How to Prepare and
Serve Foods for the Sick.

II Is not always best to consult n sick
person about what he or she would fam
cS 10 eat, for sometimes when there is
NOT the slightest desire for food. If SOM
littie dellcacy, nicely prepared and dain-
lliE served. comes To the patient Us a
complete surprise, it will, after all, be
thoroughly enjoyed
1T IS very important that food for a
SICK person should be carefully preDared
but even if beautifully cooked the mn
tleht VIII not enjoy it if it is not nicely
served. The tray containing the lunch
con should be covered with a snowy
ci"th-h possible use a fresh one for
every meal. Have the food in the pref
tlest and daintiest glass or china of
which you are the possesSor. If YOU
have small, dainty teapot. never take
the tea, coffee, or cocoa to the patient
ready poured. Instead, place your tiny
teapot by the side of the cup and saucer.
and. if the patient is able. she will enjoy
pouring 1t for herself if not, She will ut
amy rate be sure of having it hot. and
that none of it is in the saucer or on the
cover of the tray.
Try never to crowd the tray with the
food or dishes. 1t is better to serve
everything in small quantities. Food.
especially to an invalid. if served in large
quantities, has the tendency to lessen the
appetite.
A nice way to serve toast to an invalid
is to cut it in small strips. known as
lady's fingers, and place it between the
folds of Il snowy napkin. If a fresh cut
flower or even a tiny spriS of green be
placed beside the patients napkin. it will
add to the attractive appearance of the
tray and what it contains
Eggs are usually much employed as a
food for invalidS, though, of course. in
some cases these cannot he used. The
best way to poach an egg for most in
valids, is to use milk in which to poach it
instead of water.
Broths for sick people should he entire
~ free from the slightest appearance of
grease. If possible they should be made
some time before they are to he used and
allowed to stand in IL cool place so that
the grease will rise to the surface. 1t
can then he easily skinned off before the
broth is heated. If however there is
grease on the top of the broth at the
time of serving it to the patient. run Il
piece of coarse blottng paper over the
top two or three times; or if this is not
at hand, use a crust of bread, although
this is not quite so good as the botting

The Girl Without a Brother.

The girl without brother is especially
to be pitied
She is the girl who is never certain Of
getting the pleasures of life unless she is
very attractive
She is apt to get Il little bit vain for
she has no brother to tell her as only a
brother will, of her faults and mistakes,
1t is only the somewhat doubtful tact
of brother that announces Il wouldn't
walk up the street with you in that
frock. You look like Il holy fright" And
the girl whose brother says this to her
may be certain that he is only expressing
the opinions of the other girls brothers.
lie may not do it in the most gentle
way, but he does tell the truth. and if
You ask him why he pays a visit to one
girl he will sit down and look at you
as he says:
well. you see. it is just this way:
From the time you get there she is
nice girl. who gives you pleasant well
come. ana yet doesn't gush over YOU.
She doesn't say nasty things about peO-
pie. She is a restful sort of girl. who
doesn't expect you to do something that
tires you half to death, and when she
says goodbye to you, you feel certain
that she is pretty glad you came, but
she doesn't look at you as if you were
the only man IN the world.
That is the kind of . description that
the girl without Il brother cannot get.
Then she doesn't hear the criticisms
of men that fellow would rather not
have his sister 80 with. and she is very
apt, poor dear, 10 make a few little ms
takes The wisCst course for her to pul-
sue is for her to choose as her most
intimate friend Il girl who has wise
brother. and reap the benefit Of his
counsel.-Chicago Inter-Ocean.

Moderate Enthusiasm

Life Without Love.

Is it worth having: Wen. hardly. We
may not he sentimental. We may be
the most matter of fact person in the

very foolish, however. we must aDprp-
ciate the help love proves in all walks Of
life Without love would the tired moth

One-tend and wait on the ailing child
all night: Without love. would the
father be always anxious to get on in The
world. and be helped in his daily work
by looking forward to the evening at
home! Most of us know the difference
love makes in the countenance of the en-
gagged girl and man.
Certainly, the knowledge of it changes
their outlook III every way; whist lOyc
entirely alters the relations of Il brother
and sister. With it they are chums, and
take an interest in all thar concerns one
another Without it they are strangers
probably, with the ordinary restrictions
of good manners removed. No. Even
the most matter of fact among lis must
own that IT'S love that makes the
world 90 round. and certainly the uu-
happicst person in the whole community
would be the one who was doomed to
life without love" were it possible to
find any such.-EXchange

Rules for the Unframed Nurse.

Obey the physician unquestionahly
Don't talk about the patients condl-
ton III her hearing.
Never give medicine without the ld-
wee of the doctor.
DO not talk to the patient. nor TO any
one else. of what she talks of i'll de-
hrium
Move around the room in a light gen
tie way, letting your very step hespeak
the cheer of your heart.
Show your confidence in the swift re-
covery of your patient.
Act as if it were pleasure to do the
task before you.
If You have not naturally low. firm.
pleasant voice. cultivate one. 1t can
he done. Recoveres have been retard-
ed by Il hoarse, rasping voice or u shrill
high one that grated on the nerves of
the patient.
Don't fuss and fdget about the room.
CalmnesS, an air Of knowing what YOU
are about to do, will inspire confidence
and respect in the patient.
If you are inclined to be fidgety. pro-
vide yourself with sewing or embroid
cry, and sit quietly. Don't talk to the
patient unless her recovery is so far
progressed that you are expected to en-
terrain her.
Don't seem To be iii hurry ut any
thing. Nothing SO composes the patient
as composed nurse
Never trust To your eyes in giving
medicine. Always measure accurately
with a drOpper or marked glass, says tie
Philadelphia Bulletin,
Never give anything. inwardly or out
wardly. without carefully reading the
label twice Fatal mistakes have been
made by nurses who thought they
knew.
Don't arrange your hair, work over your
nails, or fuss over any part of yonr
toilet in the presence of the patient.
Don't wear squeaky shoes. or clothing
that rustles ana rattles. Rubber heels
are necessary in Il sick room. \ pair
of white canvas shoes, such rs N.ere
worn iii the summer, are me- tgr iiiis
purpose
Never sit down on the bed, or lean
upon it. An inexperienced nurse will
do this without dreaming of the extent
to which it irritates the patient Have
chair handy, or stoop over.
DO not touch with your hands a..'-
thing the patient is TO put in her mouth.
In offering her pill, place it first npon
a teaspoon.
Doa't taste the food you offer her.
Don bring more than she can eat And
never let it stand around in the hope
that she may eat it later, every vestige
of the me"l must be removed rs soon as
the patient has finished.
Much Of the above may sound E@e
platitudcs, but it is perfectly true that
many home nurses whose conscientious
ness would not permit any great oyer
sight may vet with the best intention
in the world he guilty of many of these
little annoyances which set the nerves
of Il sensitive patient ON edge. Boston
