His carcass will fertilize the garden proper number of feet be- low the surface soil, and at either ex- tremity may grow a hill of Indian corn whose fruitage may adorn the table and gratify the palate of the partaker next summer, and perhaps for many summers to come. Besides $f and dime will be saved to the wid- ow's coffers and the town clerk will search in vain for his upcollected tax, and the uncounted kernels of corn will grow over his grave, to assuage the grief of those he has left. behind.

CANCER

Sufferers from this horrible malady .early always inherit it not necessarily rom the parents, but may be from some emote ancestor, for Cancer often runs through several generations. This deadly ,oison may lay dormant in the blood for ears, or until you reach middle life, then he first little sore or ulcer makes its ap- oearance-or a swollen gland in the ,reast, or some other part of the body, sives the first warning.
 To cure Cancer thoroughly and perma- ',ently all the poisonous virus must be eliminated from the blood-every vestagee # it driven out. This s. s. s. does, and } the only medicine that can reach deep eated, obstinate blood troubles like tbis.

LETTER TO w. B. SNIFFEN,
SANDY HOOK.

Dear Sir: If you buy paint by the gallon look out for rshort-measure. One of the paints for sale in your section has about 21O cubic inches gallon. Takes 231 to make real gallon. There are great businesses founded on ten per cent short.
 It is queer that man or concern Il expose his or it's nakedness so; but he does, and it does.
 Look out.
 But that isn'tall to look out for. Some give full measure; land cheat in the quality.
 What do you paint for, the looks? or to keep your house from rotting? Both of course.
 A big hotel man painted Devoe eight years ago; was going to paint it again: eight years is good long time fer a hotel, you know-struck a bargain: saved five cents gallon; missed Devoe.
 Poor fellow? There isn't an ounce of lead in his paint-we don't know how good or bad it is; but there isn t any lead in it.
 Yours truly, 51 F. w. DevOe & Co.
