Changing the Sheets.

When the patient Is strong enough
the sheets on the bed may be changed
after the bath. This can be easily
managed after little practice. The
fresh sheets should he well aired and
warmed. The under one is changed
first. Turn the patient on one side away
from you and roll the soiled sheet
tightly close TO the patient. Lay the
clean sheet ON the side OF the bed
near you aud tuck It In at the side.
The other side of the sheet Is folded
closely beside the solled one at the pa
tents back. Go around to the other
side Of the bed, turn the patient back
on the opposite side and gently pull
out the soiled sheet from underneath.
Then draw out the folds of the clean
one and tuck 1t in well at the side and
end. Pull the sheet firmly until 1t Is
straight and make sure there are ne
wrinkles under the patient to cause
bed sores. To change the upper sheet
loosen al the bedding, put the clean
sheet and blanket on top and then
with one hand hold the clean sheet
and blanket and with the other slip
down the soilod clothing underneath,

After the transaction was concluded
Phoebe ran back TO the cottage and
donned an ancient skirt and knitted
jacket. On her head she tied a pink
sunbonnet. and over her feet she drew
rubber overshoes. She packed a small

rod and line from the woOdshed, locked

eager fishermen. for biuefsh were run

Save This Game Bird.

Honest hunters throughout the
country should get together in an ef-
fort to protect the maIIard duck. Hunt
ers should read this from the Boston
Post:
According to James Henry Rice,
Jr,, naturalist OF high repute, one of
the finest Of aquatic game birds, the
beautiful mallard duck is absolutely
doomed to extinction unless better
work is done by many of the states
for his preservation.
AT Big Lake, Ark, in one winter a
single pot hunter sold 5000 mallards.
and from that point 10000 of them
were sent to market. 1t is estimated
that in the parish of Calcasieu, La,
last winter, 100000 of them were kill
ed, and tons of them were slaughtered
at Lake Malheur, Ore, for their feath-
ers. A few years ago in Canada, along
the great lakes up to Hudson bay, the
robbery Of hatcheries was a regular
industry and millions of mallard eggs
were sold, their contents being used
in the manufacture Of glue Canada,
with its customary genius for conser
walton, has put an end to this wicked
traffic
Most states. if not all, provide close
seasons for the benefit of the mallard
But the harm is done by the fearful
slaughter permitted during the open
time. No birds can long survive tbs
annual killing of millions of their
kind. Unless the pot-hunter and the
game-hog are repressed. the mal!ard
will soon be like the wild pigeon
sought after earnestly, but never
found
Something should be done to save
this beautiful game bird, or in a few
years it will be as scarce as the wild
pigeon and prairie hen.

WASH THAT ITCH AWAY

1t is said that there are certain
springs in Europe that give relief
and cure to eczema and other skin
diseases. If you knew that by wash
ing in these waters you could be re-
lieved from that awful itch. wouldn' t
you make every effort to take a trip
to Europe at once? Would you not
be willing to spend you last cent to
find the cure?
But you need not leave home for
these distant springs. Relief Is right
here in your own home town!
A simple wash of Oil of Winter
green, Thymol and other Ingredients
as compounded only In d. d. d.
Prescription will bring instant re-
lief to that terrible burning itch, and
leave the skin as smooth and healthy
as that of child.
If you have not already tried to
get it, get at least a % cent bottle
today. We assure you of instant
relief.

Captain Amos and Phoebe had

life object was to accumulate great
fortune. He succeeded but at the
expense of his health.
For several years he spent little
time in his seat his many business
interests claiming his constant at
tention. In one Of the committee
rooms he improvised an office and
there with the aid of a long distance
telephone he supervised his inter-
ests. He never took rest or va
cation. 1t was work, work and no
play. One day his physician said to
him: eff you don't let up and rest,
some day you will feel a snap in
your head and then the end will
come" Elkins said he would take
things easier as soon as he could get
his affairs in shape. That time he
deferred. Recently he felt the
snap" in his, head and was obliged
to seek rest and quiet. Perhaps it
is too late He has worn himself
out.
Senator Elkins is like the average
American business man. They toll
and slave and plan. They seldom
rest. By the time they have accum-
ulated fortune they are worn out.
Even then they continue to plan and
toll until the snap" in the head tells
them their time has come. They
have worked too hard.
The man who has passed the 40th
milestone must rest. He mast hus-
band his strength. If he does not
snap in his head will admonish
him that he is worn out.
