Boston was early distinguished as the
home of letters. James Franklin, an
older brother of Benjamin, established in
1921 a periodical which he made the
organ Of a company of literary gentle
men whose common characteristic seems
to have been total disagreement with
each other. The object of the journal
was ultra revolutionary in tendency, be-
ing generally to show the world the
events of the day by assaulting all estab-
Iished beliefs and conventional manners
and customs. Attacks were leveled in
discriminatory at the British government,
the preachers and finally incubation. The
aged Puritan minister, Increase Mather,
protested publicly against the iniquity Of
the vile Courant and warned it's sub
scribers against being "partakers in other
mems SINS" James Franklin was put in
jail for month and forbidden to print
or publish the Courant or any pamphlet
or paper of the like nature except it be
first supervised, and he was finally oblig-
ed to leave Boston, like his brother Ben
jamin, and journey to more liberal
minded community. w ashington Tins.

HEAT AS A CURE ALL.
Here Are Some Good Suggestions For
the Amateur Nurse.


the Amateur Nurse.
When a patient is not confined to the
bed, it may be well in case of throat
trouble to use cloths wrung from hot
water, but under no consideration Is it
safe to use water about a patient in bed,
Notwithstanding the belief Of many In
the efficacy Of hot water as q cure all,
writes a woman who knows in Good
Housekeeping.
1t is heat, not moisture, that quiets
pain. Wet cloths retain heat only brief
time, but they do something else. They
dampen the bedding and the patient s
clothing, to his great danger. Often the
dampening produces serious cramps,
causing excruciating suffering, and those
in attendance, thinking the cramps are a
part of the illness, keep up the wet cloth
treatment instead of Fastening to change
the wet clothing for dry. There have been
cases where death soon followed such
treatment
Nothing proves better than a good dry
heat to quiet pain. Hot water bags and
bottles are excellent if perfectly tight.
Hot sand bags also are good to place be-
side the body and limbs. A relay Of hot
plates wrapped in wooden cloth will do
wonders in giving relief to patient.
In any case of serious bowel trouble 1t
is well to follow up with relays Of hot
plates, light weight earthen, or better
still, because of their lightness, are the
tin plates such as are used by bakers, be-
ing always careful they are as hot as can
be borne and not too hot and wrapped In
cloth.
This remedy will allay Inflammation
and pain to a wonderful degree. 1t is
also excellent in rheumatism of the hip,
knee or ankle. A frequent change of hot
plates well wrapped in wooden and placed
beneath or over the suffering joint as the
patient lies in bed will bring great relief.
Hot wooden blankets greatly assist In
pulling a patient through serious neural
gic palms. 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 blank
cts into four or six pieces each. Do not
finch at cutting up a blanket. Consider
that the object is to get the sick one re-
stored to health The price of pair of
blankets would go but little way on a
doctors bill, and these wool squares will
last for years for use in the sickroom.
They can be cleansed and put away from
moths between whites.
Nothing is more handy. They can be
heated and tucked around the patient as
desired, being heated often enough to
keep up the necessary warmth. This
gives much comfort and induces sleep.
Beware of dampened beds and clothes,
even in health.
