Letter to Yor<ville Painters.
Yorkyille, s G.,


Dear Sirs: Here's something every
painter. and builder ought to know.
Mr. ] Hall, Sheffield, Pa, painted two
houses, years ago, lead-and- oil; took
40 gallons. Last year, he painted De-
voc: bought 40 gallons; had 10 left.
He Is one. of thousands. The know
ledge is getting about pretty generally
that Devoe goes further than anything
else.
Have you found it out in your own
experience?
How much further?
Suppose a job amounts to 10000
square feet; how much less Devoe
could you buy?
Is II as easy to paint? Does 1t cost
any more or less to put-on by the gal
lon than anything else? how much?
II 1t costs no more to put-on Devoe
by the gallon, 1t costs less by the foot
you know: for the gallon does more
feet. How much less. do you find It.
for wages?
Lasts, say, twice as long; that Is the
owners gain; but perhaps you reckon
II yours: some do. The time, when
that comes-in, Is when he goes-out
the next job.
Who gets it? Yours truly

Power Of PRAYER

Rev. P. G. Elsom, who conducted a
revival at the Baptist church here
several years ago, and who is well
known to Reidsville people, is a firm
believer in prayers, and those who
agree with him will not be surprised
to hear of this incident.
Mr.. Elsom went to the ticket ONCE
al Danville and called for ticket to
Franklin Junction. The agent polite
ly informed him that all but the fast
train had departed and that 1t would
be impossible for that train to stop
there. Mr.. Elsom told him that he
was assisting in revival and had
an appointment for O'Clock that af.
ternoon at Franklin junction.
His persuasive powers were of no
avail to the ticket agent, but when
No. SO pulled out of Danyille 1t con-
tanned Rev. Mr. Elsom as a passenger.
who. when the train was leaving the
city, fell upon his knees and began to
pray. AS soon as he completed his
prayer he arose and peeped out OF
the window to find that the train had
come to a standstill just opposite the
place at which he had an appoint
ment. 1t was learned that the train
was stopped on account of a hot box.

large bodies of troops along his line of
march and to detach forces to threat

At the battle of Borodino Sept. 7. one
of the bloodiest in history, the losses
probably aggregated 10000 on each
side. The loss to Napoleon, who could
get no reinforcements, was fatal.
But still he pressed on and entered
MOSCOW, Sept. Ia, to find himself

the terrible conflagration which broke

Millions Living in Poverty

According to Robert Hunter, whose
recent book on Poverty" the result
OF several years experience in char
ity and settlement work In Chicago
and New York, has attracted much at
tention, at least ten million persons in
the United States are living in con.
dition of acute poverty.
Mr.. Hunter applies the word power
ty to those who may be able to get a
bare sustenance, but who are not able
to obtain those neeessaries that will
permit them to maintain a state of
physical efficiency" Only the most
miserable of them are starving or de-
pendent upon charity. Mr. Hunter, in
his work, says that the total number
of paupers in the United States In
1891 was about 100000, and he be-
lieves that In the last fourteen years
the number of paupers has increased
to 100000.
He bases his figures on the returns
from almshouses and on figures sup
piled by the Charity Organization So

adds that in 1899 more than IS per

For Growing Girls.

West Pembroke. Me-, April a.
Mrs. A. l.. Smith. of this place, says
that Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best
remedy for growing girls. Mrs. Smith
emphasizes her recommendation by
the following experiences:
my daughter was thirteen years old
last November and 1t is now two years
since she was first taken with Crazy
Spells that would last a week and
would then pass Off. In a month she
would have the spells again. At these
times she would eat very little and
was very yellow; even the whites Of
her eyes would be yellow.
The doctors gave us no encourage
ment, they all said they could not help
her. After taking one box of Dodd's
Kidney Pills, she has not had one bad
spell. OF course, we continued the
treatment until she had used In all
about dozen boxes, and we still give
them to her occasionally, when she is
not feeling well. Dodd's Kidney Pills
are certainly the best medicine for
growing girls"
Mothers should heed the advice OF
Mrs. Smith, for by SO doing, they may
save their daughters much pain and
sickness al ensure a healthy. happy
future for them,

The remainder of the retreat OF Ma
poleon's army has no parallel In his
tory for the various sufferings and hor-
rors undergone. In November by the
time he had reached the Berezina, his
army had dwindled to 10000 men. In
the retreat from Moscow alone 10000
had been lost In the whole campaign
some historians have estimated that
$4,000 had been slain, $4,000 died of
fatigue and hunger and cold and 1884,
900 were made prisoners. Napoleon
was now reinforced by $4,000 men,
and he made his way across the Bere-
zina, thus escaping total ruin and cap
tivity.
1t was a miserable throng which, on
the evening OF Dec. 6, like a crowd of
beggars, tottered into Wilma. the old
capital of Lithuania. In all nearly $780,

cent of the people in Boston were in
distress; that IA per cent of the fam
lilies of Manhattan were evicted, and
that every year about 10 per cent OF
those who die In Manhattan have pau

He adds: THE most conservative
estimate that can fairly be made of
the distress existing in the industrial
states is IA per cent of the total popu-
lation, while in all probability no less
than 20 per cent of the people In these
states, in ordinarily prosperous years,
are In poverty. This brings us to the
conclusion that one-fifth, or 100000,
persons in the states of New York,
Massachusetts,, Connecticut, New Jer-
sey, Pennsylvania. Ohio, Illinois, Indi-
ana and Michigan are in poverty. TAX
ing half OF this percentage and apply
ing 1t to other states. many of which

are sold in every drug store in the
