BOYS MAY BE PUNISHED
The Tobacco Habit Must Cease
Among The Youngsters.

At the meeting of the city council
Tuesday evening the matter of boys
smoking cigarettes and cigars, as well
as pipes, along the streets, and in
public places was brought up, the
matter having been called to the at
tention of the city fathers by many
different people. Boys in short pants,
and others scarcely into their teens
are given to the tobacco habit to as
great an extent in many cases as the
older men, and parents are too often
careless of the results.
In this connection it is well to
know the provisions of the Dana
chowski bill which recently passed
the assembly and was concurred in
Monday by the senate This bill pro-
vides fine of not more than $40 or
imprisonment not to exceed thirty
days for any one under 16 years old
found smoking or using cigarettes,
cigars or tobacco on any public street,
road or alley, or park, or in any public
place OF business or amusement. 1t
also provides that any one permitting
such persons to use tobacco in any
form, on any premises occupied by
him, shall be punished for the first
offense, by a fine not to exceed S25
and subsequent effenses not to exceed
$50, or by Imprisonment for not more
than thirty days.
1t was stated at this meeting that
while there had been a good deal of
complaint in the past regarding
minors drinking and frequenting
saloons, that the police were watch
ing this matter very closely, and that
the saloon keepers were cooperating.

Letter to Brazeau Mercantile Co.
NEKOOSA. Wis.

Gentlemen: When you see a we'll
dressed man, you like to say: "There'S
a sample of my clothes. That man is
worth two of himself as he was when
he came to me-"
We have the same feeling. Our
paint on house is worth twice as
much as old fashion painters paint,
lead-and-oil. 1t looks the same when
first put on. In three months il
DOM. In three years it decidedly
don't.
Lead-and-oil chalks off in three
years: it is considered a tirst-rate job
that lasts three years.
DevOe ad-and-zinc is as good in
three years as it was the day the
painter left it.
Zinc is the secret of it: no secret at
all. A good many painters know
zinc; some mix it in with their lead.
We grind it in: not little: good deal.
It's the zinc and the grinding that
does it. You can't mix zinc by hand.
We grind it in by machinery.
Painters are finding US out, though
some painters are slow.
You know that it pays good man
to wear good clothes. How many
customers have you that know it.
Yours truly
f. W. DEvOE & Co.
New York and Chicago.
A. II. Kleberg sells our paint.

RESOLUTIONS OF COINCIDENCE

LIBRARY COMMITTEE.
Oxford Democrat. [volume] (Paris, Me.) 1833-1933, 1907-10-08
THE CARE OF LIVESTOCK.

If the testimony Of great numbers OF
the readers of The New-York Tribune
Farmer is a fair basis for the formation
of correct opinion, then what is known
as it's Veterinary Department Is every
where esteemed highly. 1t is, however,
more than veterinary department.. DR..
G. ID. Smead, who has had charge OF it
for more than five years, every week an
swers very many questions in regard TO
every variety of livestock known on the
American farm, not alone prescribing
medicine and treatment, but telling how
the diseases might have been prevented,
and laying down specific rules for feed
and care in health, in sickness and in
convalescence. Every farmer keeps
some livestock-good veterinarians are
scarce.
Each inquirer Is fully answered, but
DIR. Smead goes far beyond this; he be-
lieves that any information which one
intelligent farmer needs is also needed
by hundreds and thousands Of Others,
and he often so broadens his answer as
to make il a complete essay on the sub
ject discussed. A year or two ago Mr..
b. Walker McKeen, of Fryeburg, Me-,
said in meeting of farmers that valu-
able horse had been attacked with dis
ease of which he had known nothing
until he had recently read of it in The
New-York Tribune Farmer; what DR..
Smead had taught him enabled him to
save his horse. Another farmer arose
and said he had had similar experience.
Five or six hundred dollars saved in one
town by one copy of the paper! c. C..
Waller, NJ. D., of North Troy, Vt, writes
to DR.. Smead, under date of April 23:
81 desire to express my gratitude to you
through The New-York Tribune Farmer,
and to say that l regard you as the most
able, practical and thoroughly safe
writer of the present age, and to express
my hope that you may live to serve the
farmer and our dumb friends for many
years to come"
The regular price of the New-York
Tribune Farmer is One Dollar year,
but we will send it with The Oxford
Democrat, both papers one year for
