TEMPERANCE IN THE ARMY.

Some interesting testimony on the
general subject of the value Of absti-
hence from Intoxicating liquors for
soldiers was furnished at the recent
annual meeting of the Army Temper
ance Association in London. Sir
George White, the defender of Lady
smith, who succeeded Lord Roberts
the chair. The following account is
from an editorial in the New York
Evening Post:
''Gen. Sir George White i'll his speech
said that during his experience as
commander in India he had been
struck by the marvelously greater
number of offenders among men who
took liquor than the number among
those who did not He expressed
the belief that one third of the ZOO
British soldiers in India are total alb
stainers. A letter was read from Lord
Roberts written at Bloemfontein on
the 10Th Of April, in which he said that
he supposed there never was more
temperate army than that which
marched under his command from the
Modder river to Bloemfontein, and
added: Il believe that nothing but
good can result from so many soldiers
from all parts of the empire being
brought together in an arduous cam
paign, when they see how splendidly
our temperance men have borne up
against the many difficulties and dan
gers which they have had to face
" Temperance rooms in barracks
received the hearty endorsement of
the association. Such rooms have
been provided throughout India, and
General White bore witness that the
result had been immense benefit to
the forces He declared himself
thoroughly in accord with the sugges-
ton that the government should
provide temperance rooms in all bar
racks. The best weapon for fight
ing the ennui which contributes SO
largely to immoderate drinking is the
provision of agreeable quarters where
soldiers can have good time without
recourse to either the outside saloon
or army canteen."

Said DIR. I'D. Crothers. secretary

Said DR.. T. ID. Crothers, secretary
of the American Medical Temperance
Association, in his annual report
before that body: ut will be of inter-
est to each one of us to know that
duriug the past year, from July, 1899,
to May, 1900, sixty two medical papers
have appeared in the medical journals
of this country and Canada on alcohol,
opium, cocaine, and other narcotics.
Thirty editorials and editorial notes
on this subject have been printed,
giving unmistakable evidence that the
alcoholic problem is rapidly coming
into notice. And, once brought into
notice the problem will continue to
demand attention in greater and
greater degree until settled and set
tied right by both scientist and moral
list.

The Temperance Congress held in

The Temperance Congress held in
Boston for the purpose of considering
methods of overcoming the liquor
traffic expressed it's great desire to be
the evolving of a common platform
on which men of different political
persuasions will be so brought togeth-
er and aroused that their combined
energy will be trained against the
liquor business. DIR. George Lorimer,
in his opening address, told how, in
the last campaign for no license in
Boston, the increased vote for the
saloon came from the so-called re-
spectacle, refined people of the Back
Bay district and other wealthy and
aristocratic portions of the city,
where the people are not willing to
have saloons and will not permit
them, but vote to have them, and
thrust them upon their less fortunate
brothers in the poorer districts. He
suggested that it would be far better
to have them opened next door to
the churches rather than next door to
the weak and poor.

his return she asked if he had taken
his medicine. No, he candidly replied,
but Bobby Jones did. He liked it, so
snapped it with him for a handful of
peanuts.

say how much more this means than simply
the sale of good paint

with every customer.
eff you have any fault to find with this
paint. either now or in putting it on, or here
after in the wear, tell your dealer about it.
eve authorize him to do what is right at
our expense"
We become, you see, the partner of every
man that uses our paint; and the partnership
lasts as long as he chooses to continue it.
Suppose 100 jobs of painting are done with
Devoe lead and zinc this year; and some of
them don't turn out satisfactory two or three
years from now. Our agent has got to "do
what is right at our EXPENSE
OF course this means that we know our
paint is going to turn out all right.
We have been in business, we and
fathers in business, 145 years; have made
great deal of paint; and have dealt with thou
sands and thousands of people. Are not in
the least afraid to "do what is right" when a
job goes wrong.
And in this age of adulteration, we say
''Send it to your state chemist. If he finds it
adulterated, we will pay his bill and send you
$780,"
There is such a thing as honest business yet
in the world.
