As for estimating paperâ€"the. avemge* roll of wall paper is 8 yards long and 18 inches wide.

Wall papering for instance, a job that sounds worse than it is.> Or at least, it‘s not ‘so hard if we do it the rignt way. ~If we just wade in without following the proper procedure, we‘re apt to wind up with ourselves pasted and papered inâ€" stead o the wall. We hope that‘s fair warning to read directions before startâ€" mg'â€"instgad of afterwards as far too many of us do about such mattérs. | It is well worth while to learn . to hang wall paper if budget is um;ted for the big cost of having a roomâ€"repapeéerâ€" ed is the labour rather than. the paper itself. ‘Even with a fat Dudget these Gays, it‘s hard to get workmen, so the Sskill will come in handy!. Just for the practice, it‘s a good idea to start with back room or an attic room. nc ds eB seR t se Then before you st,a'rt ‘at the job ot - hanging that pretty paper, there m certain basic steps you must bake ‘to prepare the walls for new paper. â€" . For papered walls, the best results are always achieved if you remove all old paper before trying to apply the new. A pail and warm water and a wide brush are: your imple;hents Wet and Now scrape ‘off the The: Materials You‘ll Need. : 1 Here "are the materials you should have: ladder or step stool; long table or planks on two sawhorses; pastebrush (6" Kalsomine Brush); 11 or 12 inch scissors; broad fiat brush or a plentiful supply of large clean cloths; folding ruâ€" ler; a good ‘sharp knife for trimming and a whetstone for keeping it sharp, an apron with large pockets, sheet or large cloth to protect floor. ‘ This bright and gay bedroom takes its colour cue from the wall ‘paper : which is lavish with green ‘leaves, shell and red berries on a white ground. The quilted headboard, flounce and bolitér on the bed repeat the red in the â€"wall paper, while the spread and bed framesâ€"are white. The rug is â€"textural weave in green and the curtains are stripedâ€" i: and green. Altogether a colourful room th has as unexpected tranquility. â€" The reasonâ€" much clutter all over the place; the wall pap ries all the responsibility for design interest. The next step is the sizing coat for any plastered Wall surface you are reâ€" wapering, as well as for a (wallâ€"board [ Repalr the holes and cracks in a plastered walil by mixing plaster paris ‘on a board. a little heap of the plaster powder and make a. hole in the ‘middle of the heap with your fingerâ€" fill the hole wtih water and let the water seep through, wetting the plaster. ‘Use the wet plaster to fill cracks and noleg, applying it either with the fingers ‘or a ‘broadâ€"bladed knife. ~~â€"â€"â€"â€" Feor Unplastered Walis " For unplastered board walls, pull off ‘all the paper you can and if the canâ€" vas underneath is ragged and torn, take off allâ€" the loose parts. Retack the old canvas where needed and replace with new canvas where necessary. Stretch ‘canvas as tightly as possible and tack }all over, using small canvas tacks and ‘a magnetic tack hammer. â€" T P e h o oo o o2 t e s oo o oo it hoi o oo n P ) :2 Lk es o t a .. ‘surfgee, or .over old wall paper. The easiest way. is to nse ‘a commercial. size as ‘directed on the package, letting it ‘dry before hanging paper. You can get size at any paint or wall paper store. The same thing goes for pasteâ€"get a bag of wall paper paste and mix as directed . es es en n P SE Cutting to Fit f Now for the paper, cut strips of paper the ‘length needed and lay strips on top of each other and right side down on table with left end of paper even with left end of table and right end of papéer hanging over right end of table. To do ‘this you take a roll of Â¥4 pmt ‘of paint (light in colour); !