A young nurse of my acquaintance
was found early one morning uncon-
sclous on the entry floor. Upon inquiry
the doctor learned that from Monday
morning till Thursday night she had
been without sleep or even enough
time of to bathe and change her
clothes. OF course she was extremely
foolish to permit such a thing on the
patients account as well as her own,
but It was her first private case, and,
feeling shy about obtruding personal
wants in time of general stress, she
had relied on coffee and determination
to pull her through. The stale Joke,
"Why. do you have TO sleep? Thought
You were trainedr unfortunately con-
tains not a grain Of exaggeratlon.

days nursing, a night spent In spong-

nurse was still in charge. No one had
given her night lunch breakfast OF
even a cup Of coffee. She had been on
duty for twenty-six straight hours,
working strenuously all the time. Not

equal to taking her place or indeed
dreamed of the necessity Of doing so

About the Ice Chest

Keep the ice compartment full Of ice.
The mare ice the greater the econ
omy.
DO not put hot foods into the refrig-
orator.
Do not flood the refrigerator with
boiling water.
Ice saving schemes are absurd, de-
feating the purpose of the refrigerator
1t is the food that is to be kept in
stead Of the ice. Keeping ice in the
sick room or at a picnic is another mat
ter.
Overripe fruits and vegetables are a
menace to the health If left in the re-
frigerator.
A cellar OF other damp place is nc
place for the refrigerator On the other
hand, it should not be put out Of doors
unprotected.
If much ice be used on the table and
for other purposes an authority advises
a storage box for this extra ice.
1t should be sponged out often Will

been dissolved. and the drain should
not be neglected.

Do not think Of covering the shelve
with cloth or paper any more than yo'
do the ice. There must be good circu
lation, with consequent melting Of ic

THE KNOCK OUT BLOW.
Effects Produced by the PuEiIirtis
Jolt on the Jaw.

1OAN ON Anf jaw
Ill boxers know the knock out blow
on the point OF the jaw, and not few
have lively recollections OF what It
feels like, but probably not one In a
hundred has any idea why the trick
has such effective and to the performer
valuable results. The generally accept
ed theory was that the Impact Travelled

Cure of Whoopine Coueh

II WhoOping cough IS treated in the !
very beginning of the attack the dura-
ton of the disease Is much lessened. |
Also, it is during the fist stage, be-
fore the characteristic cough develops,
that there is danger Of info ctioh, wi4tos
Eunice Grey in the North American.
After this cough appears the possible
ity of contagion rapidly diminishes un-
til by the eighth day the infection mol
longer exists. This Is conclusiyely
proved by the fact that after the spas
motto cough has appeared the bacillus
Of whooping cough is not discovered
in the sputum. For this reason child
who is suspected Of having whooping
cough should not mingle with other
children until the six or seven days
necessary to develop the disease have
expired. After the cough has asserted
itself the contagious period has passed,
and the patient will not transmit the
infection.
Within recent years a serum has
been secured which, it is asserted, will
effect a cure in from five to eight days,
il injected as soon as the diagnosis is
certain, and the earlier in the stage of
the disease the injection is made the

side. OF sixty-six cases so treated the
serum failed in only five. Effective re-
lief and in many instances rapid cures
result from the inhalation Of gases from
the coal oil products, carbolic acid and
creosote especially. Fumes from sui
phur and formaldehyde are also exten.
ssvely used with good results.
The formaldehyde treatment is said
to have given permanent relief in 2
period of three days. The patient mus
be seen during the first eight or ter
days, and is kept in seclusion in wei
closed room, where a temperature o
from 65 to 20 degrees is maintained

Care is observed in keeping the room
tightly closed. The assertion is tina

in the use of eucalyptus. A piece G

When in the middle ages an author
at any European university desired to
publish his thoughts his book was read
over twice in the presence of the au-
thorities and If approved might be cop
led and exposed for sale, a practice in
which the germs for state licensing
may be readily distinguished. II was
evidently necessary, however, to keep
q strict watch over the persons en-
ployed in this business, and the stat
utes Of the University of Paris show
that the booksellers were subjected to
a very severe discipline. They were
obliged to keep list Of the books they
sold and TO exhibit their scale Of
charges, and they were forbidden to
purchase any manuscript till II had
been duly approved by the authorities
and publicly exposed to view for four
