cerely regret to know that he has gone
from their view lorever. Peaceful be his
rest. Clarion Democrat.

As to That Big Lumber C'nt.
Two weeks ago tbe Rei'uumuan pub
lished an article on tbe "Greatest Lumber
Cut," which gave some rather startliug
figures of that vast Industry in the United
States, Tbe article was sent out by the
"Forest Service" of the U. S. Dept. of
Agriculture and was correct In all but
one feature, to which one of our subscrib
ers called our attention. The error was
manifest at a glance and we took the
trouble to refer tbe matter back to tbe
Chief of the Forest Service at Washington
who makes the proper correction in tbe
following letter. In the ar'icle referred
to the total cut for a year was given as
37,550,736 board feet. To these figures
should bave been added three ciphers,
making it 37,550,730.000 billions instead
of millions. The letter follows:
U. 8. Dei-t. ok Agriculture, Forest )
Service, Washington, Feb. 12, 'U8. J
Ed. Forest Rei uulican,
Tionesta, Pa.
Dear Sir : Your letter of February 7 is
received. I am aony to say that the total
lumber cut as given In Prfs Review 29
should have been 37,550,730,000 board
feet. The error was due to the Ucl that
It is customary when speaking of lumber
In billions of teet to write tbe digits for
millions aud to put the word thousand
after tbem. In tbis case tbe word thous
and was, by mistake, omitted. I should
thank you heartily for publishing this
correction. Very truly yours,
Finuley Burns, Chief.
Letter to E. W. Bowman,

Dear Sir: Paint goes by gallons.
Tbere are useful aud useless gallons.
Useful pslnt is lead-zino-and-oil witb
dryer and color; useless paint Is whiting,
china-clay, ground stone, barytes, ben
zine, or water.
Tbis stuff is put-in, because it Is cheap,
to stuff-out the paint, to make moie gal
lons to sell, of course, the buyer doesn't
suspect, or be wouldn't buy it.
It costs as much to blush-on this use
less stuff as lead-zinc-and-oil; but it looks
like that and feels like that in tbe brush;
the painter doesn't suspect it. Besides,
if the owner is willing, why should tbe
painter object to pninting two gallons for
one? He is paid by the day; more gal
lons, more days, more money.
Average paint at full price is about
one -third tbis useless stuff; aud average
paint at $1.23 or f 1.130 or $1.75 a gallon is
two-thirds trash. Fool paint is the
proper name for all but pure paint; it is
made to fool people with. Knave paint is
another good name; it is made, of course,
by knaves. Sick paint is a name for an
honest weak paint. They are all weak
and all extravagant: too many gallons to
buy and too many gallons to brush-on.
Devoe Is the standard.
Yours truly,
F. W, Devoe A Co.

the changeable weather of autumn, win
ter and spring, the chances of a surprise
from ordinary colds will be slight. But
the ordinary light cold will become se

menace to child life at this season of the
year is the neglected cold." Whether it
is a child or adult, the cold slight or se

adopted is to give Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. It is sale and sure. The great
popularity and immense sale of this
preparation has been attained by its re
markable cures of Ibis ailment. A cold
