Not only to beautify it, bnt to protect it, don't yon? Why then buy an inferior Paint just because it costs a few cents per gallon less than a well known first-class brand? That is folly, for a cheap paint is made of poor material and seldom lasts more than a year or two, whereas a good one should wear for five years at least. Our Crown Cottage Colors. will not chalk peel or scale and in covering capacity and durability is superior to the majority of Paints made including White Lead and Oil.

If? l Important Decision Lower Insurance Rates to to Given to Persons who d« not Drink Alcohollo Liquors By a recent decision of ons of Ike est insurance companies of the United States, lower rates are to be given those persons who do not Indulge In the use of any intoxicating liquors. Thia Is just, for statistics from all sources show that the use of alcohollo drinks always predis­ poses to kidney troubles, and Bright^ Disease, Diabetes and all other fatal kid­ ney diseases are far more frequent sa»ong drinkers of beer and alcoholic beverages than among those who do not Indulge In them. In a recent address before the Senate of the United States, Hon. J. H. Qallinger, Senator from New Hampshire, gave the results of most thorough Investigations made to ascertain the effects of beer drink­ ing upon the health and life of individ­ uals. He showed conclusively that almost all cases of Bright'* Disease were caused by beer drinking and that other fatal kid­ ney troubles had the same origin as a rale. As probably a large majority of men drink beer it becomes a matter of great concern to know the best way of overcom­ ing its effects upon the kidneyB. There Is nothing that will so quickly make the kid­ neys right in these cases as Folst's Kh>- nby Cubk. If taken early it will cure every 4 ̂ form of kidney trouble and even in hope* less cases it will give relief.

Holland, Chebanse, 111., shows what we mean by real accuracy. He planted hi3 corn with the New Deere No. 9, and •ays: Four hundred counted hills showed three hundred and ninety-eight hiUB with THREE growing stalks in each, and the remaining1 two four stalks in each." Thia result was obtained in the ordinary way in which a farmer puts in his crop, with no thought of counting- until after the com was up.
