Dear Sir:-"'The Golden Dog
Its the nickname they've given
the dog on the label that goes on the

thin paints or white lead. There
Is n reason for it. We put our
whole business energy into making

the only y paint that stands the ad-
dition of large quantities of lino

Sudden Death of a Little Child
from Eating Dyspepsia Tablets.
EstelIine, the little Is months
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. D
NJ Walkup, who live near Tirzah
church, died suddenly under very
sad circumstances last Tuesday.
A carpenter, who was building a
house for MIR. Walkup, was taxi
ing "dyspepsia tablets" some
patent miXture-and left the box
on table. During the day the
child got hold of the box and ate
number of the tablets-it is not
known how many. It's mother
inquired if there was any harm in
them and the opinion of all was
that they were harmless. The child
played about in the house as usual
but in less than half an hour took
CONFUSION from which it died.
The remains were buried Ned
nesday at Tirzah church. The
sorely stricken parents have the
heartfelt sympathy of their many
friends in the sad death of their
little one.
