FOOD FOR THE SICK.
How to Prepare and Serve IT In
Tempting Way.

AS the patien: begins to regain health
and strength more solid food IS given
milk or cream toast, soft boileu or
poachcd eggs. cereal muShcs. steWeu or
sometimes fresh fruits or a well Daked
potato. Great care must be taken not
10 overtax the digestive organs. Re-
lapses are often caused by too much In
diligence Of the patients appetite at
this stage. One must advance slowly
and with great care. \ hrolled blrd or
piece of rare beefsteak or chop may
be given when the patient is in suth-
ciently advanced stage OF recovery.
Oysters are almost always allowed and
are both palatable and easily digested
If perfectly fresh and not too much
cooked. When they are overlooked,
the albumen becomes hardened, very
tough and difficult to digest. Cook
them only until the gills begin to curl.
Cream SOUPS are valuable. as they are
nourishing and easily digested. but
they should not be boiled too long.
A great deal of attention should be
paid to the serving Of food for SICK
person. The faint appetite of illness
can best be coaxed by the daintiness OF
the food. Serve the food on a tray with
a fresh. white cover and be careful not
TO put so much on the tray as to crowd
If. Better to serve too little and let the
patient ask for more than to put so
much on at one time that the sick one
Is Immediately discouraged. A flower
or a little sprig of green laid upon the
white tray cloth is often an incentive
to the Indifferent appetite, but do not
attempt vase Of flowers unless it be a
very small and dainty one. Have the
tray set with the prettiest china and
glass obtainable, without too much COL
or, so as to weary the eye. If the china
is all Of q single pale tint, the effect
will be very dainty and pleasing to the
eye Of the patient. 1t must also be
small enough to accommodate the size
Of the tray. Never let the tray or re-
mains Of food served stand in the sick
room after the patient has been fed.
Let all hot foods be served imme-
diately after they are prepared. and it
seems superfuous to mention that all
hot dishes must be hot and all cold
dishes equally cold. However, this Is
not always done. Sometimes both the
cold and hot dishes are allowed to
stand until they reach the same tenn
perature.
There are great many simple, dain-
ty desserts which may be served to the
invalids, especially those made with
eggs and gelatin. Ice cream is often
given and is very nutritious and can be
digested by some very i'll patients, and
it Is almost always relished.

HOW TO BE HEALTHY.
Rules to Be Observed In the Matter
OF Diet and Exercise.

of Diet and Exercise.
Positively avoid habitual diet COM
posed too exclusively of one kind Of
food, such as meats or cereals. Such
a diet leads inevitably to disease.
Many cases Of sickness. palpitationS.
scuryy, skin diseases and headache
are directly due to this improper diet.
Bear in mind that sugar and all
sugared or sirupy substances, unless
sparingly used, are the most injurious
Of the foods in ordinary use. They
render digestion imperfect and by
their seductive taste are liable to in
duce overeating.
Eat sparingly of fruit, preserves.
veal, pork, young lamb, kid. ham. ba-
con. sugar. vinegar. spices. fats. OILS,
fried foods. pastries, cakes, rich des-
serts, strong gravies, hot freshly baked
bread and foods which form adherent
pastes.
Avoid cold drinks at mealtime. ex-
cept in hot days. Avoid uncomforta-
bly, hot drinks. Avoid eating at irreS-
ular hours. Never overrule your appe-
tite, which is the best index Of the
amount Of food you need, except In
the course Of diseases that require a
special diet
Satisfy your appetite, not your glut-
tony; satisfy your thirst. not your
craving.
Salt your food sufficiently, because
salt Is an aid to digestion, but not
more than needed to suit the taste.
Eat less rapidly and chew your food
more. The stomach wants only we'll
chewed food. The teeth were made
for that special purpose. If they are
Door or missing, seek the dentists AID.
Avoid violent exercise and severe
mental e1ertion just after meal, but a
moderate exercise, as walking, Will
aid digestion.
Wash your hands with soap and wa
ter before each meal. even If they 90
not appear unclean.
Brush your teeth inside and outside
at least once a day, and rinse Jour
mouth after each meal.
When your stomach is out of order,
give it a rest by fasting half a day or
by taking only little fluid food.
Remember that the wholesomest
meats are beef, mutton and poultry
and that beef and mutton are most
easily digested and wholesome when
broiled, roasted or stewed, not fried.
Remember that pure water is the
most natural and wholesome beverage.
A glass of pure water every morning
before breakfast will so far toward
preventing sickness and extending life
toward the century mark.

