en- in his limbs but the X-Ray exami-
nation showed that external cuts and
bruises we're the worst that he had
suffered by the accident. He was out
of school this week but was able to
be about the place on crutches.
The Dickinson Sign Co. has a
specially made machine for removing
old paper and kalsomine from the
walls. Steam is used in a manner
which destroys all disease germs,
leaving the walls perfectly sanitary.
This new process cleans the walls
quickly Of any paper or kalsomine,
leaving them in the finest of shape
for new paper or a coat of paint.
The machine was tested out the past
week by J. w. Molloy and is doing
all that the inventor eve expected of
it.
