irrmy system, hope sprang up In my heart and slowly but surely 1 got better.

Republican Nominee Tor Vice president Accepts HE STANDS ON THE PLATFORM Great Enthusiasm Marks the Occa sion of tile Official Notification of Choice of J.'.mes S, Sherman as S Eejublican Vice Presidential Can didate. . Utica, N. Y., Special.-Utica broke all bounds in the enthusiasm of its celebration in honor of Representa tive James S. Sherman, the occasion marking the offiial notification of his .nomination for the vice presidency. Not in many years has there been such an ^outburst of enthusiasm in paying tribute to 'a distinguished citizen of the city. Republicans and Democrats alike joined in the celebra tion. At the formal notification ceremo nies, Senator Burrows made the ad dress in behalf of the committee, and Mr. Sherman spoke in response. Sec retary Root and other prominent men also delivered brief addresses. Sheman's Speech. Senator Burrows and Gentlemen of the Notification Committee: Your chairman, speaking for the committee, has notified me of my nomination by the Republican nation al convention held in Chicago in Jun*? as the party's candidate for Vice President. As I chanced to be in Chicago in June I had an inkling of the convention's action, which was confirmed bv a warm hearted recep tion tendered me by my neighbors on the occasion of my home coming on July 2. ' This oflBcial notification, how ever, is welcome and the nomination you tender me is accepted; accepted with- the gratitude commensurate with the great honor conferred ; '. ac cepted with a full appreciation of the obligations which accompany that I mor, an ? honor greater because my name is linked with that of Wil liam H. Taft, whom I respect and esteem highly and wlio approaches the high office of 7'resident exception ally well equipped to discharge tho duties and bear the ' varied and weighty responsibilities of that ex alted position. My acceptance could not be made with honor unless I were in full accord with the declara tion of principles adopted", by the convention. Not only am I in full and complete acord with my party's platform, but " I endorse evem state ment made by Mr. Taft in nis ad dress of acceptance when notified of his nomination as the Republican candidate for President. . * . First, then, let me say that I am a pro tectionist. I am sufficiently practical to value the utility of a fact higher than the beauty of a theory, and I am a protectionist because experi ence has demonstrated that the ap plication of that principle has lifted us as ? nation to . a plane of pros perity above that ocupied by any other people. . I especially commend that plank of our platform which " promises an early revision of tariff schedules. That pledge will be fulfilled .hf an adjustment based in every particular . upon the broad principle of protec tion for all American interests; alike for labor, for capital, for producers md consumers. The Dingley bill, when enacted was well adapted to the then existing 'conditions. The de velopments of the industrial pros perity in a decade, which in, volume and degree have surpassed our most roseate expectations, ?r?ve' so altered conditions that in .certain details of schedules they np . longer in every particular mete ouT'^ustice to all. In this readjustment the principles of protection must and will govern; such duties must and will be im posed as will equalize the cost of pro duction at home and abroad and in sure a reasonable profit to all Ameri can interests. . . . The Republican party believes in the equality of all men before the law; believes in granting labor's every request that does not seek to. accord rights to one man denied to another. Fair minded labor ask? \) more, no less, and approves the record of the Republican party be cause of that party's actsv I have helped to make my party's; record in the enactment of the ci<rht hour law, the Employers Liability, act, the statutes to minimize the haz ard of railroad employes, the child labor law for the District of Col umbia, and other enactments designed especially to improve the conditions ci labor. I'cannot hope to better state my position on injunctions than by a specific endorsement of Mr. Taft's Cinicinnati declaration on that subject. That endorsement I make. As a nation our duty compels that by every constitutional ancl reason able means the material and educa tional conditions of ihe colored race be advanced. This we . owe to ourr selves as well as to them. / As the result of a course of events that can never be reversed, they are a part of our civilization; their