LETTER TO JOSEPH HOBBS.

Dea Sir; You are interested in the
prosperity of your toyn. and every
dollar ANYBODY saves adds to the wealth
of the place.
People can save half their money on
Iaint-more than half. Devoe Lead
and Zinc takes fewer gallons than
mixed paints to cover a House, and
lasts twice or three times as long as
lead and oil.
Paint is saved; labor is saved and
the painting nuisance is made half
as much frequent.
When Devoe Lead and Zinc is est
ablished in Msrtinsburg you win get
out of it than we shall.
Yours trulyF.

WHEN BALmY DAYS COME.

We feel the need of music more. if
possible, than at any other time. No
piano i the home and it is not what
it should be. Music does touch a re-
sponsiye cord in the breast that
nothing else viii ever reach, and with
this part of the soul unawakened you
lose much of the sweetness and pIeas-
ures of life.
There surely never was. and never
will be, pernaps. a better time than
now to get a piano at Ordway's,
Hagerstown for they are giving great
er inducements on the best makes of
pianos of any house in the country.

WHITE HOUSE IMPRESSIONS
visitors Are strack by Rcnodeied
skructure's sinaplIelty and DIgnity.

Visitors Are strack by Remodeied
Structures simplicity and Dignity.
By the restoration OF the east and
west terraces the White House now
rises from a ~stylobate 400 feet in length.
thus greatly enhancing the dignity Of
the structure. says Charles Moore in
the Century Magazine for April. The
roofs of these terraces (which are level
with the ground on the north are sur.
rounded with stone balustrades bear
ing electric lamps. Brilliantly lighted
at evening and adorned with we'll trim
med orange and bay trees, they form
promenades and places for out of door
enjoyment during the long months
when the Washington climate permits
such diversion.
Sow on the occasions of large re-
ceptions the guests drive into .he
grounds bya new entrance. opposite the
west front Of the treasury. Alighting
at d spacious porte cochere, they enter
a corridor formed by the east terrace,
VA css' are boxes to accommodate the
VIZ ps of $500 guests. the limit of the
capacity OF the house. Entering the
main building on the garden level, n
finds on eaeh side of the broad corridor
ample dressing rooms, which take the
place formerly given owe to laundry
aud storerooms. From the corridor the
guests proceed by a broad flight of
stone stairs to the main floor of the
house, which is entirely at the service
Of the guests.
The hall. no longer an ~improvised
dressing room, becomes an integral
nortlon of the house and instead Of be-
ing anished as a thoroughfare is treat
I'd with the large and simple dignity
betting the room which hereafter will
command the access to the various
state apartments. On entering the
White House the first impression n
gets is that it's size has been greatly
increased. There is a satisfying air Of
s%paclousness combined with dignity.
One is struck with the simplicity Of
treatment. and yet on examination it
is discovered that ornament well sub
ordinated is a characteristic of the
work.

STATUE toR

one of Monroe Proposed In Tx
chnnge q Kniser's Gift.
All American Roland for the German
Oliver is a proposition which is finding
a measure of approval in Washington
in return for the gift Of a statue of
Frederick the Great, presented by the
kaiser ana to be placed in the new war
college grounds, says the New York
Tribune. The United States must Of
course, it Is said, r%eciprocate with a
statue of some distinguished Ameri-
car, and the name which finds the
most favor is that Of James Monroe.
who gave his name 10 the greatest or
American foreign policies, the Monroe
doctrine. The fact that Monroe typi-
fies the foundation stone of American
policy has been declared to be the
strongest reason why it would be fit
ting 70 present his statue in exchange
for that of the monarch who laid the
basis of the modern greatness of Prus-
STA. There is ample precedent for the
exchange OF statues.
France presented to the United States
the Lafayette statue now ia the square
opposite the White House, and this
country reciprocated with a statue Of
Washington. 1t is urged that interna-
tional etiquette requires that there
should be a similar return for the gift
of the German emperor. A statue Of
Monroe of heroic proportions, suited
for location In the famous Inter den
Linden or even at Kiel, the chief naval
station of Germany, is regarded as
most appropriate. 1t has been pointed
out that, as Washington was the best
known American statesman to the
French, so Monroe has been equally IA
nous TO the Germans and that the
frank recognition of the Monroe doc
trine frequently made by Germany fur.
nishes al adequate reason for such a
presentation No definite steps have
yet been taken to carry out the pro-
posed scheme owing TO the delay III
sending the statue Of Frederick. but il
seems not unlikely that later there
ma be official Developments.

MASONIC HONOR FOR HORSE
Monument For a Beast That Made
Three Round Trips 10 the Pacific.

Monument For a Beast That EIade
Three Round Trips 10 the Pacific.
The Masonic fraternity of Illinois will
shortly erect a monument to a horse.
the first instance on record where a Sc.
cret society has put up such a remem-
brance. says a Bloomington dispatch to
the Chicago Inter Ocean.
The monument will be placed over
the grave of a fine equine once owned
by Robert Miller, now deceased, of Sui
Ivan county and who gave it a first
class burial. a year ago Robert Miller
died and left a handsome legacy to the
Masons Of Illinois in the shape OF a
farm, stipulating that this farm should
be the site Of a home for aged and in
firm members Of the order.
When the trustees inspected the
farm, they came across a curious
mound surrounded by a well built
fence. They learned that it was the
grave of an old gray mare that had
been owned by Mr.. Miller for many
years and of which he thought almost
as much as OF a child. This mare had
been ridden by him TO California in the
days of the gold excitement in 1919. In
fact. he had made three round trips TO
the Pacific coast on the back of this
faithful beast, travelling in all proba-
biiity $4,000 miles. The Masonic board
decided to perpetuate the mares mem
Ory with a monument.

a. Medicine That Will
Cure Cases of Catarrh
Of Long Standing De-
serves a Very High
Place in the Annals OF
Medical Discovery.


THOUSANDS of testimonials are
pouring in every day of old cases
of chronic catarrh that have re-
sisted all treatment for years, being
promptly and permanently cured by
Peruna.
These reports do not all come from
obscure places, signed by obscure peo-
pie. A large proportion Of these letters
are written by men and women promi-
nent in business and professional cir
cles and many of them well known from
ocean to ocean.
Colonel John Franklin Waters oceu-
pies a prominent position among the
leading trial lawyers of Chicago. He
has probably obtained more verdicts
against corporations in suits for personal
injuries than any man of his age In the
United States, and during his practice
of over fifteen years he has not lost d
single case in the Supreme Courts Of
Illinois and Missouri. He is q hard
worker and has the energy Of four men.
For a number of years he had been
afflicted with chronic catarrh and hav-
ing recently been thoroughly cured of
his old affection, an interview was OBJ
tanned with him by one of II reporters
In which he gave the following state
ment to the public:
