A WORD ABOUT FLOORS.

A !floor we'll painted is a luxury. Every housekeeper understands this. Practical painters say that enamel deck paint is the best thing they evel used. Why? Simply because it finish es floor perfectly. Any paint that will stand the test of being applied to vessels decks, washed repeatedly and subjected to salt water exposure will certainly do more than good service when used on inland surfaces. Do not allow your floor to be coated with an ordinary house paint, or a cheap floor A floor paint to wear well and look we'll must harden through from foun. dation to surface. Therefore insist upon Enamel Deck paint being used and see that every can has label upon it. --[Harry Rider, 612 Water street, Bridgeport.
