LETTER TO CHAs. r. RICH.
MIDDLEBURY, VERMONT.

Dear Sir: at costs as mnch to put-on
poor paint as good"-a common saying
and true-it costs much more to put on
poor paint; more gallons.
Poor paint is paint and barytes or
paint and sand or paint and lime or
paint and chalk or paint and benzine or
paint and water; these are the usual
cheats there are others.
1t takes more gallons of panhandle
cheat than of honest paint; and the cost
of the labor of painting is SO much a
gallon-One gallon costs as much as
another, for labor.
This is the way to reckon your cost
for this year; but how about next
year:
Paint Devoe and next year costs moth
ing; year after next the same; the same
for several years.
Paint anything else, and your costs
recur according to what you paint-with.
Some of the mixtures wear one year
some two: some three.
il costs twice. three times. four times
five times, as much to paint with Il chclt
rs 10 paint with DeVue.
Yours truly
f. w. DEvOE e Co.

HYOMEI A RECORD BREAKER,


Novel Method of Curing Catarrh. Sold
On Approval by w. II. sheldon.
The popularity and remarkable sales
of Hyomei have broken all records. In
nearly every city and town in the
country, this guaranteed cure for catarrh
has given most astonishing results.
The leading druggists are so enthus-
iastic over the remarkable percentage of
cures following the use of Hyomei, that
with hardly an exception, they adver-
tise to their customers that Hyomei will
be sold with the understanding that it
costs nothing unless it cures.
In Middlebury w. H. Sheldon is en-
dorsing it and guaranteeing to refund
the money unless Hyomei cures catarrh.
He has sold great many Hyomei out
fits, and today, no other treatment for
the cure of catarrh has as many friends
in Middlebury and vicinity as Hyomei.
1t is a scientific, yet common sense
method of treating and curing this toe
common disease. 1t sends by direct
inhalation to every cell of the air pas.

balsamic air that destroys all catarrhal
germs, purifies the blood with additional
ozone, and makes a complete and lasting
cure of any catarrhal trouble.
The complete outfit costs but 81, and
includes an inhaler, medicine droppel
and sufficient Hyomei for several weeks
treatment.
You take no risk in buying Hyomei
w. H. Sheldon positively guarantees tc

FILLS OUT THIN CHEEKS.
"Mi-o-na the Only Natural Way to Gain
Firm, Solid Flesh" says Druggist
W. IL. sheldon.

There are altogether too many pale,
thin and emaciated people who mani
testify do not have the proper weight.
The last two years, pale, thin people
have increased in numbers rapidly.
Emaciated faces and general thinness
can be overcome by the use of Mi-o-na,
the flesh forming food, that Druggist
w. II. Sheldon is selling in such large
quantities, You who have thin, pale
cheeks can be fat, plump, strong,
healthy, with the rosy glow Of health if
you will but use Mona.
w. II. Sheldon, one of the most reli-
able druggists in this section, is selling
Mona at SOC box under a positive
and absolute guarantee to refund your
money if it does not fill out thin cheeks
and make the user plump, rosy and
healthy.
Mi-o-na does all this in perfectly
natural way. 1t mingles with the food
you eat, aids assimilation, restores the
digestive organs to action and puts the
whole system in proper physical condi-
ton. Those who use Mona do not
risk penny when they buy it. Drug
gist Sheldon will give written guaran-
tee with every box to refund the money
if it does not increase flesh, give freedom
from stomach troubles and restore health
and strength. Go to his store today
and get months treatment to be used
at his risk.

OUR suburban contemporary
suggests that Representative
Simons should vote against the
reelection of Senator Clapp for
the reason that Senator Clapp's
friends in this county were the
only ones who opposed Mr.. ST.
mons at the primaries. The
principle of revenge is noble
one and it's advocacy does the
Sentinel credit. There are some
men in the world. however, who
are honorable enough to keep
their word and tits possible that
Mr.. Simons, despite his associa-
ton with the Sentinel, is one Of
these and that he will vote for
Senator Clapp in January as he
has publicly promised to do.

Only One Moses.

It begins to be apparent that
there is only one Moses so far as
the election of senator in Mime
sofa this winter is concerned and
that he is Moses B. Clapp.
For some time the opposition
to Senator Clapp has been in
search of a Moses to lead them to
victory against the junior sena-
tor, Hennepin county wants the
senatorship and wants it desper-
ately but it realizes that it has no
chance in a straight out fight for
Hennepin man against Senator
Clapp so it is devoting all it's en-
ergies to bringing out a rival ST..
Paul candidate that it may cry
Senator Clapp's weakness to the
state. It seems that the attempt
has signally failed, however, for
every availa BILE Ramsey county
man has announced his fidelity to
the nominee of the party. Fail
ing in the attempt to persuade an
opponent for Senator Clapp from
ST. Paul, the Minneapolis papers
have to be content with vague
stories of disaffection in the
ranks Of the Ramsey county
members of the legislature.
The Pioneer has no particular
prediction for senator Clapp
but it has small J sympathy for
the methods employed by the
Minneapolis newspapers to de-
feat him.

SUBSCRIPTION IS PER YEAR
It's a Poor Rule that Won't
Work Both Ways.


Japan, in it's declaration that
Asia is for Asiastics only, pro
mulgates a principle that the east
and the west will unite in APP
plauding. In fact the west has
for four score years and more
upheld the same principle and
since it's first defining by Presi-
dent Monroe, no nation has dared
dispute it. Japan now declares
that the Monroe doctrine shall
apply to the east as we'll as to the
west; that the nations of Europe
may keep the possessions they
have, but that from this time for
ward they shall possess no more.
It is for his that Japan went to
war and it is for this that the
people of the United States sym
pathize with the Jap rather than
with the Russ. For years the
nations of Europe have been
greedily bbing land the world
over and until the awakening Of
Japan they seem almost certain
to gather in every part and par
Gel of the old world.
The Japanese have demon
strated their right to existence
as a useful and progressive ma
ton, and there are signs of an
awakening in China. Asia for
Asiatics may work as great a
revolution in the east as has
America for Americans in the
west.

but when l was a young mainland a rath-

me into his house, bathed my head, gave

Putting I'm HuckIeberries.

The old-time way Of preserving
huckleberries in molasses for winter
use excels all methods, says the New
York Tribune. The molasses does not
affect the favor of the berries. 1t
would, of course, ruin more delicate
fruit. Huckleberries, being a coarse
skinned fruit, are not injured by being
covered with the molasseS. When
needed, they can be carefully washed
out and Immediately made into pies.
If the berries are kept in a cold place
they will last all winter. Some house
wives add a cup Of vinegar to every
quart of molasses when they put the
berries up for pies. To prepare them,
use firm, large berries that are per-
fectly ripe; rinse carefully, rejecting
the poor fruit and small leaves. Put
them in a stone crock, cover with mo-
iasses and seal up. After setting them
In a cold corner of the cellar do not
disturb them until winter. When the
frosts have come the crock may be
ansealed and the berries used from
time to- time. The BURBERRY does not
keep as we'll in this way as the conf
mon huckleberry, because its skin is
more tender.
