Dear Sir: For your house, no matter

Devoe lead and zinc. Apply with q
brush. from one to three coats-get a
painter to do it.
Your state chemist knows all about
Devoe: has analyZed it: reports i
pure: will analyZe il occasionally. he
buvs ii wherever he likeS-it is gener-
ally 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
FAINTER. YOU may not choose to know;
but we'll tell YOU.
Lead and zinc and oil. combine TO
form rubbery 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: zine
and oil without the lead; but the three
together are best, because they weai

We say to you. get painter, as
we'd say to him get doctor =

A WARM BLAZE.
Fra in John Harper's Restaurant Causes Loss
Estimated al S752.

An alarm of fire was rung in about
$50 saturday morning, from box go.
near the railroad bridge on upper Wa
ter street. The occasion was a fire in
the wooden building at las Water

comb and occupied by John Harper as
a public dining hall.
on Saturday morning. Mr.. Harper
rose az . O'Clock, built a fire and went
about his work. He was expecting to
ieaNe Tor a vacation in n short time
and therefore was up a little earlier
than usual in order to get things ready
for his absence. He was working in
the dining room when he discovered
fire. His first thought was of his wife
who was in an up stairs apartment.
Rushing up he found the room filed
with smoke and his wife nearly over
come He carried her out by means of
rear door, barely escaping from the
flames. which were spreading at an ex-
tremely rapid rate. At the rear door
he was met by Officer Edwin l.. White
who had discovered the blaze. Mr..
White took the woman and carried her
to neighboring house where she was
'dIeu loi. Inc OlHer occupants OF the
building were the employees of Mr.
Harper in the restaurant. and these
too, barely escaped from the fire
Upon the arrival of the firemen four
streams Of water were thrown upon
the fire. The building is sheathed large
" with canvas, which is papered over,
making a veritable finder box. Conse-
quently the fire spread through the en-
tire building and out into n shed in the
rear. The shed was almost completely
destroyed and the entire interior of the
main building was ruined, despite the
fremen.
MIR Harper's furniture was almost
total loss, the damage being estimated
at about $500. He carried an insurance
of $500 on this. Mr.. Harper also lost
S152 in cash which was in the pocket Of
a coat hanging in closet in the Sec
end story Of the building.
The loss on the building is estimated
at about $500. Mr.. Titcomb carried no
insurance upon the building.
