Probably it is part ~ ever home
makers new year RESOLUTIONS to
make her home as beautiful as posi-
bic. and many of these ways are con-
sidered in this department. One of
the means by which a room may give
itself entirely new airs is in the
dressing of the walls themselves.
Usually wallpapers for the main
rooms of house have fallen into two
classes, figured and plain, and. while
these divisions stand to a large eXf
tent, there is a very interesting deVel-
opment, which / saw the other day.
New Effects.
The new effects in the plain papers
have removed them from the pattern
less sort. Sometimes it is almost nee
essary TO get the paper in certain
light to discern that there is a pattern
on it, as with table damask that has
a motif pattern in the weave. With
these recent wallpapers it is as if
they. too, had a pattern in the
weave" OF course. with some, the
design is more pronounced than with
others. But if the pattern is not
actually of a lighter or darker tone
of the same color, it is of a color so
closely blending that there is no
marked contrast, but a sense of unity
throughout that is restful as well as
beautiful.
Blends.
Although the blended and toned
papers known for several years may
have appeared TO some 70 have been
entirely without design in the blend
such as not the case, for any paper
hanger has to have something to go
by even in so neutral paper to make
il match" when the paper is applied
TO the walls. Now. because something
more than a vague blend or toned pa
per is demanded the indefinitely pat
termed self-toned papers have come
TO fill the need.

Let me describe the effects of some
of these papers. What seems at first

to the naked eye, perhaps. SO far as
we know, this is the ordinary mode
of infection in all of the diseases men
toned las well as some conditions not
specifically mentioned), and Stats
ticians find that this class or group
of diseases. the respiratory infections,
is responsible for about three-fourths
of all the Illness which physicians at
tend. So that term cri means a
great deal more than any idea which
can be conveyed by the term colds. :"
There is nothing misleading about
the term cri. When one opines one
has the cri there is Hlo evasion i'm
piled. One simply acknowledges that,
whatever the nature of the indisposi-
ton or illness may be it is infectious.
Not so when one purports to have a
cold" In fact. the person who goes
about pretending to have a cold is a
public nuisance, dangerous because he
is either too ignorant to comprehend
the infectious character of his ailment
or too selfish or vicious to spare his
friends, associates or the public in gen
eral the favor and fortune of his
spray.

Did YOU know that diet affects the
health of the hair? Too much ACID
in the blood affects the hair. and many
doctors recommend a diet of milk and
fruit, and nothing else for time, TO
overcome this condition. The milk
gives fats, the fruit sugars and mlld
acids, and is generally a cleanser OF
the whole system including stomach
and liver. If your hair is coming out
rapidly, and the scalp seems fairly
healthy. try a diet which is mostly
fruit and milk, and massage the head
10 minutes every day and see if there
IS an improvement. The milk may be
taken as rice pudding, tapioca, thick
soups and in such ways, the fruits
raw or cooked or done into salads with
mayonnaise.
Diet, of course. affects the complex

there are thousands of healthy salads
which give you fruit, vegetables and
