Waterproof wall Covering.

The best way to make tinted wall
waterproof is to first use tintinS ma
tetrial that is natural cement with no
glue In it-one that will not require
glue size on the wall. After this
natural cement Is applied directly to
the plaster, thoroughly cover II with
water enamel, and then. after the
water enamel has dried In. give II !
thorough coating with any good varnish.
This will make perfectly impervious
wall, which steam, water or heat will
not AFFECT. The expense of putting on
this material in an ordinary bathroom
In addition to the regular tinting ma
terial would amount. perhaps. to two
dollars, depending. Of course. upon the
size of the room. Portions over sinks
