to decide which he should send to repre-

Nothing proves better than a good dry

Hot wooden blankets greatly assist in
pulling a patient through serious neu-
raiIic pains. Another great help in the
sick room is found in the use Of wool
cloths smaller than blankets. These are
made by cutting one or more thick wool
blankets into four or six pieces each. Do
not finch at cutting up a blanket. Con-
slider that the object is 10 get the sick
one restored To health. The price of a
pair of blankets would go but a little
way on Il doctors bill. and these wool
squares will last for years, for use in
the sick room. They can be c,eansed and
put away from moths between whites.
Nothing is more handy. They can be
heated and tucked around the patient az
desired, being heated often enough to
keep up the necessary warmth. This
gives much comfort and induces sleep.
