the Disease Is Spre00.
1t would seem that people will never
learn 10 be careful. The recent alarm
ing spread of that dire epidemic, small
pox, throughout different sections OF
the country hns been traced by physi-
clans and sanitarians in many in
stances directly to the moldy and rot
ting layers Of paper and paste which
cover the walls of many houses. The
practice of laying layer after layer OF
paper on a wall, using common Hour
paste, is especially calculated to create
homes for disease germs. People could
not do more to effect such a result it
they tried. The rotting vegetable mat
ter affords caves from which are ready
TO dart forth the infection at every
opportunity. There is no excuse for
this practice, as walls and ceilings can
be coated with q pure, cleanly II
sanitary material like AlabaStine, for
instance, at no greater expense. Ala
baStine is a rock-base cement, which
Incorporates itself with the wall or
ceiling. 1t is easily applied, comes
ready to mix with cold water, requires
no washing or scraping before renew
ing or retinting, is beautiful, long-last-
ing and safe.
For walls that have been infected
nothing is equal to Alabastine as n
disinfectant to render them pure and
clean and the rooms nee more in
habitable.
