is falling 10 pieces. j
It is now being held together I

This is the startling disclosure o;
Senator Porter H. Dale of Vermont.
He conjures up a picture of the j
"great, gray dome." Us supporting
•walls and columns crumbled away,
crashing to the ground!
"The central building of the cap
itol," he said, "is constructed, of
Virginia sandstone.
"It is rotten stone. It is chipping
and crumbling away.
"Every year it is soaked with
paint, to hold it together. Other
wise It w\>uld fall to pieces. ^
300 FEET HIGH
"But despite the manifold paipt
coats, anyone can see the holes
where the stone has.scaled away.
*■ "To verify this, it is only neces
sary for one to look at the walls
behind the magnificent east portico.
"The capitol ls*-known for its ma
and beauty of : a—but its main -
and central part is bu»U of rotten
stone!”
Su&c on the "rot to a

An imposing sight—but. Senator
Dale points out, it is made of trvti
and weighs nearly nine mibtoo
pounds. A terrific weight to lie- *d
up by rotten stone!
# The cornerstone of the central
building was laid by iVvsid.nt
Washington on Sept. IS. 1712. The
building was completed in 1S27.
It has stood in all its glory for
nearly 100 years—but the senator
from Vermont has grave misgivings
whether it will stand for 100 years
more.
You Too Can
Have Beauty
‘I was not always as attractive
| as I am now. My hair, which
should be woman’s greatest
i charm, used to be coarse and un
ruly due to dandruff, and my face
was sallow and often bore ugly
pimples.
‘I had hgard Exelento Quinine
Pomade praised on all sides and I
got a package and began using it
as directed. The results were as
tonishing. My dandruff all left
me and my hair began to get so
soft and silky that it was a de
light to comb it,”
‘‘Then 1 began to use Exelento
Skin Soap on my face and the
results were 'equally amazing.
All blemishes disappeared and my
face became soft, smooth and
beautiful. ”
Exelento Cuinind Pomade and
Exelento Skin Soap may be
; obtained fee only fir’ each at all
i drug stores or v. :i3 bo eent, post
