Letter to W. s. Huntiey.

Dear Sin There arr two sorts of paint /;
one to sell and make money, the other to
paint and save money
Who gets the money: The maker, the
seller, the painter.
Where does it come fromy The owner,
of course he pays the painter for doing
the work, and the dealer for gallons of
paint; and he pays the paint manufact-
uTer, gallons again; more gallons, more
money all round; for the owner 10 pay
to the painter, dealer and paint manu-
facturer
What's the paint that saves money!
Gallons again less gallons, less money
for paint. less money for wages; gallon
of paint is So for wages and pant. Less
gallons, less money to pay, 50 a gallon.
Two sorts of paint; less gallons and
more: less money and more: So a gallon;
difference: two to one in gallons and
money.
1t costs twice as much to paint the
average more-gallons paint as to paint
Devoe. When the people find out, it
may not be quite SO easy to sell extrav-
agant paint by calling it "cheap."

Who Pays the
Freight?

Every time the railroad puts
the screws to the manufacturer
he passes it onto the wholesaler,
and the wholesaler adds it to the
retailers price-and the retailer
takes it out of y0n.
That's not news, you sayl
Certainly not but the news
follows thusly: James ]. Hill,
Lord Strathcona and Lord Mount
Stephen have found in the hum
bic freight rate a splendid instru-
ment to build a great fortune of
S400,000,000 or thereabouts.
The experience of Spokane,
Wash, with Mr.. Hills freight
rates throws so much light into
this mysterious subject, that
Charles Edward Russell has made
of it a most interesting article.
When you are checking up
your bills from the butcher, the
grocer, the landlord and the rest
of the crowd that gets your pay
check, you'd better stop long
enough to learn how much OF
each of them is going into freight
rates. Mr.. Russell's article will

Olive Oil
as a Medicine

It is the custom In great many
places when Olive OIL is wanted, to
ask for bottle OF Salad OIL" Very
few months. and any man with common
other purpose than in salads, as tho
term salad oil seems to have fixed that
in their minds
We have often published short items
recommending Olive OIL as q food. but
no less important field of usefulness
for Olive Oil is in a medicinal way
For ages It has been known and used
as a mild and efficient laxative. and
is at the present time used exclusively
for such purposes in many countries
where the genuine article may be had.
Its action IN medicine Is that of a
mild and healing laxative and reeula-
tor FOR the entire digestive tract. There
may be possibility OF this being taken
as a broad statement in favor OF Olive
Oils in general. II must be UNDER
stood that only genuine. unadulter-
ated Olive oil has anything like the
medicinal effect spoken OF and purity
must be insisted on in order to get tho
desired effect. A reliable oil. virgin
pure. Is sold at Miller's Drug Store,

WASHINGTON. May 1-Phiiadelphia
has won its contest for a survey Of the
Delaware river channel with thirty-five
feet in view.
1t has been a long fight. The policy Of
the House Committee on Rivers and Har-

Mr.. Burton brought to realization OF
the needs Of the Delaware and to agree to
an appropriation carrying the survey de-
sired He had all along argued that the
thirty-foot chahnel ought to be tried out
first. but he q ckpitulated. Perhaps his pro-
motion 10 the, Senate put him in good
humor anyway. he shook hands with the
Philadelphians over the bloody chasm.
The appropriation having been made.
the next step belonged to the War De-
partment Major Deakyne, the engineer
in charge at Philadelphia. was instructed
to obtain the opinions of the business in

opinions we're strongly worded in favor Of
the work.

retary Of War Mr.. oliver, approved th'
boards recommendation.
Thus all the preliminary steps hav'
been taken. and nothing remains to b'

gineers to proceed 10 business.
