Letter to Brooks & Berry.
Montpelier, VT.


Dear Sir, Perhaps you "won't have any,
thing to do with Mixed Paints We
don't blame you; but Devoe lead and
zinc is not Mixed Paint; there is twice
as much paint in a gallon of it as there
is in gallon of some of the Mixed
Paints. N. Avery, Delhi, N. Y, owns ,
houses exactly alike-Painted one with
Mixed Paint-took II gallons. Painted
the other with Devoe; bought II gallons
had six gallons left.
1t has taken a great many years to find
out the best; and it takes a lot of machin-
cry to grind it properly.
More than 1000 years, men painted
with lead, and more than 200 with lin
seed oil. About 80 years ago they be-
gan to use zinc.
AL! painters know lead and oil; most
painters know lead and oil with zinc
mixed init improves their paint: wears
longer does not chalk or powder off so
soon. One-thrd more zinc than lead is
used in this country.
But painters don't know how much zinc
to put in; and zinc is hard to mix-needs
grinding in-and they can't grind it in.
Still, nobody uses lead without zinc.
who knows his business.
Yours truly,
F. w. DEvoE & Co.
Abbott & Bailey sell onr paint.

FATAL ACCIDENT

Furio Geniglo, an Italian who had
been in Barre only three months, was
fatally injured Sunday afternoon
He was on board the three O'Clock
electric bound for Montpelier. The
wind blew his hat from his head and
he jumped from the car which was
going at the usual rate of speed.
Geniglo evidently did not realize the
danger of such jump. He was
thrown violently to the ground and
his skull was fractured. He was tax
en- to the Emergency hospital where he
died at four O'Clock Monday morning
without regaining consciousness.
No possible blame attaches to the
electric road or its employees for the
accident, Geniglo jumped from the
car without even asking the conductor
to stop and before the speed had been
slackened He was at once given the
best of medical treatment, but the
case was hopeless, from the first. So
far as can be learned the injured man
had no relatives in this country.

PUMPING WATER FROM FEDERAL BUILDING
FOUNDATION

The government authorities are hav-
nag much more trouble than they anti
cipated in putting in a foundation 'or
the federal building at the corner of
Main and Market streets, The flow is
large and constant and requires the
ceaseless working Of a pumping ap.
paratus TO keep the excavation from
filling up.
This was the fear that many citizens
had at the time the selection Of site
was before the authorities at Washing

ton in question was In low ground,
