FEEDING THE SICK.

1t is perplexing question oftentimes
what to get for an invalid that he Cal
eat and that he will relish. Never ash
the patient what he wants. Make every
meal surprise, and beware of weari
some repetition. If you have served
dish once in day, do not, under any
circumstances, produce it again fol
twenty-four hours at least, unless the
attending physician orders it.
If the patient expresses desire fol
anything, and it is prudent for him tt
eat it, get it that very day. Do not wal
until tomorrow. He won't want i
| then.
Have everything about the tray dainty
Put your prettiest cloth and china on it
Sacrifice the prettiest flowers on YOU
plants for it. They will be appreciated
Remember that when the patient II
feverish only liquid food should be giver
him. Solid food will increase the fever
Never give sick person bread lightly
toasted and soaked In butter. 1t Is indi
gestible. Toast it through and through
and serve it hOt-not lukewarm-with
out butter.
TOAST WATER.
Toast piece of bread until it is toast
ed alike all through. Break in small
pieces and pour little boiling watel
over it. Pour the water off and serve
hot.
BEEF TEA.
Broil small piece of the best steal
until it is well Drowned on both sides
but not cooked through. Cut the meal
into small strips or squares and salt
Then squeeze the juice out. II one has
beef press this Is simple matter, (anC
every pantry should have one.) II you
have not, do the best you can by placing
a few pieces on an inverted saucer, and
grinding with the bottom Of another.
WHEAT BISCUIT CRUEL.
Put one pint of fresh milk in double
boiler. In this place whole shredded
wheat biscuit. Let cook two hours with
out stirring. Take off and salt. If the
cruel cooks rapidly, when cold 1t will
cut like cheese. When wanted 1t should
be re-heated with an equal quantity of
fresh milk, and probably will need bit
more of salt.
This Is the most innocent and easily
digested cruel that can be made, and Is
usually relished by the patient.
PoACHED EGG, HYGIENE FASHION.
Add a few grains of salt to the white
of an egg and beat until dry; turn into
a buttered glass and form nest on the
top for the yolk. Put the glass on q
trivet in covered dish of lukewarm
water, and let cook until the egg is set
and rises in the glass. Do not allow the
water which Is around the glass to boil.
Serve at once.
