The secret is: one paint go0s twice as far as another. A good one goes twice as far as a bad one. You have a job, say an average job. It'll take 10 gallons Devoe and 12 or 15 or 18 or 20 of middling poor very-poor and trash. Ycu know painter's wages in your town. Put the price of a gallon of paint and the painter's daywage together. You can, wc can't. Devoe costs less than any inferior i paint; there are hundreds of them. One paint is as good as another, so long as it lasts good; one lasts mouths and another years; and the one that goes furtherest lasts longest.

Backache, urinary disorders, and a rheumatism, are caused from weak, t inactive kidneys, which fail to filter c out the impurities and keep the blood a pure, and the only way on earth to c premanently and positively cure such c troubles,/is to remove the cause. " The new discovery, Croxone, cures t such conditions because it reaches i the very roots of the disease. It r soaks right into the stopped up, in- e active kidneys, through the walls and ? linings; cleans out the little filtering s cells and glands; neutralizes and dis- t solves the poisonous uric acid substances that lodge in the joints and c muscles to scratch and irritate and f cause rheumatism; it neutralizes the a urine so it no longer irritates t tender membranes of the blade? ? and cleans out and strengthens tne 1 stopped up, iifeless kidneys so they s filter and sift ail the poisons from c - Coroner Weed's Trip.

Wo were bound for Baltimore and the last we \ i saw of him he was standing cn a cor- [ ner in Washington waiting for the [ crowd to pass and 'we- know that he [ was deeply mystified to know where \ so many people got anything to eat [ and where did they for "the lands ! sake" find sleeping room? Rest as- j sured Warren spent the time cf his life, for being so near to Baltimore, Philadelphia and Now York, he availed him-.elf of t hi?'grand opportunity and did not stop short of the sites of Atlantic City, where he came near en gaging in a Carnival show as the fufc j t man, but for various reasons and for * fear some one might get killed or 1 leave this terefirm a suddenly without .

A Cord of Rat-Tails. According to newspaper accounts he farmers in one township in the vicinity of Findlay, Ohio, slaughtered 13,083 rats to make a Buckeye holiday. Pne local pests of rats called forheroic ireat-ment, and as the Pied Piper of iamelin seems to be off duty, the peo)lo divided into two parties and had a at contes:. They used every method >t rat-catching known to the trade, tod some which up to that time had )een unknown. The army securing :he smaller number of rats paid for an >yster supper for the combined forces, Hid the campaign wound up in mirth mu j >!lity. We may receive the story that the oils of rat-tails amounted to a cord? sight feet long, fcur feet wide, and !our feet high?with a grain of salt; )nt the fact seems to be that some ats were killed, and some fun enjoyed. So more profitable work could be done ihan this. In northern Iowa, many years .-ago >ne locality had its annual "gopher iay," upon which occasion the men ma boys divided into two armies, mder skilled leaders, went ont and rll?d the striped and gray ground squirrels which infested the fields, rhcse affairs always ended in a jolliication, good eating, music, and general relaxation. It did the neighborhood good, and benefitted the corn. The rat we have always with us. rher8 is a knack in catching him. Any squad which will make a study of ratjatchiug wUl have an advantage over the unskilled party. > - . ,i 1 t ?- J r W, M.'
