the trench. The man was almost
strangled and no one in the crowd that
rapidly gathered knew just what to
do in the emergency. But Mr.. Behns
did. Showing aside the crowd he shout
ed for room. and sent some one for
brandy. Unbuttoning the shirt of the
unconscious man he proceeded to rub

lungs of the victim. He used heroic
massage for several minutes before
the man showed signs of life, and con-
tinued il until he was fully restored

LETTER TO WILLIS NJ. CADY
MIDDLEBURY. VERMONT.

Dear Sir: You ask how many square
feet a gallon will cover. Depends on con-
dition of building
There is great deal of lying on this
point. The stock claim of lying paints is
300 square feet, two coats. It's lie, as a
rule.
Devoe covers 300 to 500, our agents
think. We think 300 too low and 500 too
high; though doubtless, they both occur.
How much the other paints cover is
equally doubtful; we guess 100 to 400.
The truth is found in another cOmpar-
ison. Devoe is all paint, true paint, strong
paint, and full-measure; the others in
general are, at the best, diluted, adulter-
ated and short measure. They cover
according to body and measure. You
can't paint with clay lime chalk sand
barytes water or air-no body in them.
Go by Devoe.
Yours truly
f. w. DEvOE &!CO.
P. S. A. Calhoun e Son sell our paint.
