Letter to w. A. Dunn.
Scotland Neck, N. G..

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, except of course matrimony.
They buy poor paint good deal !;
they don't mean to; they don't know
any better; they buy without think
ing. Bad paint isn't good. 1t looks
good enough for a year thea 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 rot
ting and rusting. Takes good paint to
do it.
Good and bad paint are sold at one
price or about that. One can't go by
the price at all as with lawyers, the
price has nothing to do with the good
ness or badness and 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
Is F. w. DEvoE & Co.

There is disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep-
tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by
it-heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure
or apoplexy are often the result Of kidney
disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to ad-
vance the kidney poisoned blood will attack
the vital organs. or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell
Then the richness of the blood-the albumen
leaks out and the sufferer has Bright s
Disease. the worst form Of kidney trouble.
Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root the new dis
covery is the true specific for kidney. bladder
and urinary troubles. 1t has cured thousands
of apparently hopeless cases, after all other
efforts have failed. At druggists in fifty-cent
and dollar sizes. A sample bottle sent free

NEVER OIL FLOORS
Liquid Drags Dirt Into Stained or Var
nished Wood-Wax Best for Polish.

"A floor oiled is floor spoiled de-
clares a man whose business 1t is to
care for parQuetry and stained woods,
and whose word is, therefore. to be
relied upon.
TOO many women go in for oilins
any sort of wood which has been stain
ed and vanished. I don't in the least
mind telling them they are all wrong.
''In moving into q new apartment 1t
is sometimes thought advisable to stain
the floors, If these have not already
been subjected to suea treatment the
process is begun by a thorough scrub
bling with soda. dissolved in hot water.
or with any one of the washing powders
usually employed for such purpos es.
When the floor has dried thoroughly.
the next step is the staining. Stains OF
the desired colors can be had from any
paint shop, and are sometimes better
than mixed and manufactured stains.
Oak or walnut is oftenast used, the
former being made lighter by adding tur-
penttne to the mixture. If very dark
oak stain is wished the dealer Will sup
ply Il
Amateurs do not succeed we'll with FL
iers. and they had best let we'll enough
alone Putty is sometimes used as a
ciaily wide places are visible 1T will be
found to serve very nicely. After the
stain has dried it may be shellacked or
waxed.
The former finish is better unless
one is a housewife built upon New Eng
land lines, ready to have the waxing
attended to with stated regularity and
more than ordinary use of elbow
grease.
Wax is the best Of all floor polishes.
It may be used, and is indeed best
used. without having first applied var
nish, simply being rubbed over the
stained surface. Prepared wax is put
up in cans and looks like pomatum
olive polish. 1t is applied in just the
same way-that is. smeared over the
floor surface. allowed too dry slightly.
and then polished with heavy flannel
cloths or mops, which are to be bought
for the purpose
las for oil. it must never be used on
any floor. 1t does not cleanse. but
carries the dirt and dust into the wood
as 1t becomes absorbed.
IF d shellac surface finish is used,
