THE PLACE TO HELP.
If Not in Sick Room 1t May Be in
Kitchen.

If Not in Sick Room 1t May Be in
Kitchen.
''Think twice before you Offer" Miss
Letitia was warned. 1T isn't the same
as it used to be when neighbors had
sickness. You may be thought officious.
People are all for training and science
nowadays. OF course, several children
so sick at once is bad; but there are
hired nurses, and the parents, and an
aunt. And you wouldn't like to be
snubbed."
81 certainly wouldn't" Miss Letitia
admitted. But she went to the Will
tons the next morning-to the kitchen
door to avoid making steps for the
tired maitland a single glance at
Norah's face, sunken with fatigue, at
the disorderly kitchen, and the huge
basket of soiled clothes and bedding
waiting to be washed, showed her that
help was sorely needed indeed-only
not in the sick-room.
The next day the town was buzzing
with the news that Letitia Lathom was
in the Wiltons' kitchen, cooking the
daily meals of the family. She remain
ed, too, until the last child was con-
valescent.
ct was in the sick-room 1 expected
to help" she admitted, "but saw at
once that was the one place where there
was help enough. They had to have it
it was life and death so they did
have it. But with doctors and nurses
to pay, they couldn't have extra help
anywhere else.
"Norah was fairly rOeling on her feet
with exhaustion. and mountains of
work ahead, and the whole house clut-
tered and things not getting done; and
it came over me in a fash that if
wanted to help, the kitchen was the
place.
''I can cook, So cooked. But if I'd
saved the life of every blessed Wilton
they couldn't have been more CRATE
full! You'd think, to hear them talk,
was a Red Cross angel, instead of just
a passable cook!"
The need of training and scientific
knowledge in the Sick-r0om is recOg-
nized now as never before. There, Of
ten, no merely friendly helper can be
admitted. But in the household over
burdened and disorganiZed by sickness
there is frequently as much room as
ever for neighborly service Of other
kinds. 1t is still possible, usually, to
help, if only one is willing to give the
help anyway, anywhere, anyhow that is
most needed.-Youth's Companion.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1906-12-22
Reyare of OdorIess Gas.

If you do not feel we'll do not jump
to the conclusion that the drains are
out of order. Perhaps it is the gas
pipes. In a majority of houses the
gas pipes leak and let out one of the
most deadly poisons known-carbonic
oxide, which remains in the system for
days, weeks and even months.
Of late years leaSy pipes are more
dangerous than ever, for water gas is
now largely mixed with coal gas. Wa
ter gas has no odor whatever, and at
the same time it is a deadly poison
Hence a very faint odor of gas in the
house should be taken as a danger sig
nal. indeed, there may be sufficient
gas in a room to undermine the health
without any smell being perceived.
Gas has an extraordinary power OF
passing through walls. On many oc
casions people have been poisoned t.
death by gas which came through the
wall from the next house.
Headache, noises in the ears, throb-
bling of the arteries, sleeplessness and
utter inability to do mental work are
some of the symptoms of chronic gas
poisoning. Anyone who suffers from
these and is unable to account for them
should have the gas pipes examined.
