Points About Paint EcOnOmy,

The best way of doing good and
economical painting is a dark secret
to a great majority of people who do
job of painting now and then, or
have to direct its doings, and few
suggestions may be given which, if
acted upon, will lead to results that
will look better and last longer. In
the first place when house is
painted, or other large job is under
taken, about two-thirds of the cost is
for labor. This cost is exactly the
same whether the paint is good or
bad. whether it will wear for years or
chalk of in few months. A little
thinking over this side of the ques-
ton will convince anyone of the econ
omy of buying good paint and the
wastefulness of investing in lead or
cheaper paints which are notorious
for chalking off easily.
For a number of years the paints
manufactured by the Sherwin-Will-
Jams company have sustained high
reputation for all kinds of painting,
ihSiuc anu cue, uiHoicHt ItduN -nlAeu
cOlors being prepared by this COM
pany for every special use. either in-
doors or exposed to the weather A
gallon of their house paints covers
800 square feet or more of surface in
average condition with two coats, and
from this point of view they are more
economical. But the greatest saving
is in the long time that the paint will
remain bright, and that they do all
the duties good paints are intended to
do longer than any other. There is
also a good point to be considered in
having paint properly prepared for
your purpose. There is vast differ
ence. for example, between enamel
paint, floor paint. wagon paint, house
paint and buggy paint. All of these
and others are specially prepared in
cans by the observation-disclosures COM
pany. all ready for use.
The safest paint-plan for any one
who desires to be Independent and
safe is to go by the label on the can.
The title of the Shirwin-Williams
company is guarantee of paint ex-
csllence. A postal card addressed to
the company at 100 Canal street.

on painting.

A FAMOUS DISH.
With a New and SavOry Favor.

Chop beef, mutton or pork into
hash. Take a quantity of Grape
Nuts equal to half the amount of
meat. Mix into the Grape-Nuts a raw
egg and what milk it will take up.
Salt and pepper to suit taste.
Now thoroughly mix meat aud all
into hash. form into patties like sau-
sage and place in a hot skillet with
only enough butter on bottom to pre-
vent sticking. Place cover over the
skillet and cook until done.
Put little piece of butter on top
of each patty if they tend to become
dry, but do not use enough to make
greasy.
Serve hot and you will discover that
the meat has acquired a most savory
flavor from the Grape-Nuts. and ut
the same time it has been rendered
easily digestible and the element in
GrapeNuts furnish most valuable
nOurishment for athletes as well as
invalids. Made by the Postum Co.,
Battle Greek, Mich.

which is feast for the eyes of the
housewife.
MIR. Flemming started in the furni-
ture business eight years ago with
+. H. Kann. Four years later they dis
solved partnership. and Mr.. Flem-
ming opened store on Twentieth
street, finally moving to 1914 Second
avenue, his present location. He has
enjoyed a steady and healthy growth
in trade, selling for cash and on mar
row profits, until it has become nec-
essary to increase his floor space with
each succeeding year.
A visit to the Flemming Furniture
company's store is worth the while
You are welcome whether YOU intend
purchasing or not-the proprietor
will run chances on his goods and
prices attracting attention.
The first floor is occupied by furni-
tnre. and the second floor by the car
peting and upholstering departments.
Mr.. Flemming claims an advantage
which he never before enjoyed-he
does all his buying in car load lots
and consequently secures quotations
that are away down, and is able to out.
do his competitors in making prices.
His goods include all qualities in or
der that all tastes and circumstances
can be satisfied.
In word the Flemming Furniture
company is doing a fine business
because it has the goods the people
want and at the prices they can afford
to pay.

sQuIBs OF SPORT.

