CARE OF THE SICK ROOM,
Above All Things the Walls Should
Sc Kept Dry.

When tho bedroom becomes a sick
room there is an added reason why ex-
IRENE precautions should be used to
keep the room in a thoroughly sanitary
condition.
Above all things, the bedroom should
never be damp. 1t should be nice and
dry always warm and comfortable in
winter cool and airy in summer and
bright and sunny some parts Of the
day.
If there is any suspicion Of damp
ness in a bedroom it is probably due.
if there is wallpaper on the wall to
the absorption Of water by the paper
which frequently acts as a blotting pa.
per and holds quantities Of water in it.
The use of wallpaper on walls is to
be deplored; it means disease, i'll
health and unhappiness. 1t is fire.
quently the cause of lung trouble, not
only because of its dampness but also
because Of its power to retain infec-

Inc desired method OF treating

bastined wall is a perfect wall 1t
never fakes off, chips or peels 1t alb
serbs moisture and eXpels it, it opens
the pores Of the plaster and makes a
room liyable and breathable.
The floor in the bedroom should
have light, cleanable, dainty rugs that
can be easily shaken and a floor that
is thoroughly oiled or vanished, that
will not absorb moisture, The cracks
in the floor should be thoroughly filled
and covered. Woodwork in the bed
room should be attended to carefully,
window stills should be thoroughly var.
nished or waXed, and the window cas-.
ings kept in perfect order. The doors
should be wiped Off frequently as also
should be all the standing woodwork
in the bedroom as the presence of
dust on woodwork is a menace to
health as well as an evidence of poor

GRIT SAVED HIS LEG.
Rsnchman Rode Far After Most serl
Gus Injury

Jack Farland, a Eanchman living at

post Office is Midland. in this county,
yesterday suffered a broken leg by
being caught between a horse which
he was riding and a timber wagon
which he was attempting to pass
while en- route to this city, says the
Cripple Creek Times. Farland dis.
played the greatest of pluck by riding
on to Victor after suffering the injury,
although he said upon arriving here
that he felt several times that he must
give up. Knowing, however. what
difficulty would attend any attempt to
dismount, and how well nigh impossi.
BILE it would be for him to remount in
the event that he succeeded in getting
safely off his horse, the rauchman
gritted his teeth and kept on. After
having his leg set by surgeon of
this city, FarIand collapsed and it
was late in the afternoon before he
was able to proceed homeward in a
carriage, the accident having hap.
pcned early ia the morning.
