LETTER TO CHARLES STOVER,
BELFAST, MAINE.

Dear Sir: We hear you're doing a good
business, and we know already. without
your telling us, that you use good paint and
do good work We've got big business
too-been at it 1ia years-making good
pa int. best paint in the world, Devoe Lead
and Zine.
"Fewer gallons and wears longer"-that's S
the reason in short. 1t takes fewer gallons
of Devoe Lead and Zine than of mixed
paints to cover house, and it wears longer
than lead and oil or any mixed paint
Smith IL Wilber, Cambridge Springs, Pa,
write:
One of our painters says Devoe is the best
paint for a painter to use when taking work by
the job, as goes farther and covers better than
any paint he ever used.
Here's the experience everybody has with
it, The dealer who sells Devoe gets the
bulk of the paint business of his town. The
painter who paints Devoe gets the painting
of his town. Yours trnly,
F. W. DEvoE II Co.,
New York.

NEW HAMPSHIRE FOR LICENSE

CONCORD, n. H., March Is. This is a
memorable day in the history of New
Hampshire, for after tifty-tive years of Pro-
hibition, OF since 1878, the State legislature
has voted for license. The vote, which was
taken late this afternoon, stood pa to l0I.
This was the first reading of the bill. For
several years there has been an agitation
for local option and the sentiment has
grown year by year i'll the large cities and
manufacturing towns and prominent men
have identified themselves with the move
ment.
The bill, as reported by nine members of
the committee On liquor laws, provides Tor
licenses of eight classes as follows: Inn
holders, from S25 to $1,000; saloons of the
tirst-cass, from $3.50 to $1,000, according to
size of city or town; druggists, with fee
of $40; malt and wine licenses, from $500
to $500 malt for railroad stations, from S50
to 500; club licenses, from $50 to $3.50; ana
distillers, from $500 to $1,000 year.
The law also provides for a State COM
mission of three members, no more tnan
two of which shall be of the same political
party, agents with the right of entry and
examination, restrictions as to the character
of men who shall have licenses. fines for
adulteratiOn, no saloons within 2Oo 1eet OF
a school or church, no sales before o III the
morning or after 10 O'Clock at night, no sales
on election days or holidays, women not to
sell liquor, and outside restrictions as to the
records of sales by druggists.
No person shall be licensed who has not
been a resident of the State for at least
year.
Two members of the committee recorded
themselves as in favor of the bill, with the
exception OF the feature providing straight
license instead of local option Tor cities
Two members presented minority report
that it was inexpedient to leglSate.

Report of the Coal Commission.

The report of the Anthracite Coal Strike
Commission, made public in Washington
last Saturday, is one of the most important
documents given to the world in years. The
relations between the anthracite mining
companies and their employees are fixed for
the next three years and all the conditions
imposed are the result of an unanimous
verdict of the commission, on which both
capital and labor are represented Follow
ing are the interesting points
/. A general increase in wages, amount
ing in most instances to ten per cent
.. Some decrease in time.
3. Arbitration of all disputes.
4. A minimum wage and IA sliding scale.
). Observation-Disclosures on account OF mem
bership or nOn-membership in labor union
either by mine operators or miners.
s. No award as to whether the union

Fish and Fishermen.

A smack from Isle au Haut was in port
Friday with small fare of live cod and
haddock.
The firm of Sawyer & Wyman of Mil
bridge whose pound is at Bluehill Falls re-
Gently sold $4,000 Holsters to Thorndike Il
Hicks of ROckland.
There was drop in the price of halibut
last week. The best cuts had been selling
at from 20 to % cents per pound. Fridays
price was Is cents.
A stock company has been formed by
Geo. a. Sawyer of Milbrdge and Boston
parties to build lobster pound at the
mud hole" on Eastern bay, Jonesport.
The company is capitalized at $4,000.
There has been Il shortage of Holsters at
Rockland, caused by the prevalence of the
grip on Aatinicus and Crehaven. Fully
two-thirds of the population, male and fe-
male, have been attacked, causing an al
most entire cessation of lobstering in this,
the busiest season. The daughter of Mrs.
John Hall, wife of the keeper of Matincus
light, has been dangerously i'll with the
grip. Nothing like the present epidemic
has ever been known on these islands.
A. r. Nickerson of Boothbay, who has
handled the alewife privileges in Damaris-
Gotta Mills for the past % years, predicts an
early run of fish this spring on account of
the early breaking up OF the ice. This in
dustry is an important one. The town not
only receives a good sum yearly for the
surplus fish, but the residents are employed
in catching them. Some days as high as
half million alewives have been dipped
out of the stream.

Soft and crooked bones mean
bad feeding. Call the disease
rickcts if you want to. The
growing child must eat the
right food for growth. Bones
must have bone food, blood
must have blood food and so
on through the list.
SCOTS Emulsion is the right
treatment for soft bones in
children. Little doses every day
give the stiffness and shape
that healthy bones should have.
Bow legs become straighter,
loose joints grow stronger and
hrmncss comes to the soft
heads.
Wrong food caused the
