Menace in Unpainted Wall
An unpnuued i-*ugh wall, says Doctor
Gardner of the Institute of Indus- |
,t r) a t> Research at Washington, is por |
ous; moisture may he absorbed readily
and retained for long periods. In these
popes, organic matter and germs may
enidly lodge and develop. If the wall
Is painted, Jibweve'r, not only are these *
pores tilled with pn'nt and a rough, nb'orpdve
surface turned Into a smooth,.
absorptive surface, but u painted
! can be 'easily and etTeotivelj
