ease, and now you, who point with scorn at
morphine using, how could you, when in
such agony, knowing it about the only thing
that would give relief, resist it7 I knew L
was terrible habit and knew Of its deadly
grasp, but I never fully realized its signif.

Oh, the misery of being addicted to such

Letter to Hon. Claude Kitchin.

Dear Sir: Two and two make four
not always; depends upon what sstwo
and two" are.
Two gallons of water and two gallons
OF milk don't make four gallons of milk.
Neither does four gallons of paint
that's half lime, whiting, clay and kero-
sene oil, make four gallons of real psint.
That's what we mean by saving
"Fewer gallons wears longer" It
takes fewer gallons of Dovoe Lead and
Zinc than OF mixed paints to paint a
house, and it wears twice or three times
as long as lead and oil, mixed by hand.
Prowse & Pelton, Herkimer, N. Y,
write:
Mr.. Chas. Avery of Herkimer, bought
81 gallons of Devoe Lead and Zinc to
paint his five houses, his painter hav-
ing figured that it would require at
