Letter to w. L. Trimblr,
Monterey, Va.

Dear Sir: New Orleans is one of
the cities hard on paint; but, new
ertheless, they paint lead-and-oil a
good deal there.
A. C. Caller painted two houses
last year for F. Hinderer; one lead
and-oil and the other Devoe. The
first is already in bad condition;
Devoe is perfect.
M. Augustin, New Orleans, has
painted his house Devoe 3 times in
Is years. This shows that Devoe
is good for six years there.
In Florida, where lead-and-oil
wears only a year, we have no
complaint of Devoe, and we know
of it's wearing ten years in several
instances. We don't say it wears
ten years, you know; there are such
instances.
"No complaint" is enough to say
till we have longtime experiences;
they're coming. Meantime, Devoe
is the paint that takes least gal
Ions, makes least bill and wears
longest. So much we're sure Of. 20
Yours truly,
F. w. DEvoE & Co.
P. S. Asst & Hager, Stanton,
Va, sell our paint.

WHY NOT?

If it were generally known and
assured that there was one patriotic
Confederate veteran of Highland
who would be willing to head a
subscription with $500 for the pur-
pose of erecting, on the court lawn
at Monterey, "a monument in mem
DRY of Highlands Confederate Dead
would the liberal proposition meet
with a second sufficiently hearty
and would there be enough supple
mental subscriptions to carry out
the laudable purpose and guaran-
tee a fitting and deserving memo
rial?
This question is propounded to
the surviving veterans, their sons
and daughters, in good faith, and,
if it should awaken any interest,
we gladly tender space in the Re-
corder to those who may desire to
express an interest onoffer any sug.
gestions. Who and how many will
respond by next issue, and how
many handsome subscriptions will
be rendered?

In approximately one hundred
years, which is the period that
marks the existence of the United
States Patent Office, about 100000
patents have been issued. This
vast aggregation ranges from "a
method for rendering pearl ashes"
down to patent numbered S96,O72,
granted August 10th, 1908, and
which is an improved means for at
taching automobile tires. This
long list comprises every concelva-
BILE construction of divers articles
from frying pans to fddles and
from locomotives to flying ma
chimes. The day of the accidental,
the occasional and the freak inven-
ton, however, is rapidly passing
as the opportunities for securing
patents on gim-cracks and Yankee
ideas are gradually lessening, as
such inventions no longer possess
the properties of being new and
useful, which are the essential ele-
ments necessary to secure apatent.

4THE POSE or POWER"

A Doctor Says Il Can Only Be OBJ
tanned by Carrying the Body, Right.
The human body is a machine-a ma
chine in some respects not unlike
watch. If you bend the watch slightly
you displace it's parts Gts organs, if you
please, and then the watch will not go
Alright. I-
The same is true Of nan. In his
body every organ has its place. If his
body is bent some or all of his vital
organs are displaced. They cannot per-
form their work, and the man, like the
watch, is out of order.
"How many of us are like that"
Well, in an examination covering sew
eral thousand people ! found less than
one in hundred who was right. Nine
ty-nine people out of a hundred have
displaced organs.
| may add that l have never found
disease in any organ that was habitual-
" carried in its normal place. The or
gan always becomes displaced before
It becomes diseased.
And what is the cause of this uni
versal displacement? In a word, the
cause is a. bad method of holding the
body in standing, in sitting. walking
about and lying down. The trunk is
merely a flexible, hollow cylinder in
side of which the organs are supported,
each in It's place. When, however, the
body is bent and collapsed, as In most
people, the organs drop out of their
places and are crowded against each
other. They are then unable to do their
work, and thus they becoKIe diseased.
Every Gaze of chronic Indigestion
which / have ever examined has had
stomach that was hanging from two to
five inches lower than its right position
"a condition known to medical men as
gastroptosis.
And the rare man who holds his
body Alright in standing, walking or sit
ting, such a man is always a man OF
power. Cromwell was man of this
type. So were Napoleon, Washington
and Bismarck.
"And how shall restore my organs
to proper position?" asks one of the
ninety-nine.
By so developing the body that it is
at all times erect, uplifted and expand
ed. This will draw each organ into the
position in which it can do its best
work. A glance at the pictures Of the
men | have mentioned viii show you
what mean.
AS to practical methods, take the fol-
lowing exercise for five minutes four
or five times day:
Place the feet together, arms at sides,
head back, chest up and forward, alb
domen in, knees back, weight on balls
of feet-"the position of a soldier"
Throw the weight as far forward as
you can. Hold the position from half
to one minute, then relax. Repeat the
exercise from six to twelve times.
Add to this reasonable habits Of liy'
ing, and in three months you will have
gone far toward gaining the pose OF
power.-Dr. Latson in Chicago Journal.