prosperity is our prosperity; their abscmcnt would be our misfortune. The Re publican party, therefore will ofter every encouragement to the thrift, industry and intelligence that will better their prospect of higer attain ment. I believe in "the maintenance of such an army, the upbuilding of such a navy as will be the guarantee of the protection of American citizens and 1 American interests everywhere, and an omen of peace; that at every ex posed point we may be so fortified that no power on earth may br tempted to molest us. I believe in thc restoration of the American mer chant marine and rendering whatevci financial aid may be necessary tr accomplish this purpose. I approve the movement for th' conservation of our.natural reccnr ces; the fostering of fiicndly foreigv. relations; the enforcement of f.:i civil sen-ice law; and the cnaclnic:i of ?uch statutes as will more seeurH and more effoctivety preservo the public health. Our platform, as it should do, pledges adherence to the'policies of President Roosevelt; promises lo con tinue the work inaugurated during his administration, to insure to persons and property every proper safeguard and all necessary strenthening ot administrative methods will be pro vided to furnish sufficent inspection and supervision" and prompt righting df "every injustice," "discriminaHoll and wrong. . . . "Shall the jieople rule?" ia deolar- i ed by the Democratic platform and candidate to be "the overshadowing issue . . . now uuder discussion." It is no issue. Surely the people shall rule, surely the people have ruled; surely " opie do rule. No partj' rules. The party commissioned bj the people, is simply the instrument to execute the people's will, and from that party which does not obey their expressed will or which lacks the wisdom to lead successfully, the peo ple will withdraw their commission. For half a century, with but two exceptions, the people have commis sioned the Republican party to ad minister the national government; commissioned it because its declared principles appealed to their best judgment; commissioned it because the 'cemmon sense of the American pecple scented danger in thc Demo cratic policies. Ours always has been always must be, a government of the people. That party will, after March 4 next, execute old laws and enact new ones as in November it is commissioned to do. That commis sion will bc fi om all untrammeled American electorate. Shame on the party which, shame on thc candidate who insults the American people by suggestion or declaration that a ma jority of its electorate is venal. Thc American voter, with rare exception, in easting his ballot, is guided by his best judgment, by his desire to conserve his own and the public weal. The overshadowing issue of the campaign really is: shall the adminis tration of President Roosevelt be ap proved ; shall a party of demonstrated capacity in administrative affairs be continued in power; shall the reins of government be placed in experienced hands, or do the people prefer to trust their destines to an aggregation of experimental malcontents and the orists, whose only claim to a histor}' ts a party name they pilfered. With a record of four decades of wise legislation; two score years of faithful administration ; offering its fulfilled pledges as a guaranty of its promises for the future, the Republi can party appeals to the people and, with full confidence in their wisdom and patrotism, awaits thc rendition of the November verdict. CHAPIN NOTIFIED. Chicago, Special.-Cincinnati, Lin coln and pent-up Utica are not the only cities to have the honor of a notification meeting. Chicago was the scene of such a ceremony Tues day and while the enthusiasm, was largyly confined to the Fine Arts Building, where the news was broken to Eugene W.

Prof. Charles Scanlon, permanent chairman of the Columbus conven tion, informed Mr. Chafin of the hon or which had been accorded him. Brief speeches were made bv other members of the notification commit tee. The candidate responded with an address in which he pointed out the great gains in prohibition senti ment throughout the country in the last few years and the future tri umph of the prohibition cause. The campaign programme mapped out by the Prohibition national ex ecutive committee is the most am bitious in years. It is declared that the party will have sufficient funds to carry on an extensive warfare against the liquor element and that manj men of wealth have contributed liberally to the campaign fund. Mr. Chafin will shortly begin an extensive stumping tour. California Town Shaken.

