A Nasty Practice.

A nasty practice Is what the Chicago Inter Ocean calls the pasting of repeated layers of wall paper, one upon another, thus covering up the filth and germs of disease that may be propagated in the very absorbent and decaying mass of flour paste, paper, animal glue, colors, etc. They give opinions of eminent health officers and sanitarians, urging that such practice should be stopped by legal enactment, and also take occasion to say that these sanitarians recommend Alabastlne as a durable, pure and sanitary coating for walls. The Inter Ocean says: “This is a very Important question, and. as it costs nothing to avoid this danger, why take any chances?” How much of the alarming spread •f smallpox and other diseases may be due to unsanitary wall coverings?
