GYPSUM SUGGESTED
AS RELIEF FROM THE
MATERIAL FAMINE

AS a suggestion for the solution to
many shortages due to the high cost
or living, gypsum has been presented
by those interested in the deposits
found in Arizona. Gypsum as a COM
mercial asset to the state is gaining
IN popularity, said T. NJ. brennan yes
terday. He holds as his opinion en-
dorsed by many others, that the Win
kelmaen deposits can furnish the
building trade of this state and all
those desiring homes with ample ma
terial despite shortages and the high
cost of living
During the past month the subject
OF gypsum has been given much at
tention and considerable interest is
being interests is being shown by all
classes of people regarding its varied
uses and the saving in dollars effected
by using it in building operations.
The University of Arizona is inves-
tigating and endorsing it's use. and a
booklet upon this subject will shortly
be widely distributed for the benefit
of all concerned
Gypsum is used extensively in the
manufacture of building material such
as plaster board, solid and hollow
blocks, flooring and roofing tiles and
for exterior walls and interior par
titions and decorations. Plaster board
can be furnished in any thickness de-
sired and is designed to be nailed di-
rectly to the studding. Gypsum tiles
are lighter than clay tiles, are straight
and true, can be cut with a hand saw,
and because Of their lightness and
size can be laid very rapidly.
Gypsum is also used in the sue
cessful manufacture of plaster, such as
plaster of paris, molding and casting
plaster, hard finish plaster and is used
by potteries, sculptors and dentists.
The blocks used, that form the walls |
of buildings, furnish fire-proof con-
struction and in the east and middle |
west play many of the finest buildings /
nave been erected using gypsum for all I
interior partitions and filters for floors /
and exterior walls.
The climate of Arizona is ideally |
adapted to the wide use Of gypsum,
for all over the state, townsmen and |
farmers are needing buildings for do
nestle and other uses. Barns and out
buildings of. all kinds may be econom-
ically built of this material at a saw
ing of 25 to 40 per cent below ordi-
nary materials

woman,s GIFT Of Instinct.

A celebrated lecturer in giving an
informal talk to a number of women
on ethics startled his audience, who
fairly bristled with rage, when he an.
nOunced that he did not think women
possessed any reasoning powers at all.
But" he continued, you have what
is far better-an instantaneous appre.
cation"
This wonderful gift Of instinct said
to belong to womankind, and seldom
appraised ut its true value by the so
called stronger sex, Is certainly
heaven sent. No amount of cultiva-
ton will develop IT, for 1t is involun-
tary and is not the result of reasoning
but entirely independent of 1t.
Where a man will exert all his
mental faculties in revolving round and
round a subject, looking at it from
every point of view, thinking perhaps
that he is using calm, cool judgment,
he may, nine times out of ten, make
a mistake, when a woman's unerring
instinct leaps at one bound to the
right conclusion.

ONIONS VIRTUES ARE MANY
Eaters of odoriferous Bulb Rarely III,
According to Physlcians-Aid
to Beauty Seekers.

Onion eaters, as medical men have
noted, are rarely III, and that because
onions clear, as nothing else does, all
the poisons and impurities and germs
from the body, according to London
Answers. Onions, in fact, are strong
disinfectants, and If sliced raw ana
put about sickroom would gather to
themselves all the infectious germs
just as well as an expensive disinfect-
ant would.
1t is for that reason that 1t Is ex-
tremely dangerous to eat a cut or
skinned onion that has been exposed
to the air. 1t has cleared the air, but
gathered to its raw surface what 1t has
cleared.
Medically, onions are excellent for
insomnia and they aid digestion. Fur
Their, an onion diet is one of the cures
for rheumatism. This is due to the
large proportion of sulphur oil in
onions.
1t is this oil, too, which produces
beautiful, clear and velvety complex
ion. Bretons, great onion eaters, are
noted for their smooth skins. Onion
juice, too, gives immediate relief from
pain of wasp and other insects stings.

the school teacher and the few Ameri-

The dinner went forward success
fully; but there was much curiosity
concerning the surprise that the host
had promised his guests, and all eyes
were turned frequently toward the
door through which it was expected TO
appear. At last it came. The cook en-
tered, bearing aloft an immense plat

a chorus of "Ahsw The platter was
placed on the table under halo, no,
