A Manhattan merchant returning
the other day from comprehensive

what surprised me most in my

announcement. Made In America so
frequently displayed in retail shops
II can remember the time that such

sufficient TO condemn the merchandise.

The white house up to date has cost
about 100000. of which nearly one
third has been paid for furniture and
interior decoration. Originally tho
state Of Virginia gave $l3O,O00 to build
1t. Maryland adding $4,000. To main
tain the white house costs from s25 .0G0
to $4,000 n year. the appropriation for
this purpose varying considerably.
But every now and then there is some
thing extra TO be paid for and congress
is called upon to give an extra s30,oo1
or $4,000. The biggest pull of this
Kind ever made was for s550,O00,
which was spent couple of years ago
In partial reconstruction OF the In
terror and in the addition OF wing
like terraces and an Office building.
Every now and then new set of
china has to be provided. and usually
that costs about s?5. .OO0-rather big

One of the most interesting and

work that is being done with view
to the prevention and care OF con.