" ; America's Amazing Agricultu ral Advance rHE SOUTH FAR IN THE LEAD "That the South, With 25,000,000 Population, Is Producing as Much Value in Agricultural Out-Turn as the United States With 62,000,000 People Did in 1890, is Qne of the Amazing FactB of Our History. Baltimore, Md.-Reviewing Amen ta's amazing agricultural advance of ate^years, the Manufacturers' Re?ord n a recent issue says : Probably nothing more forcibly Hnstrates this marvelous change than ;he fact that the value of the agri cultural products of the South alone, .vhicii will this year be between $2, !50,000,000 and $2,500,000,000, will )e more than the total for the United States in 1SS0, and about the same is for the entire country as late as L890. In 1890, who could have lared to predict that the value of the South's farm products of 1903 would ;qual the total for the United States nl890? That the South, with 26, 100,000 population, is producing as nuch value in agricultural out turn is the United States with 62,000,000 >eople did in 1890 is one of the imaziug facts of our history. Tn L890 the value of all agricultural products outside of the South was ^1,596,000,000, or at least $000,000, H)0 less than what the South alone viii this year produce. . The increase in the value of farm property of $S,000,000,000 between L900 and 1907 is nearly nine times as rreat as the aggregate national bank ng capital of the United States It s more than one-half as large as the otal capitalization, bonds and stocks ncluded, of all the railroads ' in the Jnited States. It is nearly three imes as large as the aggregate sav ngs bank deposits of ?he whole coun ;ry. Think for a moment of the ncrease, simply seven years' incre nent, in the value of farm property leing nine times as great as the total lational banking capital of the United States, three times as great as all the lavings bank deposits accumulated luring all the past and half as large ts the entire capitalization of all the ?ailroads in the United States into vhich the surplus money of the land las been pouring for over three-quar ers of a century. In 1890 the 8,565,000 people en gaged in agriculture in this country lgpduced a total of $2,468,000,000, or m average of $287 per capita. In L907 the 11,991,000 engaged in agri mlture produced a total of $7,412, 100,000, or an average of $618 per ?apita. During that period the num >er of people engaged in agriculture ncreased by 40 -per cent while the .aluc of farm products increased by !00 per cent, and the value of all farm property increased by 89 per ?ent . In the brief period between 1900 ind 1907 the value of farm property idvanced in value from $20,439,000, 100 to $23,077,000,000, a gain of near y $8,000,000,000, or 37 per cent, nough the number of people engaged n agricultural pursuits increased only .0 per cent. A study of facts bearing upon agri aaltural conditions since 1870 shows hat in that year the value of all agri lultural products per capita to those ingaged in farm pursuits was $326, vhile from that figure here was a ?apid decline to $286 in 1880 and dur ng the next 10 years the er capita vas practically stationary, as the av erage in 1890 was only $287. If re iable figures were available, they vould show a marked decline between 1890 and 1896, because it was during hat period that the agricultural in erests reached their most acute stage rf poverty. lu those years farm pro tects, not only in the South, hut hroughout the country, were greatly lepreSsed, selling in many cases be ow the cost of raising. Farm lands ikewise steadily depreciated in value. 3y 1900, however, there h sd come a -reat change, due to the advance be wcon 1897 and 1900, and in the latter rear the vainc of farm products per apita was $451, a gain of $164 per apita, or about 57 per cent, campar d with 1890. Since 1900 this gain las continued uninterruptedly, ris ng in 1905 to $558 per capita, in .906 to $579 and in 1907 to $618. Sec -etary of Agriculture Wilson csti catcs the total value of this year's arm products at $3,000,000,000 or a ?aili of about $600,000.000 over .907. Accepting Mr. Wilson's fig ires as correct though we believe that, hey will prove to be too small, the ?er capita production will show an ither rapid advance this year. In 1S90 to 1906 the increasing pov xly of the fa rm el's of all sections, lue to low prices, was the subject if almost universal discussion. Con Miners of farm products were then inying at a lower cost than they lind .ver known before. But the produc l?S, Hie farmers of the land, were in lire poverty. With the increase in nanufacturing during the last ten .ears, and with thc development of ailroads and the large increase in thc lumber of their employes, making a rreat gain in the number of consum irs of farm products and the gradual slimination of the cheap lands of the Yest by settlements and the flood of .old pouring into the world's chan icls of trade, we have had a combi lation of circumstances which have inited to bring about a much higher ange of values. The consumer of arm products is no longer rejoicing n the low prices which prevailed 12 ?r 15 years ago. The farmer is now laving his inning and though this ?ondition works a hardship upon nany consumers, it is a great bless ng to the country at large. ^It should )ea matter of general rejoicing that he farmers arc on rising ground fi -artcially. 3BSBRVE SANITARY CONDITION'S Roup may generally be traced lo uncleanliness or unsanitary condi tions, lice, dampness or drafts, or un lue exposure to wet and cold woath ir.

