The Tldioute News was thirty-three years old on Washington's birthday, the paper having been' guided almost this entire tbi of a century by the present owner .Tmarles E. White, who says, like Washington, It has never told a lie hardly ever which we guess Is no lie either.

And we wish for it a conlinuancesof fair weather and smooth sallin Tberejrfr bill before the legislature known A3 the Nurse Registration bill, which ttlould be put promptly to sleep. It provlles for the registration of nurses before jney can enter upon their duties as such, and places the matter In the bands of a few nurses who may accept or reject applicants for registry. In other words the bill seeks to create a nurse monopoly. A schedule of rates is provided in the bill, which practically puts the question of nurse hire out ol the reach of those lu ordinary circumstances. Surely the leg islature has belter sense than to impose such a measure on the people.

All previous attempts have only pro duced a small Bour apple covered with a very thick prickly skin very much re sembling a chestnut burr. The result that has so long been looked for has been accomplished at last by grafting the top limbs of the Baldwin apple tree upon the lower branches of a second growth chest nut and must be done while the moon Is full.

Dkak Sir: It is a great thing for a merchant to have the exclusive sale (In his region, of course) of anything wanted by everybody. There are two ways to treat such goods. Oue is: put the price up and make big profit. The other way is be fair and make more. Devoe is the paint that takes least gal lons and costs least money a house, a job, a year, a lifetime no matter how you reckou your. costs, axcept by tho gallou Dovoo is tho best euro-taker and costs least money. Don't forgot that the priuciiml part of the cost of paint is putting it on. Losm gallons, less cost. Don't forgot that an other principal part of economy is long wear; less gallons, less cost and long wear. It is a groat thiug to have the exclusive sale of popular goods, of goodti that make friends, of goods that enrich both buynr and seller. Devoe Is perhaps only ton per cent, better than one or two others; but ten is a plenty It's 200 or 300 better than many. There's many a merchant who hasn't found-out his goods. It doesn't take a man long to find-out that Devoe is the least-money paint and why, no matter which side he is on. Yours truly, 14 F..W. Dkvok fe Co., New York. P. 8. Dunn A, Fulton sell our paint.
