THE ART.OTIC WALL.
FADED TO A SHADOW.
One of Solid Color Will Always Give
Best Effect.
The dearest, daintiest, most artistic
irall Is a solid colored wall. It fur-
nishes a perfect background for all
kinds of pictures, It throws them out
in their correct proportions, and does
not' detract from their artistic value.
The solid colored wall Is also much
better as a background for furniture,
and harmonizes much more artistical-
ly with carpets and rugs than any
other method of wall treatment. The
less breaking up of color on a wall
the more artistic it is.
The most successful form of the
■olid colored wall is an alabastlned
wall. There Is as much difference be-
tween tinted walls, as there is be-
tween shoddy and all-wool gowns. The
shoddy gown holds Its color for a few
days, while the all-wool koeps its color
to the very last thread, so also in solid
colored walls, there are shoddy walls
and permanently colored walls which
retain their color down to the very
last particle. The ideal wall coating
never rubs off, never flakes'nor chips
off and is always ready for a fresh
coat. If there is wallpaper on the
wall, soak It off with warm water,
then go over the plaster after you
have removed the paper with warm
water to remove every trace of paste.
Have the wall thoroughly clean for a
clean wall cannot be built on an un-
clean foundation. If there are any
particles of foreign matter adhering
to the wall scrape them off with \
putty knife. Then If there are any
dlscoloratlons on the wall, size It with
a material made from cheap varnish,
thinned down with benzine and Japan
added for a drier, then cover your
wall with your tinting material.
He sure your man uses a tinting ma-
terial mixed with cold water. If he
comes to you and asks for warm wa-
ter, you can make up your mind that
there is glue In the material whirh he
proposes to put on your wall, and you
can be certain that you are going to
have a shoddy wall, for glue means
Ehoddy. Glue means that it will hold
its color long enough for the man to
collect his bill and not much longer.
Insist on your tinting material being
mixed with clear, cold water. Re sure
that your wall is made from pure ma-
terials, then you will have a perma-
nent, artistic, sanitary wall. A wall
that, will be a "thing of beauty and a
Joy forever."
CLEARED HIMSELF OF BLAME.
Explanation of Politician That Sure-
ly Was Convincing.
A recent Incident in Australia Is re-
lated as showing how watchful a poli-
tician must be in this censorious age.
Among other accounts of a deadhead
nature on the books of the \\>< tralla
railway was one setting forTn that
Miss Peacock had been franked over
the lines to the value of $35. and in-
stantly there was wide demands about
it. People wanted to know why Sir
Alexander Peacock's daughter was
given these privileges. Sir Alexander
himself, a former premier of Victoria,
was very much hurt when he heard
of the matter, and hastened to assure
the Westralian government firstly,
that If his daughter had appeared in
Westralla, Jt was entirely without his
sanction; secondly, if she had made
claims upon the Westralla railways
she had done It without his authority;
thirdly, that never during his long po-
litical career had he asked his own
state, let alone any other, to extend
dead-healing privileges to a daughter
of his; and. fourthly and finally, he
had no daughter, and never has had a
daughter.—Boston Transcript.
Record Mountain Climbing.
The redoubtable enterprise of
climbing Mont Blanc in midwinter has
recently been successfully carried out.
The climber is an artist-photographer
of Chamounix—M. Max Willmann.
The climb took two days and nights.
With M. Willmann were two guides.
During all three days the weather was
arctic in point of cold, but otherwise
splendid.

At the present rate of increase the
population of Europe will double itself

Worn Down by Five Years of Suffer-
ing from Kidney Complaint.
Mrs. Remethe Myers, of 180 South
Tenth St., Ironton, O., says: "I have
worked hard In my
time and have been
exposed again and
again to changes of
weather. It is no
wonder my kidneys
gave out and I went
all to pieces at last.
For five years I was
fading away and finally so weak that
for six months I could not get out of
the house. I was nervous, restless and
sleepless at night, and lame and sore
In the morning. Sometimes every-
thing wouid whirl and blur before me.
I bloated so badly I could not wear
tight clothing, and had to put on shoes
two sizes larger than usual. The
urine was disordered and passages
were dreadfully frequent. I got help
from the first box of Roan's Kidney
Pills, however, and by the time I had
taken four boxes the pain and bloating
were gone. I have been in good health
ever since."

Year's Cigarette Output.
The cigarette output of 4,368,729,015
in the calendar year of 1906 must have
come as a surprise to the bulk of the
trade, but more stunning yet Its in
crease In one year of 842,240,425, an
increase by nearly 300,000,000 larger
than the increase of our cigar indus-
try during the same year. This Jump
Is the more remarkable in the face of
the pronounced and unrelenting hostil-
ity of a half dozen state legislatures
which have ostracized not only the
manufacture but also the handling
and consumption of cigarettes with-
in the confines of their respective ter-
ritories.—United States Tobacco Jour-
nal.

