GOOD coLoRs FOR HOUSES.

1t is not generally known-not even
among painters certain tints
and colors wear much better than
others on houses, and the knowledge
of just what tints are best to use is,
therefore, rather hazy.
One writer on paint, in recent
book, says that experiments seem to
show that those colors which resist
or turn back the heat rays of the sun,
will protect a house better than those
which allow these rays to pass
through the film.
Thus red is good color because it
turns back, or reflects, the red rays,
and the red rays are the hot rays.
In general, therefore, the warm
tones are good and the cold tones are
poor, SO far as wear is concerned. In
choosing the color of paint for your
house, select reds, browns, grays
and olives which, considering the va
rious tones these tints will produce,
will give wide range from which to
choose.
Avoid the harsh tints, such as cold
yellows (like lemon), cold green's
(like grass green, etc. and the blues.
1t must be understood that no vir-
tue is claimed for tints in themselves,
irrespective of the materials used in
the paint. Any color will fade, and
the paint will scale off, if adulterated
white lead or canned paint is used,
but if one is careful to use the best
white lead-some wellknown brand

SALLOW FACES
Often Caused by Coffee Drinking.

How many persons realize that cot

duces muddy, yellow complexion?
A ten days trial of Postum Food
Coffee has proven a means, in thou
sands of cases, of clearing up bad
compilations.
A Washn. young lady tells her expe-
rience:
All of us-father, mother, sister
and brother-had used tea and coffee
for many years until finally we all
had stomach troubles more or less.
Eve were all sallow and troubled
with pimples, breath bad, disagree
able taste in the mouth, and all of us
simply so many bundles of nerves.
I'VE didn't realize that coffee was
the cause of the trouble until one day
we ran out of coffee and went to Dor
row some from neighbor. She gave
us some Postum and told us to try
that.
Although we started to make it,
we all felt sure we would be sick if
we missed our strong coffee, but we
were forced to try Postum and were
surprised to find it delicious.
I'VE read the statements on the
pkg, got more and in a month and a
half you wouldn't have known us.
We were all able to digest our food
without any trouble, each ones skin
became clear. tongues cleaned of and
nerves in fine condition. We never
use anything now but Postum There
is nothing like it." Name given by

Facts About Alaska.

Alaska is an interesting region. In
area she is twice as large as Texas,
with California thrown in, but her
resident white population numbers
only about 10000, though in summer
she has from 10000 to 10000 more
whites. In fur, fish and minerals she
is rich. Since her annexation she has
furnished $5O,0OO,OO0 of furs, $6O,OOO,-
900 of fish and 100000 of minerals,
chiefly gold and silver. Her output
of gold, which was 100000 in 1904,
was $16,000,000 in 1905, and will be
fully s26,000,O00 in 1906.-Leslie's

FROM THIS THE PRESIDENT ESCAPES.

The annual house cleaning is now in progress
at the White House. 1t would require expert
mathematician to figure out just how many
coats of paint, how many yards of plastering and
how much expenditure of money there have been
lavished upon this historic old building. Every
year the interior is gone and every year the
outside is either painted washed, so that the
glistening whiteness may be retained.
The decorations of the executive mansion
need careful attention always, and the paint and
enamel work has to be kept clean and free from
all marks and scratches. The multitude of pill
grims who annually visit this building is disposed
to be critical, and if any dirt or any DETACHMENT
of decorations walls is discovered, there is
sure to be something ugly said about it. The
hard wood floors have to be cared for whenever

WASHINGTON-The reception accorded Sec
rotary of State Root at the Pan-American con-
gress at Rio Janeiro and the cordially exhibited
wherever he has landed in South America are
regarded omens of success for his unprece-
denied tour. Never before has the premier OF
this government undertaken similar mission,
and it is unusual for such high official of one
government personally to visit the capitals OF
other governments and by plain, frank inter-
course endeavor to establish frmer relations be-
tween great powers. Mr.. Root has the object
of his South American tour the correction OF an
erroneous idea and prejudice that exists there
against the United States.
The people of this country are virtually un-
known in South America. The United States has
no steamship connection with that section to
speak of and our trade cannot compare with that

Uncle Sam has in his employ landscape gar

identifying the public parks and reservations in
Washington. In the recent report of the Super
intendent of Public Buildings and Grounds Brom-
well, this faithful servitor is recommended for a
promotion in the point of salary The superin-
tendent asked for an increase of $500 year and
says: The gentleman who occupies this posi-
ton has held it for 3o years and has had charge
almost from the beginning, of the park system of
Washington. He is constantly receiving offers
of an increase of salary from outside parties but
prefers to stay here
The extent to which Uncle Sam INDUCES in

fact that last year there were planted $4,000 pan
sizes and $1,000 Towering bulbs for early bloom
There were planted in beds and vases 972,520 bed

THE NUMBER OF ANARCHISTS INCREASING.

Considerable alarm is felt in official circles
over the rapidly increasing number of anarchists
that are finding their way to the United States.
The immigration authorities of the opinion
that unless something is done by treaty or other
wise, the United States will soon be overrun by
this undesirable class. In the naturalization law
recently passed, there is restriction giving
citizenship to anarchists and regulations are now
being formulated to make this effective. That,
however, does not prevent anarchists coming to
this country and preaching their doctrine. 1t is
comparatively easy thing for this disorderly
element to obtain admission to this country and
congress will be asked to consider more drastic
regulations regarding them.

There has always been diversity of opinion as

In the opinion of those of artistic taste, it was
money well spent, although the general public does
