PAINTED WALLS BEST FOR SICK ROOMS

The walls of the room used for sickly members of a family should be

painted so they can be easily washed. The painted wall is the only clean

wall. A papered wall is an abomination where there is sickness, and a

plastered wall can be made safe only by frequent whitewashing. But the

painted wall may be washed with disinfectants when necessary, and when

painted some dainty shade it is never a trial to sick eyes.
