THE GENUINE VS. COUNTERFEITS

The genuine is always better than a counterfeit, but the truth of this state ment is never more forcibly realized or more thoroughly appreciated than when you compare the genuine De- Witt's Witch Hazel Salve with the many commercials and worthless sub- stitutes that are on the market. w. S. Ledbetter of Shreveport, La., says: "After using numerous other remedies without benefit, one box of De Witt's Witch Hazel. salve ;cured me-" For blind, bleeding, itching and protrud- ing piles no remedy is equal to De Witt's Witch Hazel salve.

The Value
 of a HOUSe

Depends wholly on Its appearance. A house that is allowed to go several years without painting deteriorates in value each year the amount it would cost to paint it.
 The cost of painting your house is deter mined by the material you use. If you want the most expensive Paint, use those made with water, benzine and soap mixtures.
 If you want the most economical Paint use Masury's House Points. They are cheapest, because they wear the longest. They wear longest, becaute they are made with linseed oil, best pigments and experience of over fifty years.
