NEWS FROM MISSOURI
Rights Of q CITY.

In the ase Of L. w. Scott against
the city Of Marshall the court Of APP
peals held that a city has q right to
prescribe the material of which side
walks are to be made and the law gives
1t the authority to condemn sidewalks
that may have previously been laid.
Scott built a brick sidewalk in front
Of his dwelling in 1879. He also plant
ed trees. In 1900 the council changed
the grade Of the street, passed an ordi-
nance calling for artificial stone side
walks and it's regulations were such
that the cutting Of the trees in front Of
SCOTS residence were made necessary.
Scott objected and brought suit for
damages in the local court. He was
victorious and the city appealed to
the appellate division, which reversed
the decision of the lower court and in
structed that judgment be entered in
favor of the city.

there is probably less sickness than

Food for the Sick.

There is no branch of the culinary
art which requires more skill than
that OF preparing food for the sick
and feeble. The purpose OF food AT
all times is to supply material for re-
pairing the waste which is constant
ny going on in the vital economy; and
hence 1t ought always to be chosen
with reference to its nutritive value.
But during illness and convalescence.
when the waste is often much great
er and the vital powers less active. IL
Is OF the utmost Importance that the
food should be of such character as
VIII supply the proper nutrition. Nor
Is this all; an article of food may
contain all the elements of nutrition
IN such proportions as to render it
wholesome food for those in health,
and not be a proper food for the sick,
Tor the reason that it's conversion into
blood and tissue lays too great a tax
upon the digestive organs. Food for
the sick should be palatable, nutri-
tious and easily assimilated. To dis
criminate as to what food will supply
these requisites, one must possess
some knowledge of dietetics and phys
iology, as well as of the nature of the
illness with which the patient is suf
fering and such a knowledge ought
to be part of the education Of every
woman, no matter to what class of So
ciety she belongs.
Hot buttered toast, tea, rich jellies
and other dainties so commonly
served to the sick, are usually the
very worst articles OF diet which they
could partake. AS rule, elaborate
dishes are not suitable.
Scrupulous neatness and care In all
the minute particulars of the cooking
and serving Of food for invalids will
add much to its palatableness. The
clean napkin on the tray, the bright
silver and dainty china plate, with
perhaps a sprig. of leaves and flow
ers beside it. thinly sliced bread, toast
or crackers and the light cup partly
filled with hot Cruel, are far more APP
petizing to the invalid than coarse
ware, thickly cut bread and an over
flowing cup of cruel. though the cook
ing may be just as perfect. So far as
practicable, the wants of the patient
should be anticipated and the meal
served, surprise.

Fully one-half of our so-called sue
