'fceeeuse ot the rUlti of th king tt the Boliiui ud the Prince of Wales, vu the occasion for issuance try the National Oographlo Society 'ot the following bulletins concerning
the President hornet ..
The "open house" , of Jackson end
Jefferson, neediest to say. was in oon
trast to the more stately retime ot John Adams, ; tirst occupant of the White House, to the brilliant hut more
discriminating entertainments of OoUf
Madison's salon, and to tnewani
little dinners", of ; the naturally exclusive Van Buren. '-' ' - '-T v
Mrs. Monroe established some' social precedents which are M binding today In the Sixteenth street drawing
rooms as - is her husband's famous
doctrine In the senate chamber. The
ubloultous Dolly Madison set a hard
pace tor her successors to travel. Her
personal charm was unaeniaoie. u she rouged, writes on observing lady, she did It so delicately that none could
he sure, and ."she snuffa,'' obserres
another, "but In her hands the snuff
box seems only a gracious implement
with which to charm.. - Truly, to para
phrase an artist, she mixed her rouge and her snuff with brains .. and to this
Indefinable "charm she added activIdea so strenuous that the White
'House scarcely saw .her equal until
Roosevelt entered It,
' For her s el t-Dro taction. Mrs. Monroe
made the rule that the "first lady ot
the land need return no calls, nor
must be exnected to make any. Mrs.
Monroe and : her dashing daughter,
Mrs. Hay, also had a part In the decis
ion that It was not proper tor a president to call at a.foralcn embassy.
The Monroes not only laid the foundations for White House social cus
toms but they began Its furnishing, an evolutionary process which Is modified
by every mistress ot tne- mansion. Moved to- Oetaaon- House,
After their official home had been burned by the British -In 1814, the
Madisons moved for the- rest of "Jen
ny's" term to the -home of Colonel Taylor, better known a the Octagon house, which still Is a Washington
landmark. ......
The 1814 Invaders of the national capital, not being Huns, destroyed
only public buildings did that for mili
tary reasons and -had specific orders
not to loot. They partook ot the din
ner already . prepared at . the White
House, but before they did so Admiral
Cockburn drank -the health ot Presi
dent Madleoa.
In ore-war days. When the White
House was accessible . to Blghtseers,
an object of special Interest was the portrait of George Washington, now In . the Red room known; as the "Lans-
down Stuart," because it Is a copy ot
an original pointing done for the marouis of iAnedowne. Mrs. Madison had
this portrait rut:, from Its frame and
Intrusted It to the care of friends for
safe keeping; while she went to Vir
ginia to Join ber.vhusbana. it was shown to the prince of Wales when-he
called at the. White House.
When the White House was rebuilt the walls were intact, in part, but they had to be painted to hide the charred
surfaces. So originated, first as
nickname, the- designation, "White
House" by which the mansion later
was officially known. j
The original structure; was the first official building;' In ',, Washington;. George Washington .' was authorised to 'Select a site; because he had' been a surveyor, but. sentiment, rather than topography, is thought to have determined his choice; forthe south windows of the White .House overlooked the Potomac toward his beloved Mt. Vernon. Washington did not live in the White House. He :3?;, said to have walked through the rooms a short time
before his death.; John- Adams; its-
first occupants thought It ought -to
have been nearer the. capitoL Mrs. Adams wrote, in 1M0, that "the river, which runs up to Alexandria, Is In full view of my window; and I see the vessels pass and repass." t" Prize Offered for a Plan. But that is ahead of the story. When a site was selected a prize was offered, in 1792 ,of ' 500. or a gold

