MOUNT Vernon, N. Y,
June 4, 1906
Rev Ralph Danforth,
Newtown, Conn.
My Dear Sir: While looking through
THE BEE, last week, | read witt
much interest your article ION Inter
UNCONVENTIONAL Comfy, and l want tt
tell you how much IN sympathy witt
your suggestion l am. l can see NJ
reason why your suggestion should moi
be acted upon.
am son of veteran, my faJhel
living in the adjoining town of Red
ding. Eighteen years ago l left my
home in Redding and went into bust
ness in your town, occupying the posi-
tiOn of clerk in the store and pOStOtfict
at Hawleyville, Conn.
Every year it is my pleasure to at.
tend special Memorial service, and
presbyterian, Congregational, Dutch
Reformed. IRoman Catholic, Protest.
ant Episcopal, Methodist Episcopal
and Cniversalist, and the only reason
L have not attended such service in
other churches is because there were
no other denominations holding Me-
mortal services.
~~Another matter which is now en-
gaging the attention of all lovers of
Memorial day and it's sacred work is
the almost universal Dissertation of
the day. l am sure you must have
noted the increasing tendency of the
common people to lose sight of the
work for which the day was set apart
and to indulge in all kinds of amuse-
ments. Instead of being a Memorial
day it is simply holiday. Instead of
appropriate Memorial services being
held, you will find most OF the people
at baseball game or some other
sporting event.
1 am advocating the doing away of
Memorial day as it is now observed,
and instead, making the last Sunday
in May Memorial day, when, because
the day would not be secular one,
the people could not indulge in sport,
and then there would be tendency to
give to the day it's proper recognition.
All the people, old and young, should
gather together in the largest house
of worship, with the veterans in the
place of honor, and sermons should be
preached or addresses should be made
which should inStill in the coming
generation the fact of the awful sacri-
ice that was made that our nation
might be preserved.
The teaching Of patriotism I very
much fear, is left almost entirely to
our public schools, though I believe
they are doing it we'll; but they should
not be left to do this work alone. The
entire community should recognize
the sacrifices that have been made,
and in this way we will teach our
youth that theirs is priceless hertz
age.
think know pretty well the spir-
it of some of those old New England
ers who believe that anybody that
does not belong to their particular
''ism" comes pretty nearly being he
terodOx, but 1 am glad that there is
coursing through your veins the good,
rich, red blood of llberality and broad
workmanship, and that you will agi-
tate the matter during the coming
year, and that next year you will be
gratitied by seeing Memorial services,
which shall include all the people of
your community, and that until such
time as Legislation changes the day,
you will do all you possibly can to dis
continue the present tendency to
make the day holiday instead of
holy day.
With great respect believe me,
Yours very truly,

SOMETHING ABOUT PAINT.

The use of slick (rock crystal QUARTZ
specially ground by a peculiar process,
forty years ago was something new.
To-day it is accepted by the best paint
chemists and scientists generally, as
a necessary article in paint to make it
wear we'll. Thousands of dollars are
being expended in advertising the use
of this article in paint, by manufac-
turers. The evidence of the dura-
bility of slick paints has been too
strong to be resisted. Florida is one
of the most severe climates for
paint, and what will stand in Florida
following extracts from a letter Just
received from Mr. F. S. Curl, Deputy
Sheriff of Alachua County, Archer,
Fla.
II am practical painter, and have
been using your Breinig's Lithogen
Silicate Paint for about fifteen years,
so l know pretty we'll what it is. A
large dealer has test job of
the paint of two prominent paint
manufacturers, both being used on
the same building. This paint was
guaranteed to stand five years. I wish
you could see this test job. I have
used both these paints and know what
they are, but when they guarantee
Uucm LUZ live years, WOulu ike w
have them see my own house which I
painted with Breinig's White Silicate
Paint eight years ago, and there is no
break in the paint to-day. Better still,
I painted my neighbours house with
two coats of Breinig's White Silicate
Paint, and repatnted itagain just II
years and one month after, and it was
not in very bad condition when 1
paintedit last. This house had stood
for six or seven years without paint
when first painted it. Now do not
mean to exaggerate about Breinig's
Lithogen Silicate Paint, but 1 have
used about all the best brands of paint
and have never yet found any other
paint that will cover as much wood per
gallon and wear equal to your Silicate
White paint.
"Inasmuch as our paint outwears
all other paints, and furthermore is
the cheapest pure linseed oil paint on
the market, you cannot afford to use
any other.

Give your orders for painting early,
but insist on Breinig'S Lithogen Sill
icate paint being used and applied
properly.

What To Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge SO
often expressed, that DR.. Ki1mer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulflls every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
It corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root
is soon realized. 1t stands the highest
for it's wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need a medicine
you should have the best. Sold by drug
gists in ffty-cent and one-dollar sizes.

One Thing That Wasn't Settled.

Wickliffe Matthews, the San Fran
cisco lawyer, tells the following:
A case came for trial for the re-
covery of rents for the occupation of
the house, which were unpaid. After
the plaintiff had proved his case and
rested, Michael McGrath, attorney for
the defendant, in making his opening
statement to the jury said:
"The defense in this case is, that
the premises are not fit for human
habitation. The house is old and in
poor condition, the posts of the back
porch rotted and the west corner
gone down, the front porch sunk, the
dining room floor lower on one side
than on the other, the roof about to
fall in, and in fact, everything about
the house is old, delapidated and set
tied"
The plaintiffs attorney here inter-
rupted. There is something about
the house that has not settled"
What is that?" asked Mr. McGrath.
Why the defendant has not set
tied for the rent"
And the jury so found.-Green Bag.

cleveland Plain Dealer.)

A man in Oklahoma advertised a
maidstone for sale. He says he will
trade it for improved city property.
He doesn't give any reason for selling,
however, and this looks a little sus-
picious. If he had said that the own
er has no further use for same, or
owner is about to leave town, it would
put good deal better face on the mat
ter. A man doesn't idly offer to trade
genuine 1S-carat maidstone for a
three-story brick apartment house or
stone terrace with stationary wash
tubs. And then, again, how is he go
ing to prove that the stone is really a
simon-pure maidstone? The only thing
he can do to show his good faith is to
go out somewhere and get himself bit
ten by the right kind of dog and then
come back and demonstrate.
No man, not even an Oklahoman, is
gong to calmly yield up choice cor
ner lot, improved or otherwise, for any
alleged maidstone. A maidstone that's
worth any commercial consideration
whatever must have pedigree, and
chronological table, and list of cures
that is certified by the County Clerk.
There are too many geological speci-
mems in Oklahoma and elsewhere that
are not madstones.
