ALL OVER THE HOUSE.
Suggestions For the Sickroom-Pre-
vention of Bed Sores.

SVuIiOII VI Leu SOTSSs
Bed sores are liable to occur in
any long illness, especially where
there is paralysis of both limbs and
back that involves the nerves that
provide nutrition for the tissues.
Usually, however, they bespeak a
neglectful nurse. They are first
shown by permanent redness of the
bony prominences where the patient
rests. If not attended to the red
ness soon becomes purple, followed
by more serious conditions that are
hard to cope with. This the nurse
must prevent, first by keeping the
under sheet absolutely smooth and
free from crumbs. Battle the back
from four to dozen times day
with alcohol and water, half and
half, dry carefully with the hand,
then powder. Make also a ring
cushion filled with hair or cotton
or use circular air pillow covered
with linen or cotton and place the
sore spot in the center.

EIderberry Wine.

This is fine old fashioned wine,
such as our grandmothers used me-
dicinally. Strip the berries from
the stems until you have five gallons
if you wish to make it in quantity.
Add ten gallons of water and cook
twenty minutes before straining
through a hair sieve. Do not press
the berries too closely, as you wish
the wine to be clear. Measure this
and return to the boiler. Allow to
each gallon of the strained juice
three pounds and half Of granu-
lated sugar and the juice of five
lemons. Cook twenty minutes and
turn into keg or demijohn, which
should be nearly full. When cool
put in yeast cake soaked in tepid
water. Let this stand until fer
mentation is complete, then in about
six weeks rack off and bottle.
