SIMPLE WALL DECORATIONS.
New Material and New Ideas for the
Decoration of Homes.

New Material and New Ideas for the
Decoration of Homes.
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
bastine-whateve the material used
to cover the wall-the thing desired is
that which has the greatest covering
power, as well as permanency and
beauty of color. Alabastine, a wall
covering ground from Alabaster rock
which means hard white rocks
the ideal covering for a wall.
The most beautiful wall decorations
in the world are those which are laid
on with the brush. The mural designs
in our large public buildings, and the
frescoed designs in the large cathe-
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
A1abastine, which is permanent in its
coloring. 1t does not rub off, and it
has the soft effect of pasteIle.
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 AIabas-
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
a 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.

The Young Physician.
WHAT HIS EXPERIENCE PROVED.

In the early sixties it was usually the
duty of a practicing physician to ride
many miles every day on his regular
round of visits upon his patients. In
those days young man who had received
a splendid medical training in one of the
best medical colleges of that day was ac-
customed to ride ten, twenty or thirty
miles or more visiting the sick and
afflicted. His success was soon 6henom-
email. Doctors and families called him for
consultation to towns at considerable dis
tances by rail. One of his specialties was
the cure of those distressing diseases of
women. He had early discovered that
by combining the vegetable extract of
the following medicinal plants in just the
right proportion without the use of alco-
hol-his prescription invariably cured
such cases: Later, in order to place this
remedy before the public in shape easily
to be procured, he established a labora-
tory at Buffalo. N. Y, where regularly
qualified chemists were put in charge to
accurately prepare his prescription and
put it in shape for shipment to all parts
of the United States. This remedy, which
he named DR.. Plerce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton, is not Upatent medicine" in the
common acceptance of the term, but a

GRIPS UGLY SEQUEL
KNEES STIFF, HANDS HELPLESS,
RHEUMATISM NEAR HEART.
Mrs. Van ScOy Experiences DangerOuA
After-Enects from Grip and Learns
Value of a Blood Remedy.

The grip leaves behind it weakened
vital powers, thin blood, impaired di-
gestion and over-sensitive nerves-a
condition that makes the system an easy
prey to pneumonia, bronchitis. rheuma-
tism, nervous prostration, and even con.
sumption.
The story told by scores of victims Of
the grip is substantially the same. One
was tortured by terrible pains at the
base of the skull; another was left tired,
faint and IN every way wretched from
an8mia or scantiness of blood; another
had horrible headaches, was nervous and
couldn't sleep; another was left with
weak lungs, difficulty in breathing and
acute neuralgia. In every case relief
was sought in vain until the great blood
builder and nerve-tonic, Dr. Williams
Pink Pills, was used. For quickness and
thoroughness of action nothing is known
that win approach it.
Mrs. Van Scoy makes statement that
supports this claim. She says:
ST had severe attack of g-ip and, be.
fore had fully recovered, rheumatism
set In and >tormented me for three
months. I was in badly rundown
state. Soon after it began was so lame
for q week that could hardly walk. It
kept growing steadily worse and at last
I had to give mp completely and for
three weeks was obliged to keep my
bed. My knees were so stif couldn't
bend them, and my hands were perfectly
helpless. Then the pains began to
threaten my heart and thoroughly
alarmed me.
81 While was suffering In this way
chanced to run across little book that
told about the merits of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. The statements in it i'm.
pressed meand led me to buy box These
pills proved the very thing 1 needed.
Improvement set In as soon as began
to take them, and it was very marked by
the time had finished the first box
Four boxes made me well woman" !"
Mrs Laura NJ. Van Scoy lives at No.
20 Thorpe street. Danbury, Conn. DIR.
Williams Pink Pills are equally well
adapted for any other of the diseases that
follow In the train of grip. They are
sold By all druggists.

BRAIN WORK AND BEAUTY.
English Specialist Thinks They Can.
not Go Together.

not Go Together.
According to an English specialist
who has made careful study of the
subject, the reason why women are
better looking than men is because
they are more indolent and are not
called upon to use their brains as
much as men are. Hard intellectual
work and assiduous attention to bust
ness. he says are harmful so far as
physical beauty is concerned. AS
proof that his theory is correct, he
points to the Zaros, whose home is in
British India. Among them women
hold the place which in other coun-
tries is occupied by men. The Zaro
woman manages the affairs of state
goes into business on her own ac-
count, and does not wait for a pro,
posal of marriage, but proposes her
self; whereas the FARO man has moth
ing to do but cook the meals and look
after his children. The natural re-
suits says the scientist, is that the
men of this singular tribe are very
pretty and the women are unusually

Every housekeeper should know
that if they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time, because it
never sticks to the iron, but because
each package contains 16 Ozone full
pound-while all other Cold Water
Starches are put up in q pound pack
ages, and the price is the same, 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem
icals. If your grocer tries to sell you
a 1907. package it is because he has
a stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose of before he puts in Defiance.

Russian Newspapers Call Attention to
Western Indifference.

st. Petersburg, May 22.-The Rus
sian newspapers call attention to the
indifference with which the powers
contemplate the danger involved in
navigating far eastern waters owing
to the Japanese floating mines, con-
trasting this with the harsh criticism
earlier in the war when the Russians
planted mines outside Port Arthur.

Washington. May 2O.-Mr. Green
er, commercial agent at Vladivostok,
has cabled the state department that
all the foreign and commercial agents
there were asked to leave Vladivos-
tok fortress and are given permission
to reside in the cities of the maritime
provinces. Mr.. Greener himself was
just leaving Vladivostok for Habo-
rOwSki. 1t is recalled here that a
similar measure was adopted by the
Russian authorities at Port Arthur at
the beginning of the investment of
that place by the Japanese land and
sea forces, and hence it is assumed
that Vladivostok is expected to be-
come a center of the seat of war very
soon.
London.-Now that it seems def
nitely established that Vice-Admiral
Rojestvensky has started on his
northward journey there is a great
