In the sickrOom.

Many devoted and wen meaning
home nurses wonder why their pa
tients do not improve or have such te
dious convalescence. The fault offer
lies with trintng errors in nursins
which they think do not matter, yet
which drive the sick one half to fren

Here are a few hints that may
make illness more bearable :or the
long suffering invalid.
See that the doors do not creak.
Hinges should be rubbed with soap nr
oiled at the beginning Of an Illness.
1t IS maddentng to be awakened from
ffttul sleep by an unnecessary
noise.
Do not bang doors nor yet open
them with such OBSERVATIONS silence
as 10 make tine patient think he is at
deaths door.
Never talk in brawllng tones "a a
sick room; or on the other baud do
not whisper. Anything the patient
SHOULD not bear should not be dis
cussed in his presence. A buzzing
horsefly is no more annoying than the
siek.room conversation in Kissing
Whispers.
Walk lightly and uncreakingly If
you can not cultivate a light step,

just got through with a very strenuous
rehearsal

not be appreciated as they should have
been. Those durn "stings" did hurt.
