Dear Sir: There are several
ways of cheating in milk. An
old-fashioned way is to water it.
Nobody waters it now. \ better
way is to take out the cream
rich milk with the cream taken
out is rs good as poor milk with
its cream all in.
But we needn't 60 into particu-
lars.
You don't rob your milk and
your customers,
Paint is as easy rs milk to
cheat with. Good paint is us
rare as good milk; for human
nature is much the same in milk
men and paint men.
You are just and true with
your milk so are we with our
paint, Devoe lead-and-zinc is
twice as good as mixed paints :
There's twice as much butter
in it.
Mr. J T Ladd, Cheraw, S G..
writes:
when Mr. Evans painted his house
with Devoe, he figured ON how other

paint three large rooms. He was 50

St Louis Word. s e.. ~
: Better proofs, of the quality of
Japan's civilization than her sue
cess at war are the temperateness
and self-restraint with which tine
japanese people at home have
heard and celebrated the news Of
Japan's victories on land and sea.
Imagine the situation in or.
der to appreciate fully what this
temDerateness and self-restraint
signify.
Here is an island nation in the
Orient which sixty years ago was
III state of semi-barbarsm-at
least, from an occidental point of
view and which until lately was
in measure under the tutelage
of Western powers.
Her quick and impressive sue
cess in the war with China gave
notice to Europe that there was
coming nation, growing mightier
year by year, assertive, ambitious
and intelligent; but Europe re-
marked that Japan had never
COPIED with a power of the first
magnitude, had never met a West
ern, Christian, civilized, modern
people in battle; and Japan's VIC
tory over China was accounted an
easy achievement, signifying
little.
In facing Russia, however. ia
pan faced one of the acknowledged
great powers; the power which
defeated Napoleon; the power
which all of Europe and all Asia
fears; the power whose aggressive
policy is the knot Of the Near
Eastern and Far Eastern ques-
tions; the power which is the
most troublesome quantity with
which diplomatists have to deal
the power which constantly mem
aces Europe, India, Persia and
China. and which IS the bugaboo
of the world.
Any nation would feel natu-
raj nervousness in tackling Russia
and u justifiable exultation on de-
feating the Russian forces signal
ly, day after day, whenever the
hostile armies or the hostile
navies grappled.
But in Japan the rejoicing has
been singularly moderate.
There are jingoes among the
Japanese, as elsewhere, and a
lingo is lingo the world over,
but the body of the people have
distinguished themselves by their
chivalrous bearing toward the foe.
Never has the Russian name
been insulted by Il responsible
speaker at public meetings in
Japan,
Never have the japanese failed
in courtesy toward Russia, 10
kindness toward Russian prison
ers, in respect for Russian dead

The tide goes out; the wharvcs deserted

The tide goes OFT, goes out; the stranded
