scalp was solid scale all over. The
burning and itching was so severe that
she could not rest, day or night. We

read of the Cuticura Remedies. We at

box Of Cuticura Ointment and one bot

first dose of the Cuticura Resolvent,
we used the Cuticura Soap freely and

Invalid Cookery.

Physicians agree that the proper
preparation Of food for the sick Is
often of more Importance than medi-
cines.
Arrange the tray as daintily as pos
sible, cover the tray with a spotless
cloth that just fits the tray. Select
the choicest china, making frequent
changes to avoid monotony. 1t Is. sur
prising what small things make or
mar the happiness of an invalid
Arrange the tray as nearly as pos
sible as one does the table service.
If two or three courses may be served
to patient, have one removed before
the other is brought.
Avoid crowding the tray. Serve
small quantities of food. 1t Is better
to send for more than to spoil the
appetite by serving too lavishly.
All foods which are intended to be
served hot, should be placed in heated
dishes and kept covered until the pa
tient is reached
Equal care should be observed with
cold dishes.
Never consult patient in regard to
his menu. He will inform you if there
is anything he especially desires. The
meal that is a surprise is more apt to
create an appetite.
If liquid diet must be used, make
It as full of variety as possible. Often
milk is Objectionable and it forms the
chief food Vary 1t by adding rennet
or making the milk into koumiss or
adding a sparkling water like Apol
linaris.
Barley and rice water are used tc
reduce a laxative condition.
Toast water is used in extreme cases
of nausea.
Clan water may often be retained
when the stomach refuses to retain
other food
Oatmeal water may be drunk on the
hottest days when ice water woulC
be dangerous.
Fruit waters are refreshing, cooling
and stimulating and they are also val
liable in acids and salts.
Beef tea, If made from the frest

more than $22,000,000 are applied to
211 works. Of this amount about 10
per cent is for the restoration or the
maintenance of completed projects at
1876 localities, SO as to secure the con-
tinuance of benefits resulting from
past expenditures. Practically 20 per
cent is for the prosecution OF work
on the Ohio, Mississippi, Detroit, Hud-