Qhsuss OF uopks

Heretofore Virginia has had the
multiple list" of School books
every county has different set OF
books from every other county, in
theory if not in fact. The present
State Board last spring adopted q
single list for the whole State
every county must hereafter use
the same text books. Some OF the
old books have been left on the
new list. In changing from the
old to the new some counties must
make more changes than others, be
cause all have had different sets II
books in use.
Supt. Eggleston favored 7-year
adoption but the Board voted for
the usual four year contract with
the publishers. Text book changes
are necessary, at times, to keep
pace with modern methods, but
adoptions ought to be made for
seven, eight or ten years.
There is one redeeming feature
about the "change." All school
books, without a single exception
mot counting set texts) have been
reduced in price. School books
will cost considerably less during
the next four years than they have
cost during the past. They never
have been as cheap as they are
now. Let the people congratulate
themselves on this fact. For ,ex-
ample: Maury's Manual of Geog-
raphy" cost S1.15. Frye's "Higher
Geography" will cost but SO cents
And so on down the line.
Text books on Agriculture, Men
tai Arithmetic, English History
and Morals and Manners have been
adopted for use in public schools.
A list of the adopted books ought
to suggest to any teacher what
qualifications are required for first
class teachers. Supplementary
books in Reading and History are
included in the State list for use
as the teacher may direct.

POCAHONTAS ITEMS.
Messenger.

The writer noticed hundreds OF
dead suckers along both sides OF
the river below Marlinton Wednes-
of this week, killed, no doubt, by
the foul water escaping into the
rive by the breaking of the settling
pool at the tannery Monday night.
Several persons report seeing a
number of small bass lying dead
along the river.
Two prisoners made their escape
from jail here Tuesday afternoon
by hooking the key to the cells
from the wall of the jail with a long
piece of wire and letting themselves
out. One was captured and
brought back to Jail. Thef other
escaped into Virginia and has since
been captured and is now in Jail
over there and the officers are
awaiting requisition papers to
bring him back.

BRITISH CONS0LS.
Origin and History of This Feature OF
English Securities.

Origin and History of This Feature OF
English Securities.
Almost all the debt Of England con-
sists of the funded debt, so called, and
the greater part of this is made up OF
"consols," which Is an abbreviation OF
consolidated stocks" of which we
read every day in the papers, and the
price Of consols Is the financial pulse
Of England.
Consols were created in 1852 by stat
ute rs Of George H., chapter e. But
no scrap Of paper ever represented a
consol until, to facilitate commerce, In
1870 a statute was passed allowing the
government to issue certificates to rep
resent them. The property that all the
world asked the price of every day was
unrepresented by any monetary securi-
ties until 1870, and even now very Few
certificates have been issued.
Now, this Is consol, and this is Its
history: Originally some one had loan
ed the government f100, and the gov
eminent had caused his name to be en-
rolled on its books as a creditor, from
whom it had received that amount
and to whom some day 1t might, If 1t
chose, repay it. 1t need never do So
but until 1t did 1t must pay him an an
nuity of f3-that is, he received 3 per
cent on his money as long as the gov
ernment chose to keep 1t, but the gov
eminent could pay it back at any
time 1t chose to do so. This creditor
then owned consol-that is, he owned
such a debt from the government as
Just described.
If he wished to transfer what rights
he habitat is, his per cent per an.
num--and the right to his f10o when,
If ever. the government chose to return
It, he could 60 to the Bank Of England
with his transferee and receive the
purchase price from him, and the stock
would be transferred to the man pay
ing the consideration, and that mans
name would be placed on the govern
ments book In the place of the for
mer owner, and thereafter the trans
fierce would receive the f3 year and
the f10O, If 1t was ever paid back. But
no paper passed except the receipt for
the purchase money which was given
by the buyer and which the bank OFF,
cial checked with red mark.
These receipts were not certificates
of ownership and were seldom pre-
served, never except for purposes of
identification when the new owner
went to draw his first dividend. After
that they were destroyed. 1t is true In
old times the owner Of consol was
given tally, which was nothing but
block Of wood with notches on 1t split
In two so that portion of each notch
should be on each half, and the gov
ernment kept one half and the owner
Of the stock the other.
These showed the state of the &C.
count between the government and its
creditor, but this was an Anticipated
system Of keeping accounts, brought
down from the days when writing was
little known, and at last they were
abolished by act of parliament and
burned. There were so many of them
that when they were thrown into the
furnaces these became superheated,
and the, parliament houses burned
down, which perhaps served the au-
thorities right for keeping the anti
Quated system so long.
