Dear Sir: We make Devoe, and of course. know what there is in it; but you don't, your neigbors don't, and the people don't. So we get the official chemist of every State in the Union to analyze it and tell what he finds; of course, they find what we put-in: lead zine and oil, a little turpentine dryer, and color for tints. And that's paint. Ev.

ery agent has the analysis of Devoe by his State chemist. We also analyze all other paint, and what do we find? We find eight made of the same materials as Devoe: all paint: pure paint, But we find no one of the same proportions as Devoe: no one so strong. And people are trying Devoe alongside of these other paints, and finding out how they work: what it costs to paint Devoe; what it costs to paint those several paints; how they wear alongside and comparatively. There's no guess-work in any of these results. A gallon Devoe goes further than any other gallon in all paint; it therefore saves both parts of first cost of a job, of paint and labor.

It makes the best job of the lot, besides. It takes years and experiences by the thousand to find that or out. 89 Yours truly F. W. DEVOE Co.

P. S. I. T. Buffington sells our paint.

No one will ever be sorry for the opening of a Kindergarten in Elizabethville or for giving it all the support possible. Miss Mayme Weaver of Killinger visited at the home of F. M.

Lenker over Sunday. A bag of bran was lost on the hill, East End of Elizabethville on Tuesday, April 19. The teamster who lost this bag can recover same by conferring with The Echo or Michael Matter. Leroy W. Bolton and family of Rife were the guests of James Miller and family 011 Sunday.

Jones, widow of the Pittsburgh steel manufacturer, has offered Health Commissioner Dixon her magnificent cottage and grounds at Cresson. It lies close by the tract of land given the Commonwealth by Andrew Carnegie for its Western Sanatorium for tuberculosis. The cottage which is said to have originally cost about $18,000, is large enough to accommodate at least 20 tuberculous patients and no time will be lost in getting it ready for such occupancy. As the cottage is in good repair this will not take long so that the benefits of the high altitude and healthy climate of Cresson will soon be enjoyed by a number of poor sufferers. In the meantime the Sanatorium buildings on the Carnegie tract will be rapidly pushed forward.

The lot on which the two and one-half story Jones' cottage stands is about 100 ft. front and 150 ft. deep. There are in all thirteen bed-rooms in the building, most of them large and comfortable, with big baywindows into which the sun may pour its healing rays. Wide porches almost surround the cottage.

Here the patients may sit in their rest chairs enjoying the pure mountain air and having a view of a surrounding country whose scenic beauty is unsurpassed. Mrs. Jones' gift to the Commonwealth, like that of Mr. Carnegie, is particularly gratifying in that it shows the complete confidence that exists in the State's campaign against tuberculosis. Use UNIVERSAL COUGH SYRUP it has no equal.

Daniel Shoop. "Death has all seasons for its own'? and when the year is young and new life issues everywhere seems particularly to be its reaping-time of old age and the hoary head. On Monday morning, April 25th, it summoned one of the oldest residents of Jackson Daniel Shoop, a lifelong citizen and one of the leading, substantial farmers of our neighboring valley. For the past two years he had been in declining health and became bedfast about six weeks ago, suffering with an affection of the liver. He passed peacefully into the eternal sleep at the ripe age of 81 years, 6 mos.

23 das. Daniel, son of Daniel and Susanna (Albright) Shoop, was born in Jackson twp. Oct, 2nd 1828, one of a family of eight children. His father died when he was 14 years old, which practically threw him on his own resources, but he was ambitious and industrious and at the age of 23 he applied himself to the trade of shoe-making at Enders, where he worked for one year. He was married June 5th 1852 by Rev.

Geise of the U. B. church to Katharine, daughter of John Enders and wife, when he purchased a piece of land of 16 acres just outside of the village, to which he removed and continued shoe-making with his farming. To this union' were born eight children of whom three--Mary, John and Emanuel, have preceded him to the grave, and there survive, -Aaron, of Elizabethville; Nathan of Upper Sandusky, who recently visited here; Reuben of Small Valley; Edward of Penbrook, and Curtin of Philada. His (first) wife died July 4th 1877 and was buried at Jacksonville cemetery.

He was married again June 18th 1881, by the Rev. Jacob Runk, to a sister of the first wife, Mary M. (Enders) Sweigart of Powls Valley, the mother of the late Mrs. L. H.

Zeigler of town, and she died June 1899. Mr. Shoop was an indefatigable worker, an able business manager, frugal and thrifty, and kept adding to his original 16 acres until he had a homestead of 260 acres, and at one time was the owner of four fine farms, all of which he has since disposed of to be relieved in his declining years of business cares and retire from its annoyances. He was for a long period of years and up to the end a faithful member of the United Brethren church and for some time served as trustee. He was also one of the earliest members of the Sr.

O. U. A. M. of Enders, and this organization will assist at the funeral.

By his death Jackson twp. loses one of its prominent and most venerable men, for he was everywhere respected and highly regarded for his stalwart manhood and uprightness of character, and he will be greatly missed in the community. Funeral services will be held at the home on Thursday forenoon at 10 o'clock, after which services will be conducted in the U. B. church at Enders by Rev.

Ulrich in the English language and Rev. J. Runk in German, and will be laid to rest beside his loved ones in Jacksonville cemetery. A Surprise Party. A very enjoyable event occurred on Elizabethville Rural Route No.