How tho Chinese Count Time.

The Chinese sundial embodied the
usual principle, but was crude indeed. A
rod or needle set upright reflected shad-
ow on a fiat surface as the sun moved.
On this were characters indicating the
hours Of the day. The Chinese also used q
water clock called the clepsydra. 1t was q
disk of copper or other material, with an
extremely small aperture, from which the
water trickled, drop by drop. The clepsy-
dra of Canton Is thus described by trav-
eler: cit is vase of copper. tits situated
in q pavilion built on double aroh that
crosses street leading from the great
south gate of the city to the palace OF the
treasurer of the province. Like that which
existed and perhaps exists still In the
Peking observatory, 1t Is composed OF four
copper vases, whence water runs from one
to another by little tubes fixed at the base.
The vase that rests on the floor has on Its
wooden cover kind Of HANDLE crossed by
a rule mounted on a float and covered
with characters representing the hours.
When the water has run out-that Is, In
the morning or evening-it Is poured again
into the uppermost vase. There Is little
brick staircase by which the attendant as
cends.
sin the temples there are attendants
whose business it is to hang up placard,
with white ground, on which Is indicat-
ed the hour. They strike the hours of the
day on a drum, and at night they beat q
gong. The attendants who thus look after
the flight of time occupy the intervals be-
tween in making sticks Of incense, on
which are marked the hours. These are
sticks so arranged as to burn a certain
length Of time for every hour, and these
are used by peasants and others. The
stick is lighted when the gong sounds,
and in this way the private individual can
keep very tolerable account of the hours
US they pass. New York Ledger.

How to Avoid Chapped Hands

1t is claimed that no one need suffer
from chapping Of the hands if care is
taken to rinse them in running water
after washing with soap. When run
ming water is not available. the basin
Of still water should be absolutely
fresh and clean for the rinsing, as it is
the alkali Of the soap remaining in the
water that causes the trouble. Only
the purest soap should be used.

A Stop In TIme May Save . Sermon

One Of the elements Of successful SER
mon is timely and effective close. Many
a grand effort has utterly failed for lack
of remembering this. A climax is reached,
the impression Is vivid, then, alas, "a
few more words" and the influence gained
is frittered away. WEAKNESS takes the
place of conviction, and the truths uttered
before are forgotten. There is no use in
banging away when one has commenced
to fire blank cartridges.-Syrscuse Chris

A River Of Ink.

In Algeria there is river Of ink. In the
upper part of its course it flows through
beds of decaying moss, In the lower part
through strata Of iron ore, and thus,
through the combination OF the two, Its
waters acquire very nearly the color and
something of the taste Of black ink.

How to Treat the Lips.

The lips should never be rubbed with
strong scent. such as eau de cologne or
vinegar or lemon. Friction Is also
very bad for their well being. Lips
may be only a pale pink. but if they are
smooth and soft they will look at
tractive. Rouge Is also very bad for
the lips. Some women have stupid
way Of "biting the color into their
lips" Not only does this unwise prac-
tice make the skin very sensitive, but
It also thickens and swells the lips till
they lose all charm.

Must Build Reservoirs.

| when reservoirs must he tu,ilt and
managed as a part OF the national sys-
tenn of forest and water conservation.
They cannot be successful if construct
ed, however, without through system
Of forest protection. The introduction
OF practical forestry on the forest re-
serves has now begun The general
policy as announced in an outline
memorandum to the commissioner Of
the land office is that additional forest
reserves, with boundaries drawn Ia
l'berate the smallest amount of scrip,
should be created during the winter.
The good will Of the residents in or
near the reserves should be gained
forest fires guarded against. and the
resources Of the reserves should he
made available for the conservative usc
OF the people. Systematic investi-
CATION designed to make them access
ible and useful should be undertaken
and each forest reserve and part there
OF, should be dealt with on it's own
merits.
1t is recommended that construction
at once begin as follows: 1.-The San
Carlos storage reservoir in Arizona.
recla'minS 10000 acres or more of
public land at an estimated cost of
,UOo,ooO; reservoirs in the Sierra
Nevadas in California, for reclaiminr
desert lands in Nevada; the diversion
OF st. Mary's river into the head
waters of Milk river in Montana. An
appropriation of S25O,OOO is asked to
carry on the hydrog raphic work Of the
geological survey
The report says thai the act of June
5, 1887, known as the timber and stone
act, il not repealed or radically amend
ed, will result ultimately in the des-
truction of the timber on the uuapppo-
rated and unreserved public lands.
