Wall Paper and Di,ease..

CDR. Chanel of Cornell University"
observes the Kansas City Times in an
editorial article March S, shas made an
announcement which is calculated to
cause Il slump in the market for stock
of the wall paper trust. The doctor says
that he has made chemical ANALYSIS of
a large number of samples of wall pa
per, and in nearly all Of them has found
a%rsenical poisons, in some of them the
poison existing in surprising quantities.
He was led to make the Investigation
by having brought to his attention a
number of cases of sickness which We're
traced to paper covered rooms. 1t is to
be presumed that, in the future, houses,
in d to be classed as strictly mod
crn,' will have to have frescoed walls.
while on the subject of wall paper,
the Cornell scientist would confer a
favor upon mankind by pursuing his
investigation further. 1t would be in
teresting as well as instructive to know
what per cent of the inmates of insane
asylums w their mental condition to
their having been compelled to live in
rooms whose walls We're covered with
realistic %portraitures of an opium smok-
er's dream. Some of the designs which
are alleged to make living rooms coy
and homelike resemble nothing so much
as the efforts of a dissipated artist to
reproduce the experiences of an attack
Of the delirium tremens."
Alabastine, the rock-base cement for
coating walls, is free from these objec-
lions. 1t is sanitary and costs less than
wall paper.