% pint of linseed oil. If this is too thin, thicken with whiting. â€"~â€"For a really good job you should apply the Swedish putty to â€"the: entire ‘wallâ€"board surface, then sandâ€"paper and size as for any plasâ€" tered wall. ‘For celotex or other wallâ€"board walls, hide all the naills and joinings by apâ€" plying what is known as Swedish putty â€"â€"5 lbs. whiting, boited; 4 gal. liquid glue (% lb. glue to â€"gallon of water) ; paper with a ‘broad spraping knife, beâ€" ing careful not to go too deep and mar theâ€"surface of the wall itself. weave in green and the curtains are stripedâ€"in white and green. â€"Alitogether a colourful room that still has as unexpected tranquility. â€" The reasonâ€"not too much clutter all over the place; the wall paper carâ€" head of the table or leftâ€"hand end, grasp the paper at the corners with | thumb and foreâ€"finger of the right and _left hand, li:t the paper high and walk _to rightâ€"hand end of table. Drop the paper carefully over the right end of the paper on table so pasted sides are stuck together and see that edges are even. Double the folded paper once and pull the strip down to left end of table si> that unpasted end rests on taâ€" ble. Don‘t press down the fold. Proâ€" ceed to paste the remaining right end of strip in the same way. Carry folded paper over. left arm with the Jong fold nearer body; ascend ladder high enough to reach molding line easily and then turn around on step and face out and extend left foot with heel resting on step. Then take ends of long fold between thumbs and forefingers and allow paper to unfold till lower fold strikes your foot, This ‘breaks the fall of the heavy pasted paper and prevents tearing. Hold paâ€" per in same manner and lightly press left had corner:to wall and even with angle of wall. Then press paper to wall, take smoothing brush and brush from lowest exposed pasited area to top, then from night to left. If rag is used inâ€" stead of smoothing brush, pat instead of rub,. Crease a line of pasted piece of paper which projects about mould line., ‘After balance of â€"top half of strip has been placed, lightly pull back enough of sheet to cut top along this crease, then smooth paper back. Grasp corners of strip and walk toâ€" ward left end of table, dropping this strip over pasted: section so are even and the end meets end of first fold. Double this fold too. Now take sharp scissors or sharp knife and trim left sand selvage off each strip. Put asiide and paste several strips before Coming down from ladder, take lower section of strip which is still folded and pull it down to unfold it and go over this lower half in same manner as upâ€" per half, creasing it at baseboard and cutting it off with scissors. hanging so paste can soak in. If you have done a proper folding job, half the battle is won! * How to Carry the Paper When you are ready to hang the paâ€" per, start at corner of room and depend on right angle of wall for vertical guide. Hang first strip in left corner fitting trimmed side into corner. â€" ! tures, Inc.) It‘s a very hard job to do it after it‘s to losing their own lives in the atâ€"1 temp‘.

However, in this method the author or originator of this method Dr. Mauri Massler, director of the child research clinic at the Tilinois School, takes the measurement at the xiphoid process. To get this exyact spot you feel the top of lowest rib in front and take the chest girth just below it which comes across the xiphoid or lower part of breast bone. ‘The tape is drawn flgb{ly with all the air out of the chest (deâ€" filated). The method is to take a deep bredath, breathe all the air ccompletely out, and then take measurement. The girth or measurement is taken in inâ€" ches. This figure is divided by 4, and the result is squared, that is multiplied by itsel{. This figure is then multiplied by the person‘s height in inches and this last figure, divided by 27, is what you should weigh. By Ianm W . Barton, M.D. New Method of Gauging Correct Weight ~I hnappen to, be one of the many ‘physicians who have tried to work out the correct weight for any or every type of individual man or woman. I have had my own figures which covered children and adults in all walks of life, thousands of preparatory school boys and many thousands of university stuâ€" dents. I had the opportunity also of examining the measurements soms years ago of the members of the largest branch of the YM.C.A. in the United States Up to the present I have not been able to work out a system of proâ€" péer weights. Two systems I have exâ€" amined were better than any I had been able to work out but they were not quite satisfactory either. Mrs. Robert Eddleston, 12 Maple steet, Timmins â€" a daughter." "Mr. R.
