PREVENTING PAINT TROUBLES.

It's easy enough TO recognize the
symptoms of poor paint, after it has
been on awhile-after its inherent
tendency TO crack and peel and scale
and blister, etc. has developed into
trouble. You know these paint dis
eases usually indicate adulteration
or substitution in the paint materials
And you know the only remedy is re
painting.
A little knowledge of paint and
painting requirements, and how to
made sure Of the purity and quality
Of materials, would prevent all trou-
bic, and save the big extra expense Of
re-painting; just as proper knowl

servance Of them, prevents sickness.

Game Not to Be Butchered.
Even II the British colonial govern

Roosevelt and his companions the At

troll, the ex.president will refuse to
take advantage of this opportunity.
Like other true sportsmen. he believes
that the utmost protection should be
given to wild animals on reservations
and that permission to kill them
should not be given or accepted under
any circumstances unless, possibly,
when predatory animals are becoming
too numerous.
Moreover, the killing of animals for
sport is not the main object of his trip.
Mr. Roosevelt hopes to send back to
the Smithsonian institution two adult

victims, made a good haul at some
time Wednesday, entering the
apartments of two school teachers,
Miss NJ. NJ. Hecker and Mrs. Mar

miscreants got two rings, a dia-

The two ladies had left the house
to attend their schools. Miss Mary
Hecker teaches at the Grant school
and Mrs. Mccoy at the Myrtle

to their home until a late hour last
night, since after school both
ladies went to lectures at various
places in the city and ate their
