SECRETARY BouTwELI's POLICY. -
Secretary Boutwell, knows, or ought to
know, within very small Limit, just how
much money he needs for the next six
months t1,s The .pp5'Prattons are n all made

lic'service. He knows, too. what his resources

backs, and with those purchase U. 8. bonds,
keeping. enough of them uncancelled to DO

circulation where it's use will do some good,
instead OF locking it up where it 10 useless,

would be to enhance the credit Of the Govern

| NOVEL USE OF PAPER
The novel application of paper for
building PURPOSES, which 1 had occ.s;oa
to notice last year, has proved g
great success. Since that time I have
observed its nse in both the exterior and
interior part. Of buildings, and can speak Of

cheaper and more comfortable is OF general
interest, I snail render the public real SER
vice by describing this paper and its rses.
me paper is made compact ard solid, under
that it is impervious to air, and resists the
action. Of heat. eoAl and moisture, makiag
houses lined with it cool in ,summer
and warm in winter. It neither shrinks
nor swells, is non-conductor,, and can be
used in building at any season Of the year,
saves all the expense of lime and sand and
large amount Of lumber and labor makee the
