THE ARTISTIC WALL.
One OF Solid Color viii Always Give
Best Effect.

The dearest, daintlest most artistic
wall is solid colorcd wall 1t fur
nishes a perfect background for all
kinds Of pictures. 1t throws them out
in their correct proportions. and does
not detract from their artistic value.
The solid colored wall is also much
better as n background for furniture,
and harmonizes much more artistical-
~ with carpets and rugs than any
other method of wall treatment. The
less breaking up OF color on a wall
the more artistic II is.
The most successful form OF the
solid colored wall is an alabastined
wall. There Is as much difference he.
tween tinted walls, as there is be-
tween shoddy and Atwood gowns. The
shoddy gown holds its color for few
days, while the Atwood keeps its color
to the very last thread, 90 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 off. never fakes nor chips
of and Is always ready for Il fresh
coat. II 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
clean wall cannot be built on an un.
clean foundation. If there are any
particles of foreign matter adhering
to the wall scrapc them of with n
putty knife. Then If there are any
discolorations on the wall, size 1t with
n material made from cheap varnish,
thinnod down with benzine and japan
added for a drier, then cover your
wall with your Uniting material.
Be sure your man uses a tIntlng 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 going to
have a shoddy wall, for glue means
shoddy. Glue means that 1t 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. A wall
that will be thing OF beauty and q
Joy forever"

New Hampshire, Vermont and other
states are falling into line. and II Is
only question of few years before
every state In the Union will have

The general scheme OF road i'm

ton of macadam or equally service.
able roads between the chief points in
each county, so laid out that they will
form continuous network through.
out the state. The less important
roads are TO be improved by methods
not so costly. Macadam roads require
an outlay for construction of from
$4,000 to $4,000 a mile. This heavy
initial outlay would be too great a
burden for the scattered population Of
the farming regions to bear unaided.
Outside help must be given, and mas
much as good roads increase the pros
perity of the entire state the principle
of state aid has been generally &C.
coptcd as just. II has been adopted in
various forms by all the states which
have seriously undertaken the i'm.
provement of their roads.
Even the portion of the expense
which falls upon the localities, is usu-
ally too great for them to meet by i'm.
mediate direct taxation, and here
again the state may come to their as
sistancc by lending them its credit so
as to enable them to borrow money
at a smaller rate of interest than they
would otherwise be forced to pay.
Naturally, where the state helps to
build the roads, their location, con.
structon and maintenance must be
under state control through an official
or a state commission. This insureg
the laying out of the roads so that
they will form a comprehensive state
system, and their maintenance in a
condition of efficiency after they have
been built.
Another important branch of the
good roads movement is the introduc.
ton of wide tires on wagons intended

are road destroyers, while wide tires
are road makers. The narrow tire
cuts the road into ruts, the wide tire

RESTORATION OF HIGHWAYS.
r. H. Fuller Tells How Good Roads
Benefit farmers and Others.

There has been an effort to induce
congress to resume road building
where 1t left of 10 years ago. 1t Is
argued in favor of this plan that the
rural districts receive disproportion'
ately small share of the receipts from
federal taxation, and the appropiia'
lions made for the improvement OF
rivers and harbors are cited by way
Of precedent for good road appropria'
lions 1t does not seem probable,
however, that the national govern
mcnt will relieve the states of the
duty of providing good roads, at least
in the near future; and meantime the
states are showing themselves quite
capable Of solving the problem. New
Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut
and New York are the pioneers in the
work of good road construction on a
comprehensive scale. Pennsylvania,

case OF injury, and do not advise the
use of any but round sand.
'Will the sand cause gravei? No one
with a knowledge of anatomy would ask
this question, for II is physically inn
possible for a grain of sand taken into
the alimentary canal to reach the kid
neys or bladder. But the relief of the
bowels from accumulated fecal matter
enables them to perform their duty, and
this relieves the kidneys of a vast
amount of impurities that are thrown
upon them by overloaded bowels. AS
consequence the kidneys are enabled
more perfectly to perform their func-
lions and the use OF the sand is really
preventive of gravel, as well as
number of other kidney disorders It is
usually noticed that as soon as the
sand is taken the kidneys become very
active. This is q natural rebound from
a long period of inactivity caused by
the clogging of the kidneys from matter
which should have been thrown off by
the bowels, but which could not be
eliminated as long as the bowels re-
manned constipated.
How much sand should be takenr'
The answer to this depends upon circur-
stances If a prompt effect is desired and
a copious cleansing required, 1t will be
desirable to administer two or three heap
ing teaspoonfuls accompanied by copious
drinking of water. Sometimes in a case
of severe constipation in beginning the
tratment, and in cases of fever where
there is need OF a quick action, 1t is well
to accompany the sand with a table
spoonful of castor oil or full dose of
citrate of magnesia or other mild laxa-
tive. But in ordinary cases. where there
is no need Of haste, the daily administers

but one of the conditions of life, the same
as water or food. Unless you use sand
habitually you cannot have clean bowels.
without clean bowels you cannot have