Hov/ An American Business Marj Tried to Overturn a British Tradition. A writer in Everybody's Magazine tells the story of the collision cf an American business man with the Eng lUh tea habit. He had gone to Lon don as the manager of one of the biggest enterprises in which American money is invested. He was formally introduced to all his heads of depart ments on the first day he went to the offico. After everybody had strolled away and he had turned to his desk, .a small clerkly-looking person ap proached him and said: "Please, sir, ! wish to know If we can have" some new tea rings." "Tea rings?" said the manager; "what-in the name of tho Thames Em bankment are tea rings?" "Rings we put on tho stove when wo make cur tea, sir. Thank you." "When you make your tea?" "Oh, yes, sir; we have our tea reg ularly every afternoon. Thank you.' The manager looked into the tea business. He found the clerk was right. The whole office force quit work in the middle .of the afternoon and drank tea. The proposition did not appeal to his American mind, so he Issued an order stopping the tea drinking. Thore was a wild protest ""Here was this American overturning the precedents of centuries. Here was a man who dared to deprive tho Britons of their tea. The manager held out for a month and then capitu lated, fer his board of directors stood with the clerks. Tho directors drank tea too. He rescinded the order, bought tho new tea rings, and kept tab on the amount of gas used In brewing this necessary beverage. He discovered that the tea-thirst of the clerks in his offices cost the company for gas used to brew it $385 a year. A Gentle Hint. Senator Fulton at his annual Ore gon salmon dinner In Washington, told a tipping story. "In Astoria," he said, 'lhere used to be an old fisherman who brought mo the first of every month a present of a splendid salmon from his master. I always gave the old fisherman a tip. "But one roorniuig I was very 'busy and when the old man brought the Mah I thanked him hurriedly, and for go'tlng his tip bent over my desk again. He hesitated a moment, then cleared his throat and "said: "Senator, would ye he so kind as to put it in wrltin' that ye didn't give me no ?Mp this time, or my wife'll think I've went and spent it on rum." -Washington Star.

PINKHAM Nature and a woman's work com I bined have produced the grandest remedy for woman's ills that tho world has ever known. In the good old-fashioned days of our grandmothers they relied upon the roots and herbs of the field to cure disease and mitigate suffering. The Indians on our Western. Plains to-day can produce roots and herbs for every ailment, and cure diseases that baffle thc most skilled physicians who have spent years in the study of drugs. From the roots and herbs of tho field Lydia E. Pinkham more than thirty years ago gave to the women I of the world a remedy for their pe culiar ills, more potent and effica cious than any combination of drugs. Lydia E. Finkham's Vegetable Compound is now recognized as the standard remedy for woman's ills. Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 516 KC. St., Louisiana, Mo., writes: " Complete ' restoration to health means so much to me that for the sake of other suffering women I am willing to make my troubles public. "For twelve years I had been suffer ing with tho worst forms of female ills. During that time I had eleven different i physicians without help. Ko tongua am tell what I suffered, and at times I could hardly walk. About two~years ago I wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice. I followed it, and can truly say that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re stored health and strength. It is worth mountains of gold to suffering women." "? What Lydia E.