medal, for - a plan. ' Captain James Hoban, a native of Ireland and a rest dent of Charleston,- B. C, ,. won the contest, with a design similar to that of the family seat of the dukes of
Llnster, Dublin. Fortunately. Hoban
was alive when the work of rebuilding
was undertaken after the fire of 1814, and. when the structure was completed again, In 1818, it more nearly followed the original plans. Moreover, when the present wings, one for executive
offices, and the other for a publio
entrance corridor, were added In 1903, further features contained" In the Hoban designs were Included.
scarcely a congress came and went
for- halt a century without an attack
upon toe alleged, extravagant expenditures for the president's home. . The cost ot reconstruction came in for the customary criticism, Hoban, as archi
tect, was paid at the rate of $1,600 a
year; tne den of the woncers received $4 a day. and. the overseer $2 a day. - - v - 1 - - v "?
By the time of President Monroe's
inauguration the executive . mansion was ' rebuilt, but not furnished. - Mr. Monroe had nurchased valuable fur
nlture for his private home while he
was in mis. This he sold to tne gov
ernment: - it was transferred to the
White House for his use there, and
he was authorised to buy other pieces for the official rooms. The idea of campaign .orator that
the president's home was "a place as splendid as that of the Baesars, and as ziohly adorned as the proudest
Aalatlo mansion, hardly found
echo from Its early occupants, especially the ladles of presidential fami
lies.
Mrs. John Adams, first mistress of
the mansion, wrote of her new abode: I , The -lighting- of the apartments, from the kitchen to parlors , and chambers. Is a tax Indeed; and the Ores we are obliged to keep to secure us from dally agues is another very cheering comfort. To assist us in this great castle. "and render less at
tendance necessary, bells are wholly
wanting, not one single one being
hung through the whole house, and
promises are all you can obtain.
This is so great an inconvenience.
that I do not know what to do, nor
how to do. If they will put me up some bells and let me have wood
enough to keep fires, I design to be pleased. I could content myself al
most, anywhere three months; out, surrounded with forests, can you be
lieve that wood is not to be had, because people can not be found to cut
and cart It. We have not the least
fence, yard, or other convenience.

As the skin tends to expand I a warm atmosphere, cheeks and chin to sag and wrinkles to form, a good astringent lotion should be used by the woman who keeps pretty much Indoors thCse dsys. Dissolve one ounce of pure powdered saxollte In one-halt pint of witch hazel. Bathe the face in this omlly particularly before receiving .guests, or before going out for theatre, dance or other social affairs. The lotion, which ot course is perfectly harmless, gives almost immediate results, erasing wrinkles and smoothing out the flabby skin most remarkably. The face is wonderfully refreshed and rejuvenated in appearance. Be sure to ask the druggist for the powdered saxotite. Adv. .
Is Acid-Stomach
Sapping Your StrengitE?
Have you any Idea of the great number of ailments that are directly traceable to AcideHomach? Few people have. When they are bilious, have severe headache, or an attack of indigestion, rheumatism, lumbago or sciatica; or when they begin to feel run down and are nervous and mentally depressed: or have dizzy spells, vertigo and pains around tne heart little do they think it may have its origin in an AcidStomach, v You know how it is with acid-mouth how the acid which is created as a result of fermentation of particles of food lodged around the gums, literally eats through the enamel of the teeth and causes them to decay. How, then, can anyone ' expect to "feel right" when Acid-Stomach is making digestion more and more difficult, causing food to sour and ferment in the intestinal tract, filling the system with poisons? And then there are thousands -yes, millions of people who, without having any well defined: ailment, are always comp.aining. They can't say exactly what is the matter with them. All they can tell yon is that they "don't feel right," are "all in, tired, sickly.'1 Is it any wonder that there are so many people who, while not downright sick, show plainly in face, figure and action that they are anything bnt well? They are despondent, weak, listless, unfit. Aches and pains in practically
every part of the body. Lacking in physical strength and mental vigor. Little or no inclination to be op and doing. Just dragging oat a weary existence. A wonderful remedy now makes It possible to get rid of Acid-Stomach without the slightest discomfort. It Is called EATONIC a compound in tablet fur in- good to eat like candy. E ATONIC brings amazingly auick relief front bloat,heartburn, belobing , lood-repeatin f ,sour , gassy stomach and the pains of indigestion. It makes the stomach cool and comfortable ' keeps it sweet and strong. Yon can eat what you like and digest your food in oomfort without fear ot distressing after effects. It puts you on the road to bounding, rigorous, vibrant health. Thousands upon thousands ot people who have used it are enthusiastic in its praise.

R O O FI N G When property owners finally learn to "sit up and look" at the roof in its true light a long step will have been taken toward conservation, both in material and money. It is dollars to doughnuts that the idea which this advertisement seeks to bring out will be new to the majority of those who read it. . Ordinarily one repairs a roof to protect the contents of a building. This is all right as far as it goes, but when you actually come to think about it a leaky roof is the destroyer of the superstructure itself, a menace both to contents and the building it, covers.
