when coffee is used habitually, become

WHAT WIFE SAYS "GoES."
eut It Sometimes Is Bad for tho
Painting.

When a property-owner knows moth
ing about paint it is bad for tho
property-owne and bad for the paint
er. 1t would not be so IL the property
owner would always hire skilled
painter, and then really leave every
thing to him. But the house-owner so
often fools himself on one or the other
of these things.
The skilled painter in every commu-
nifty has some of the most incompetent
competitors that ever veXed consci-
entious workman or contractor, and
the incompetents get jobs generally by
working cheap. In the next place,
when the skilled painter is hired, they
do not leave everything to him. as so
many property-owners boast they do.
They interfere most ignorantly and
most fatally. They insist sometimes
on using paint materials without in
vesugating. whether they are good or
not. Or perhaps they insist on the
painters hurryang the work.
I'm NOT going TO have that painters
mess around my house month";" the
wife says, and what wife says goes
at the cost Of lot Of wasted painting
money. -.-'
II the painter stays away a few
days TO allow the paint to thoroughly
dry the owner says: That painters
neglecting this work-guess he's side
tracking me for Jones' work. l won't
stand It,"
What chance does a painter have to do
good work for a man who is continually
nagSing at him and otherwise handi-
Gaping him without meaning 1t, OF
course)? A poor job is the inevitable
result Of such interference.
Poor painting costs the houseowner
money-don't forget that. 1t might
pay you to get the practical paint

terants, which National Lead Co. are
