ents, and which kind is used in your
baking powder.
ID Mineral-Acid, or Alum, is made
fxem a kind Of clay. This is mixed
with diluted oil of Ntriol and from
this solution product is obtained
which is alum. Alum is cheap: costs
about two cents pound, and baking
powder made with this Mineral.Acid
sells from 10 to Csc. a pound.
(2) Bone-Acid. or Phosphate, is the
basis of phosphate baking powders
and the process is fully described in
the patents issued to a large manufac.
turer Of a phosphate powder. The U.
S. Patent Office Report gives full
and exact description, but the follow.
ing extract is enough:
Burned bones, after being ground
are put into freshly diluted oil of Wit
riol and with continual stirring and
in the following proportion" etc.
From this Bone-Acid phosphate bak.
ing powders are made; such powders
sell from 20 to 80 cents pound.
co Cream of Tartar exists in all

Tartar baking powders sell at about

those selling from 20 to 80 cents OF

SIMPLE WALL DECORATIONS.
New Material and New Ideas for tho
Decoration Of Homes.

pGCOTdIiOI1 u E1OIhCSs
The styles of home decorations have
completely changed in the last few
years, and it is pleasant to say that
they have changed for the better.
Time was when we hung mOnstrous
patterns printed on paper against our
walls, and considered them more or
less pleasantly. 1t would hardly be fair
to say that we considered them beau
tiful or artistic. But they were the
vogue and were put on. The time
has come when, with our better meth.
DDS for interior decoration, better ef'
fects can be secured.
In wall coverings, whether they be
of paint, or of kalsomine, or of Ala
Observation-Disclosures the material used
to cover the wall-the thing desired is
that which has the greatest covering
power, as we'll as permanency and
beauty of color. Alabastine, wall
covering ground from Alabaster rock
which means a hard white rocks
the ideal covering for wall.
The most beautiful wall decorations
in the world are those which are laid
in our large public buildings, and the
1ltSCOeu uSSlSuo Ill VIC large CdtuO'
drals and churches, have perma'
nency and an art of which wall paper
is but a cheap imitation. These mural
schemes and frescoed designs can be
brought within the reach of the every
day home. They can be done with
Alabastine, which is permanent in its
coloring. 1t does not rub off, and it
has the soft effect OF pastelle.
A great many people defer the re-
decorating of their rooms not only
because Of the expense but because
of the discomfort of it. With Alabas-
tine there need be no discomfort and
there can be no muss, for all that is
needed is to lay a sheet or canvas ON
the floor, have your man come in with
pail, make the solution and simply
brush it on the wall. That is all there
is to it, and the room is perfectly
clean and thoroughly renovated.
