Lecturers often say startling things

Freight Rates go up.

The advance in wages made by
the Pennsylvania and to be made
by the Reading and other railroads
will soon be followed by an increase
in freight rates. An inability OF
the roads in this state to handle the
business offered to them has doubt
less had something to do with this
decision. The freight rate advance
will, it is asserted, suffice to pay
tor the increase in wages.

whom he had recommended the medi-

Dr. Frederick was called at that time

there was no indication on the previous

Letter to c. Hichborn,

Dear Sir: Most painters insist that
lead and oil is 80 for three years; but
they also insist that it needs going
over again in three years. It is as
much as to say its good job Of paini
that lasts three years.
Which is true; and better that lasts
six years. Lead and oil lasts three;
Devoe lead and zinc lasts six.
When a paint begins to let in water
then is the time to repaint. 1t may be
one year; it may be ten. Lead and oil
lasts three, if well put on; lead AMI
zine lasts six if ground together and
well put on. But painters are better
acquainted with lead than with zinc.
Zinc is newer.
Devoe lead and zinc is the proper
mixture, ground in oil by machinery;
same proportions as used by the u. S.
government. Yours truly,
