While panell;ng was introduced a season
or so ago, there is no diminution of the
craze for It and It is carried out in many
way 1t IS more expensive than plain pa
per but the advantage OF the style cannot
be denied. Orc OF the least expensive
methods Of obtaining the panel effect is
to use a quiet two-tuued paper for the field
with a narrow Renaissance border which
follows the bascDOard and acts as a frame.
besides outlining the windows and doors.
BY far the newest and most striking pam
cling for bcdChanlbcrs is paper showing
an ivory background with a floral panel
effect. Usually the design is confined to
floral ~garlands, baskets Of roses and the
like, which form a frieze from which
streamers depend and define the panels.
Altogether this makes q particularly SIM
pie and yet dainty decoration for n bed
chamber.
Another panel effect for a bedroom is a
revival OF a Louis XVI. pattern showing
the ground. say, Of pale robin's egg blue
and the border of blue bowknots on a
white ground carried all about the room,
top, bottom and corners. This e~ncloses
each wall in a panel.
Other extremely simple bedroom papers
are those showing a dull yellow back
ground Of invisible pattern. and a narrow
floral border, the two separated by q mar
row wood moulding, and the flower pa
pers showing a cream ground with
punches Of roses scattered over tho sur
face and no border, the field running
straight up 10 the ceiling and only a
moulding as g finish. a green Japanese
grass cloth may be used to cover two
thirds OF the wall. with a border of buff
and pale yellow roses covering the re-
manning one-third.
Nurseries are particularly favored by de.
signers. There are any number OF novel
schemes Of decoration in which the orna-
menta; poster largely figures. One Of the
latest IN nursery effects shows a wall, di-
vided horizontally through the center, the
lower portion being papered in a soft
orange and The upper half in a dull ecru,
the dividing limo being m interesting Dor
der representing chickens. ducks and a lot
OF things stimulating 20 tho childish mag
ination. The upper Held Us decorated with
posters of children IN "arions attitudes ard

PUTS THE GINGER" IN.
The Kind OF Food Used by Athletes

The Kind of Food Used by Athletes
\ former college athlete, one of the
long distance runners. began TO lose his
power Of endurance. His experience
with a change in food is interesting.
"Wnile | was in training on tie
track athletic team, my daily joys be-
came a task, until after | was put on
Grape-Nuts food for two meals II day.
After using the Food for two weeks I
felt like n new man. My digestion was
perfect, nerves steady and l was full
of energy.
Il trained for the mile and the half
mile runs (those events which require
SO much endurance) and then the long
daily joys which before had been
such a task. were clipped off with ease.
! VOL both events.
THE Grape Nuts food put me in per-
feet condition and gave me my gin
ger Not only was my physical condi-
ton made perfect. and my weight in
creased. but my mind was made clear
and vigorous so that | could get out

merly. required. Now lsost all Of the
University men use Grape-Nuts, for
they have learned it's value, but I think
my testimony will not be amiss and
may perhaps help some one to learn
how the best results ran be obtained"
There's a reason for the effect Of
Grape-Nuts food OH the human body
and brain. The certain elements in
wheat and barley are selected with
special reference to their power for re-
building the brain and nerve centers.
The product is then carefully and SCI
entifcally prepared SO rs to make 1t
easy OF digestion. The physical and
mental results are so apparent after
two or three weeks use as to produce
Il profound impression. Read "The

