ALABAS7IN
A Superior Substitute
for Kalsomine, etc.

Alabastine is the first and only preparation
made from calcined gypsum rock, for appli.
cation to walls with brush, and is fully cov-
cred by patents and perfected by many years
OF experiments. 1t is the only permanent
wall finish, and admits OF applying as many
coats as desired one over another to any
hard surface, without danger of scaling, or
noticeably adding to the thickness OF the
wall, which is strengthened and improved by
each additional coat, from time to time. It
Is the only material for the purpose not de.
pendent upon glue for It's adhesiveness.
Aabastine is hardened on the wall by age,
moisture, etc, while all kalsomines or whit.
enlng preparations have inert soft chalks
and glue for their base, which are rendered
soft or scaled in very short time.
In addition to the above advantages,
Alabastine is less expensive, as it requires
but one-haf the number OF pounds to cover
the same amount Of surface with two coats,
Is ready for use by adding water, and easily
applied by any one

~ find that in addition to the pars spirits
contained in their composition, they contain
the extracts of hops and other well known and
highly approved medicinal roots, leaves and
tinetures in quantities sufficient to render the
article what the makers claim it TO be, TO wit,
a medicinal preparation and not beverage
unfit and unsafe to be used except az a medi-
cine.
From careful analysis of their formula
which was attested under oath-I find that in
every wine-glassful of Hop Biters, the active
medicinal properties aside from the distilled
spirits are equal to full dose for an adult,
which fact in my opinion, subjects it to an in

Not obliged to FOLLOW Bentley,s Rulings.

TO the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
Tt is q burning shame that there should be
244,000 claims for pension pending in the Pen
sion Office. Ny opinion is that it is the fault
of the Commissioner of Pensions. He is not
obliged to follow'the arbitrary and ridiculous
rulings of Bentley and other Commissioners
who had no sympathy whatever for the COM
mon soldier who had risked his life and ruined
his health to save an ungrateful nation. If
Mr.. Dudley would use the power which the
law places in his hands, he would put every
applicant for pension on the pension roll inside
of six months. When Dudley was appointed
thought: Now the soldiers will have some show
of justice done them" but he seems to hedge
himself in with few nonsensical rules appar-
emily under the belief that every applicant for
a pension is trying to beat the Government. If
had it in my power-as / believe he has it in
his-I would grant every disabled soldier a
pension, and not delay the matter, year after
year, until they died without relief in a poor
house. i hope the bill of Representative Laird
| win become law soon, as it viii be step in
the right direction; and hope Warmers bill
viii be defeated. w. Ell. WOLFE,
