THE whole doctrine OF De-
voc Lead and Zinc Paint
turns on these three
points:
I. 1t is all paint and true
paint.
2. 1t is strongest, and goes
farthest paint.
: 3. 1t is full measure.
Because these three things
are true, Devoe Lead and Zinc
Paint takes least gallons for
: the job; looks best all the
time; lasts longer.
There is no such argument
for any other paint; there is
mo other such paint; the man
who uses Devoe gets the best
he can get in paint.

buttermilk, in some way managed to
left herself up and lean over the edge
until she lost her balance and fell in
head first. She was almost dead
when rescued. She had fallen face
down in the shallow fluid and the en-
tire body had gone in. Why the buck
ct did not capsize with her is mys-
terry.
Only a moment before tne accluent
happened Mrs. Swander had looked
in through the screen door and had
seen the child creeping around. One
Of the other children went into the
house and found the baby drowning,
took it out of the bucket and called
the mother. Mrs. Swander, with rare
presence of mind, did exactly what
a skilled doctor would have done in
the same circumstances, holding the
child up by the feet and rolling it on
its stomach to get the fluid out of
the air passages, then working with
the arms raised overhead and press