FALL STYLES IN
WALL PAPER DESIGNS

Women who buy wall paper this fall will
discover that styles lave undergone a rad
ical change since last year. Instead OF
striking colors the new papers show soft
pastel shades
Furthermore, gold decorated papers are
less popular. This does not apply TO dull
finished gold stock. Wall coverings In
the hand fooled leather effects, Japanese
grass clcth, imitation burlap and burlap
itself arc considered very smart FOR GER
tain apartments.
The average woman should rejoice in
the imitation hand fooled leather, the
tapestry papers and the other reproduc-
tions of old colonial and French designs,
which in the original cost fabulous sums.
By means Of these reproductions one may
achieve for from $50 up n fair imitation
OF A scheme OF decoration which with orig
inal materials might cost thousands 70
carry out.
Tn new limitations Of Spanish leather
cost about $50 a roll and are accurate
copies of the genuine. In order TO repro
duCe the varied markings of the natural
leather impressions are taken directly
from the latter, 50 that the irregular veins
and the diverse markings are correctly
copied. From this matriX the paper Is
made.
Nor is this all. Once the ground color,
which most frequently is dull brown, green
or gold, is applied, then the illumination is
done by hand. So that. considering the Ia
Dor involved. the cost is not a. all eXorbi-
tant.
Japanese grass cloth is another charm
ing material for wall hansings. A room
papcrcd with q. duh gold field running
threc-quarters OF the way shows q tap
estry friezc the remaining distance, all of
which is most effective. The grass cloth
can be bough, Tor 81 a roll and the tapes'
try for $3.50 q vol.

\ COOKING WITH OLIVE OIL. =


American chefs have not yet learned
the value of olive oil in cooking. a
good grade of cooking oil can be bought
in bulk very reasonably. and a little
bit Of 1t goes a long way.
II one is going to broil a sirloin or
porterhouse steak, place q tablespoonful
of olive oil In a platter and sprinkle
with salt and pepper, then dip the steak
In on both sides before putting it in the
hot broiler. A steak or chop cooked
in this manner has a fine flavor.
Occasionally an American gets a dish
Of real Italian spaghetti and wonders
why he cannot have some just like it
at home. This dish Is very easily pre-
pared and this is how to do it:
Buy some imported spaghetti from an
Italian dealer, who will, when packing
It. break the long lengths in half. Put
it without further breaking into a dish
of water at a racing boil into which
n good half-handful of salt has just
been thrown. Let it boil uncovered UNI
til It is just cooked through and we'll
swollen. Take care not TO cook until
soft-the Italians prefer It firm. This
will take perhaps twenty minutes. un-
less the spaghetti is very coarse. Pour
1t into a Colander and drain quickly.
placing it steaming on a large platter.
pour on the sauce and serve quickly.
In the same sauce lies the whole
secret. The Italians sell a small can
OF pomodoro. from 4 to s cents apiece,
according to quality. While the spa
ghetti is cooking. this sauce is put in
n dish of boiling olive oil, thinned with
hot water. seasoned and spiceG to
taste. Pour over the spaghetti hot. 1t
mus not be allowed to sCorch.
To make the sauce at home It may
be lone with considerable practice. by
stewing the tomatoes four or five hours,
adding n little soup stock, oil, spice.

ALMOST BRINGS DEAD TO LIFE.
Apparatus for Resuscitating Persons
Apparently Dead.

Apparatus for Resuscitating Persons
Apparently Dead.
An apparatus for producing artificial
respiration has recently been devised
whereby in cases of suspended anima-
ton the action Of the heart and lungs
can be renewed.
Professor George Poe, the inventor OF
the apparatus, does not insist that with
its use life can be brought back, but
claims, according to The Scientific
American, that by artificial means app
piled through the instrumentality of
the ~respirator persons killed by as
phyxiation, poison or drowning can be
resuscitated: that the death of per-
sons under the influence of anaesthet-
les while being operated Upon can be
prevented; that its use will prevent
infant asphyxia at birth; that a drunk
en- person can be sobered in a few min
utes; that persons electrocuted or
hanged-in the latter case where the
neck has not been broken-can be re-
vived, and that the freezing to death
of Arctic explorers can be obviated.
These results are accomplished by
stimulating normal respiration through
artificial means.
A demonstration was made on q rab-
bit. Two grains of morphine were in

ounces of ether were administered 1t

Lee Samuels, a University of Idaho
student who is well known in Lewiston
ball playing circles, lost the game for
Spokane at that city yesterday. Sam
uels was in the box for the Indians
and in the sixth inning, let the bases
fill and then hit man with the ball.
His repeated wild throws and mar
row escapes from being batted out of
the box were the features. Samuels Is
an amateur and was picked up by Ed

country with the Idaho team. He
promises to make good as a pitcher
after the proper training stunt has
been looked after.
