Your New Home o rWpfJj should be made artistic, sanitary and livable. These walls should be Alabastined in the latest, up-to-the-minute nature color tints. Each room should reflect your own individuality and the treatment throughout be a complete perfect harmony in colors. The walls of the old home, whether mansion or cottage, can be made just as attractive, just as sanitary, through the intelligent use of .JOabKHnt Instead of kalsomine or wallpaper How much better, when you have a new home, to /tart right than to have to correct errors afterward from former treatment with other materials, when you come to the use of Alabastine, as does nearly every one sooner or later. Once your walls are Alabastined you can use any material over it should you desire, but having used Alabastine you will have no desire foe any other treatment. Alabastine is so easy to mix and apply — so lasting in its results— -so absolutely sanitary — and so generally recognized as the proper decorative material in a class by itself that it is becoming difficult to manufacture fast enough to supply the demand. Alabastine is a dry powder, put up in five-pound packages, white and beautiful tints, ready to mix and use by the —— addition of cold water, and with full directions ==—e= mixinone on eac h package.

SEEKS FOE OF JAP BEETLE Specialist Has Been Detailed to Briflg to This Country Enemy of Horticultural Pest. The Japanese beetle is going to have Its old enemies on Its trail in this country. The United States department of agriculture has sent a man to Japan to find those enemies and send them across the ocean. They will Mhen be established In the sections of New Jersey where the beetle has gained a foothold, and they are expected to aid greatly in the control of the pest. The agent employed in Japan Is familiar with Japanese conditions and is a specialist in this kind of work It is expected that the task will require his sojourn in Japan for two or three years. While something is kno'yn of the parasites of the Japanese beetle a great deal Is still to be learned] only under field conditions where the beetle lives with all the enemies] that prey upon It. The beetle reached this country with Importations of greenhouse plants, and Wvus far apparently has been comparatively free from molestations by natural enemies. — Cruel Comment •‘Mr. Jobbs says he would dl|e for me.” "He can’t He hasn’t got hair enough.” A pretty girl doesn’t fully appreciate her beauty unless some one is constantly reminding her of it.

GOT MARK TWAIN STIRRED UP Humorist, Tired of Listening to Series of Remarkable Stories, Rose to the Occasion. A naval officer said at a banquet in New York; ** ‘Boys, these feats of yours that remind me of Mark Twain. Mark, you know, once sat In the smoking room of a steamer and listened for an hour or two to some remarkable lies. Then he drawled: “'Boys, these feats of years that you’ve been telling about recall an adventure of my own in Hannibal. There was a fire In Hannibal one night, and old man Hankinson got caught In the fourth story of the burning house. It looked as If he was a goner. None of the ladders was long enough to reach him. The crowd stated at one another with awed eyes. Nobody could think of anything to do. Then all of a sudden, boys, an idea occurred to me. “Fetch me a rope!” I yelled. Somebody fetched a rope, and with great presence of mind I flung the end of it :up to the old man. “Tie her round your waist!” I yelled. Old man Hankinson did so and I pulled him down.’ ” No Longer. “How long do you suppose a young married couple could live on love?” “As long as it lasts, I imagine.” Instead of sending a friend on a fool’s errand, go yourself. ,

The grocers assert they are selling below cost, some saying they paid sll a twobushel bag, and that, with shrinkage, they have no margin left on potatoes at $5.40 a bushel. Lafayette—Lack of labor on farms In Indiana is attributed by the Purdue university agricultural extension department to high wages paid in cities, it being asserted that residents of the United States are showing that they demand, automobiles, musical Instruments, jewelry, fine clothing and other manufactured articles more than they wish food.

I was run down with female trouble and was not able to do anything, could not walk for a year and could not work. I had treatment from a physician but did not gain. I read in the papers and books about Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and decided to try it The first few bottles gave me relief and I kept on using it until I got better and was able to do my work.
