Letter to ". A. HumeS,
Milford, Del.

Dear Sir: The easiest way we know
Of to make little money is-if you're
going to paint-tO paint with the paint
that takes least gallons.
Take a small job say it takes 10 gal.
Ions Devoe, two coats that's an aver
age house. When the job is done and
the bill cOmes.in, it is $50; the paint
etc $3.50 the rest is for labor and cart
age +; the labor is fixing the surface,
shifting ladders scaffolds pHlleys and
ropes, and brushing-On paint.
Take another job like that; try an.
other paint; it takes 12-gallon. The
bill is $40 more. Take another exactly
the same; another paint; it takes 20
gallons. The bill is 500.
There is only one DevOe there's a
dozen 12-gallOn paints, and 100 that
take 20 gallons to cover 1O-gallon job
The only difficulty is in finding.eut
Devoe. After that you save work
there's less work in 10 than in u or 20
gallons; less paint to buy and less to
brush.on and less wages to pay.
IfDevoe were only a little better than
others, theEe'd be some difficulty in
the difference. 1t goes
twice as far as half the paints that
ought to be easy,
It wears longer too. You'll wait a
good while, if you wait to find-out how |
ong it wears there are thousands Of
people who know that the least gallons
paint wears longest.

Kidney Pills have proven to be all that
is claimed for them in my family, my
daughter now sixteen years old, had
kidney complaint from infancy. The
doctors seemed to be unable to afford
any relief. AS she grew older the dis
ease manifested itself by weakness and
pains through the back and sides,
headaches, weary lsnguid feelings. loss
of appetite, she became emaciated, had
disturbed dreams, and was susceptible
to every change in the weather and
also any little over.exertion reported
itself in her back and kidneys. After
treating with doctors and using many
advertised kidney medicines, 1 got
box Of Doan's Kidney Pills at a drug
store. She began taking them and in
a few days stopped complaining of
pains through her kidneys and back.
1 noticed that her sleep appeared to do
her more good, less restless at night,
did not appear TO dream and awake so
much. had her continue their use
for over a year and used a number Of
boxes. The headache left her, appetite
was good, she gained flesh and strength
not only in her back but all through
her body, and with it all more vigor.
GUS spirit Of healthfulness prevailed.
I attribute the cure entirely to Doan's
Kidney Pills. My son also suffered with
his kidneys, had him take them and
they cured him. You are at liberty to

any one to me and 1 will tell them
