Letter to Mr.. G. W. Nickcson
Hillsboro, Ohio.

Dear Sir: Porterhouse, so much :
neck, so much; all the way between.
Just so with paint. Devoe lead-and'
zinc is the porterhouse. Nobody wants
the neck; the between, some say, is
good enough for them.
But Devoe cost less, not more than
between. Lead-and. oil Is between; 1t
is the old-fashioned paint. But zinc
has come in. Zinc toughens white
lead. Devoe lead-and-zinc is the
paint that wears twice as long as
lead-and-oil.
Mr.. John N. Deitel, Fair Havens, N.
Y, writes:
"Mr. Charles Hallenbeck, of this
place, painted mis- house, three years
ago with Devoe lead-and-zinc; his
father painted at the same time with
lead-and.oil. To-day the sons house
looks as we'll as the day it was paint
ed, while the fathers has all chalked
off and needs painting very badly.
The father SAYS he will lpaint with
Devoe next time"
Yours truly,
F. W. DEvoE l. Co,
New York and Chicago.

 If the Pioneers win their game next Sunday they will clinch the leadership of the Junior amateur league. Although the schedule really ends next Sunday there are few postponed games to be played. The Pioneers have only one game remain ing. and as they are likely to put that on ice, there Is every reason to be- lieve they will receive the S75 which goes to the winner. A meeting of the managers of the league is scheduled to be held this evening.
 There was almost a commOtiOn in a place of business in Brooklyn Saturday over the voting machines which are to be used ill the coming municipal election. In order to have the voters familiar with the machines miniature types of the original are ill various parts of the city So that the voters can see how they are worked. On Saturday a group of men inter- ested in the political situation were looking over the machine and devis- ing means ito beat" it when sud- denly one was sure that he thought of plan which would do" the in strument. There was no little excite ment, as the man for few moments convinced the others that what he said was true. But it did not take a newcomer who knew the machine very long to knock the bottom ont of the scheme which they thought would be a winner.

CONCERTS AT PARK
Trolley Managers May Put Up
 Money For One or Two.

e 4 J 2
 Commissioner Dennison of the board of public works, who has been feeling the railroad company regard ing free concerts In Hamilton park has received assurances from A. P. Smith, genearl traffic manager of the road, that the company will stand half the cost of one or two concerts to be given by the American band. This puts 1t up to the city and 1t now remains to be seen whether the of fcials want to spend any more for that purpose. While MT Smith didn't say so, 1t would appear from the tone of his letter if the company re- alizes enough on car fares from the concerts they will do better later on. In any case 1t shows they are willing to do something towards entertain- ing the public and it Is likely that the concerts will be given no matter where the rest of the money comes from. The city has no appropria- tion for concerts, the two that have been given taking all there was for that sort of thing, but who knows but the band or some public spirited citizens may come forward and put up $50 so that we may hear some more music at the park.

Burton H. Mattoon of Watertown, who was sentenced to a term of not less than three years, nor more than eight years, in prison, in 1904 for embezzlement, was released Saturday and went at once to his family in Watertown. He has served few months more than three years.
 MT Mattoon, who had been a mem- Der of the state senate. was treasurer of the Watertown Savings bang and also treasurer of the town in which it was located. Early in the winter of 1904 it was rumored that his ac- counts were involved and an investi- gation was made, which closed the doors of the bank and caused the ar rest of Mir Mattoon. His conviction followed. His family remained in Watertown during his term of im- prisonment.

GIRLS DO NOT EAT ENOUGH.
Neither Do They Take Athletic Ex.
 ercise Enough. ..--

No wonder there are so many ner- vous breakdowns among girls and women employed in down town stores and offices. I think the principal reason, says a Workers Magazine contributor, is because they fail to eat proper food and enough of 1t.
 Imagine young woman whose work is a bookkeeper trying to sub sist on a ham sandwich, piece of pickle, order of pie, and glass of iced tea. Her work is trying on her nerves, to say the least, and yet she will go from noon until maybe 2 o'clock on the above mentioned meal, & How she expects to keep up is mystery. She cannot expetc to have anything except a sallow con- plexion, lack luster eyes, and a list less expression. If the girls would only eat the good wholesome food that they can get for the same price and forego the tea and coffee they would be hundred per cent better off.
 There is no doubt but that improp- CT food and lack of exercise are the chief causes of nervous prostra- tion" among the downtown workers. Some few years ago girl would think nothing of walking distance of three or four miles to work in the morning and then walk home, but now they will board a stuffy car to ride a distance of a few blocks. The difference: The girl who walked was better in health, looks, and has more ambition and interest in life. The girl to-day is endowed with a sallow complexion and little ambi- tion,
