Here are five ways in which
you get fooled in buying paint,
1. The paint is stuffed out
with chalk or something like
that.
2. With barytes; better than
chalk; doesn’t “cover”; you
don’t know it’s there.
3. Benzine, or water, in the
oil.
4. Too much liquid, whatever
it is, for the solid; paint too
thin.
5. Short measure.
Hei’e’s one way you can be
sure of quality:
Devoe Lead-and-Zinc paint is
all paint, full measure; lead,
zinc, linseed oil, color and tur
pentine dryer, and nothing else.

Buying Rock For Bridge Work.
Mr. E. R. Beane of Russell,

rock has not only been a bene
fit to the roads and farms from
whence they came, but it has
put a right snug little sum of
money in the pockets of the
farmers that they would not
otherwise have had. All of these
rock have gone into the con
struction of the bridge at Mem

Release from broom drudgery—from the strain of mov
ing and lifting furniture and from the dangerous scattering
of dust and germs that are raised by the use of the broom
and the old fashioned carpet sweeper, can be attained by
the use of the Duntley Combination Pneumatic I
Sweeper, which, _ although easily operated by hand,
creates powerful suction force which draws out all the dirt
and dust found in your rugs and carpets and at the same
time the revolving brush picks up all lint, pins, threads, j
raveKngs, etc.
THE DUNTtEY SWEEPERS are made in three sizes and sold
under a rigid guarantee for one year. You may try a Dunt- V
ley in your own home for 10 days Free of Charge. '
