Letter to JnO. N. NeWcOmb
Wildwood. N. i.

Dear Sir: There's twice as much
horse in one horse-it may be a mare
as there is in two or three others to-
gether.
So with paints, too. If a painter can
do your job with 10 gallons Devoe for
$50, it'll take II, 10 or 20 of other
paints; and the cost of a job is about
S5 gallon, whatever the paint may
be.
There are paints aduIterated three.
quarters-only one quart of paint in a
gallon-he's got to paint four gallons
of rubbish to get one gallon of paint
The worst horse you've got is as good
as that paint, and he'll go as far.
The less-gallons paint is the paint, as
the most-horse horse is the horse.
Yours truly
f. w. DEvoE q Co.
New York
p. S.-Wildwood Hardware and
Paint Co. sell our paint.

He was dragged sew eral hundred yards through the field and into the woods in the sight of his father who was utterly helpless. When the mule was finally captured the boy who was literally battered to a pulp was dead.

Last Word to the Public
 Your One Great Chance
Read This Little Story Through to the End. It May Be the Means
 of Making Your Fortune.
This is the story of an opportunity.

This is the story of an opportunity.
 It is intended to point a moral.
 You are counseled to read 1t care fully, to digest 1t and to remember it.
 One week ago we began to adver- tise in the city of Montgomery series of lectures and demonstrations of the Marconi system.
 Our object in coming here was to ex- hfbit to you the practical working capacity of the Marconi Wireless Tele- graph system, with the expectation that we would be able to interest you in the stock of the company as an invest ment.
 The time for our departure from the city having now arrived we desire to say to the people of Montgomery that we have presented you an opportunity to lay the foundation of fortune by tho purchase of the shares that we have offered you at $500 each.
 Many of you have rejected that op- portunity, many have embraced 1t and many others are in that state of in- decision which ever prevails with the timid man.
 We have chosen to talk to you through the medium of your news papers, because in that way we can secure a larger and more attentive audience than in any other; some peo- pie have cited this as a reason for not investing, because they consider it so unusual and so undignified to adver- tise.
 We believe the day has arrived when all men must recognize the great truth that the best and most economical method and at the same time the most honorable method of selling anything is by means of newspaper advertis- ing.
 Our announcement made to you through the medium of the press have all borne our signature; we are re- eponsible for every word that has been printed; we can be held accountable for every departure from the strict truth and our advertisements are therefore your greatest guaranty.
 In the ordinary method Of stock company promotion. Irresponsible ver- bal representations often influence the purchaser of shares: prodigal prom ises are orally made, but the printed and written representations are ex- tremely conservative; we plainly tell to the world what we have to offer through the medium of the newspapers and we hold ourselves to strict &C., countability for every word they con- tain.
 We will give you one more chance to avail yourselves of this, the great est oportunity since the Bell Tele- phone was financed.
 Today and tonight we give positively our last public demonstration at the Exchange Hotel. MT. T. L. Jones. our local representative, will be present to welcome you As he will probably call on you later. you will want to see the wireless at work before we leave. We believe that within few years this stock will be selling at from s10o to s20o share. and we believe that the dividends that win be earned and paid will justify an even higher price.
 Tn conclusion. and In parting we de- sire to add:
 Those of you who have been doubters and sceptics; those who have sneer- cd and laughed: we want you to cut

T VERY serious Sickness has H small beginning. And. in nine cases out of < ten that small beginning is made in the Bowels.
 Indigestion is the beginning of most diseases.
 It paves tho way for all others.
 Lack of exercise, nasty eating, improper food. arc its first causes.
 Laziness. and postponement. permits it to grow into Chronic Constipation, which means lifelong Discomfort. It isn't necessary to be sick-a-bed. you know, in order to be mighty uncom- fortable.
 Even slight indigestion affects the nerves. dulls the mind, and obscures the merry sunshine of Life.
 And, Indigestion once started. grows fast, corrodes temperament, and discounts happiness, good cheer, capacity.
 It does that long before it puts you on the Sick list.
 Every thinking Doctor knows why.
 Professor Rand knew 1t.
 That's why he framed up for students his famous formula for Happiness. viz: :. Trust in God, and keep your Bowels open"
 Tho Bowels need adjustment from time 10 lime, just like clock, or watch.
 No Good time" is humanly possible without this.
 And, the time to adjust tho watch Is not when 1t has run down. nor when the main spring is broken, but at inc very minute adjustments is discovered necessary. Tho time to adjust the Bowels Is not merely when your Head Aches, when your Liver is Sick, your Stomach in Revolt. and Natures Food Process retarded for 24 hours or longer.
 The proper time to adjust them Is the very minute you suspect they need adjust mcnt.
