How much better, when you have a new home, to, start right than to have
to corrcct errors afterward from former treatment with other materials, when
you come to the use of Alabastine, as doe, nearly every one .oune. or later.
Once your walls are Alabastined you can use any material over it should you
desire, but having used Alaba.tine you will have no desire for any other treatment.
' Alabistine is so easy to mix and apply —so lasting in its results - so abso-

a claVby it.elf that it is becoming difficult to manufacture fast enough to supply
the demand.

arrest followed an investigation that

"There's a Reason"
Harding to Demand Guarantees of
Protection for Life and Property
Washington.—Recognition of the Ob-
regon government of Mexico by the
I nited States waits upon iron clad
guarantees from that government tor
| the safety of lives and property of
1 American citizens in Mexico.
| The Mexican policy of the Hard-
' in'; administration already is crystal-
1 lized. The enunciation of this well
! determined policy is expected shortly,
j This was strongly indicated follow-
| ing a meeting of President Harding
' and his cabinet. From authoritative
I sources it was learned that the broad
I principles of ihe new policy are as
I follows:
I The Obregon government must
! agree that there shall be no confisca-
tion of American property rights in
Mexico.
Absolute guarantees of protection
! for the lives of American citizens in
j Mexico.
Based upon these fundamentals,
and certain other stipulations, the
i American government will agree to
| recognize the government of Mexico,
headed by General Alvaro Obregon.
Nelson Goes to Memphis

Tex., as presiding elder of the
She Asked Insurance.
Insurance agents, investigating
Mrs. Southard's claim for $10,000 life
insurance carried by Meyer, learned
she had been married on three pre-
vious occasions. And it was revealed
her husbands had all died under mys-
terious circumstances and she bad
collected their life insurance. The
bodies were exhumed and, according
to the authorities, traces of arsenic
poison was found in each case.
Mrs. Southard's maiden name was
Lydia Trueblood, according to the au-
thorities. She was born at Lebanon,
Mo., and is described as about 28
years old and singularly attractive.
Mrs. Southard's matrimonial his-
tory and the dates of her husband s
deaths as given out by the authorities
follows:
Married Robert C. Iiooley, an Idaho
I farmer at Twin Falls, March 27, 11)12;
| he died in Twin Falls hospital, Octo-
ber 12, 1 !> 15, typhoid being assigned
as the cause.
Married William G. Mcilaffie, Twin j
! Falls, waiter at Twin Falls, in June,
I l'jlti; be died at Hardin, Mont., Ocio-
' li'or 22, 1U18, death reported to have i
been from intluenza and diphtheria.
| Married Harlan C. Lewis, automo- j
| bile mechanic of Billings, Mont., at
j Denver, Colo.. March 10, 1919; be died |
at Billings, July 6, 1919, cause of
' death reported as gastro enteritis.
' Married Edward E. Meyer foreman j
Blue Lakes ranch, Twin Falls county,
Id ho, at Pocatello, Idaho, August 10,
1920; he died at Twill Falls hospital,
September 7, 1920. Autopcy revealed
traces of poison.
In two more cases the prosecut ing
attorney said, Mrs. Southard failed to
collect insurance of her husband s
live. The policy on McHaffie's life,
he said, was allowed to lapse through
nonpayment of a premium. Meyer,
the fourth husband, carried $10,000
worth of insurance, which was in-
I creased from $2,000 shortly before his
death, but no attempt was made by
! bis wife to collect it.

Remarkable Discovery.
A remarkable discovery with regard
to the blood, says the Scientific Amer-
ican, bus Just been made by a phy-
sician in London. In making serums
the doctor got the needed plasma from
flu? blood of horses. After he had
drawn off the plasma, be Injected the
red corpuscles Into the horses again.
The result was that the horses imme-
diately formed new blood fluid of nor-
mal composition. It will take some
time to determine the full possibili-
ties of sii startling a discovery, but It
Is likely to have an important bearing
on the practice as well as the theory
if medicine.

A report Issued by the forest prod-
nets laboratory states that If sound
dead trees are sawn Into lumber pnd
the weathered or charred outside cut
away, such lumber cannot be distin-
guished by any known test from that
cut from live trees. Most of the wood
in a live tree Is actually dead, and
the specification for lumber should
i therefore lie framed to provide for a

Infestation, and the provision of a
clause specifying live timber is unnec-
essary.
