How the Germs Are NuEtured and the
Disease Is Spread.
1t would seem that people will never
learn to be careful. The recent alarm
ing spread of that dire epidemic,
smallpox, throughout different Sec
tons of the country has been traced
by physicians and s%anitarians in many
instances directly to the moldy and
rotting layers of paper and paste
which v the walls Of many houses.
The practice of laying layer after
layer of paper on a wall, using COM
non -four paste, is especially calcu-
lated to create homes for disease
germs. People could not do more to
effect such a result if they tried. The
rotting vegetable matter affords caves
from which r ready to dart forth
the infection at every opportunity.
There is no excuse for this practice,
as walls and ceilings can be coated
with a pure, Clearly and sanitary ma
terial like Alabastine, for instance, at
no greater expense. Alabastine is a
rock-base cement, which Incorporates
itself with the wall or ceiling. It is
easily applied, comes ready to mix
with cold water, requires no washing
or scraping before renewing or re-
tinting, is beautiful, long-lasting and
safe.
For walls that hare been infected,
nothing is equal to Alabastine as a
disinfectant to render them pure and
clean and the rooms once more habs
