LETTER TOl. H. LAFLEuR.
MIDDLEBURY, VERMONT.

Dear Sir: AS your business is to get
people into and out of trouble, suppose
you consider their paint it makes em
almost as much trouble as money, ex-
cept of course matrimony.
They buy poor paint a good deal, they
don't mean to; they don't know any
better; they buy without thinking. Bad
paint isn't good 1t looks good-enough
for a year; then begins to get rusty;
but changes so slowly, one don't notice
it.
Looking isn't all. The business of
paint is to keep house dry inside the
wood and iron of it; keep 1t from rottlng
and rusting. Takes good paint to do
it.
Good and bad paint are sold at one
price or about that. One can't 90 by the
price at all; as with lawyers, the price
has nothing to do with goodness or bad
ness; the costs are worse yet; the
painter and sheriff come-in for their
share.
But the probability is that man, who
paints Devoe, will come-out on top.
Yours truly

Special Price Offer on Popular Remedy
ut NJ. II. Burt's.
In these days of increased cost for
nearly all the necessaries of life, it is
particularly pleasing to find chance to
get what is of greater value than all else,
Health, for trifling sum.
NJ, R. Burt the popular druggist,
through a special arrangement he has
made with the DR.. Howard Co., is able
to sell the regular 80 cent size of their
celebrated specific for the cure of consti-
patton and dyspepsia, at half price, %
cents. AS each bottle contains 60 doses,
this makes the cost less than half cent
dose.
Yet economy is not the chief reason
for using DR. Towards specific. No
other medicine for the cure of constipa-
ton and dyspepsia has made so many
remarkable cures, and given such uni
versal satisfaction.
So confident is Mr.. Burt that the
specific will do all that is claimed for il
that he sells it on his own personal
guarantee to refund the money if it does
not cure. Out of the hundreds of pack,
ages he has sold, only two customers
have asked to have their money re-
funded. He will continue to sell the
remedy in this way, and wants the
Register to tell its readers that DR.

unless it cures. Even then, the cost il
less than half cent a dose, about q
cents for months treatment.

That II IL possible to commit suicide
by simply holding ones breath has
been clearly proved by respondent
Norwegian, who killed himself in this
very unusual manner. When he deter
mined to die he closed his mouth and
nostrils and by mere force OF will pre-
vented his lungs from doing their prop

This case Is the more remarkable az
there has long been popular notion
that no human being could by mere

for more than one or two minutes. For
this reason II attracted much attention,
and French writer, commenting on Il.
says:
ITO persons OF good taste who are
weary Of life this method OF commit

because the act can be committed In

that sensitive or nervous persons will
