Ton take a good deal of risk if you buy white lead without having abso lute assurance as to its purity and auallty. You know white lead is of ten adulterated, of ten misrepresented.

Planting your waste land with trees may mean a college education for your " son, a wedding trousseau for your lit ; tie daughter, and something for your iVjjold age, says George Wilder, in the October Delineator. There is hardly a farm in this coun try that has not some waste land. If there is, it isn't in good old New Eng land! By waste land is meant land practically" useless to the farmer land that is looked upon as worth lit tle or nothing. In almost all cases it could be and should be made a -source of revenue. Today that land is useless, practi - cally valueless. Seeded ,to pine, forty years from now, when some son, yet to be born, may be twenty years of age, it may b? covered with timber and worth approximately from two hundred to two hundred and fifty dol lars an acre. This estimate of value is based on the returns from pines forty years old and harvested now; while, if the recent tremendous in crease in timber prices continues thro ' four more decades, the returns from seeds planted^ at this time will be something enormously greater. There are scientific ways of start ing a pine wood and there are easy . ways. Both begin along the same course, the gathering of the seed. It takes two years for white pine seeds to grow.. They must be gathered from the trees just before the cones open in their second year. In New Eng land this is from the end of August to the middle of September. Th? small cones, about a half-inch in length, that are now on the trees will ? be the ripe cones of the ensuing year. Cones which are" three or four inches in length now will be ripe this fall. Much more can be told about this fruhject than this amateur planter knows. The Forest Service of the Department of Agriculture at Wash ington is only too glod to give you ?ll kinds of information. If you buy len dollars will buy three or four pounds of seed. Three acres, forty years from now, may well be worth four thousand dollars. Think of it! ~sn:t it worth while to do it for your ld age or for those who may come i*i'ttr you? And isn't it better yet to get your small boy to do it ? Forty years seems a long time to wait to get the return from any effort -forty seems too long for some peo ple-but nothing worth accomplish ing is ever accomplished in a moment and he who builds for tomorrow a far-off tomorrow, is he who really builds. -,-, ' AFRAID TO EAT , Girl Starving on Ill-Selected Food. "Several years ago I was actually starving," writes a Me. girl, "yet dared not eat fdr fear of the conse quences. "I had suffered from indigestion from overwork, irregular meals and / improper food, until at last my stomach became so weak I could eat scarcely any food without great dis tress. "Many kinds of food were tried, all with the same discouraging ef fects. I steadily lost health and strength until I was but a wreck of ray former self. "Having heard of Grape-Nuts and . its great merits, I purchased a pack ago, but with little hope that it would help me-I was so discouraged. "I found it not only appetizing but that I could, eat it as I liked and that lt satisfied the craving for food with out causing distress, and if I may use the expression, 'it filled the bill.' "For months Grape-Nuts was my principal article of diet. I felt from the very first that I had found the right way to health and happiness," and my ^anticipations were fully realizsd.

System of Long Standing WORK OF SPECIAL LEGISLATURE Governor Smith Signs Bill Which Ends a Regime of Corruption and Great Brutality in the Cracker State. Atlanta, Ga., Special.-Just at mid night Saturday night Governor Hoke Smith signed the convict lease bill which hereafter prohibits the leasing pf felons except hy the consent of the Governor and prison commission. The bill was passed by the Legis lature Saturday after $35,000 had been spent in an ' extra session, and nearly a month used m discussing the legislation. With the signature of Govenor Smith on the bill as en grossed, Georgia has done away with a system which has been in exist ence ever since 18C5. It was to settle this convict lease question that Governor Smith called i special session of the Legislature. Ee desired that the lease system he absolutely abolished and the bill as passed provides that there will be no leasing of convicts to any contractor for private gain. It is said these con ractors have made thousands of dol lars out of convict labor in Georgia in the last forty years, men being leased to them at $100 a piece with the proviso of board and sleeping juarters. In the investigation which led to ihe present legislation there was con siderable testimony to the effect that negro convicts had been whipped by overseers, that in several cases the abuse had resulted in the d?ath of men under the control of the lessee. When the Georgia Legilature as sembled a month ago to consider th? question of convict labor, Governor Smith announced that he desired all traces of the lease sysem to be erad icated. The House and Senate disa greed as to how this should be ac 2omplished. The Senate insisted that there should be no leasing after March 31 next. The House wanted he lease system extended to 1911. Finally, however, House "and Senate compremised oh a measure which permits the use by- the State of any 3onvicts not used on State roads, nor by municipalities, nor in State insti-' tutions. These men may be used as the prison commission and Governor sees fit, but as a close friend of Gov ernor Smith said when it was sug gested this provision might have a "joker." "Governor Smith, you may be sure, is totally opposed to leasing convicts to private individ uals and: will never consent to- any leases of this kind. The lease system is dead." Watchman Killed hy* Bohh?r. Durham, Special.-The dead body of Jack Roberson, night watchman of the Carrington Lumber Company, of East Durham, was found Satur day morning in the road between the company's plant and the railroad tracks, cold and evidently having been there several hours.

