A RT AMI ARTIST S

There is much preparation in the air for
the forthcoming spring exhibition of the
Society of Washington Artists, which opens
at their galleries, 1920 Connecticut avenue,
on March %. While the painters them
selves, as a rule, are not inclined to d.
vulge to any extent their plans or to ex-
plot their projected contributions prema-
turely, enough is to be CLEANED by gen.
eral consensus of the hints and confident
attitudes which reward tour of the stu
dos to warrant the prophecy of an I'M

Mr.. Allen c. Clark, Mr.. Joseph Latimer

A LETTER TO G. DAUMAS,
Middlebury. VT.

Dear Sir: As painter you probably
use lead and oil. and would naturally
object To Devoe lead and zinc. Let us
have a few words on the subject.
Painters say good lead and oil job
will last three years. and they say a
house ought to be painted once in three
years.
We take them 70 mean that their work
is good for three years, no more and no
less, or not much more and not much
less.
DO YOU want your work to last longer
What do you say TO six years. You'd
have to have twice as much work, you
know; or you'd be losing money.
Consider the case of your doctor. on
call him in. Is il better for him to get
your child out of bed tomorrow, or keep
him sick for onth:
You prefer "A quick doctor. So does
everyone else in your town, and county.
and state, we are all alike; We all want
our doctors quick. a doctor, that gets
his patients up quick, is the doctor that
gets the paticnrs-gets rich too, if he
| isn't run to death.
It's about the same with painter isn't
| it: Suppose you paint Devoe, and your
competitor objects to Devoe; your work
| lasts six years and his work three. You
cost your customers half he costs double.
Who'll get the business; and who'll go
to Texas?
Devoe lasts six years-not eXactly-we
know of its lasting seventeen-and ii
never wears out in less than three, so
far as we know. On windy, sandy sea-
side house, it lasts three years. Lead
and oil lasts one year there.
Devoe lasts two or three times as long
as lead and oil ; and it's going to paint
your town. Do you want to be in 1t?
Yours truly.

A LASTING EFFECT.
This Evidence Should Prove
Every Claim.

Relief from the pains and aches Of a
bad back is always welcome to every
backache sufferer, but to cure a lame,
weak or aching back is what's wanted.
Cure it so it will stay cured. 1t can be
done. Here's the strongest evidence to
prove it.
Mr.. II. P. Smith, blacksmith, of Elm
street, Amesbury, Mass, says: "Nlrs.
Smith, from a cold which settled in her
loins, suffered so severely from backache
that she was unable to attend to the or
binary household duties, often finding it
impossible to even make bed for three
months. had read great many state
ments of residents of Amcsbury who pos
itively declared that Doan's Kidney Pills
had cured them of backache and other
symptoms of kidney complaint. This led
me to make some inquiries, and as a re-
suit Mrs. Smith took thorough course
of the treatment. 1t cured her. 1t is so
long ago that ] am confident the results
are permanent. We never lose an oppor-
turity of advising others who suffer from
either weakened or over-excited kidneys
to procure Doan's Kidney Pills, and we
know of scores i'll and around Anesbury
who have taken our advice and were not
only surprised but gratiied at the bene.
