Dear Sirs: Tell the owner: 81
paint Devoe, nothing else, unless you
want me to paint something else: I'll
paint whatever you like; it's your
house, not mine; yout job, not mine:
It's mine, if I do it my way; it's
yours, if I do it your way.
sit will cost you less, Devoe; less
gallons to buy and brush-on; less
money for paint, less money for
wages; gallon put-on is about S.;
Devoe will cost less by tenth to a
half, according to what you compare
it with; and wears better, how much
better depends on what you compare
it with-it may be a year, it may be
ten.
''It is my business to know how to
paint as well as to paint; and I do.
You can see my jobs by the Dozen"
That's straight talk. The man who
can talk like that with steady eye,
will have plenty of business; good
business too; and men will stand by
him. Yours truly,

but so great have been the uncertain

have really succumbed to self-hypno.
tlsm or hysteria. The bureau of ami
mai industry In the Department of
Agriculture ut Washington has had this
question under consideration and has
made many experiments ut Its expert
ment station ut Bethesda, Md. Its
chief, DR. \. ID. Melvin, now announces
that he has conclusive proof that such
disease exists and that 1t Is gernrgen.
Grated and infectious. One of the In
stances which DR.. Melvin cites Is that
of dog bitten by another dog. The
bitter died OF rabies. The other dog
was taken away and kept under obser-
walton for two months. II then de-
veloped u well-detned case of the dis
ease, ran amuck and bit n horse and u
COW. The COW was attacked In sixty
days, the horse In about Il hundred
days and both died after showing all
the typical symptoms. DR.. Melvin states
that there are two forms OF the dis,
ease--one of them dumb, the other fu-
rious. In the early stages of the dumb
type II HOg Is dangerous. but In later
stages II is not, as its jaws become
paralyzed. \ dog suffering with the fu-
rious type of rabies Is very dangerous,
The frothiIg ut the mouth Is not II fic-
ton but n real characteristic of this
type, The experience of England
which, through its strictly enforced
quarantine law, has got entirely rid of
rabies and kept free from 1t or many
years, has been sufficient to satisfy
most impartial observers that u gcnu,
Inc disease was in question. The proof
that Is now brought forward by DR.,
Melvin's bureau should put an end to
