Dear Sir: For your house, no matter
what's the matter with tit isn't q
human you know-a prescription:
Devoe Ready Paint. Apply with a
brush, from one to three coats-get a
a painter to do it,
You know what the color and dryer
are for; do you know what the lead and
zinc and oil are for? Not being a
painter, you may not choose to know;
but we'll tell you.
Lead and zinc and oil combine to
form a rubbery waterproof coat to
keep out dampness. That's the whole
business.
The oil would do it alone; lead and
oil would do it, without the zinc; zinc
and oil without the lead; but the three
together are best, because they wear
best.
We say TO you, ''get a painter" as
we'd say to him ''get a doctorp-every
mar to his trade. Can'tall be painters
and doctors; don't want to-
You will be more successful in a
prosperous looking house; and he in
good health. Take good care of one
another. Yours truly,
+. W. DEvoE s. Co.

Mileage Troubles End.

The mileage rate war in the West.
which for a time threatened to involve
many of the Eastern railroads, has been
settled. The question was disposed Of by
the amalgamation of the three existing
mileage bureaus and the adoption of
three mileage tickets which will result
in a test of the credential system as
against a mileage book coed on trains.
The three mileage books will be plac-
ed on sale in Western territory on and
after December 1. and are as follows:
1. A new 4,000-mile interchangeable
credential book. which must be honored
by all roads in the amalgamated bureau.
2. The present 1000 mile Interchange
able credential book, the use of which is
optional.
9. A new 2,000-mile book good on
trains, use being optional.
All roads must use tickets No. 1 and
must choose between Nos. and g. The
compromise permits the Rock Island to
retain its 2,OO0-mil credentiaI ticket,
and permits other roads TO use the pro-
posed book good on trains. and by the
introduction OF a new 4OO0-mile ticket
the two systems are fairly pitted against
each other

Pay to Employees.

Concerning the wages and salaries be-

sey says: While there were general
advances in wages during the fiscal year
ended June 80. 1902, the increases then
made did not satisfy all the employees.
and during the present year large addi-
tional increases were rendered neces-
sary by the action of other railways.
until every class of the service has re-
ceived from 10 to 20 per cent advance
over the rate paid two years ago. IN
addition to the direct increase in the
rates of pay, rules. changing hours OF
work. mileage, doubling and overtime
have materially added TO the cost of
