Letter to W. wT Burley, Walhalla. Dear Sir: The way to reckon tho cost of paint is to put both costs together; tho cost of tho paint and tho coBt of put ting il on. It would Bavo this country hundreds of millions of dollars a year; it would save you alone (if you happen to bo a victim) several dollars a year. Seo how it works. It costs as muoh to put on ono paint as anothor, don't it? Yes, if you use tho same number of gallons. Well, don't I? No, you'll uso twice as many gallons of adulterated paint as of Dovoo; and you'vo got to pay twice as muoh for put ting it on. Mr. N. Avory, Delhi, N. Y., has two houses aliko and in samo condition. Painted ono houso with Dovoo: 0 gallons. Painted tho other houso with a paint that was half adultoratiou: 12 gallons. Samo painter, Goo. Gilbert, did both jobs. One cost $27; the other $64.
