The application is, however, opposed uy Robert James Dodds, real estate ageut of Toronto, former'v of Oiaiigeville, a son of Mrs. Alice Dodd!<, another sister of the deceas- ed. Dodds glaims that he is acting as next friend for his mother, who is repre- sented as beini? old, feeble and incapable of doing business.

Application is also made for administration of the estate by the Toronto General Tru-its Co. as the nominee of Dudds. The he'rs to the property are Alex. tJordim, of Shelburne, a brother ; Mary Ann Gordon, of Shelliurne, Mrs, Alice Doddi", of Toronto, sisters ; Win A, Gordon, of Singhamplon. a nephew, and Mrs. James Jauiiesoii and Mrs. .\rohie McDonald, in the W»s(, nieces.

In sheer covering capacity it has no equal. A gallon of it goes so far that you'll buy less of it ^nd yet do more with it. Paint with B-H "ENGLISH" PAINT this spring â€" and your house is protected for years, where a coat of ordinary paint will last but a few months. The difference lies in the above formula basis. What other paint is so correct in this respect that its makers guarantee it.' 'What paint can a dealer furnish you that has anything like the quantity of white lead in it that has B-H "English ' ? This was th.e formula when lead was lower in priceâ€"this is the formula still; even though lead is extremely high in price. It HAS to be the B-H formula; because the guarantee that calls for it, is printed right on the B-H cans. We could not cheapen B-H "English" Paint even if wc wanted to. So it's your safe paint as to quality, your sure paint as to covering capacity, your dependable paint as to durability. Find the B-H dealer in your town. He's the man to buy from.
