Letter to George ,. Hayes.

Dear Sir: The maker, who puts 2 or
lbs of whiting barytes or clay in a
gallon of paint, saves $3.50 or 1925 for
himself and makes you overpay $25on
a $50 job.
It takes Is gallons of his weak paint
1t is weak from that adulteration
and probably weak from benzine or
water besides-it takes Is gallons of
that poor stuff to cover a 1O-gallon
Job Devoe; it may take 20. Here's a
case:
Judge D Fairchild owns two houses
exactly alike, in Lufkin, Texas. j NJ
Terrence painted both houses, one
Devoe, 151a gallons; the other with
another paint sold at same price; 25
gallons. That 25 gallon paint is weak
and Is per cent whiting; that's why
it took e119 gallons more.
1t costs 81 to 81 a gallon to paint
anv paint, whether good or not. Add
this to the price, and the cost of your
Job is S. a gallon: s75 or 800 for
trash; Devoe $50.
Paint that takes more gallons may
or may not be adulterated; there are
pure paints and 200 adulterated;
Devoe is the strongest of all; it takes
least gallons, makes the least bill, and
wears longest, of ALL.
You can overpay from 10 to 12O per
cent; and the more you pay, the worse
YOUR Job. In paint, the rule is least
gallons, least cost, longest wear.
Yours truly
OF T. w. DEVOE & co

Good Roads Around Swansea.

1t is refreshing to note the improve
ment:that is being made in the roads
around Swansea. For several weeks
the chaingang has been located in that
section with large force of hands and
has been doing most effective work.
In addition to the force of the gang
the people of the community have
turned out with wagons, mules, etc.,
and have been assisting them in the
work.
Capt. P. J. Mack, who was here at
tending a meeting of the board OF
county commissioners on Monday IN
formed us that the road leading out
from Swansea to DR.. ". T. Browker's
place has already been clayed, and
that the work will continue to the CAL
houn county lire.
The people of Swansea are to be con-
graduated. There is no other way to
secure good roads than by assisting the
cnaingang. The roads around Swan
sea are among the sandiest in the
county, and it is hoped that the work
will be continued until every road in
that section is put in first class condi-
tion.
The changing has about % hands
now on the force. g.,

BILLIARD PLAYING WON BRIDE
Unusual Stakes on Games Dec ,aed in
italian Club, in City Of
philadelphia.

Men have often played billiards, but
not for love. 1t has taken William
Caruso, prosperous young barber of
the Colonnade hotel, to demonstrate
the fact that Cupid turks in the cor
ners of the green table, with a smile
and an arrow for the victor of the
game of chance.
Four years ago Caruso met, in the
Mazzina Garibaldi club, John Cirino,
the best billiard player in the club.
Caruso, undaunted by the others repu-
tation, challenged him to billiard
duel, with the privilege, if he won, of
asking in marriage the hand of a Ger.
tain lissom beauty, Filomena Cirino,
the then champions sister. All was
arranged, the match came off Caruso
won, and Cirino introduced the victor
to his sister.
Every week the billiard matches
would be the talk of the club when ii
became known what were the stakes
And every week Caruso beat his op.
ponent, fortified by the thought of the
smiles that awaited him after the
battle.
convinced at last that the young
barber was worthy man in every
respect, Cirino gave his consent to the
Observation-Disclosures Evening Bull
letin.

TWO IDEAS ABOUT BUSINESS
One Without Imagination, and the
Other with II and the Differ.
ence Therein.

IL must be remembered always that
1t is not the price Of an article which
is important, but the reason for the
price.
The bankrupt stock, the fire sale.
the manufacturers remnants. the an.
nual clearance, the removal sale, the
dissolution-of-partnership sale-what
are these, and many more, but argu.
ments for the price? And note this
one point-that without the argument
the price is powerless Reduce your
fur-lined overcoats from 500 70 SEQ,
and liberal discount attracts little at
tention. Why? Because there is no
reasonable explanation for the reduc-
ton. Why should you present over
coats to the public? But announce
that, owing to an expiration of your
lease, and the imperative command
that you vacate your present store
within two weeks, you will reduce the
price of your fur-lined overcoats from
500 to $50, and you may sell easily
all you have to offer. Instinctively.
the public sees the whole picture-the
proprietor's anxiety, the inevitable re-
moval, the lessentng days, the final
sacrifice, and the store full Of eager
buyers quick to seize such an oppor-
tunity. This is only half the reduction
previously considered; but one is bust
ness without Imagination, and the 9TH
s~ is business with it-Atlantic
Monthly.

TRY the HUNGER Cure.

A German woman who. has sui.
fered for years with neuralgia and
headache believes she has been cured
by fasting. Food is the root OF all
evil" she declares, mot money. Eat
ing and unhappiness are closely inter
woven. Hunger cures for certain
classes of nervous and internal disor-
ders are already being regarded ia.
vorably by some medical authorities.
Dreams, says one expert, are the re-
suit of a condition Of the stomach,
and thousands of people are plagued
with disagreeable dreams, which ex-
haust and destroy nerve centers. Fast.
ing seems a rational cure for such
disorders, and there is reason to sup
pose that it will in future form a very
material part of the treatment OF pa
tieDts by nerve specialists.

Won RueLoW as a Tow.

Among the thousands of ingenious
toys with which the German market is
flooded at Christmas time there is one
hardy annual, the Stehaufaennchen, OF
tumbler. little figure with leaden
base, which, stand it how you will, in
variably regains its original position
A year or so ago toy merchant, who
must have possessed a keen political
flair, conceived the genial idea of I'm
parting to the little tumbler the Inca
ments of Prince Buelow. The toy sold
by the hundred thousand and the in.
ventor must have made his fortune
Public opinion Immediately caught the
subtle allusion to the chancellor's as.
founding success in bobbing up ser.
enely out of the tightest corners, and
the sobriquet of Stehaufmaennchen
stuck.

EaVcrs Eads in School

A woman teacher says that there is
more time for the so-called "fads" in
the schools than there used to be, and
they make for culture and higher
ideals in the education of the child
The everlasting drill in arithmetic that
used to be necessary to make boys
good accountants is no longer re.
quired, adding machines doing all such
laborious work for the merchant. The
time for drilling is now given over to
training in language. Drawing and
manual work, it has been found, make
boys heater and more careful in other
work. The study of color in the pub
lie schools, although it may have not
developed single painter, has never.
theless improved the public taste in
dress, in furnishings and in civic
adornment.

Borglum's Group Of North America.

Gutzon Borglum's group of North
America, for the bureau of the Ameri-
can republics at Washington, has been
cast in plaster, and promises to be a
grand artistic monument. The figure
of the youth representing Progress"
is particularly strong, and we imagine
there is certain hidden meaning in
the expression of the nervous figure
that will give rise to some discussion
when the group is placed. Mr.. Borg.
lum, who started for vacation in the
Gunnison country of Colorado Will re.
turn in August and the marble group
will be cut in the rough al Washing
ton. Then it will be placed in position
at the building of the American repub-
lies, and the sculptor will finish il in
stu. There will be no leaving of work
to mechanics. The group will repre-
sent the full expression Of man FIJI,
OF original ideas, who takes his art in
tensely seriously.
