LETTER TO DIR. A. UEBELACKER
MorriStown, N. j..

Dear Sir: For your house, no matter
what's the matter with tit isn't hu-
man you know-a prescription:
Devoe &Raynold's lead and zinc. Apply
with brush, from one to three coats
get painter to do it,
Your state chemist knows all about
Devoe & Reynolds; has analysed it; re-
ports it pure; will analyze it occasionally.
He buys it wherever he likes-it is
generally in the best paint-store in town.
You know what the color and dryer
are for; do you know what the lead and
zinc and oil are for? Not being a paint
er, you may not choose to know; but
we'll tell you.
Lead and zinc and oil combine to form
rubber waterproof coat to keep out
dampness. That's the whole business.
The oil would do it alone; lead and
oil would do it, without the zinc; zinc
and oil without the lead but the three
together are best, because they wear
best
We say to you, .'get painter" as
we'd say to him ''get doctor every
man to his trade, Can't all be painters
and doctors; don't want to.
You will be more successful in pros
porous looking house; and he in good
health. Take good care OF one another.
Yours truly,
F, W. Devoe x G. Z. Reynolds Co.

A good story, and just as true as it
is good, is being told round Uncle
Jake Aliens boat house about three
young Morristonians who recently
visited the lake with their parents. 1t
appears the lads, while familiar with
the style of row boat i'll vogue at the
seashore know nothing about boats
with lockers under the middle seat, in
to which water flows, so that fish or
bait can be kept alive for days if de-
sired. The boys started across the
lake TO ga her pond lilies, when one
tritie more inquisitive than the 9TH
ers raised the lid of the locker. He
saw the water was of considerable
depth and to his mind the boat was
filling rapidly, he at once shouted to
his friends the boat was sinking. One,
the best oarsman of the three, pulled
for the boat house, the other two bail
ing for dear life all the way across.
Such expressions as Mill, bail faster.
"Walt won't you row faster?' "Ray,
the water is gaining, you must do bet
ter, = etc.. were heard all the way
back to Allen's dock. Uncle Jake saw
that something serious had happened,
SO with his customary kindness hur.
ried to the dock where his patrons, all
excited, told of their narrow escape
from drowning. The old fisherman,
smiling audibly remarked, "Well,
I'll be gol- darned" and explained &c
the pale-fa sailors the reason fol-
the water in the locker. The young
fellows took the joke good naturally
but blistered hands and aching backs,
they say are no joke.

According 10 DIR. George II. White. q
surgeon attached to the general field
hospital staff and lately returned from
Manila, a rush for the goldhelds Is pre-
pairing in Manila. where a crowd OF
over 1000 miners, land spectators. dis
charged soldiers aud adventures has
assembled. waiting for the establish
ment of a civil government and the as
surance OF protection of their lives and
property. says the New York sun.
"And when the race for the interior
begins il Is hound to be one Of the most
picturesque episodes Of history in the
new century" he added.
1T has come to be taken as an assur-
cd fact that there Is gold In large guam
titles in the islands. One may hear the
subject discussed In the clubs, In the
cafes and In the saloons. ~Prospectors
and soldiers have struck pay dirt along
the banks Of the Rio Grande and W
above San Isidro. which they claim are
deposits washed down from the noun
tains. Natives from the back country
have brought down ingots Of pure gold
which they have bartered IN trade with
the whites. They usually sell them for
half their real value. but they cunning
ly conceal the location of the places
whence they came. Besides the gold
there are known to be valuable depos-
Its of coal. iron ore, petroleum, copper
and marble.
Around the harbor OF Cebu there are
big deposits of coal under the first lay
er Of earth So easily Is 1t to be mined
that several army officers formed a
company aud started to get It on the
market. | am told that they sold It for
$50 q ton, Then General Macarthur at
Manila heard Of II and forbade further
operations by this company. as 1t was
contrary TO articles OF war for officers
in the army to profit by business enter.
prise in a territory In which they were
operating by force of arms.
AT the harbor of Rombolon deposits
Of white marble are to be seen In the
face Of the cliff that forms part OF the
harbor. There Is no doubt that out
side OF the army prospecting Is going
on all the time and that the adven
turous spirits who have come TO Ma.
Mia with the gold fever will he pack
ed and ready to move when they may
do so with some degree Of safety and
with confidence iD the future.
"In what ] say ! do not wan to i'm.
ply that the islands are overrun with
immigrants"
