DearSir: You understand chemistry;
how'd you like to earn $1,000?
DevOe lead-and-Zinc-thats the
name of our paint that takes fewer gal
Ions than mixed paintand wears twice
as long as lead-and-oil-is made Of
white lead, white zinc, its color, tur-
pentine dryer, and linseed oil.
If any chemist finds any adultera-
ton in this paint we'll pay his bill and
81 900 besides.
It's nobody's business what we put
in our paint, of course; but we want 1t
known. For lead-and-zinc and lin
seed oil, ground togetherby machinery,
are the stuff to paint with; and lead
and-oil mixed by hand is not.
We want it known that one word de
scribes the best paint in theworld and
that word Is Deyoe.
Yours truly

Death Of Mrs. Bradshaw.

Mrs. PAMELA Agnes Bradshaw died
at the home Of her husband, Mr.. A. q.
Bradshaw, on the morning Of the 2nd
inst, after severe illness Of a few
weeks. She had just entered her forty
eight year. When quite young she
gave her heart to God, and from that
time lived for Jesus. When death
came she was prepared for the sum-
mons, and peacefully passed to her re-
ward In Heaven.
Mrs. Bradshaw was always dutiful TO
her church, as far AZ she could be, and
no less 80 to the missionary and the
Ladies Aid Societies. Her last act was
to prove her interestin the Aid Society.
What she could do was done cheerful
ly and willingly. How she will be
missed IN the church and its varied in
terests
She was a faithful and devoted wife,
helpful always to her husband, and
delighting in making the home attrac-
tive for the family. She was tender,
loving and ever faithful mother, and
has left an example of patience and
constancy that will ever be stimulat-
ing to her devoted children. What a
legacy Of trust In God and we'll doing
she has left them for their comfort and
imitation in life's pilgrimage!
As a friend she was true and con-
slant, as a neighbor she tried to do her
duty to all. She leaves husband and
six children TO mourn their great loss.
What loss May the grace Of God
sustain them, and the presence Of the
Holy Spirit ever help and comfort them.
In the truest sympathy We sorrow
with them. PASTOR.

"Let The Sigh of the Prisoner Come Be

Editor Heraid:-I rarely hear a
prayer in family circles or in public
worship in which prisoners are men
toned, and l am constantly reminded
when the omission occurs in my pres
ence that David prayed, "lett the sigh OF
prisoner come before thee" Surely If
the sick and the sorrowing Of earth
are worthy subjects Of prayer, those be-
hind prison bars are too. Alas, alas
when the jail doors close on fellow
mortal it is we'll nigh as though the
grave had become the home. The
wonder to me is that we don't think
more Of prisoners, and do more for
them. Praying people should at least
remember them. A. q D.

AGAINST THE PUBLIC INTEREST,
overzeaIous Reformers Work for Law
Against Proprietary Medicines.

against proprietary Medicines.
Schemes to diminish or destroy
the sale of proprietary medicines are
constantly being devised by interested
parties. Every now and then some
jealous reformer comes to the front
with the demand for a law to require
every package of proprietary medi-
cine to be labeled with aprinted
statement of the formula showing
just how it is manufactured. The mil
lions Of people who use proprietary,
medicines seem to be satisfied; but
the man with a mania for regulating
the affairs of other people or who a
some personal interest to serve is
the n who agitates the proposition.
To a person who has v X
time to consider it, such a proposition
may seem reasonable enough; yet 1t
is in fact nothing more nor less than
a scheme to compel the manufacture
ers to put their trade throughout the
entire country at the mercy Of every
commercial pirate who might choose
to flood the market with limitations of
their goods.
Unuer SuCn COnulllOuS tue InCen'
tive for the original manufacturer TO
advertise his goods would be practi-
cally destroyed, for the money spent
on advertising would inure mainly to
the benefit of the pirates and imita-
tors. Without advertising, the public
would receive little information in
regard to the medicine, and all future
sales would be greatly impaired If
not wholly destroyed. 1t is mainly by
judicious advertising that the knowl-
edge Of proprietary medicines is
brought to the public. Nothing is
more certain than that millions Of peo-
pie have found relief at a compare
lively small expense by the use OF
some remedy first called to their
notice through newspaper advertising
Why, then, should the manufacturer
of a m]eritorious proprietary remedy
be compelled by law to practically
destroy his business as a condition of
being allowed to carry it on? Yet
that is exactly what these formula
bills mean.-EXchange.
