PAPERING DAMP WALLS.
Solution Offered to One of Householders
Difficulties.

SOLUTION OueIeQ 10 One OF houSeholderS
Difficulties.
There are many so-called damp pre-
venters on the market for application be-
fore papering; for instance, cement or
asphalt preparations. cork tiles, gypsum,
or other Insulating materials, which may
or may not answer the purpose, besides
being rather expensive. Most of them
are unsuitable. because they prevent
ventilation of the walls, in which the
damp remains, appearing shortly through
the intermediate layers and the wall
paper. or rising up into other parts of
the house. An excellent and compare
lively inexpensive way out of this diff
Guilty is the following: Paint corrugat-
cd cardboard, such as is sold for packing
bottles, etc, on both sides with asphalt
yarnish. and fix it when dried with "a
inch tin tacks to the damp wall. so that
the smooth surface is directed toward
the room and the corrugations run from
ceiling to floor, against the wall. At
the floor level II inch should be left I'M
covered. The cardboard should then be
covered with coarse hessians or other
packing material on which a plain COW
ering paper, and lastly the wall hang
ings, may be pasted. The skirting
board should be removed while lacking
on the cardboard, which should have
small holes of an inch in length made
in the raised corrugations at intervals
of 10 to II inches before it is attached
to the wall.-Architects and Builders

Of the milk are not altered in any way

THE SCIENCE OF POLITICS.
President Thwing Explains New De
partment at University.

At the dinner of the Washington Alum
nj of Western Reverse University. held
at Tea Cup Inn last night, President
Thwing explained the workings Of the
newly established department of po-
lftical science and government, saying

men for careers in the consular service
and in political life. The course includes
every detail of political work from cast
ing ballot to conducting a national cam
paign. President Thwing said there was
no intention to try to make senators out
of students, but the endeavor was to
train men to meet the duties of citizen
ship.
Another portion of the speech was de-
voted to telling how the students of the
university had of their own free will done
away with the time-honored custom of
allowing the upper classmen to haze the
innocent freshmen He also announced
that the endowment fund of the univer-
sity had been increased by one million
dollars within the past few years.
