Your

Home
should be made'
artistic, sanitary
and livable.
These walls should be Alabastined in the latest,
up-to-the-minute nature color tints. Each room should
reflect your own individuality and the treatment
throughout be a complete perfect harmony in colors.
The walls of the old home, whether mansion or cottage, can be
made just as attractive, just as sanitary, through the intelligent use of
Instead of kalsomine or wallpaper
How much better, when you have a new home, to Hart right than to have
to correct errors afterward from former treatment with other materials, when
you come to the use of Alabastihe, as does nearly every one sooner or later.
Once your walls are Alabastined you can use any material over it
should you desire, but having used Alabastine you will have no desire for
any other treatment.
Alabastine is so easy to mix and apply so lasting in its results so
absolutely sanitary and so generally recognized as the proper decorative
material in a class by itself that it is becoming difficult to manufacture fast
enough to supply the demand.
Alabastine is a dry powder, put up in five-pound packages, white and
beautiful tints, ready to mix and use bv the
addition of cold water, rind with full directions
on each package. Evtiy package of genuint
Alabaitine has cross and circle printed in red.

Reconstruction, in a Manner.
An unwonted noise of saw and hum
mer greeted' me as I entered the
usually quiet little restaurant where
I am in the habit of doing much of my
writing, while n disagreeable array ot
raw white planks disturbed the repost
of Its dark wood paneling.
As I dropped Into my usual corner 1
saw that the panels were pitted and
scared In a score of plnces, while
even the plastered frieze was chipped
and marred ; and I wondered.
As the waitress laid my table, how
ever, I heard the story:

temperatures of churning, washing

Scores of Women
in homes, stores, offices and factories are not fit to be at work.
They toil on day after day and year after year suffering
with distressing weaknesses and derangements, hoping against
hope that they will soon feel better, but how can they hope
to do good work or escape permanent invalidism?
Such women are in clanger of derangement of women's functions. They
owe it to themselves to try that good old fashioned root and herb remedy
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, which for more than forty
years has been restoring American Women to health and strength.
Here is a Notable Example
Joplin, Missouri. "I took Lydia EL
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to
see if it really would do as it was ad-1
vertised and it sure did, and more. I
was weak and could not do much
work, had bearing down pains and had
to go to bed. I learned about the
Vegetable Compound from my mother
and my husband told me to get it.
After taking one bottle I was able to
be on my feet most of the time and
do my work again. I have a baby
eleven months old and I have done all
my own work, even the washing and
ironing since she was three weeks old.
I certainly recommend your great medi
cine to everyone who complains of
female trouble and I am more than
willing for you to use my testimonial.'
Mrs. Timothy graney.
426 Connor Ave., Joplin, Mo.
And Another
Chicago, Illinois. "I suffered for four
'ears with pains in my sides, hips and
egs and a terrible backache. 1 could
not do any work at all. I was treated
by many physicians but they did not
help me. I read in one of your books
where other women have been helped
by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, so I tried it and it nelped
me very much so that now I can do
. everything in the house. I have told
my friends about Vegetable Compound
and you have my permission to use this
letter." Mrs. I. OVENSTEIN. 902
