NURSING THE C
Hints for Use in che Absence of
Trained Nurse.

Hints for Use in che Absence of tn,
Trained Nurse.
The Evening Star: Sickness comes
at some time, soon or late, to every
family, no matter how carefully guard
ed' put trained nurses are not always
at hand. On this account, it Is a safe
thing for every woman to know Just
how to prepare and to change a bed for
a person too Ill to be readily moved.
The best bedstead for use in sick
ness is of brass or iron, six and a half
feet in length, two or two and a half
feet In height, and three feet in width.
The mattress should be of hair, as
that can be readily cleaned and dis
infected. Cotton makes the best ma
terial for sheets, as linen is apt to chill,
Three sheets should be in use at a time
the upper, the lower and the draw.
which is placed directly under the pa
tlent. Blankets of good quality make
the best covering, with q lightweight
counterpart at the top. There should
be two large pillows-one Of hair and
the other of feathers-and as many
small pillows as the exigencies of the
case require.
If a rubber sheet is necessary, spread
it smoothly on the mattress. Put on
the W sheet and pin 1t into place
on the upper side of the mattress, so
that the patient may not work it up
into wrinkles. Fold the draw sheet and
pin 1T across the middle of the bed so
that'it will extend from the patients
shoulders to we'll below the hips. Put
on the upper sheet, leaving it a little
loose for the feet, and long enough to
turn over the blanket at the top. Tho
blanket need not be SO long as the
sheet u should be long enough to
tuck around the patients neck. The
counterpart may be of the same length
as the sheet and left long enough to
fold over.
In changing the bed, roll the patient
to one side, putting one hand against
the shoulder n the other against the
hip. Roll the lower sheet up in length
wise folds against the patient, put on
the fresh sheet and the draw sheet,
and pin in place. Protect the patient
with the ppe sheet and roll him over
on to the spread-out portion Of the
clean sheets. Pull the lower sheet
smooth and pin. Put a clean upper
sheet on over the soiled one, tuck in
the clean one and remove the soiled
one.
1t is scarcely necessary to emphasize
'Ae LAY! lLdl III cuanSlnS the Deddlng
everything should be aired, warmed and
at hand, SO that there need be no de-
lay.
Double beds make good sick beds, as
h patient can sleep on one half dur
ing the day and the other half at
night.
If there is any tendency toward bed
sores, make a cushion or use a circular
pillow covered with linen or cotton.
Pads n cushions of all sorts and
sizes may be used to make the patient
more comfortable.
Even in extreme illness, physician:
now decree that bed clothing and gar
ments should be changed every few
days, as nothing is more essential to the
IMMIGRATION and comfort of the in
valid.

KEEP OPEN,
Fresh Air in Sleeping Rooms Will Save
Doctors Bills.


From the Cooking Club: You would
not think of drinking stale or poisoned
water would you? You know that If
you were to be shut in an alright com
partment death would result. OF all
the necessities of life, you can live
! onger without any of them than air.
Impure air and darkened apartments
are the cause OF an untold number Of
Deaths annually. You know hat on a
sunless day, with n close atmosphere.
you are out of sorts at the best, If you
ire lucky enough to escape physical
ailments, while you are mentally de-
pressed. But once let the sun shine
brightly and clear the atmosphere,
how different. how much better you
feel In every way.
Cold weather is coming, and when you
ire tempted to close up the house as
light as 1t can be made, remember
these things, and don't do it, especial
" at night. Keep the windows IL the
sleeping apartments open enough to at
least give sufficient fresh air. A cold
room does not indicate it is healthy,
lar from it. A sleeper will soon breathe
up all the fresh air in a room, and if
there Is not a constant supply of fresh
air he simply breathes over and over
again the poison thrown off by his
lungs. And the breathing of this VIII
ated air only tends to lower the tenn
p%erature and vitality of the system SO
that it is not as capable of withstand
ing the rigors of winter, Fresh air Is
heating to the body; in fact, upon it
depends the combustion of the fuel in
The body, and by which we are kept
Hive. which we should always bear in
mind.
Even with open windows during the
night, bed chambers and bed clothing
should be thoroughly aired each morn
Ing, n allowed all the sunlight pos
sible. During sleep not only do the
lungs throw off more poison than dur-
Ing the day, but it is especially SO
with the body during its relaxed con-
alton and when the pores are all open.
During sleep the body should have
plenty Of covering; better to have too
much han not enough, both to induce
deep slumber and to keep the kin
moist and the pores open that they
may have the opportunity to rid the
system Of poison. Bear in mind that
death would follow the closing of the
pores.
Fresh air in cold weather will cost
money, as more fuel will be required,
but it will be economy. for If it does
not save sickness and doctor bills, and
which it most likely will do, you will
eel better and the stronger for it.

