Washington Spic And
Span f Following Session

Those are the four pictures that,
SO far, have been restored" The
capitol's art experts are now work
ing on the Landing Of John Smith
at jamestown. 5
When that is done there viii re
main the Embarkation Of the Pill
grims, The Surrender Of derG
CORVALLIS, and Washington he
signing Command Of the Congmen-
tai Army. n4
The cleansing Of these master
pieces of historical art will take,
it is estimated, at least another
two months. Maybe three It3is
exacting work, requiring the Mt
most pains to avoid marring the
tints and texture of the paintings.
First the paintings are busted, TO
remove surface accumulation of
loose dirt. Then they are washed
in a solution that removes the
CRIME.
After this they are cleaned by
a solution applied carefully inch
by inch, which cuts away part OF
the cover of varnish, in which
much dirt has become embedded /;
but which is not permitted to pene-
trate to the color pigments be-
meath. IS
The result has been to bring out
beauty and color in the pictures
which have been altogether lost to
visitors at the capitol through the
last score of years.
The big painting underneath the
dome, however, will not be cleaned.
1t would cost too much" to build
the necessary scaffolding. u.s.

the fact that smallpox gases have

DR.. Cumming, who is anything
but an alarmist, does not hesitate
TO express his concern about the
possibility Of nationwide epidemic

In the week of June q the Health
Service had compiled figures show

indications are that the number

that byhow it has passed the 900

that the disease usually flourishes

of thickaset, powerful physique, with
a broad bfshead and square jaw.
Keen, steady, eyes gaze forth be-
meath heavy. bfows.

New Soda Water Apparatus
AT Store of C.. III. Beane

C. II. Beane has completed the in
stallation Of the best and most mo-
dern soda water apparatus that can
be built. 1t is all metal and marble
construction. The whole apparatus
Is absolutely sanitary. The syrup
pumps are heavily silver plated. The
syrup and crushed fruit jars are
made of porcelain and the syrups
and crushed fruits are chilled, which
prevents any spoilage due to keeping
them at too high a temperature.
The soda water passes through the
purest metal known, which is block
tin. There are two sinks with ~un-
ming hot water and round corners
which prevent any accumulation of
foreign matter and a removable
stand pipe with cup shaped funnel,
which Is perforated and used to car
ry away the vast ice cream. The
two automatic tumbler washers are
sanitary and everything in the glass
Is thoroughly washed in hot water.
Paper cups and dishes are used to
serve drinks and ice cream. Ice is
placed On block tin coolers and soda
water Is served cold at temperature
of 34' Fahrenheit. All bottled goods
are kept in a sanitary cold closet.
The syrups. soda water, crushed
fruits and bottled goods are cold and
the ice cream is kept at the correct
temperature.
Cleanliness and sanitary conditions
reign supreme at c. II. Beane's mo-
dcrn soda water fountain and the
public is asked to call at the store
