How Her Life Was Saved When Bit-

How few people there are who are
not afraid of snakes. Not long ago a
harmless little garter snake fell on
the wheel of an automobile which was

promptly fainted and the car, left to
its own resources, ran into a stone
wall and caused a serious accident.

We have fought, them until they

Now they are coming to us and say-
ing. “let us reason together about
these things,” but it is not yet time
to consider peace. We must prepare
for the most terrific battle this fall
that has ever been known between

Then we must prepare for battle.
This preparation should begin with,

off buying the buggy unless you have
the cash to pay for it. but above ev-

Anything in the nature of a chem- !
; leal experiment is always interesting 1
| and usually educative. Here is a sim- |
pie experiment which any child can I
i perform and which is instructive in a •
very practical way: Get a bit of White
Lead about the size of a pea, a piece
of charcoal, a common candle in a
candlestick, and a blow-pipe. Scoop
out a little hollow in the charcoal to
hold the White I^ad, then light the
candle, take the charcoal and lead in
one hand and the blow-pipe in the
other, with the large end of the blow-
pipe between the Ups; blow the flame
of the candle steadily against the bit
of White Lead on the charcoal and if
the White Lead is pure it will pres-
ently resolve itself into little shining
globules of metallic lead, under the
intense heat of the blow pipe, leaving
no residue.
If, however, the White Lead is adul-
terated in the slightest degree, it will
not wholly change into lead. So, it
will be seen, that this experiment is
not only an entertaining chemical
demonstration, but also of practical
use in the home. White Lead is the
most important ingredient of paint*
It should be bought pure and unadul-
terated and mixed with pure linseed
oil. That is the best paint. The
above easy experiment enables any-
one to know whether the paint is the
kind which will wear or not.
The National Lead Company guar-
antee that white lead taken from a
package bearing their “Dutch Boy
Painter" trade-mark will prove abso-
lutely pure under the blow-pipe test;
and to encourage people to make the ’
test and prove the purity of paint be-
fore using it, they will send free a
blow-pipe and a valuable booklet on
paint to anyone writing them asking j
for Test Equipment. Address Na- .
tional Lead Company, Woodbridge
Building, New York City.

The real meaning of the word Neu-

as to hear lof its antidote. Though

As now generally understood the word
signifies an, affection of the nervous
system, with pain in the course of the
• principal nerves.
The two great causes of Neuralgia
are, Impoverishment of the Blood
and Deficiency of Nerve Force; and
the treatment of it is not so obscure
as many would be led to suppose. The
first thing is to relieve the pain,
which is done more quickly and satis-
factorily by ST. JACOBS OIL than by
any other remedy known; the second
object is to remove the cause, which
is accomplished by the abundant use
of nourishing food, of a nature to
strengthen and give tone to both the
muscular and nervous systems.
