THE ARTISTIC WALL.
One of Solid Color Will Always Give
Best Effect.

The dearest, daintiest, most artistic
wall is a solid colored wall. 1t fur
-nishes a perfect background for all
kinds of pictures, it throws them out
in their correct proportions, and does
not detract from their artistic value
The solid colored wall is also much
better as background for furniture,
and harmonizes much more artistical-
ly with carpets and rugs than any
other method of wall treatment The
less breaking up of color on a wall
the more artistic it is.
The most successful form of the
solid colored wall is an alabastined
wall. There is as much difference be-
tween tinted walls, as there is be-
tween shoddy and all-wool gowns. The
shoddy gown holds it's color for a few
days, while the all-Wool keeps its color
to the very last thread, so also in solid
colored walls, there are shoddy walls
and permanently colored walls which
retain their color down to the very
last particle. The ideal wall coating
never rubs of, never fakes nor chips
off and is always ready for a fresh
Goa t. If there is wallpaper on the
wall soak it off with warm water,
then go over the plaster after you
have removed the paper with warm
water to remove every trace of paste.
Have the wall thoroughly clean for a
clean wall cannot be built on an un-
clean foundation. If there are any
particles of foreign matter adhering
to the wall scrape them off with a
putty knife. Then if there are any
discolorations on the wall, size it with
a material made from cheap varnish,
thinned down with benzine and japan
added for a drier, then cover your
wall with your tinting material.
Be sure your man uses a tinting ma
terial mixed with cold water. If he
comes to you and asks for warm wa
ter, you can make up your mind that
there is glue in the material which he
proposes to put on your wall, and you
can be certain that you are g7ing to
have shoddy wall, for glue. means
shoddy. Glue means that it will hold
its color long enough for the man to
collect his bill and not much longer.
Insist on your tinting material being
mixed with clear, cold water. Be sure
that your wall is made from pure ma
terials, then you will have a perma-
nent, artistic, sanitary wall. wall
that will be thing of beauty and a

FOOLED THE PREACHER.
A Doctors Brother Thought Postum

a wise doctor found out coffee was

He was so busy with his practice,
however, that his wife had to write
how he fooled his brother, a clergy

four years, with continued benefit. In
fact, he is now free from the long
train of ills that follow coffee drink
