Decorations that have been hidden ■ from view for years will be brought to j light and dirt that has been accumulating as relentlessly as Interest on an overdue note will be removed ruthlessly when James H. Frye, custodian of the Federal building, and his assistant, Morton P. | Bonham, get through with the big cleanup they have planned. Plans and specifications for the work are now being prepared by the Treasury Department at Washington, which Is the big boss of all Federal buildings and as soon as these are completed contracts for the work will he let and the job will be put through as rapidly ns possible. Every year some renovating work is done on the building, but this year it will be more extensive than ever before. Never since the Federal building was occupied in September, 1905, have the walls of the corridor on the second floor of the building been cleaned or painted, j Originally the ceiling of this corridor I bad beautiful gold decorative effects to please the visitor’s expectant eyes, but for many a long year they were burled from view by the soft coal dirt of Indianapolis as effectively and completely as was ancient Pompeii by the lava from Mr. Vesuvius. DECIDE TO DELVE INTO MYSTERIES. Several months ago Mr. Frye and Mr j Bonham decided to delve into the mys teries of that ceiling and verify the ru mors that were current about the Federal building, that if the excavations could be carried far enough a lot of nifty decorative work would be brought | to light. About this time a salesman breezed in with a convincing line of sales talk about a wonedrful cleaner that would re inoTe the various layers of accumulated , dirt, even down to the 190, stratum. He was told to demonstrate. He did. and so ont of the Stygian gloom of the dirty : celling there shone forth a hright spot where the magic cleaner had done its duty. But as effective as this was ’ Assistant Custodian Bonham had a hunch that and water could do the Job equally as well. Bo be pnt several janitors at work on a pronouncedly black i spot, a short distance from the one cleaned ty the salesman. His hunch worked out 100 per cent plus, and pres ently two nice, pretty, clean spots shone ont on the ceiling where but one shone before. neriPK TO MAKE REAL JOB OF IT. These cleaning experiments proved conclusively that legends handed down from generation to generation of Federal Job holders as to the existence of gold decorations were correct, but unfori tunately they had lost their lustre in ! sixteen year*, and it was decided that I the best thing to do was to abandon the cleaning Idea and redecorate entirely, j Other renovating and redecorating to be ! done will be in the north end of the j main floor of the postoffice, practically ! the entire third floor and the second floor i with the exception of Judge Albert B. | Anderson's suite, which was redecorated i last year. For the time being nothing will be done with the law library on the sec- ! ond floor. The celling In this room is very dirty, but it is decorated with wonderfully attractive copies of emblems \of old-time publishing houses of cen--1 turies ago, and it will take the most expert work and artistic care to do this properly. Asa result. It will go over ; until some fntnre time, TOO WEAK TO WORK Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound Restored Mrs.Quinly’s Health.
