HOW TO FEED AN INVALID.

HOW TO FEED AN INVALID.
Few things are more difficult than
to get a sick person to take nourish.
ing food, and no task, as a rule, is
worse managed. Amateur nurses may
be successful in other matters, but
they generally make a failure OF the
food proposition.
The nurse is usually to blame when
the patient will not take enough food.
She will bring a huge plateful OF
jelly or big basinful of beef tea to
him, and he will reject it with dis
gust, because the sight Of so mucn
food is distasteful. If she brought
few spoonfuIs at a time and served
them daintly he would be glad to eat
Give little food at time, and give
1t often That which is eaten willing
ly and with relish is far better than
double the amount swallowed with
disgust
If time is fixed for the patients
meals. always be punctual. If kept
waiting, most sick people lose their
desire to eat, and will reject the food
when it is brought to them.
Be careful never to have food in
the sick room in the hope that the pa
tient may eat it presently. Miss
Florence Nightingale, the worlds
most famous nurse, says this will pre-
vent him from taking food at all.
Never take large quantity of any

out of ten a sick persons appetite is

60 YOU LEAVE YOUR CARD?

mooted question of etiquette just
now is whether or rot visiting cards
shall be left when going to formal
luncheon. That is, shall the guest.
on arrival. put down her card as
when at a tea?
In England such guests invariably
send in cards. but there is reason
for that which some women assert
does not exist here. In London
luncheon guests, when the outer door
IL open, put their cards on the maids
or buffers tray. The guests them
selves go at once to room to re-
move their wraps, and such rooms in
London houses are on the street
floor; the drawing rooms there are
Invariably one flight up.
The hostess, from the cards that
are presented to her, knows Of the
arrival OF her guests, even before the
individuals themselves reach the
drawing room, and so her mind is
at rest in regard to them.
In this country the situation differs
In that the dressing room is up one
flight and the drawing room on the
street floor. But the fact remains that
wraps are to be removed, and the
guests are in the house at least five
minutes before they see their hostess.
Unless cards are put on a tray and
brought to the hostess when the
friends arrive the hostess does not
know of their presence until they
actually enter the drawing room.
As with all innovations, this Eng.
fish fashion has both its supporters
and its critics, yet in the season just
past and in the country season now
beginning 1t is being adopted by de-
grees. Fashionable women rarely
move without their card cases at
hand, save in the evening when 60
ing to dinners. If the servant open.
ing the door has no card tray in hand
that is not the fault of the visitor,
and her pasteboards may be left at
the first convenient spot.
A woman had always better err on
the side OF leaving cards than Of not
leaving them. When woman is
paying visits and finds that her cards
have been exhausted before her calls
are done she had better stop and do
them when her case is refilled. Maids,
even the best, are merely human, and
when their mistresses are not at
home may not always remember to
give the name of a person who has
called without cards. More than once
this has happened and when the &C

KILL THE CHICKEN MITE.

The common bloodthirsty chicken
mite is the worst pest the poultry
man has to contend with. It lives
and breeds in cracks, crevices and
corners of the roosts. building, nests
and elsewhere in the poultry house.
It generally attacks the fowl upon
the roost or nest.
The best remedies for mites are
cleanliness, sunlight and spraying
with disinfecting solutions. The
poultry house and fittings should be
so built as to be easily cleaned. The
walls should be smooth and as free
from cracks as possible. Nests,
roosts and dropping boards should
be easily removable to allow spray
ing of their entire surface and the
walls beneath them.
There are several preparations for
the eradication of mites, among the
best of which is cresol soap.
Shave or chop one five-cent cake
of laundry soap into one pint Of
soft water. Heat or allow to stand
until soap paste is formed. Stir
in one pound of commercial cresol
and heat or allow to stand until
soap paste is dissolved. Stir in one
gallon of kerosene. For use dilute
with fifty parts of water, which will
make a milky colored liquid.
Commercial cresol is coal tar
by-product and may be obtained from
the druggist at about 80 cents a
pound. Care should be taken not to
get any of it on the hands or face
as 1t will cause intense smarting.

ing schools, still tuition and cost OF
living have gone up greatly. 1t is
in the select training school that the
cost has been pushed up. In these
fashionable schools the girls are
taught to wear expensive gowns, to
affect taste for jewelry Of the most
extravagant sort and to carry much
spending money. The discipline Of
these schools has been relaxed to a
certain extent, giving the girls more
leeway in spending money, and many
parents now admit that the yearly
cost Of their daughters education
amounts to $4,000 and often to $4,000

SELECTING THE STOCK.

The poultry-raiser who knows and
understands the individual points Of
each hen in his flock is the one that
will obtain success. He can do much
to improve the capacity of his hens
by setting eggs from those that
prove to be the best layers. 1t is
better to purchase eggs from pro-
fessional breeder who deals honestly
when he offers selected eggs at a
higher price than to buy eggs Of
purebred fowls from second-class
stock. If the breeder takes no care

! CARE OF EGGS IN HOT WEATHER
The following are among the re
quisites mentioned by a United State:
agricultural bulletin to the placing
of eggs on the market in proper
condition:
l. Keeping hens that produce not
only goodly number of eggs but
eggs of moderately large size (weigh
ing two ounces each on an average)
Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes, Rhode
Island Reds, Orphingtons, and Leg
horns or Minorcas that are used on
egg farms are varieties that may be
expected to do this.
2. Good housing, regular feeding
and watering, and, above all, clean
dry nests.
3. Daily gathering of eggs. and
when the temperature is above so de-
grees, gathering twice a day.
4. The combining Of all broody
hens as soon as discovered.
5. The rejection as doubtful of all
eggs found in a nest that was not
visited the previous day. Such eggs
should be used at home, where each
may be broken separately.
6. The placing of all summer eggs
as soon as gathered, in the coolest
place available.
I. The prevention at all times OF
moisture in any form coming in con-
tact with the eggshells.
s. The disposal of young cocker
els before they begin to annoy the
hens. Also the selling or continlng
of old male birds from the time that
Matching is over until cool weather in
fall.
9. The using of cracked and dirty
as we'll as small eggs at home. Such
eggs, if consumed when fresh, are
perfectly wholesome, but when mar
keted are Disseminated against and
are likely to become an entire loss.
10. The marketing of all eggs at
least once a week, and oftener when
convenience allows.
II. Keeping eggs as cool and dry
as possible while on the way to town
and while in country stores,
u. Keeping eggs away from mus
ty cellars or bad odors.
10. The use OF strong, clean cases
and good filters.
IA. The shipping of eggs to the
final market at least once a week
and as much oftener as possible.
An egg forty-eight hours old that
has lain in a wheat shock during a
warm August rain would, it is said,
probably be swarming with bacteria
and be absolutely unfit for food,
while another egg stored eight
months in a first-class cold storage
room would be of much better quail
ity. The flavor or odor of an egg
may be noticeably Influenced by the
feed of the hen. This has been de-
monstrated by feeding hens heavily
on onion tops or garlic. Eggs. by
storage in musty cellars or in rooms
with citrus fruits. vegetables, fish or
cheese, may become so badly flaw
ored as to be seriously objected to
by a fancy trade, and yet there is
no means of detecting the trouble
without destroying the egg.
The general store, where the great
majority of the eggs first leave the
farmers hands is, the bulletin says,
above all the weakest spot in the
industry. The merchant cannot can.
die, for he has not time, facilities or
knowledge; and what is still more
significant, he does not want to can
die if he can help it, because the
farmers trade is worth more than
the loss on eggs, and as long as COM
petition exists the first effect of can
ding will be to disgruntle the farm
ers and lose their trade.
