LETT ER TO MRS. ME ETON
Dougins, Ga.
Dear Madam: If you should
bake bread that people like bet
ter than any other, and at less
cost by the day, you’d have, a
pretty-good business, wouldn’t
you ?
We have just such a business
as that in paint; it goes further
than any other gallon of paint in
the country—that’s bread at less
cost by the day; but the differ
ence isn’t so small as it is in
bread. And a job wears longer
—that’s bread at less cost by the
year. People hate to paint; it
costs money to paint; and they
hate the fuss. They like our
bread by the year.
If your bread is better than
anybodyelse’s, and costs less too,
you’ve got a good trade; for peo
ple do like good bread; and peo
ple like money. It doesn't take
long to find-out; give ’em time.
But you can’t bake better-than
anybody-else’s bread for half the
usual price for a breakfast, can
you ?
Devoe is just such paint as
that. The price by the gallon or
loaf is no matter. Count by the
day, week, month, year, life
time. Devoe is the bread. We
hope yours is as good.
Yours truly,
F. W. Devoe & Co.

LETTER TO MELVIN TANNER
Douglas, Ga.
Dear Sir: The cheekiest fraud
in all paint is paste paint. Here’s
one.
Lawyer Arleyß. Magee, Dover,
Del, painted his house four years
ago with paste paint at a cost of
sl4 for paint and s6l for labor;
total $lO5. The house got shabby
in two years; then he painted
Devoe at very different cost: $lB
for paint and S3O for labor; total
S4B. [Paste paint $105; Devoe
s4B.]
It is like fattening hogs on milk
I water. Paste paint is i white
wash.
Yours truly,

Free Paint
Paint half your job Devoe; paint
the other half whatever you like.
If Devoe doesn’t take less gal
lons and cost less money, no pay.
The cost of putting it on is about
two-thirds of the job.
If it doesn’t wear a year or two
years or three years or four years
longer—distinctly longer and bet
i ter—we’ll give you enough to do
it again.
But we warn you how it will
all turn-out. The best half of
your job will cost you so much
j less than the other half, and wear
so much better too, that you’ll
never divide it again.
You won’t get your paint free,
you’ll get what is better, you’ll
know Devoe; you’ll know strong
paint; you’ll know weak paint;
and the question is settled.

The Lawles Man Does the Kicking
The following quotation is from
the Darien Timber Gazette:
“When a man deliberately vio
lates the law and is run down,
caught and punished, why we
cannot see what room there is
for kicking. We should obey the
law and thereby save us much
trouble and sorrow.”
This is true in every sense.
Ignorance of the law excuses no
man, and a violation of the law
of the land must be met with
prosecution, or the law should be
abolished. If a few men or wom
en are to be allowed to break
down the baniers that were made
by the law-makers for the pro
tection of society, the helpless,
the unprotected, others would be
induced by the leniency thus ex
tended to become lawless, and
soon the entire community, or
those who are law abiding would
be at the mercy of the criminal
bands that bring disgrace and
chaos to sections where they are
permitted to thrive.

Mrs. Grunday Says,
tThat she is on deck 1
again with a pocket full |
hair pins.
That she is tired of
blind tiger cats— they
make Grundy come home
late at night and try to unlock
the front door with his tooth
pick.
That Grundy has plenty of j
money some days and again has:
nothing but pieces of card and
dice in his pockets. There must
be a robber some where.
That if she is compelled to con
fess sins before she can get right
she had rather confess how mean
and low down some other people
are in this town.
That she is in favor of the
“law and order league” and the
whipping Dost for Grundy, and
some others like him.
That she reckons Grundy be
longs to the down and out club,
for he is often “out” all night
and always would come home
when he was not “down” and
couldn’t.
That when the blinking blind
tiger, and the shuffling gambler
who robs children of food and
raiment and the sobbing wife of
a home is out of business, there
will be more honest hands ready
for work and more peaceful and
contented homes.

Girl Fourteen Years Old Still a
Child.
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 23. Is a
girl 14 years old still a child or
has she crossed the borderland
of womanhood ?
This ever interesting ques
tion of feminine age was partly
decided Thursday morning in a
decision handed down by the
court of appeals. While the court
moves with caution over such
delicate territory it nevertheless
indicates that generally speaking
14 years is within the realm of
childhood. v
What effect this opinion will
have upon ages further up in the
scale, particularly those near the
30 mark, will be quickly seen.
On that subject, however the
court is discreetly silent.
The case under consideration
grew out of the indictment of
one Stone for cruel treatment of
his daughter, Mary, 14 years old,
the specific charge being that the
father had beaten his daughter
with an ox whip for several hours,
all the while cursing and threat
ening to kill her. On being de
clared guilty by the jury Stone
appealed his case on two grounds,
first that the prosecution had pro
duced no specific evidence of cruel
treatment in the way of marks
on the girl’s body, and second
that she being fourteen years old
did not come within a legal defi
nition of a child.
The first objection was set
aside by the court. For although
the girl herself had testified,
through fear as is believed, that

It was the question of the age
limit that most interested the
tribunal. The judges agreed
that the significance of a partic
ular age varies widely with dif
ferent climes and countries, but
that ordinarily speaking, so far
as Georgia is concerned, a girl of
14 may be regarded as a child.
