Letter to j. l.. English,
Aberdeen, Miss.

Dear sir: There are thousands of
people saying: That's what | call a
good job of paint, it has worn three
years. Pm going to repaint before 1t
needs it; three years is enough
Those people are long way behind
the times. There are two reasons
for painting; those people know only
one; they are thinking only of wear;
of keeping out water. Three years
may be too long for the looks OF
paint; it isn't half enough for the
wear. If all you want of paint is to
keep-out water, Devoe is good for
a dozen years in average places.
And that isn't all.
The cost of the job is the first
thing to think of, aud, if you think
of it right, you needn't bother with
wear.
The paint that takes least gallons
makes the least bill for paint and
painting; people forget the labor bill;
it's the biggest bill in the job. a
gallon saved is about 50. Five gal
lons saved is S25 The paint that
saves gallons-that's the paint to
wear.
Geo. w. Brown, Union, s. G. paint
ed b. F. Arthur's house there twelve
years ago with so gallons; repainted
five years ago lead and-on with %
gallons; last year Devoe with II gal
Ions. There's $50 saved on paint and
labor; don't know what he paid for
that 30-gallon stuff; no matter.
Go by the gallons. Yours truly.

PREvEN1IvEs OF SICKNESS.


The County Health Officer take
this opportunity to request the citi
zens of Monroe county to screen al
homes against mosquitoes and flies,
Tha. this should be done at once, and
if properly and thoroughly done, il
will prevent great deal of sickness
later on, and will be a great saving to
all those who do this diligently, not
only financially, but from untold wor-
ry and anxiety from the immediate
results of the disease when it attacks
your loved ones.
The Health Officer would most
earnestly request erybody to do
away with damp places around the
homes and barns, cellars, open wells.
broken bottles and jugs, damp horse
and COW stalls. and anything else that
holds water for a few days following
a raiu. All these places act as breed
ing place for mosquitoes and flies. All
low ground, stables, wells, etc., that
cannot be drained. should be kept
oiled or lined, once to twice a week.
The outlay for this would be small
and the saving in sickness and death
would be great. All vegetables, Stops,
and garbage OF all kinds, should be
kept in well covered vessels and al
lowed to stand for Gully few hours
at most,
1t is impossible for the Health Off
Ger to visit every home and place in
this great county of Monroe and see
about these things, therefore the au-
thorities would appreciate it if any
and all nuisances were promptly re-
ported, and such measures as neces-
sarv would be taken to suppress the
same.
Do away with the common house
fly. keep his filthy feet, which are al
ways laden with some kind of ma
nure, from the mouth, cheeks and
food of yourself and family. This will
do away with 70 out of every 100 cases
of typhoid Typhoid i'll Monroe coun-
ty.-For the next twelve months, de-
stroy the mosquitoes, the anopholes,
and all malaria (chills and fever will
disappear as if by magic, and the way
to get rid of these pests is to screen
and clean-up-be decent.
Labor and costs will be very little,
compared to the money saved in
drugs aud doctors bills, not counting
the physical and mental worry, that
will be prevented.
Respectfully.
