SPIRIT OF THE PRESS
FACTS AND OPINIONS GATHERED
FROM CONTEMPORARIES
SYNONYMS FOR DRUNK.

An enterprising New York newspaper
recently brought together a list of
synonyms of the word drunk in use in
different parts of the country. AS it is
recalled the number was well toward
haf-a-hundred all told. If Montpeier's
experience is to be repeated elsewhere
such a list would be a valuable asset for
Vermont newspaper men, inasmuch as
it would aid in giving variety to the
re Jort of current events which otherwise
must of necessity be rather monotonous

LETTER TOT. L. SHACKETT.
MIDDLEBURY, VT.

MlDDLEBuRI, VT.
Dear Sir: Porterhouse, so much; neck,
so much; all the way between.
Just so with paint. Devoe Lead and
Zinc is the porterhouse. Nobody wants
the neck; the between, some say, is good
enough for them.
But Devoe costs less, not more. than
between. Lead and oil is between; it is
the old-fashion paint. But Zinc has
come in. Zinc toughens white lead.
Devoe Lead and Zinc is the paint.
Mr.. John n. Detel Fair Haven, n. Y,
writes:
Mr.. Charles Hollenbeck, of this place,
painted his house three years ago with
Devoe Lead and Zinc; his father painted
at the same time with lead and oil. To
day the sons house looks as well as the
day it was painted. while the fathers
house has all chalked off and needs paint
ing very badly. The father says he will
paint with Devoe next time.
Yours truly,
+. w. Devoe & Co.
New York.
