Death Temperature in Fever

~REQUENT arguments are heard
as to Just how high it is posi-
BILE for the temperature of a
fever patient to go before recovery
ia out of the question. Many pro-
sessional nurses and, indeed. not a
few physicians, have related instances
of where fever patients tempera-
ture has assembled to almost uDbe-
lieveable heights and still was fol-
lowed by a recovery.
Some very interesting experiments
bearing on the possibilities lying along
this line have been made at the Tou-
louise Institution Of Science in France.
As q result IL is claimed that 109 de-
grees OF fever must kill the patient.
This is the temperature as taken III
The human mouth, but in the blood
OF such a patient the heat will have
risen to about lib degrees.
In such cases experiments are now
said to have proved that the white
corpuscles cannot live an hour, and
even at two degrees lower death must
follow II this lower degree Of fever
Is maintained for over three hours.
The blood being made up OF the pias-
ma or the liquid material and OF the
red and white corpuscles, the fever
seems to kill the vitality of the white
corpuscles without in1uring the red
ones.
The cause Of fever during Illness,
and very few, IL any, mortal diseases
exist without causing high fever,
SCENE to be the chemical reaction
in the blood caused by the effort Of
the white corpuscies to kill the dis
case bacteria. Hence the fever is a
part of the cure Also with two or
three degrees Of fever the white cor
puscles are far more active and power
full than al the normal temperature
of the well man.
The fever then IL really the heat Of
battle, but the brave white corpuscles
have q limit to their fighting strength,
end when the heat Of this battle be

a LII women who do embroidery
~ work are sure to have on hand
broken skeins OF embroidery
silk, for which there seems to be no
use. Instead Of allowing these to be-
come a tangled mass or throwing
them away, keep them neatly wound
on cards, as they may all be used
sooner or later.
Instead of buying baby ribbon to
tie up parcels, open several skeins OF
various colors, and, asking some
friend for aid, twist diligently In
different directions until a thick, rich
colored cord is formed. Sew the ends
firmly to prevent untwisting, then
tasten through them tassels OF diff
ferent color. Thus, the cord may be
made of red and green, with gilt tas-
sells: two shades OF blue can be used
In the twist and a third tone for the
tassels.
Another use for remnants OF EN-
broidery silk is TO darn them into
buck or canvas background for the
bottom OF work bags. cardcases or a
border In frames. With an eye to
harmonious coloring, dozen different
shades may be used with advantage.
Where the colors appear 10 clash they
can be toned down by occasional lines
Of black. The third use for such left
overs is to substitute embroidery silk
for ribbons or braids as drawstrings
tor workbags. Select from the odds
and ends shades that are as near the
tones of the bag as possible. Wind
each skein on a reel of paper and
have one Of black.
With a coarse steel needle crochet
all these colors in a single chain
stitch until there are two cords, each
q few inches longer than the width
OF the bags top. To each Of the ends
crochet tassels. Cut into equal lengths
two and a half or three inches. and
draw a dozen OF the pieces at once
through the end chain stitch. When
tassel is thick enough tie the upper
part to form a thick head and trim
off all uneven ends at bottom of tas-
sci. These cords are not alone artis-
tic, and use up odds and ends of
silk, but they draw up more easily
and last a great deal longer than rib
bon.

NE OF the principal consider
atoms OF dressing for wo-
~ man OF so years Is that OF
avoIrdupois. This has more
real meaning than the matter OF
years, and as far as present fash
ions and materials go, they are vel
adapted for the elderly woman. The
question OF age sets no limit on 'he
materials selected. The elderly wo-
man may wear either muslin or
BRIGADE, or she may run the gaunt-
let between either with a feeling OF
confidence In their appropriateness
10 her needs. At the present time
she is 10 longer restricted TO SILK,
MORE and grenaidne.
With the suitability Of a garment
co:ors have more to do with the ma
terai than anything else. Elderly
women cannot afford TO grow reckless
In their selections of colors. A bright
strong color can seldom be worn with
any degree OF becomingness by an
elderly woman, while as long az she
keeps to the low, subdued shades she
is quite safe. A touch OF some warm,
soft coloring is generally TO be rec
commended, although one OF the pre-
yailing beliefs is that q somberness OF
colors Is absolutely required.
Many things in woman's person
al appearance are in all accord with
this idea. The soft shades OF ashes
of roses. pale blue, shades OF gray,
the light and deeper ecru shades. all
shades of purple from the deep roy
al to the pale mauve. and the darker,
richer shades OF red bordering on
maroon are all colors which are be-
coming to the vast majority OF
women near SO.
The success Of the elderly woman's
appearance depends on the little
points Of dress. Such things as the
arrangements OF the neck and waist
line are very telling points in the
toilet A belt, such as is worn By
women with slender Faists shouia
never be used, as Il accentus;es the
worts points Of the elderly voman's
