Worth of Gypsum Plaster.

Gypsum p.aster is largely displaclng
lime mortar as a wall finish. Not only
is it found to be more suitable and
durable, but its strength and hardness,
and the fact that construction can be
completed more quickly when it is
used, have brought it into favor. 1t
also has great value as neutralizer
Of alkali in soils. The belt of country
