st Johnsbury, Vt.


Dear Sir: You understand chemistry /;
how'd you like to earn 500.
Devoe lead and hats the name
of our paint that lasts twice as long as
lead and oils made of whitehead,
white.znc, it's color, turpentine dyer and
linseed oil
If any chemist finds anything else in
this paint, we'll pay his bill and 500 be-
sides.
It's nobody's business what we put in
our paint, of course; but we want it
Fnown. For lead and ENC and linseed
oil are the stuff to paint with: and lead
alone is not.
We want it known that one word de-
scrlbes the best paint in the world; and
that word is Devoe.
Are you going to paint?
Yours truly,
F. W. DEvoE & Co.

= fortunately the story is now diff

nothing but trouble. Riots, murder and
acts Of a most diabolical nature have
been committed upon the native adher-

grew SO bad that the Germans sent in
land a strong military force, burning
down one or two villages and taking
back with them several Of the leaders Of
the villagesas hostages for future peace.
On several occasions Americans and
Germans escaped by diplomacy and
pluck. The indemnity for these out
RACES has just been paid, and now the
whole western part of the province is in
a ferment and much care will be neces-
sary to pass the winter without the loss
of foreign life. y
