HOME
NURSING
THE SICK ROOM.

The choice OF the sick room is very
important. A patient in dark. poor
y ventilated one has harder battle
TO tight than one In a properly select
ed room It should be on the sunny
side OF the house, well ventilated and
as far as possible from the noise Of
the streets and the odors Of the
kitchen.
In arranging the room, all unneces-
sary furniture should be removed, es'
peclally brlca.brac, which forms a
repository for stray germs. The floor
Is preferably bare. although small
rugs or strips of carpet should be laid
down to deaden the noise Of foot
steps. Place the bed in position 80
that tho direct light from window
does not fall on the patients eyes.
Provide an artificial light that also Is
shaded from the patients eyes, but
which can be turned on brightly in
case Of necessity. Sudden changes may
arise In the night, when a good light
IS an absolute necessity and few mo-
ments delay may mean disaster. In
cases Of diseases of the brain or eyes
the physician will probably wish to
keep the room darkened Care should
DO taken that the curtain or shade
does not flap In the wind and 80 annoy
the patient.
The temperature oP the room should
be kept as even as possible. Remem
Der that the temperature usually falls
at night during the time when the vi
tai powers OF the patient are at the
lowest, that is, In the early morning
hours. Because OF this, care should
be taken to provide extra covers at
that time. Unless otherwise directed
II is safe to keep the temperature OF
the room for fever patient at about
60 degrees Fair. For patients atilict.
ed with other diseases, the thermome
ter should register about 6S degrees
Eahr The temperature Of the room
must be regulated by turning the arti'
fetal heat of or on, not by closing
windows that are needed for ventila'
tion. In some cases dry heat from a
furnace is very irritating This may
be remedied by keeping kettle OF
boiling water In the room. To keep
the room cool In hot weather Is not
always an easy matter Keeping the
blinds down and the windows closed
on the sunny side during the day will
produce very good results. A wet
sheet, hung in the window or where
breeze will blow over II. often is a
material aid In cooling the room. II
an electric fan Is used. care must be
taken that the direct current does not
strike the patient
Good ventilation is necessary in
every disease. Formerly patients were
confined in dark rooms with all doors
and windows closed It is surprising
how many recovered under these con.
ditions. Sunshine and fresh air are
natures two most potent remedies. In
cold weather 1t may not be desirable
to have the windows open in the pa
tents room, but in this case windows
in. an adjoining room should be low
erSd and the door between the rooms
left open. Usually though, the room
can be ventilated directly. Raise the
window about six inches from the bot
tom: fit board tightly under IT.
Fresh air will then came In between
the two sashes and danger of a direct
draft on the patient will be avoided
Every morning the room should be
thoroughly ventilated by throwing

Diaz Palace Stoned.

Authentic report OF serious DEM

the event been kept from the press
outside of Mexico, but the echo of it
has only begun to penetrate by word

The stoning of Diaz's palace came
so suddenly that the police utterly

were unable TO dispense the mob be-

were in the palace at the time, had
been badly frightened. 1t is said that

CLOCK WAS MADE IN 1890

An interesting specimen of a long
clock, made in 1890, is owned by a
gentleman at Lutterworth. it has an
oval face, hand which points to the
days of the week, completing the
round in seven days; one which shows
the true dead beat, and another which
points to the chimes and quarters.
On the upper part Of the clock Is
small orchestra, which includes a
flute, a cello and two violins, and
boy and girl In addition to three sing
ers. The hours and the quarters are
struck and every three hours a tune
is played three times over either on
the bells alone, the lyricord or on
both together" while the three figures
beat time and the boy and girl dance

SUNSHINE AND GOOD HEALTH
Wherever Suns Rays Penetrate HUI
man Life Is Qulckened and Health
and Happiness Promoted.

The sunlight, with it's mellowing
warmth and radiance, is one OF the
great essentials to good health. Where
ever it penetrates, in prudently regu'
lated moderation, it quickens human
life, promotes health and happiness,
and may be truly regarded as one OF
the best friends of man and beast.
The common practice Of providing
blinds, shutters, curtains and other
means for shrouding the windows and
shutting out the sunshine, is undoubt'
eddy a great mistake, and makes for
physical weakness and i'll health. More
window light, more sunshine, and not
less, is what we require. Let all your
apartments. kitchen, sitting rooms,
parlors and bedrooms, too, be flooded
with sunlight as much as possible.
