CONTAGIOUS DISEASES.
How to Proceed 10 Prevent Spread
ing the MaIady.

In caring for any contagious disease
at home there are certain precautions
to be observed 10y the nurse for her
own safety as well as the spread of the
disease. Free ventilation is one of the
most important items. The better the
ventilation the less the chance of conta-
gion by diluting the air. To insure this
take q board about a foot wide and the
length of the window and slip 1t under
the window opened to admit II. This
provides a constant current of fresh air
through the middle opening between
the two sashes and without danger of
drafts. Then by opening the window
from the top short distance several
times an hour the room is kept thor
oughly aired.
Prolonged contact with the patient
should be avoided, and no food or fruit
that has been in the sickroom should
be eaten by any but the patient. The
person filling the Office of nurse should
never eat without previous and thor
ough washing OF the face and hands.
Ordinary soap and water cleanliness Is
not enough. This must be supplement-
ed by some disinfecting preparation,
preferably a solution of to 1900 cor
rosive subllmate.
For the prevention Of contagion TO
others strict quarantine should be
established. An upper room should be
used II possible, and the furniture
should be US severely simple as is con-
slstent with the comfort OF the patient
If there. is a prospect of long Illness,
two small cots will prove a great con-
venience. By placing them close to-
gether 1t is easy TO move the patient
from one to another when changing the
bedding and also permits each to be
thoroughly aired each day.
Preferably the floor should be bare,
with two or three light rugs that can
be cleansed when the quarantine is re-
moved. All draperies of wooden should
be dispensed with, likewise pictures,
books or any upholstered furniture or
bric-a-brac that viii not stand dlsin-
fecting. In severe cases an excellent
precaution for the safety OF the rest OF
the house Is to hang a sheet portiere-
wise before the door of the sickroom
and frequently saturate II with diluted
carbolic acid, so that whenever II is
necessary to open the door the air pass
ing out of the room is purified before
reaching the halls. The nurse should
also be provided with several loose cot
ton gowns TO wear In the sickroom,
changing them IL permitted to go into
other parts of the house.
Nothing must go out of the sickroom
until disinfccted. The dishes used must
be thoroughly scalded before sending
the tray out of the room. At the end
of the disease the room and its con-
tents, including both nurse and patient,
must be thoroughly disinfected.

Kennedy Jury Disagrees.

After having been out just % hours,
In which six ballots were taken, the
Jury in the case of DR.. Samuel j. Ken
nedy, on trial for the murder of Dolly
Reynolds in the Grand hotel in New
York city three years ago, was dis
charged without having agreed upon ii
verdict. Knowing that the failure TO
agree was almost certain assurance
that he would never be called upon to
face the horror of the electric chair. the
defendant smiled when he heard the
simple announcement of the foreman,
Joseph E. Aue. The last ballot taken
showed eight of the jurors for acquittal
and four for conviction. Kennedy has
been released in $4,000 bail.

How to Secure Good Cows.

D. III. Otis, assistant professor Of
agriculture of Kansas, says good cows
can only be secured by selection. He
says: Not by buying, for such cows are
seldom for sale. In nearly every herd
there are at least a few good cows.
1t is only by persistent selecting, feed
ing and crossing these with a No.
dairy bull that the average farmer
can hope to possess a herd of choice
dairy cows. How can a man tell his
best cow? The only way yet invented
Is through the record of the scale AMI
the Babcock test. A man often thinks
he knows his paying COW without keep
ing record, but usually when his
Judgment is placed alongside of the
