many sections OF the country these

This type OF construction dates back
hundreds OF years; but 1t has re-
Gently been revived because we have
found out how to use cement to ad-
vantage In work of this kind. The
modern outside cement plaster coat
bears but little relation to the old
English rough-coat, which used to peel
of in irregular patches, spelling the
appearance OF the house forever.
One thing that has had a great deal
to do with putting modern cement
plaster work on substantial and sat
isfactory basis. was the invention OF
metal lath made OF expanded sheet
steel or woven wire fabric. Until
cement mortar was troweled onto and
into metal lath 1t was impossible to
provide against expansion and con-
traction. 1t is difficult even now to
explain why cement plaster on good
metal lath will dry and hang free OF
cracks, when the same mixture spread
on wooden lath will spiderleg in every
direction. But probably the why is
not 80 important as the fact that we
have only lately come to practical un.

some one say that the Romans knew
as much about cement as we do; but
that is nonsense. They knew how to

aqueduct, how to plaster walls and
even make poured walls and founda

DR.. Hartman Says:

The following letter was received
by DR.. Hartman through his regular
correspondence:
Il notice the testimonial OF Mrs.
Alice Boyle. which you give in your
last article. II should write her do
you suppose she would give me fur
ther particulars? have heard it said
many times that such testimonials are
fakes: that they are either absolutely
fictitious or else the people have been

times but these stories about patent
medicine advertisements have dis.
couraged me from doing so. am
afflicted with catarrh and should like
very much to find remedy such as
your article describes"
To the above letter DR.. Hartman
made the following reply:
My dear Madam:-I do not wonder
that you are confused and have lost
all faith in advertised remedies.
There has been so much said against
them, SO much controversy concern.
Ing them, ! am net surprised that
some people have lost confidence In
them.
wish you would write Mrs. Boyle,
as one woman to another, wish you
would ask her whether she has been
hired to write such testimonial,
whether her testimonial represents
the truth.
! hope you will remember that she
Is a housewife. like yourself, that she
has something to do besides write
letters. that she is a woman OF mod.
crate means and cannot AFFORD to
write these letters and pay her own
postage. hope you will enclose
stamp so she can answer you without
loss to herself. Mrs. Boyle is very
estimable lady and no doubt you will
both profit by being acquainted with
each other.
Should you conclude to try Peruna
for your catarrh would be very glad
to hear OF the result. lean assure you
that no use will be made OF your let.
ter, except by your written consent.
Mrs. Boyle very kindly consented to
have me use her letter, which Is my
reason for doing so, and you will be
treated exactly as she has been.

doubt about that. Some surprising

No Fooline on Currency.

Washington, Sept. 80. President
Wilson, it became known today has
determined to remain in Washing
ton as long as the Currency Bill is
under consideration and has aband-
oned the idea of going to Panama
this fall unless the currency legisla-
ton can be concluded sooner than
is expected
The President began the day
plunging into the currency question
with Senators Owen and Shafroth
and Secretary of the Treasury Nc
Adoo. Following this conference it
was said that progress had been re-
ported, ard that work of framing
bill as it would be presented to the
Senate later was progressing salts
fact0rily.
The President, it is said, desired
to be on hand so as to do anything
he can to get the currency legisla
ton under way before differences of
opinion become to acute.
AS far as the Panama tolls ques-
ton is concerned the President
does not contemplate an early mes
sage to Congress and certainly will
not take up the question seriously
until he has visited the canal
which he believes he can find time
to do in December or January.
