Better Plastering Needed

The old methods of throwing plaster

always and in everything, and people
are becoming Interested in improv-
ing their ways of living.
Better plastering by recent dec
orative method can be done only
through the use of the proper prod
ucts, and among these some stand as
the highest representatives in this
class. One is an emulsion based on
portland cement, sand and asbestos.
To say that splendid results have been
obtained with this decorative plaster
ing would be to put II mildly. Leading
builders and decorators make 1t n
point to insist upon the best as the
only logical product that can be EN-
ployed efficiently. Beauty as well as

ed to all those who know of the Inn

If Back Hurts
Begin on Salts
Flush Your Kidneys Occasionally
by Drinking Quarts of
Good Water

No man or woman can make mis-
take by flushing the kidneys occasion
ally, says a well-known authority.
Too much rich food creates acids
which clog the kidney pores so that
they ,sluggishly filter or strain only
part of the waste and poisons from
the blood. Then you get sick. Rheu-
matism, headaches, liver trouble.
nervousness, constipation, dizziness,
sleeplessness, bladder disorders often
come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts, or Il
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full Of
sediment, irregular OF passage, or at
tended by sensation of scalding, be-
gin to drink soft water In quantities;
also get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any reliable pharmacy and
take tablespoonful in glass of wa
ter before breakfast for few days
and your kidneys may then act fine
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for years to help flush clogged kid
neys and stimulate them to activity,
also to help neutralize the acids in
the system so they no longer cause
Irritation, thus often relieving bladder
disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes delightful efferves-
cent Whitewater drink, which every
one can take now and then to help
keep the kidneys clean and the blood
pure, thereby often preventing serious
kidney complications.

In the first four grades alone. Books
would be thinner and children could
progress faster with the English
language simplified for them If they
did not have to waste time and effort
figuring out queerly spelled words.
3. The Alfabet would enable for
eigners to learn English more easily
and would help break down the
prejudices which prevent the adoption
of English as universal language.
Radio has brought the need Of such a
universal language to the attention
of the whole world. English, because
of its cosmopolitan vocabulary and
grammatical simplicity, is well fitted
for destiny as the universal language.
But It's spelling needs to be straight
ened out.
1t is as teaching system that
Doctor Dewey hopes to have the new
Alfabet adopted. He believes that 1t
will prove its value there and that
fact will lead to Its general adoption.
To test his theory that Il child can
learn the new system easily, he
taught 1t to his daughter at the age OF
seven. After five hours study she
could use the new Alfabet correctly In
writing letter to her mother. Doctor
Dewey realizes that general adoption
of the system would necessitate new
printing type. but he Is firmly con-
WINGED that the eventual saving would
make up for the immediate cost. He
estimates that II can become univer

tions and of general public use in one
Already 1t has passed one barrier, In
that a typewriter with the new pho
netic type has been made by one of
the oldest typewriting manufacturing
companies and is available for public
use.
Although Doctor Dewey Is secretary
of the Simplified Spelling board. the
new Alfabet is not connected with the
new simplified spelling, except that 1t,
too, is a part of a growing movement
to write as we speak. His Alfabet Is
based upon a similar one often re-
ferred to as the National Education
Association Alfabet, used as key one
of the New Standard dictionary This
Alfabet recognizes 48 different sounds,
but Doctor Dewey has reduced that
number to Al. "Only one sound for
each sign and only one sign for each
sound" is the slogan through which
he hopes to make the new Alfabet
popular.
The new Alfabet is not only a
hobby with him. 1t is an ideal and
something of an inheritance. His ia
Their, Melvil Dewey, was one of the
founders of an international confer
ence for the amendment of English
photography 80 years ago. AS boy
Doctor Dewey was a natural speller
and champion In many a school spell
ing bee He has been studying short
hand for 80 years and during the last
six or eight years has been concen-
trating on the new Alfabet for general
use. He was graduated from Harvard
In 1909 and returned for a master of
education degree in 1921, receiving
his doctor of education degree last
year. In 1923 he published a book
1.-The Relative Frequency of English
Speech Sounds" which was a rorerun-
ner Of the new Alfabet which he has
evolved from his years of study.

with all their sounds, syllables and
letters. Our present system of spell
Ing is unwieldy, confusing, irregular
and incomprehensible to the child or
the foreigner who attempts it for the
f1rst time. This is due mainly to the
Inconsistency between spelling and
pronunciation. even in such simple
words as gave" and have" The
best Illustration of this inconsistency
is In words containing "ough' which
has eight different pronunciations, as
Illustrated In the following rhyme:

cough plough me through

Each of these words, therefore. ran

In which this word could be spelled

Under Doctor Dewey's system In
the "Fonetic Key Alfabet," there is a
symbol for each sound. In the major
ity OF cases these symbols look exact
~ IKE the letters of the present al
phabet or are so similar to them tha.
It Is easy to distinguish them. Can
itals have been dispensed with, since
they waste time. Instead, in printing.
the first letter of every sentence
would be set in bold face TYNE and
would be blacker than the others In
writing, little cross is placed above
and to the left of the letter to in
dicate that 1t is the beginning of

and If you (Only we should saw "yn.,

of the present capital "Iv Won would
write small letter "a" with a dot
over It (see first character in DIFF.
thongs in the alfabet shown above)
In the present way of spelling one
hupdred average words contain 439
letters. Under Doctor Dewey's plan
100 words can be printed with 365 LEFT
tiers. So by. removing many of the
superfuous letters and syllables in
our present words, such as the nouehn
and the final &c" on large number
of words great saving In time and
effort could be effected. In fact there
are three positive benefits claimed nv

as follows:
!. An initial saving of 5000. 900 600
and corresponding saving IN the
