She will bring a huge plateful of jelly
or big Dasinful Of beef tea to him and
he will reject it with disgust, because
the sight of so much food is distaste-
full. If she brought a few spoonfuls at
time and served them dantily. he
would he glad to eat.
Give little food at time. and give
it often. That which is eaten willing
ly and with relish is far better than
double the amount swallowed with dis
gust.
IT time is fixed for the patients
meals. always be p,inctual. If kept
waiting. most sick people lose their de-
sire to eat, and will reject the food
when it is brought 10 them.
Be careful never to leave food in the
sick room N the hope that the patient
may eat it presently. Miss Florence
Nightingale, the worlds most famous
nurse, says this will prevent them from
taking food at all.
Never take a large quantity of any
thing at one time. thinking that be-
cause the patient had liked it before he
will like it again. In nine cases out of
ten sick persons appetite is capri
cious His food, therefore should be
varied as mucn as possible.
Don't rely to much on beef tea. 1t
is useful stimulant, but is not really
nourshing, as most people suppose it to
be.
Re particularly careful to serve ev-
erything in the dainticst style. Glass
should be bright. silver FURNISHED, nap

all the difference in the patients appe-
tite.

THE BOY PROBL EN-.
Make Boys Believe In the Natural
Goodness Of Human Nature.

The world is not all roses for young
| men who have to make their way
Probably you do not know how hard
] it is, Do not blame your son if he
seems to sulk sometimes and appears
utterly disheartened. Try to make
him tell you his troubles, and above
all make him feel that you believe in
him even If nobody else does.
Many lose their chance because they
lost heart when the real opportunity
comes knocking at the door.
II you are mother you can help
your son much by encouraging him to
face the dark times.
Some day, perhaps. another woman
will be able to give him those little
words of encouragement that mean so
much, but in early life he ought to
be able to look to his mother, know
ing that even when his prospects look
blacklist she will restore his conf
dence in himself and make him ready
to face another day.
Everyone has met the cynical young
man who goes through the world with
-sneer. He will tell you that it is
impossible for anyone to succeed hon.
estly in the business world
iHis type VI young man Is certainly
a problem. 1t is hard to reason with
him and harder to spur him into en-
thuisasm
But think even young man of
this sort can be won to sweeter and
healthier views by the right home
influence.
After ALL it is the greatest DUTY
of women to make young men believe
in the natural goodness or human ma
ture- If a mother allows her sons to
grow up believing that the world is
ruled entirely by the bad and. the dis
honest she must expect them to get
a warped and distorted view of life
which will check their progress.
The world is not all bad. Bad men
there are without a doubt. But there
are masses of business men who keen
their consciences clean.
A young man who thinks otherwise
has missed something that should
have been part of his education.-l

BAD FOR ECZEMA
Water Frequently Aggravates skin
 Troubles

In certain inland European districts where water is seldom used for bathing purposes the people are almost immune from skin affections. The best authori- ties now agree that soap and water are to be avoided in the treatment of skin diseases, particularly eczema when pres ent in the scalp or on the feet, as water is an irritant, and when not actually the cause of the disease, at least aggravates it. For this reason prescriptions put up in liquid or soap form, or containing grease or alcohol, have always failed.
 The new skin remedy, poslam, is fiesh-colored ointment, containing no grease. Under it's directions soap and water are forbidden. It may be used on the tender skin of infants with soothing and beneficial effect, and in eczema cases stops the itching immediately, rapidly restoring the skin to it's normal condi- ton.
 Every druggist keeps both the 50-cent size (for minor troubles) and the 8 jar, and either of these may be obtained at Jacobs Pharmacy as we'll as other relia- ble drug stores.
 But no one is even asked to purchase poslam without first obtaining a sample package, which will be sent by mail, free of charge. upon request, by the Elmer gency Laboratories. B West Twenty-fifth street, New York City
