LETTER TO JAS RINES

  Dear Sir: You buy your horseshoes and nails; your grand-father, if he was a blacksmith made 'em. You can't afford to hammer them out by hand, when you can buy as good, or even better perhaps, ready made to your hand, for a little more than the cost of the iron.
  What do you think of a painter who goes on buying his linseed oil and white lead, and mixing, and tinting by hand, and charging his time for work that is far better done than he can do it, done by machinery, done as your horseshoes and nails are made.
  Mistake isn't it?
  He is wasting his chance in the world. There is not stuff to do business, with than good horseshoes and paint; and no better work than putting them on. good horseshoes well put on. It's the putting 'em on that makes you a blacksmith, no matter who makes 'em.
  Who wants to go back to old times, and make his own horseshoes.
  Between us two, that painter don't know how to make good paint - he used to, but paint has run away from him.
  Your truly, F W DEVOE & CO
  PS W A Liller sells our paint.

  Morgantown W Va, Aug 9 - Dr Edward Earle Puringtons thirty days fast came to an end yesterday. this morning at nine o'clock, he took a saucer of "Force" and cream and this afternoon at three he took an egg. He is well pleased with the results of his fast and ascertained many interesting things for his forth coming book.
  Prof Purinton some days ago stated that he was beginning to get hungry after his long fast and though he would eat with a good appetite at the end of his fast, but while he seemed to want to eat, a little satisfied him. He will eat little more for several days than he ate today and unless his theories change, will never eat ? again.
  It is a part of his theory and teachings that eating is responsible for many ills of the human race and that they can be cured by doing without food. His fast, just ended was to demonstrate the truth of his teachings.
  During his fast, Dr Purinton lost several pounds of flesh but feels strong and healthy. His experiment was watched with interest by persons all over the country.
