It's simple--just send for the VISUAL PROOF offered below and you'll be amazed at the superior whiteness. Every time, Anaconda will show a whiter white, or, mixed with color pigment, a cleaner tint. And this is no exaggeration either. We know what we're talking about because we ourselves control the product every step of the way... from mine to keg. You can't afford to pass up thisproofthatAnaconda is a really superior white lead. And in spite ofits super whiteness it costs you no mote than other quality lead. I have been reading your Question and Answer De partment for some time. There seems to be lots of trouble about paint peeling on the sides of houses. There does not seem to be so much trouble with the front and rear. I have read that you claim the cause is water in most cases. I will try to explain the cause of most failures, as I have seen them as they appear in the territory where I live. In the winter time the snow gathers on the roofs. We get a warm spell; the snow starts to melt and the water starts running down towards the eaves. Just about the time the water gets to the eaves, later in the day, it has started to get cold and the water freezes at the eaves. In a few days there is quite a dam of ice there and the water can't get over. It has to go some where, so it spreads out on either side and finds its way through the joints in the shingles, and from there on down through the cornice and siding. I have seen houses here covered with ice from the eaves to the water table on the sides, but none on the front and rear as the gables keep them clear of ice. When the ice melts off the sides of the roof running down on the inside of the siding the paint has to let go with it. I find that it does not make any difference which kind of paint was used. It just can't stick under these con ditions. On a lot of jobs that act in this way.the blame is laid against the painter, whereas he is not at fault in the least. _ C. H. A. Binghamton, N. Y.

Has anyone ever tried to use sodium silicate? I have used it on cement surfaces with suc cess and see no reason why it cannot be used success fully on this type of house. Use one gallon of silicate to five gallons of water; put on with a spray gun or brush. It will not show discoloration and will last for years. I have used this for years on cement surfaces, and particularly my own driveway, even when it was partly worn, and it hardened the surface better tljan new, and therefore, I can see no reason why it would not _ be equally effective on the type of house referred to.
