Dear Sir: A few years ago, a New

passed the law, and the people liked
it, of course, till the bills came-in.
The bills were bigger, not less; the
law didn't say what the gas should be

paint is Sits; but there's paint"
all the way from 35 cents to $1.75. A
popular price is s1.25; there are
scores of paints" at that price. Like
dollar gas.
If $1.75 is the price of a gallon of
honest paint, you may be quite sure
there are scores of paints" at all
prices from that down, with paint
enough in them to pass for paiut.And
what are you going to do about it?
