' Tie Fluttering Puser.
The physician says that the
most hopeless type of woman he
has to deal with is the one who
fritters her vitality on everything
that comes under her nose; who
does not reserve her strength for
the important things of life.
Everyone knows this kind of
woman, and at times everyone is
this kind of woman. It takes . a
good deal of self-investigation to
call a halt and see if yon are not
working overt! me.
No life is so secluded that it
does not have Important things
to be done. Usually the woman
who uses good Judgment in a
trivial life is the one who works
ber way out into the bigger world
and learns how to handle great
things out there.
But in both spheres is the worn
an who gets excited over the
thing that is not worth while;
then when she must bring all her
energies to bear on the big things
worth accomplishing, she ' finds
herself bankrupt. , .
You can put your finger on this
lack of balance everywhere.
From the woman who wants to
appear at her best at an import
ant social function and who de
feats this purpose by . shopping
all day for a certain ribbon to
wear in ber hair, to the woman
who stays m the kitchen all day
over a trivial task when she needs
ber strength for a trip the next
day; the evidence of frittering is
everywhere.

Least Gallons
That's the thing to go-by in paint-least gallons
Devoe.
The strongest takes least gallons, of course;
and, of course, wears Idngest.
Costs half to three-quarters; more likely half.
Depends on what you compare it with.
Compared with average paint, Dovoe costs
half and wears two or three times as long.
Compared with the worst, Dovoe costs a third
the worse your paint, the more it costs. You'll
find it out when you pay for putting it on.
You pay by the gallon. No matter how you
payt you pay by the gallon.
.You .pay for putting it on by the day; but the
painter paints a gallon a day; a day is a gallon;
you pay by the gallon.
If you don't know itt better look-out.
If you want to know what a gallon costs you,
put-on; add together the gallon price and the
day's-work price.
You pay that for every gallon you have put-on;
no matter what paint; no matter what price; no
matter who paints it; no matter what bargain
you make.
An extra gallon means weak paint, a little more
money for paint, more money tor painters wages
about $5 a gallon for both), and painting again
too soon.
The cheap paint is Devoe; the others are dear;
there are 8 not-adulterated in the United States;
200 adulterated; 100 short-measure; one Devoe.
Take your choice.
If anyone doubts any statement above, here's
the proof
He may paint half his job Devoe, the other
half any paint he likes. If Devoe doesn't take less
gallons and cost less money (1) for the gallons (2)
for putting it on, no pay. If it does, Devoe is the
paint that makes least first cost.
