that lin the middle of the last century

''quartered. at neutrality-suspicious.,

How the 0erms Are Nurtured and the
Disease IL spread.
1t would seem that people will never
learn to be careful. The recent alarm
ing spread OF that dire epidemic. small
pox. throughout different sections Of
the country has been traced by physi-
clans and sanitarians in many instances
directly to the moldy and rotting 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 -four paste. Is espe-
cially calculated to create homes for
disease germs. People could not do
more to effect such a result II they
tried. The rotting vegetable matter
affords caves from which are ready to
dart forth the infection at every oppor-
tunity. There is no excuse for this
practice. as walls and ceilings can be
coated with pure. cleanly and sani-
tary material like Alabastine, for In
stance. at no greater expense. Alabas-
tine is a rock-base cement, which In
corporates itself with the wall or cell
ing. 1t Is easily applied, comes ready
to mix. with cold water, requires no
washing or scrapng before renewing
or retinting. Is beautiful, long-lasting
and safe.
For walls that have been infected
nothing is equal to AlabastIne as a
disinfectant to render them pure and
clean and the rooms once more habit

The above illustration shows one of the
mammoth buildings occupied by the great
Mail Order House of the John NJ. Smyth
Company of Chicago.
For one-third of a century this COM
pany has been in business. Beginning
in small way. they supplied their neigh
bors in the nearby towns, each year
widening their field. They are now sell
ing merchandise direct to the consumer
at wholesale prices throughout the United
States.
Some years ago they began supplying
their customers with an illustrated cata-
logue. As the business expanded they
were obliged to increase the size of this
catalogue, until to-day it exceeds 1000
illustrated pages, quoting the lowest
wholesale prices on everything to Eat,
Wear and Use. BY a superior process Of
color photography they illustrate many
Of their goods in natural colors, bringing
out the rich color value Of curtains, car
pets. draperies, and the latest designs in
wall paper, ETC., thus enabling the Gus
toner hundreds of miles distant to select
goods at his own freside. knowing by the
description, illustration and price the
class Of goods he may expect.
This feature of their business is be-
coming more and more popular each year,
for it not only saves long and tresome
railroad journeys but is a great time
saver. 1t leaves out the profit of the
jobbing house, the retailer. the expensive
commercial traveller, the general agent,
the sub-agent, and thus eliminates from
one to four profits saving this amount
for the consumer. In short, it is a great
wholesale store brought to the home. The
mammoth catalogue referred to is a Goth
century dictionary of economy.

building added to this great enterprise.
