NOTES FOR THE sIcKRooM
The Invalid Has Need That Those in
Charge Look After Smallest De-
tails Conducive to Health.

Keep all medicine bottles out OF the
room. or at least where the invalid can
not see them
Tea and coffee. where a patient Is al
lowed to have them. should always bs
taken Immediately after they are made.
Food for the sick should be Of the best
quality. neatly and delicately prepared.
Every meal should be a surprise. and Il Is
a good plan to leave the patient alone
while eating and never bring him more
than he will probably want.
OF course. every one knows that plenty
OF ventilation is necessary. though there
should be no draughts Of air directly
blowing on the patient.
Each individual disease should have a
peculiar diet Of its own.
II is well not to heap much bedcloth-
ing over an invalid. Down comfor,abIes
are desirable. because they are so light
and AT the same time 20 warm There
are not many things more annoying than
to lie under the weight OF heavy blank
cts and comforters. II Is a good plan 20
wrap an Old baby blanket or shawl
around the feet to keep them warm
Another small blanket to lay against
the back will be appreciated
No food or drinks should be allowed to
remain In the siekroom They should
be kept in an adjoining room or on the
outside Of window. carefully covered.

cool

n week perhaps In one and then a week
In another. This will give variety. for
an invalid tires Of seeing the same fur
nishings and bric-a-brac IN the same
place day after day ard week after week.
II has been suggested that an invalid or
n patient who Is convalescing. and can
ee moved. might sleep in one bedroom
and spend the daytime In an another.
Never tell horrifying stories or any
/ thing unpleasant to any invalid. This
would seem like an unnecessary iniunc-
ton. but It Is n common thing done hy

Paris. March 27.-It is stated in
diplomatic quarters here that among
the conditions OF peace which Japan
might ask would be that Russia give
a pledge to build no more warships
for term OF years. A diplomatic Of
fetal said that such a condition would
be the most effective means OF assur-
ting Japan against Russia's carrying out
her cherished project OF naval rearma-
ment for the renewal Qf hostilities un-

head of the technical board of the ad-
miralty. Capt. Clado. formerly chief
tactical officer under Yice-Admiral

authorities. recently have taken the
position that peace was desirable until
a naval reconstruction could be com

This appears to have stimulated ia
pans diplomats to consider means of
avoiding peace that would be equiva-

which Russia would~have time to forgs
an effective weapon. and therefore the

Paris may have been the channel
through which the results were trans

However. II is noticeable that there
has not been the slightest reference in
French newspapers to the peace move
