Charles +. Mason of Gray, depart
ment commander of the G.. A. r.
Mr.. Mason led the opposition to a
bill amending the law relating to
exemptions of property owned by
soldiers, sailors and marines, their
wives, widows or minor children, so
that the exemption would not apply
to any property unless it was oc-
cupied by such person, which was
heard by the committee on taxation
Tuesday.
The only prepayment was Rep.
Freeman Mills of St. Adams. He
presented to the committee examples
of what he termed abuses of the ex-
listing law. These cited instances In
which property was owned by vet
! Grams but occupied by relatives who
! paid no tax. Many pieces of prop
crty are sold for taxes because the
, owners have not the money to pay"
said Rep. Mills, land this does not

cupation of the premises, and fur

Certain Exemptions Bill
Pep. Howard Fl. Beody of Wind
ham appeared as sponsor of bill
to provide certain exemptions for
the agricultural districts of the
State in the matter of taxation. He
claimed that it was impossible for
the State to grow as long as taxa
ton remains unequally distributed
and said that the rural districts are
now paying more than their share
of the burden.
Mathew Morrill, of Gray followed
Rep. Body with the statement that

would benefit his farming neighbors

walls and Woodwork for the
Kitchen

kltcnen
In selecting the color and finish
for the walls of the kitchen there are
two particular points to be remember
"a First it should reflect the maxi
LINN amount of light and second it
.hould be easy to clean. In selecting
.o,ors for the kitchen remember that
White is the greatest reflector of pure
,;0bt that we have. White however is
cold and tends to be glaring. Yellow is
our next best reflector but is very
;,tense in its pure state and would be
;n;urious to the eyes if used that way.
:, Is mixed with white to produce
.;rts such as ivory buff and such
warm but slightly neutral tones. Col
ors can be divided into two classes,
warm and cool. The warm colors are
vellow. red, and orange and the tints
and shades of these colors. The cool
colors are blue, green and purple and
.he;r shades are tints. The warm col
ors absorb light and warmth and re-
fleet the same and the cool colors
have the opposite effect. For this rea-
son we endeavor when possible, to use
warm colors for north or dark expo
sures and cool for warm places with
southern or light exposures. Of course
il is impossible to change the color
Of kitchen with each season so we
must select the best alternative which
in this case is the cream or French
ivory. 1t is light, reflects light, is
cheerful, and being tint is not ov-
erly warm for summer.
Plastered walls are used to great
extent in our farm kitchens. The
harder and smoother the surface the
better it is. Newly plastered walls can
be used for time without other fin
ish. When soiled and in need of re-
finishing they can be calsomined,
painted, enameled or papered with oil
cloth or an oilcloth paper. The calso-
mine is sanitary finish as it is in

quently. It is however, impossible to
clean it satisfactorily. Paint is next
and is improved by the last coat of
enamel. A glossy finish reflects a
lot more light but is not as pleasing
as the dull. This is the most salts
factory finish as it is hard surface
and not only does not catch dirt
easily but is easily washed. The ini-
tial cost of the enamel wall is rather
expensive but is cheaply renewed. The
oil papers give good service and are

applied just as wallpaper. When
soiled beyond repair it may be painted
as any other wall is. Regular wall
paper is not satisfactory. It stains too
easily from steam and is too expen-
sive.
In cleaning painted walls a little
,kersonene or little soda can be put
in a pail of luke warm water and a
cloth wrung out of this solution and
the walls wiped with it. A mild soap
can be used if care is used to wash
Immediately with clear water.
If sanitas is being applied to new
plastered wall or calsomined wall
a coat of hot glue should be applied
first. This is called sizing and is made
by soaking one pound of glue over
night. Add IL quarts of boiling wat
er in the morning. A good paste for
applying this paper is made by using
three pounds of white flour and two
tablespoons of alum or blue stone.
Mix to batter in luke warm water
and add one to two gallons of boiling
water. Add slowly till smooth batter
is formed then thin to spreading con-
sistency with cold water.
For kitchens which have never been
plastered beaver board or plaster
board are good substitutes. The plas-
ter board is more expensive but
should be used if door or cavity
is to be sealed as it does not require
a board foundation to prevent warp
ing.
In selecting the woodwork, remem-
Der that the palmer it is the less work
there will be in keeping it clean. Keep
it light in color and apply hard fin
ish. If varnish is used get water
proof one. Woodwork which has been
stained dark color can only be rem
ovated by painting. AS with the walls
enamel is more satisfactory in the
long run even to the more expensive
at the time of the first application.
Better results can be secured by
sandpapering lightly between coats.
