When It Is brought to mind how much of tho wall Rpaco ot a room Is ovldent, It Is necessary that duo con sideration bo given to tho selection of paper, Tho pattern should not be such that tho harmonious furnishings ot a room aro lost in tho dominating ot color or design of tho background.

Grave, gray-beard-W ed members of tho United States sonate commltteo on commerce list ened roccntly with respectful atten tion to tho arguments of n 13-year-old boy In knickerbockers whoso .head barely topped tho tnblo which sepa rated him and his dignified auditors. Tho youthful orator was William B. D. Stokes, Jr., of Now York, and his theme wob wireless telegraphy and telephony. Ho Is president of tho Junior Wireless Club of America, Ltd., and ha Is opposed to certain features of tho Depew bill, which provides for government regulation of wireless tel egraphy. Master Stokes said tho members of his organization wero amateur wire less telegraphers, all of tender years. He told the commltteo that tho boys favored a nominal license feo for wireless operators, tho llccnso to bo rovocablo for "malpractice." Tho boy lobbyist's volco was youth ful, but his words wero thoso ot a grown man and a scientist and his hearers smiled broadly at hearing him roll fluently from his tongue the polysyllabic technical terms of his craft.

Tho keynote of cleanliness Is espe cially sounded with respect to keeping pet nnlmalB in tho ktchcn. Tho fur of the cleanest of them must como In contact with many things which we would not care to havo touch our food. This Information Is imparted in a bulletin issued by tho department ot agriculture, prepared under the super vision of the office of experiment sta tions. It Is entitled, "Care of Food In the Home," and is for freo distribu tion. Its author, Mrs. Mary Hlnman Abel, has advanced many new ideas and called attention to many simple house methods that mako for cleanli ness and wholcsomcncs8 of foods In tho homo. Smoke as They Discuss Tobacco's Harm 5M0KIHC INJURES! A WITH smoke curling from their vnrl flavored cigars, heart specialists from throughout tho country who re cently attended the congress of Amer ican physicians and surgeons gath ered In Washington to discuss wheth er tho prolonged and excessive use of tobacco meant "sudden death." At the close of a lengthy debnto they woro far from reaching an agreement as to what was tho real effect of tho uso of tobacco on tho heart. Dr. H. L. Elsnor of Syracuse, N. Y., Introduced tho subject by discussing tho Influence ot tobacco on hyperten sion In tho circulatory system. Smo king in moderate amount by grown persons might not bo Injurious, ho said, but hq expressed n belief that smoking was Injurious to those who had hereditary heart afflictions. Dr. Judson Daland of Philadelphia Taft In Quandary; TO be tho White Houso cook and pro para the food for tho president, his tamlly nnd guests Is an honor, but to bo tho brldo of an Irish policeman de tailed for duty at tho executive man sion has proved moro attractive to Martha Peterson, who has resigned. Now when Mnrtha decided to bo come tho wife of Policeman Mulvoy sho thought of her cousin In Sweden, who sho says 1b a better cook than herself. So sho recommended her cousin to the president as tho chef. Tho president was considering tho ad visability of having Mrs. Mulvey's cousin to como over to Washington to io tho White House cooking when the question uroso; la Swedish cooking m American Industry to a great OSSIP Wireless Wonder pcared Impressed by what ho said. When ho had finished his argument against tho bill the boy turned prophet. Ho said that In ten years It would be possible for portions on land to communicate, with distant points by wlrelesB. "If a man has nn automobile break down 26 miles from homo, ten years from now," he said, "all ho will havo to do will bo to take out his wireless kit, call up his butler and tell him he will not come homo to dinner." Master Stokes also Informed tho members of the committee that for eign nations wero far ahoad of the United States In the development of wireless telegraphy and blamed tho era of wireless stock exploitation this country has experienced. Ho said there were between 25.000 and 40.000 boys In tho United States Interested In wireless telegraphy and expressed the belief that their expprlments would prove of great valuo to tho na tion In the future. Young Stokes la the son of the pro prietor of the Ansonla apartment ho tel In New York, and will bo remem bered as the first person to devise a receiving box for tho interception of wireless telephono and telegraph mes sages. This device was perfected in Sep tember, 1908, on tho roof of his fa ther's hotel. It was the result of long and secret experiments in which tho boy was unaided. When his Inven tion was examined by wireless ex perts they pronounced him an electri cal prodigy. Ono of tho most Important sugges tions is that In regard to ptomaine poisoning. Ou this subject the author any 8: "Food may become dangerous oven before it shows outwnrd signs of de composition and tho danger hardly bo recognized without laboratory ap paratus. It is no uncommon thing to hear that a largo number of per sons attending a banquet wero taken violently ill within a fow hours. These cases of wholesalo poisoning general ly occur in summer nftor a heated term. It is a safe rulo to eat spar ingly of foods liable to changes In hot wcathor and whero tho serving of a largo number at ono tlmo brings a strain on tho culinary forces, when material Is certain to be served which has been prepared a considerable time in advance." Mrs. Abel thinks ordinary kitchen mothods fall Bhort of todny's require ments, especially with respect to sanl tary science. Tho old fashioned ha tred for dirt is not enough. This ap plies especially with respect to the cleaning of kitchen utcifslls. For In stance, boiling has long been known to kill whatever was tho cause ot "spoiling" food. However, most house keepers did not "boll out" the milk cans, etc., but simply scalded them. told of a family of four whoso parents had died of causes other than angina pectoris. Threo of the brothers, cigar manufacturers, who wero compelled to smoke more than 20 cigars a day, developed angina pectoris, while a sister at the ago of 52 never had suf fered from tho disease. So far the anti-tobacco men had had the floor. Dr. R. G. Curtln of Phlla delphla roso to stem the tide. He told of CO cases of angina pectoris, In which seven of them were In femalo subjects. "Women commonly do not use to bacco," said he, "although I hear re cently they are taking it up." Ho pointed to Japan, "where boys begin to smoke at nine and girls at ten, and whero angina pectoris Is not common," to prove that tobacco did not causo tho disease. Ho said It might aggravate tho disease but not cause It. So might tho mind, for that matter, he said. Ho told of an Epls copal bishop who always had an at tack of anglnn pectoris when ho dravo up hill and of another patlont who was accustomed to havo an attack of this dlseaso when ho ran for a streot car.