Pat Wright is doing great work fol
St. Joe.
Danny Sweeney is holding down q
job at Rock Island arsenal. Harry
Sage and Paddy Lynch are also EN-,
ployed there.
Rock Island intends to have profes.
sional ball next season. 1t will soon
be time for meeting to determine the
composition of league for next year
The Columbus team is still putting
up at Dubuque, but it is believed will
return home after the Ohio townpeople
have been given scare and taught a
lesson that they must patronize the
game if they expect to have a club.
Many of the Western association
players have secured berths in the In
terstate league. Strauss is holding
down first for Mansfield. Fender and
Schrecongost are with Youngstown,
and TRULY is with Dayton.
After good fight of 20-rounds
duration Joe Bernstein, of New York,
gained a well-earned decision over
Eddy Santry, of Chicago, at the Le-
nox Athletic club, New York, last
night. Santry showed to better add
vantage than when he met George
Dixon in the same ring a few weeks
ago. He fought more openly. but he
had not the strength of which his
rival was possessed.
When Schuman. of the Omahas.
threw up his hands as Western
league, manager, he was in arrears to
his players aboutSl, 800. Van Brunt,
of St. Joseph, was ready to take the
club with clean slate. so President
johnson went to Milwaukee, and paid
the back salary with league funds.
The franchise and players are the
property of the league, Van Brunt
merely agreeing to carry the team to
the close of the season. The location
of the club in 1899 will be matter
for the directors to decide, and it will
not be at st. Joseph unless the at
tendance is such as to convince them
that club will be supported there

The DELLA BEN DAVIS.

The following letter has been received
by r. J. Coffey from the Rural New
Yorker, and the information promptly
furnished. 1t shows that Delta county
apples are making national reputation
for their flavor, juiciness and keeping
qualities OF her fruit. The letter is as
followe:
New York, Jan. 7, 1898.
RI. .CoFFEY:-Dear Sir-I just received
letter from H. E. Finney, the mana ger
Mo. He tells me that they have 10 cold
storage good many barrels OF Colorado
apples and says the Ben Davis as grown
with you is really fine apple, much
more juicy and spicy than the dry fruit
try. would like to take the liberty OF
Bon Davis apples are SO much better
than ours. Do you attribute it to your
soil, your climate or to your methods OF
irrigation? would like il possible to
learn all possibly can about this mat
ter as it promises to be of good deal of
importance to our eastern fruit growers.
Certainly il you can produce Ben Davis
apple with the well known keeping
qualities of that variety and preserve it's
high color and improve the quality, there
is no use in our eastern growers trying
to plant that variety. / shall be very
much pleased to have you tell us if you
can, something about this variety as
grown with you. Does it's shape and
eize differ materially from the eastern
Ben Davis? Can you improve its color
and in general way, as it increases in
spiciness and juicy qualities, does its
keeping quality decrease! Anything
you can tell US about this matter will be
appre :iated and we shall be glad to
reciprocate in any possible way.

BoYco1lHG THE DENVER DAiLiEs.

Fourteen Of the largest business
houses of Denver have mutually agreed
to boycott the Republican, News, Times
and Post unless they will make reduc
tion OF from 20 to 30 per cent in their
advertising rates, which they plainly
cannot do. What would these fourteen
business firms have said had the pub
and said, 'you are charging too much
for your goods and unless you make a
reduction OF 20 per cent on what you
sell in the forenoon and 30 per cent on
what you sell in the afternoon, We will
withdraw all our patronage and quit
buying goods" they would have said at
once that the newspaper men were crazy,
and justly 80.
This action on the part OF the business
houses will greatly cripple the ability OF
the Denver papers TO do good work not
only for Denver but for the entire state
and will certainly react on them in a way
they little dream. How many great con-
ventions would Denver have had and
and Plain amount TO but for the free
advertising given by these great dailies
and the other papers OF the state, aud
these business houses reaped a tremen-
dous benefit from everything OF that
sort.
1t will benefit the country merchants
more than any other class, because many
people in the smaller towns. where from
the nature OF things stocks must be
limited, have become in the habit Of
reading the ads OF Special sales in the
Denver dailies and sending in mail orders
for what they wanted to buy. Now these
parties must either buy at home or they
will send to Chicago, st. Louis or New
York. This means the loss of thousands
Of dollars every year to Denver and
solely through the folly Of her own bust
ness men.
