THERE ARE MORE THINGS TO
be learned about paint than are dreamed
Of In your philosophy. One thing you
will easily believe, the cheapest Ia not
the best. This applies with EQUAL force
to everything put on the market, yet
some people think It does not matter
when applied to paint. 1t costs more
money, time and labor to make good
paint than to make bad. That II why
the good Il higher priced, and also why
Il gives greater satisfaction, and does
more and better work. BY these points
are the Chiffon Paints known. Regard
ed from the standpoint Of value they are
really the cheapest paints, because two
coats will completely cover where II
will often take three Of any other, be-
cause you get full gallon and not nine
tenths of one, and because II put on q
dry surface It will last for years and
years. Ask anyone who las ever used
Chiffon Paints and see what they say.

MILLER IS NOT NEEDED.
The Reason for His Resign alton from
the Nicaragua Company.

Ex-senator Warner Miller has resign
ed from the Presidency of the Nicaragua
Canal Construction Company, but the
Board of Directors, in accepting his
resignation, does not seem to be IN any
hurry to elect anyone In his place.
Inquiries at the Office OF the Canal
Company in Wall street this afternoon
failed to elicit any information as to Mr..
Miller's reasons for resIgning, except
that as the Company was now in the
hands OF a receiver and in process of
reorganization, he probably felt there
was no longer any need for his services.
He is still large stockholder in the
Company.
Mr.. Miller is at his home in Herkimer.
Recently he has been quite i'll, but is
now recovering.
1t is stated that the Reorganization
Committee is carrying out its plans
with every assurance of success. and
that In all probability the Company will
soon be rescued from its entanglements.