The First Thing Was a Duck.

or course. she was very proud, and
she just sat around there Until the day
came when the eggs Matched.
Well, what do you think?
The first thing that sprang out of an
egg was 4 funny little duck. He looked
up at the hen and said "Quack! uuack!"
and wobbled off.
The old hen al very much sur
prised and disappointed, but her eyes
opened wider when out of the next
egg hoped a long-legged turkey. The
turkey said "Gobble! gobble!" and
strptted away.
The another shell opened and out
stepped a guinea chicken, who said
,B-r-r-r-r!' and skipped out into the
barnyard.
The next egg was a large one, and
when the shell split open a sad-faced
costing stuck his head out. ,
BY this time the old hen was com
pletely bewlldered, and when she saw
the gosllng's head she turned on her
heels and ran as fast as she could away
from the place. She had never seen SO
many funny creatures Matched out be-
fore, and She said afterward that she
9 wanted to see them again.
She will know better next time than
to count her chickens before thew are
Matched.

HENS QUEER FAMILY.

A hen one day took it into her head
to try to guess the kind Of chickens
that were going to hatch out of a nest
of eggs. She eyed all the eggs proudly
as her master placed them in the nest,
and then h began to guess.
There will be a nice swow-white
chick to come out of this SHE'LL she
said. And out of this shell will come a
black chicken, n out of this will come
a little brown fellow. Then, out of that
egg in the middle will Hatch a fine
game chicken, whose feathers, when he
grows up, will be red and green and
golden and brown and yellow. My! my!
what a fine set of chickens 1 shall
navel"

LIFE A LOTTERY.
Chance of Being Born With Health ane

4# Sood CIIipVEs
Mexican Herald: A far northern con-
temporary objects to the phrase, Life is
a lottery and goes on to repeat the time
worn platitudes, that Life Is an oppor-
tunity," a struggle etc. But life may
be both an opportunity and a battle, and
yet have some of the features of q lottery.
In the first place, men and women are
not responsible for their temperament
which makes or mars fortunes, and rem
ders life happy or the reverse. We think
as our temperament inclines us, and here
does fate lay a heavy hand upon us at
the very outset of existence. Then there
is the bare chance of being born Into a
well-to-do family with civilized instincts
and so having the benefit of solicitous care
bestowed on ones health and education.
The child born into a cross-grained, I'M
happy, perhaps struggling family is sur
rounded by unfortunate influences.
There Is the lottery chance of drawing
a health prize. To be born with a strong
constitution in addition to a genial n
care-free temperament is an immense adj
vantage. To be born nervous, rlckety,
subject to fits Of depression from child
hood Is nothing less than n calamity.
Many a man who has won fame, though
handicapped by al irritable disposition,
has confessed how hard was his struggle.
To make enemies more easily than friends
IS the lot Of nan men and women.
No human being can select his time for
entering the world; he may arrive Just
when the lean years" begin, when par
ents are forced to deny themselves and
their children not merely luxuries, but
comforts. The child born Of a care-worn
or anxious mother is marked for moodi-
ness during life. The child whose mother
lis a superstitious. timorousl person is
Handicapped in a world where courage
and cheerfulness are the great success
compelling qualities.
All through life the lottery feature of
human conditions is made manifest. Luck
may easily go past the careful. honest and
industrious and throw its prize into the
laps OF fools. Life is very much a lot-