Purely Experimental.
"Why in the world did you order a
Welsh rabbit In this French place?"
they asked her. "Of course, the cheese
is about the same as you get every-
where, but how can you tell what a
French Welsh rabbit will do to you
afterward?"
"I'm not afraid," she Informed them,
placidly. "I just want to see what
sort of ragtime nightmare French it
will speak."
FOOLED THE PREACHER.
A Doctor's Brother Thought Postum
Was Coffee.
A wise doctor found out coffee was
hurting him, so he quit drinking it.
He was so busy with his practice,
however, that his wife had to write
how he fooled his brother, a clergy-
man, one day at dinner. She says:
"Doctor found coffee was injuring
him and decided to give Postum a
trial, and wo have used It now for
four years, with continued benefit. In
fact, he is now free from the long
train of ills that follow coffee drink-
ing.
"To show how successful we are
In making Postum properly I will re-
late an incident. At a dinner we
gave, Doctor suggested we serve
Postum instead of ordinary coffee.
"Doctor's brother, a Clergyman, sup-
posed it was old fashioned coffee and
remarked, as he called for his sec-
ond cup: 'If you do preach against
coffee, I see you haven't forgotten how
to make it.'"
This goes to show that well-made—
fully boiled—Postum has much the
flavor and richness of good coffee al-
though it has an individuality all its
own. A ten days' trial will prove that
it has none of the poisonous effect of
ordinary coffee, but will correct the
troubles caused by coffee. "There's a
reason." Name furnished by Postum
Co., Ltd., Battle Creek, Mich.
Stood the Test.
Allcock's Plasters have successfully
stood the test of sixty years' use by
the public; their virtues have never
been equaled by the unscrupulous im-
itators who have sought to trade upon
their reputation by making plasters
with holes in them, and claiming them
to be "just as good as Allcock's."
Allcock's plasters stand to-day in-
dorsed by not only the highest medical
authorities, but by millions of grateful
patients who have proved their effi-
cacy as a household remedy.
Ideal Trade Conditions.
Women should not get credit.
Neither should men. Cash is the cure.
Tradesmen, maybe, would have a bad
time for six or 12 months, and many
a lady would have to "lie low," but in
the end we would get both our trade
and our money, and she would get her
dress, and at far less cost.—London
Opinion.
Don't It Jar You?
To have a cough that you can't leave
off—even when you go to bed? Put it
away for good by using Simmons'
Cough Syrup. It heals inflammation
of the throat and lungs—gives you rest
and peaceful sleep.
She was standing by the mirror. He
was buried deep in the sporting page.
"George!"
"Well, well! What Is it now?"
"How do you like my new veil?"
"Oh. it is very pretty. Anything
else?"
"But how do you know It Is pretty?
Men don't know anything about veils."
"You are very polite toward our
sex. I would have you understand
that I have a taste for veils."
"You have a taste for veils?"
"Yes, I have tasted a dozen veils.
That is—er—I mean I have—no, yes.
I—what In thunderation do I mean?
I—"
"Stop! Not another falsehood,
George Brown! You have been kiss-
ing some girl through her veil. You
know the taste of veils, eh? You
deceiver. I—"
But poor George had fled.
TACK THIS UP.
Simple Advice Which May Prove of
Untold Value.
At the first sign of Backache or pain
In the region of the Kidneys, or weak-
ness and Urinary trouble, the follow-
ing simple prescription should be
used:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Take a teaspoonful after each
meal and at bedtime.
Any good prescription pharmacy
will supply these three ingredients at
small cost, which can easily be mixed
by shaking well in a bottle. This is
said to force the Kidneys to filter the
sour acids and poisons from the blood,
overcoming the worst cases of Rheu-
matism.
Rockefeller Escaped.
Judge Hedeman, journalist of
France, was sent by his paper, the
Matin, to Interview John D. Rocke-
feller, when the latter was at Com-
peigne last summer. "Mr. Rocke-
feller," said M. Jules, "I desire to in-
terview you." "Ah" replied Mr. Rock-
efeller. "I desire to ask you some
questions about yourself and receive
answers therefor." "Ah!" said Mr.
Rockefeller. "I desire to discover if
many of the things said about you
are true." Mr. Rockefeller pondered.
At last he said: "I have heard it
charged that I am so stingy I will
never take a cab. This is not true,
for if you will observe closely you
will see that I Intend to take one now."
And he did.

of from 700 to 1,000 tons and from
Australia an increase of 1,000 tons,
making the total European and Amer-
ican supply for the year about 93,550

Is the best medicine I ever saw and I

is right.

THE Vvlue
OF"
Personal KnowledgI
Personal knowledge is the winning factor in the culminating contests of
this competitive age and when of ample character it places its fortunate
possessor in the front ranks of
The Well Informed of the World.
A vast fund of personal knowledge is really essential to the achievement of the
highest excellence in any field of human effort.
A Knowledge of Forms, Knowledge of Functions and Knowl-
edge of Products are all of the utmost value and in questions of life and health
when a true and wholesome remedy is desired it should be remembered that Syrup
of Figs and Elixir of Senna, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., is an
ethical product which has met with the approval of the most eminent physicians and
gives universal satisfaction, because it is a remedy of
Known Quality, Known Excellence and Known Component "j" \
Parts and has won the valuable patronage of millions of the Well Informed of the t5/|
world, who know of their own personal knowledge and from actual use that it is the first / /} i
and best of family laxatives, for which no extravagant or unreasonable claims are made, bdjl! I |
This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known — .Ml
under the name of—Syrup of Figs — and has attained to world-
wide acceptance as the most excellent family laxative. As its pure
laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well known to physicians
and the Well Informed of the world to be the best we have
adopted the more elaborate name of—Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of Senna — as more fully descriptive of the remedy,
but doubtless it will always be called for by the shorter
name of — Syrup of Figs—and to get its beneficial
effects, always note, when purchasing the full
name of the Company—California Fig Syrup
Co. — printed on the front of every package,
whether you call for — Syrup of Figs
- or by the full name — Syrup of
figs and Elixir of Senna.
