The cellar should be ventilated every

is built with special regard to ventila-

GRAFT In Canada.

A writer IN the London periodical,
Nineteenth Century and After, asserts
that bribery and corruption among
officials In Canada are the rule and not
the exception. To quote
Nowhere save among politicians them
selves (and not always among them) 10
sny attempt made 10 conceal the fact that
Canadian politics is corrupt II would
be of little use 10 make the attempt, In
deed. There have been 80 many reyela-
lions of crooked dealing that one might
a. well declare a town TO be healthy
which has an open sewer running through
IT,
80 long as railway companies are In the
thick Of political warfare they will buy
support In parliament II they can. One
hears Of members OF the house OF COM
mons at Ottawa having their election ex-
ponses paid by corporations whose inter
estB they are expected TO advance. The
same system prevails In the United States.
Neither In the States nor In Canada ig
this considered disgraceful Members Of
the imperial parliament are not altogether
without sin In such matters, but the ca
reer OF any N. r. known to BIO In the pay
OF railway company would be quickly
1t an end.
In such ways as these the nation IL
robbed and the standard OF public life de-
graded and far too many are inclined to
regard BwindieB OF this kind merely as
smart business"
Recently the Montreal Gazette de-
clared, every job alleged against the
Russian autocracy has been paralleled
In kind In Canada" This paper says
that the Dominion Is charged 40, 80
and 100 per cent advance on land
bought for government purposes and
that members Of parliament get land
at dollar an acre and sell out to set
tiers at 80 and So an acre. One mem
Der Is charged with crookedness in the
matter OF a government grazing land
lease which he sold out for about 100
times its cost Government inspection
Is farce, and partisan supporters Of
the government are allowed to make
something for themselves at the ex-
pense OF the country" In the same
vein the Daily News-Advertiser Of
Vancouver says, ut cannot be denied
that OF late years decadence has been
visible in Canadian public life" Legis-
lators seek Office to secure emoluments
or other advantages for themselves.
Probably no nation under the sun

at any other nation in this matter Of

the true remedies for the evil, and in

Letter to Elmer Green
Oakland, Nd.

Dear Sir: The easiest way we know of
to make little money is-jf you're go
to paint-to paint with the paint that
takes least gallons.
Take small job; say it takes 10 gal
Ions Devoe, two coats; that an average
house. When the job is done and the
bill comes in, it is $50; the paint, etc,
81 80; the rest is for labor and carriage
the labor is fixing the surface, shifting
ladders scaffolds pulleys and ropes. and
brushing-on paint
Take another job exactly like that;
try another paint; it takes u gallons,
The bill is $40 more. Take another eX-
actly the same; another paint; it takes
20 gallons. The bill is 800.
There is only one Devoe; there's a
dozen l2gallon paints, and 100 that take
20 gallons to cover a 10 gallon job
The only difficulty is in finding ut
Devoe. After that you save work there S
less work in 10 than there are in u or 20
gallons; less paint to buy and less to
brush-on and less wages to pay.
If Devoe were only little better than
others, there'd be some difficulty in
finding out the difference. 1t goes twice
as far as half the paints; that ought
to be easy.
1t wears longer too. You'll wait to
find-out how long it wears; there are
thousands of people who know that the
least-gallons paint wears longest.
Yours truly
