FEEDING The INVALID
MATTER or. MUCH IMPORTANCE
IN THE SICK ROOM.
Too Frequently insufficient Attention
Is Paid to This by the Nurse
Serve Food in the 0ainti.
est Style.

Few things are more difficult than to
get a sick person to take nourishing
food, and no task, as rule. is worse
managed. Amateur nurses may be sue
cessful in other matters, but they gen.
orally make failure of the food prop
osition.
The nurse is usually to blame when
the patient will not take enough food.
She will bring a huge plateful OF
jelly or a big basinfuI of beef tea to
him. and he will reject it with disgust.
because the sight of so much food is
distasteful. If she brought few
spoonfuls at. a time and served them
daintily he would be glad to eat.
Give little food at a time. and give 1t
often. That which is eaten willingly
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 de-
sire 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 patient
may eat It presently. This will pre-
vent him from taking any food at
all.
Never take large quantity of any.
thing at one time, thinking that be-
cause the patient had liked 1t before
he will like it again. In nine cases out
of ten sick persons appetite is
capricious. His food, therefore. should
be varied as much as possible.
Don't rely too much on beef tea. It
is a useful stimulant, but it is not
really nourishing, as most people sup
pose it to be.
Be particularly careful to serve
everything in the daintiest style. Glass
should be bright. silver FURNISHED.
napkins lily white and saucers free
from slops These little details will
make all the difference in the patients
appetite.
Always make sure that the patient
is placed in comfortable position to
eat and drink and be careful that no
crumbs are left in the bed.
The practice of putting dishes in the
oven to warm them for the table is q
bad one The dry. heat causes the
enamel TO crack in time and then the
grease soon penetrates them, to their
utter ruination. Put the dishes to be
heated in a dishpan and pour boiling
water over them. Let them stand and
steam until ready to serve the meal,
then wipe with a clean. dry towel.

Remark That Cost a Fortune

WHICH might CONSIDERABLY appreciate
the market price of this stock?"
II have been thinking of that very
thing" replied the younger brother.
II think we can afford to risk a hum
dred thousand dollars With that
amount Of money. we can buy about
ten thousand shares Of the stock"
"You know" said the older brother,
that John S. Kennedy is very good
friend Of ours. and that he has never
given us any unwise counsel; so sug-
gest that, before we buy the stock. we
talk with him."
So the brothers sought out John S.
Kennedy. the canny New York bank
er Of Scotch nativity who had backed
James ]. Hill in his early railroad en-
terprises in the northwest. thereby
making colossal fortune. most of
which he left to charity at his death
in 1909, and after q brief conversation
with him saw that he was inclined to
recommend the purchase OF a consid-
cradle block of steel common, insist

it should be paid for in full and not
bought on a margin.

Mr. Kennedy. that If Mr.. Carnegie

His Useful Work Ended.

Mr.. G. E. Kuhnast. Of the American
coastwise steamer Cherokee. retired
recently from the business Of throw
ing bottles into the sea. after having
cast overheard during his career five
thousand sealed glass receptacles to
assist the United States photographic
Bureau in determining the course and
rate Of flow Of ocean currents. The
bottles are cast overheard with a pa.
or inside. bearing the exact latitude
and longitude and the date, and also
with a request that the finder forward
the paper to Washington. The long

ties was estimated by the hydrograph-

WAS thrown overheard OF the coast
OF South Carolina on February 3. 1901.
