 The greater part of MoberIy's work consists in caring for all of the painteo magnitude and variety of this job you would never realize unless you could accompany Moberly on a tour of the building. Not only there a great many oil paintings hung in the build ing, but almost every square yard of every wall on every floor above the basement is in some way decorated ing or a gilt molding. It is probably no eXaggeration to say that there are scores of decorations in the capitol building, all of which are more or less subject to injury by time. moisture or violence. For example, when, few years ago. some crank set off bomb in one of the corridors and wrecked a couple of walls. the principal thing that he accomplished was the destruc- ton of hundred or so square yards of valuable mural painting by Brumidi, which 1t took Moberly many weeks to replace. It is a striking proof of his familiarity with every inch of this great building that he was able to re- produce the Brumfdi pictures from memory in such a way that a very ,.foS inc :s .fn Iota where Brumidrs work ends and Mo- berlys begins. He believes that the duty of a restorer is not to express his own ideas, but to put himself in the mental boots of the original artist and to try to do what that artist was try ing to do-a feat which requires imag- ination and sympathy as we'll as artis- tic skill.

He explains that in the old days a man who ex- pected to live by painting could not af- ford to specialize as the modern artist does, but had to be capable of doing all sorts of jobs. He also had to be able to mix and grind his own colors and had to understand the chemistry of his pigments. In the school of yer satility Moherly was trained, and the training has been invaluable to him in his work at the capitol.

The costliness of taking the
ouija board seriously is now to be
demonstrated in Chicago. A couple
whose home had been robbed con-
suited ouija, who promptly spelled
out the name Of a man and his wife
as the guilty The victims of the
robbery repeated this, and now they
are defendants in $4,000 suit, for

those who took stock in him against
them are going to pay dearly for it.

that any grownups take this board

Why, even the courts would be done

to have spirits do the work for

BEAUTY Is WITHIN REACH OF
US ALL.

If there is anything we all long
to see, it is the South, land of
beautiful homes, and this could be
accomplished in a short time if we
would all strive for it. We do not
have to live in a mansion to have a
beautiful home-SOme of the love-
Hest homes ever knew were only
tiny cabins surrounded by flowers.
Our woods are full of shrubs,
flowers and ferns. There is no vine
so lovely as the Virginia creeper
and dogwood. redbud and sumac
are beautiful on the lawn.
If your house is old and you in
tend building in a few years, white
wash the old one and surround it
with vines and flowers. There is no
land on earth half so beautiful as
ours-let us make it a land of beau
tiful homes as well. Plant fruit
trees, too, while you are about it.

Doctor Cupid

That love sometimes cures dis
ease is a fact that has been called
to the attention of the public by a
prominent physician. Love is not,
however, the cure for all women:

irritable, feels dragged down and
worn out for no reason that she
can think of.

scription gives new life and new
