PAPER FOR VARIOUS ROOMS.
Wall Decorations to Add to the cozl.
ness Of the Home.

Light but not bright should be the
guiding note when selecting the papers
with which to decorate the walls of
your home.
Where there is light there Is always
4 cheerfulness which nothing else can
produce. but brightness of colors SOON
err or later will affect the nerves.
Where the rooms are small small
figured paper should be chosen. as this
will make the rooms appear larger.
and vice versa with the rooms which
appear too large.
Here are a few suggestions: For the
'estibule. n grove-like effect; for the
nails. plain felt paper or tapestry de-
sign; for the bedrooms. n fiowered de-
sign. with lighter or a darker body ac-
cording to the amount of light ad-
mitted to room.
For the parlor quite decorative de-
sign, chosen with Judgment to match
furniture; for sitting room and dining
room. arbor or orchard effects are eff.
fective and becoming: bathroom, kitch-
en- and laundry are best painted.
One paper should not be placed over
another. as disease germs breed there
easily, and the thickness causes the
puper to fall from the walls.

little fine minced parsley is now

farmer is to procure his electricity

The region operated by this com.

being done there may be done In many
part of Canada. There are indeed.

that are beyond the reach of elec.

But electricity can be made to help
the farmer as well as his wife. 1t Is
to make farming more profitable. An
electric motor would save farm labor.
and labor is now hard to get. 1t would
supply energy to draw water. to run
the milking machines, to thresh wheat,

And these are commonplace achieve
