New Finish.

Several tons of white paint are being
spread on the walls and ceilings of the

peen removed to the seventh floor,
where there Is an abundance of light
and greater circulation of air 1t is
stated that the white paint acts as
light reflector, both in the daylight and
when the new mercury-vapor lights are
In operation.
Repair men have also been busy re-
placing the hard finish to the walls
of the lower corridors. large patches of
which have fallen off during the past

light brown of the original color 1t is
hard to detect where the patches have

package for the convenience of those who
use it for pimples. blotches humors. acne,
red noses. scaly scalp and other minor
skin troubles which require but a small
quantity to cure. In this short time a