POSTAL BANKS FAVORED Proposition to Establish Postal Sav ings Banks Will he Considered hy the National Association of Post masters at Theil Convention in Chattanooga. Chattanooga, Tenn., Special.-Dis cussion of postal savings banks and parcels post will occupy the attention of thc National Association of Post masters of First Class Offices during the convention opened in this city Thursday. Postmaster General Geo. Von L. Myer and several of his sub ordinates from Washington, with postmasters from nearly all of the larger cities of the country will take part in the consideration of these vital topics. Postmaster General Myer has gone on record as favoring both projects and will renew his recommendations for their adoption in his next annual report to the President and Congress. The postal savings bank proposit ion, in its modified form, will limit deposits to small amounts, thus mak ing the? system practically an auxili ary and feeder for national and. State banks. Opinion among the visiting postmasters as to the parcels post system is divided, but a majority favor the plan. Friends of the meas ure declare that nothing now pre vents the establishments of a parcels post but' the influence of the express compames. In the matter of back-stamping the day and hour of arrival of letters, the postmasters are generally agreed that the plan should be continued. The practice was discontinued ? in New -York, but the postmaster of that city reports that numerous com plaints have been made by patrons. Lawyers and big commercial con cerns have urged that the practice of back-stamping be resumed, as the back-stamp is sometimes highly im-* portant in the trial of cases by law.

Nevertheless, the Lyceum Francais, established by the Duchess Dre. d'Uzes, Mme. Alphonse Daudet and other well known Frenchwomen, is having a very successful start. It is just fairly settled in its home, a splendid house in the Rue de la Bienfaisance, of which the old carv ed oak mantelpiece and door in the reading room are said to be worth a visit in themselves.

Gets Nomination For a Second Term as Governor of N. Y. HE GOES IN BY ACCLAMATION After the Utter Failure of the County Leaders to Discover An other Candidate Upon Whom They Could Unite, the Republicans of New fork Nominate Governor Hughes to Succeed Himself. Saratoga, N. Y., Special.-Charles Evans Hughes, of New York, was nominated by the Republican State convention by an overwhelming ma jority and on the first ballot, to suc ceed himself as Governor of the State of New York, fie received 827 votes out of a possible 1,009, a's against 151 for James W. Wadsworth Jr., of Livingstone county, Speaker of the State Assembly, and 31 for former Congressman John K. Stew art, cf .Montgomery. The nomination was made unani mous upon motion of State Com mitteeman William Barnes, Jr., of Albany, who has .been perhaps the bitterest and most outspoken op ponent of the Governor's renomina tion. The Governor's renomination fol lowed the utter failure of a desperate struggle on the part of a number' c4 the county leadeis, who for four days have spared no effort to dis cover a candidate upon whom they could unite to defeat him. The balance of ' the ticket was made as an.organization "slate" an nounced an hour or more before f session of the convention began, Timothy L. Woodruff, chairman of the State committee. Senator White, who was chosen as a candidate for Lieutenant Governor, was in the "running" for the Gov ernorship until the early afternoon, when he requested his friends not to present his name. It was the 1S3 votes of all but one district in New York county that carried the Governor's total beyond the 505, a majority of the convention required to nominate. The nine votes of Nassau county had brought the Hughes total to 395. Amid the brethless hush the secre tary of the convention called "New York," * . Herbert Parsons, president of the New York county Republican general convention, rose in his. place and said dramatically: "New Yo-k county, second as sembly district, gives four for Wads worth, the balance of the county, 1S3 for Charles Evans Hughes." A thousand pencils in two seconds had footed the Hughes total to 578. and every person in the great hall knew that the battle was over, and the place was instantly a bedlam of cheering. Hardly less sensational had been the moment when State Chairman Woodruff delivered to Hughes, in spite of a general expectation to the contrary, the entire vote for King's county, 138, bringing the Governor's total to 342, for Woodruff had been avowedly opposed to the Governor's renomination. It was really thc action of King's which signalized what might be called "the stampede to Hughes" and when its 13S votes were cast in a block for the Governor any remaining doubt of his nomina tion was swept away. Governor Hughes Expresses His Ap predation. Rochester. N. Y., Special.-"l am deeply sensible of the honor con ferred upon me. I wish to express my appreciation of the confidence reposed in me by the Republican party." Thus did Governor Hughes make his first public statement after his notification of renomination for Gov ernor of New York State. Beyond that the Governor would say nothing, either as to his running mate on the Republican ticket or his policies for the second term, should he be elected. Governor Hughes passed through Rochester early that night bound from Warsaw to Albany. Granted New Trial Staunton, Va., Special.-The Vir ginia Supreme Court of Appeals at Staunton granted new trials to the negroes, Burton and Conquest, con victed here upon a change of venue in the Onancock race riot cases and given one year each in the peniten tiary.

In October, when leaves and flowers are dying, when Nature is closing ^ev eyes for her long sleep, it is only those of experience who cry: "This is thc best time to start a garden." There is always a setback to a gar den started ir* the spring, because it is -lot long enough from tb*? +ime growth begins until the hour of bfoom to give many plants their full chance to expand before sending forth their flowers. A plant must almost reach maturity before it blooms, which in deed it only does that it may form seed and thus perpetuate itself to poster ity. To start a garden early is often the secret of success. By preparing the beds and borders in the autumn, discing them ont about two feet deep, placing inverted sod in the bottom and finally fillinsr them up with layers of manure, light soil and top-dressing, much time is saved in the spring, when the irresistible not-a-minute-lOrl?se feeling is in the air. Besides, there is something about a well-settled bed that flowers like better than one that is quite new. If in the spring these autumn-prepared beds require extra mulching or' ferti lizing, it is a matter that is very eas ily attended to. When the beds and borders are made, the garden should bc cleared of all surplus material. The roots of strong weeds should be*lifted, and a light dressing of manure spread over the places that are destined to be lawn thc following spring.-The October Delineator. c ' The Old Standard GROVE'S T. system.
