WANT PLOTKIN AS
 COMMISSIONER IN CASE WILSON RESIGNS

Fifth District Democrats, Monday night, unanimously endorsed Attorney Samuel B. Plotkin as the successor to Commissioner Lynn w. Wilson in the event of the lstter's resignation from the Board of Education. Attor- ney Ploelzin is a former member of the board, but was removed by the Legislature when the personnel of the board was decreased to eight mem bers. The name of Mrs. William T. Hincks previously had been promin- ently mentioned as Commissioner Wilson's prospective successor.
 TIhe district politicians in addition went on record as unanimously favor ing change in the manner in which new candidates will be selected in the future to fill vacancies on any 1nuni- cipal board or commission. They fla vor that the candidates be selected by the voters of the district which was the residence of the retiring board member, and then referred to the town committee for endorsement. In the past, it has been the practice for the members of the board in which the vacancy occurs to name the new member themselves.

OLD AGE. HIS MARK:

Oliver Wendell Holmes, in the charming discourses of 'The Professor at the Breakfast Table" refers to an unmistakable sign of old age. It is three parallel lines between the brows. We can detect the first traces of dis ease by signs just as plain
 When a woman suffers from back ache, nervous depression, dragging down pains, and those ailments pecu- liar to women. it is plain that she needs a woman's medicine. What other medicine could she more wisely resort to than Lydie E. Pinkham' s Vegetable Compound, which for half a century has proved the natural re- storative for these troubles ?-Adv.

Beauty Chats
DEVELOPING THE ARMS.
By EDNA KENT FORBES.

There is one way to develop the arms, and that is by exercise. Of course, if you are too fat. a reduction to proper weight will bring the arms to better proportions. If you are loo thin by gaining flesh you will make the arms more shapely. But if you are within ten pounds of your proper weight and have not beautiful arms. the only thing for you to do is to exercise.
 If you will play tennis almost every day next Summer, I can practically promise you well rounded. firm musc1ed, attractive arms at the end of the season. If you do not want to wait until next Summer as you gymnasium work, with dumbbells. In- dian clubs and paraphernaHa like that.
 If you have no gym and cannot make up class of enthusiasts among your friends, you can do wonders by : yourself, if you will practice a few exercises every day.
 First, stand with the arms straight : out in front of you and the fists clencfed draw back the hands to the resisting yourself as much as possl- ble. This is splendid for the arms. Repeat it 20 times. Do it again hold ing the arms out at each side and : drawing them back to the shoulders. Do this 20 times.
 And do not despise housework. ,. There is an enormous mount of beau ' ty exercise to be gotten out of ouSe- work, if 1t is 1ntel1igently and ener- Eetically done. Sweeping for 2 in stance, is not only good for the arms, but for the shoulders as well, if you stand fairly straight while using the | broom.
 Redhead-As your skin is so oily, YOU will not be likely to overdo the use of benzoin. The amount of ben zoin to be used depends upon it's a'c- the water becomes milky with a drop or two, you have attained the proper proportions While benzoin is an excellent atringent, it also has ten tiency to make a dry skin more dry. $ But it would have to be used to ex- cess before it would produce this ef- feet.
 your mother feels about it, whether or not you should put up your hair. As YOU are above the average size for 16 years you could be wearing your hair in a coil. But the way you have been arranging it around your face will be your most becoming choice, whether it is confined with a barette and hanging loosely, or done up in the back.

st. Paul Convertible 4lIss

Question have seven convertible -

billy. A writer In "rhe Wall Street Maya
zine" rates the bonds and stocka In the
other bonds7 I want the principal to grow
by shortncss of maturity and tho current
return | am not so much concerned about
Answer-Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul is burdened with large funded
debt, which was chiefly incurred by ex-
pepsive additions and improvements to
property. The benefits accruing from
these expenditures should increase as
time progresses. We believe that St.
Paul, once it is safely past the Difficult
ties which are now confronting most
railroad companies, will be in a better
position to meet maturing obligations
| in 1882 than it will be in 1925,
for instance, assuming, of course, that
there will be no recurrence of the
| hardships that have been common to
all roads in the last three years. In
spite Of our optimism over St. Paul,
however, there is, in our opinion, de-
cided element of uncertainty in the
convertible a As. With the 1889 900
debenture As, due 1884; the $48,176,55b
IIuIopedH lodH @S, que lJLO, ana Jne
$72,219,800 outstanding general and re-
funding AIS and convertible 5s, due
2014, the convertible AIS are a first
lien upon TIT miles of track, second
lien on 6,707 miles and a third lien on
2,484 miles. A provision is made in the
general and refunding mortgage to re-
tire the convertible ANS. Both the
convertible AIS and the general and
refunding issues are legal for savings
banks in New York, Connecticut and
other states. At a price of 65, at
which these bonds recently sold, the
yield to maturity would be about 9.5
per cent. We doubt whether you could
invest the proceeds from the sale of
your bonds to yield as high a return
and at the same time gain better Sc
curity. We are not sure that we un-
derstand you when you say that you
want the principal to grow by short
ness of maturity" If by that you
mean that you want low coupon bond
which is now selling at a heavy dis
count because of high money rates, we
suggest the Baltimore & Ohio prior
lien 3hs, due 1925, selling recently at
85A.

wise the woman in question that neither
OF the stocks has any standing what
ever as an investment, and that if she
desires to speculate in oils she should
be careful that the game is not rugged
against her. She should not touch a
speculative stock which has no
market We would not advise YOU
TO sell your French Republic IS, due
l945. We think that the Baltimore 4
Ohio secured 6 per cent bonds, due
1929, contain an element of specula-
ton, in that the Baltimore G. Ohio is
one of the weaker roads which the
transportation act was intended to ben
eft but has failed to do as yet, al
though at present there appears to be
some Improvement. If you cannot af-
ford to take the risk involved, we would
suggest that you sell the Baltimore &
