Letter TO C. r. D. Burns, WaIhaIIa.

Dear Sir: Lead-and- oil is not good
paint; don't wear; the rule is, as every
one knows, repaint in three years.
Devoe lasts six, in the same way-al-
low wide margin in all such statements.
What does it mean, to last? 1t means
the same with both.
AS to covering: that's another Here's
an instance.
Mr.. j. j. Hall, Sheffield, Pa, painted
two houses, lead-and- oil; took 40 gallons
Last summer bought 40 gallons Devoe
for the same two houses; returned 10
gallons.
The paint, that covers, lasts; it's all
paint, true paint, and full measure.
Lead-andoil is all paint but not good
paint; the lead wants zinc. Better paint
Devoe. Yours truly,
Is Il. w. Devoe e. Co.

Death Of Ears. Mary Howe.

The news of the death of Mrs. Mary
Howe, which occurred at Cashiers Val
ley, N. O., last Sunday morning, was the
source of much sorrow in Walhalla
when received here Monday morning.
Mrs. Howe was daughter of the late
Bishop Hugh Miller Thompson, of Mis-
sissippi. During number of years past
the family have made their home during
the summer at Cashiers Valley, passing
through Walhalla and making warm
friends among our people. Mrs. Howe
was an excellent lady, devout Chris
tian, and her life, though comparatively
short, was largely spent in deeds calcu-
lated to give cheer and comfort to those
with whom she was acquainted. She
was about So years of age. The be-
reaved relatives have the sympathy of a
wide circle of friends in this and other
States in their hour of sorrow. The re-
mains were brought to Walhalla to-day
and shipped to Kenosha, Wis, the old
home town of Bishop Thompson, for
burial.

When the butter won't
come put penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
|
cause it is SO perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat

Vienna, Sept. 30.-The Car, accompan

by Emperor Francis Joseph and the arch

enormous crowds of people.
The arrival of the Car here today was
not marked by the same popular enthus

King Edward and Emperor William This
was probably due to the military and po
lice precautions, as both sides of the
streets were lined with infantry, cavalry

soldiers was thick line of police, facing
the populace.

OF Lord George Hamilton ana Mr.. Richie

opposition TO Mr.. Chamberlain's protec-

Lord George Hamilton expresses the be-
lief that the greatest danger to British
industries arises from the economical and
scientific methods of production winch
their foreign rivals are introducing into
the manufacture of articles in which
Great Britain was formerly superior. He
says:
THE Board of Trade returns for the
last three years demonstrate that the
springs and sources of our prosperity and
commerce are undiminished and respon-
sive. | cannot be a party to reversal
o. the fiscal policy which believe great
ly contributed to build up the fabric of
the prosperity"
London, Oct. 1.-Mr. Chamberlain con
tributed to the Daily Telegraph this morn
ing letter which is intended to serve as
a preface to the republication in book
form of a series of articles which have
appeared in the Daily Telegraph, on the
fiscal problem. The letter, however, is
practically a complete exposition of his

the corporation who have subscribed fol-
preferred stock, saying, 1.-THE Finance
Committee sees no reason to change its
opinion as to the intrinsic value of the
preferred stock subscribed for, but of
course it recognizes that the decline in the
market or selling price naturally may oc-
casion anxiety in the minds of the sub
scribers under the circular Accordingly
it deems it proper now to dispel appre--
hension of loss by the following additional
offer or guarantee:
The corporation will, at any time dur
ing January on February, 1908, pay to
every subscribing officer and employee who
shall have retained this stock for the full
period of five years $3.50 per share for
the stock, les: the rebates and benefits
he shall have been entitled to, provided he
wishes to sell the stock for that price at
that time
