Spelling reformers should bear In mind the history of asparagus, which shows how, even in the days of diction- aries, word fashions change. In the eighteenth century, even in elegant usage, the delicacy was regularly call ed sparrow grass" A dictionary Of 1791 says that sparrow grass" Is now so general that asparagus" has an air of stiffness and pedantry. "Sperage had been the usual English form Tn the sixteenth century, but in the sev- enteenth herbalists brought back the original Greek and Latin spelling "as- paragus" Pepys varies between spar row grass" asparagus" and "spara- gue." No doubt the eighteenth century relapse was the last, and the "a is back for good now.

LETTER TOJ NJ GRIFFIN
Fredericksburg Va.

Dear Sir: The cheapest thing in the
way of sending anything over the worlC
is a postage stamp; and the cheapest
wav to shed water is paint
Not whitewash; paint. Do you hap
Den to know-it don't belong to your
business to know about paint, you
know-do you happen to know that
most of the makers OF paint stuff it out
with lime and clay and sand and water
and air?
They do stuff it out in the can; but not
on the house. They make more gallons
to sell or TO buy; more money TO pay for
paint: more money to pay for putting it
on: a good deal more money to pay for
putting it on; but no more beauty; more
rust; decay; disappointment; loss.
Deyoe is your paint, because it's oil
paint, no sham. and full-measure.
Yours truly
