Sand Baq for sickroom.

One of the most convenient articles
to be used In a sickroom is a sand bag.
Get some clean. fine sand; dry it
thoroughly in pan on the stove.
Make bag about eight inches square
of flannel. fill 1t with dry sand, sew
the opening carefully together and
cover the bag with cotton or linen.
This will prevent the sand from sift-
ing out, and will also enable you to
heat the bag quickly by placing 1t in
the oven or even on the top of the
stove. After once using this you will
never attempt to warm the feet or
hands Of sick person with n bottle
of hot water or brick. The sand
holds the heat long time, and the
bag can be tucked up to the back with
out hurting the invalid. 1t is good
plan to make two or three of the bags
and keep them on hand. ready for use
at any time when needed.

Art In Ice Cream Molds.

It is almost an art now to design
molds for ice cream. Often the GUS
toners of the large shops suggest
what forms they wish the cream or
ice for a certain occasion to assume,
and the caterer arranges to have tho
idea carried out In this way many
odd molds are acquired. Flowers and
fruit are always favorite. One may
have roses to match the color scheme
of the table decorations. There are
also tiny automobiles. Teddy bears"

PITIABLE in
The EXTREME
William Laurie Attacked by
Delirium Tremuns
PRAYS ALL NIGHT LONG
Becomes Conscious but is At
tackled Again.
Police officer are Confronted with
One of the Most Violent Cases Of
Tremens in Their History.

| 81 am q traitor 10 my country
and you are going to have me burnt
at the stake" solemnly declared
William Laurie, of Marietta, TO
Officer Bell, Monday evening, in re-
sponse to the latter's query as to
why he was standing in the middle
of the street for such an unusual
length of time. "Who, me?' de-
manded the surprised patrolman.
'Yes, you," answered the expectant
martyr, in forlorn tone.
The puzzled policeman took n
closer look at the man and his eX-
perienced eye discovered that Iau-
rie was in an advanced state OF the
condition which is commonly desig-
mated as "rummy'. "Well, you
come with me aud we'll talk this
thing over" said Bell, taking the
lnebriated one gently by the arm
and steering him in the direction of
the city bastile.
Laurie grew rapidly worse after
being locked up and developed the
most peculiar case of delirium tre-
mems that the local police have ever
encountered. DR.. w. II. Hinklin was
called and found the man in a very
dangerous condition and it was
thought that the inebriate would not
recover, as it was impossible to get
him to take any medicine.
The temporary insane man spent
the entire night in an attitude OF
prayer, and although closely watch
ed, was not seen to move from his
kneellng position with uplifted
hands during the long hours OF the
night. AS long as his speech lasted
it was used in voicing queer dis
connected prayers, and when it be-
came exhausted, the deranged man
continued to make the motions of
speech, although unable to articu-
late.
This morning the man became
rational for a short time and was
induced TO take some food, which
he seemed to enjoy hugely, but
shortly after he again relapsed into
something like his former state and
in reply TO a question as to how he
felt, said ''Pretty good, only my
face hurts me where | tried to shave
with an ear of corn"
