city and the candidates is estimated at
$500, 500.

Food for the Invalid.

Food for the Invalid.
Those who have sick people to feed,
and care for, are often at a loss to
know what to feed them and have 1t
at the same time appetizing and nutri-
tious.
In serving a glass of milk, a cup
of Cruel or beef tea, place on a plate
covered with a dolly.
In cases of kidney disease, the diet
should be limited almost entirely to
vegetables, SKINNED milk and plenty
of water.
Dyspeptic people should avoid all
starchy food and take only the sim
plest diet.
A rheumatic patient should be de-
MED sweets and only the white meats
should be eaten; also gluten bread
and toast.
The hard part Of an oyster should
be removed when serving them to an
Ill person.
Liquid foods are followed by the
semi-solid foods in convalescence.
The old-fashioned method of feed
ing a cold and starving a fever is not
considered good, as science has shown
that plenty of nourishment is required
to repair the waste of the tissues,
caused by the fever.
After the liquid diet the
soups, thickened with rice and barley,
eggs in various forms, milk and cream
toast, chicken and beef jelly and sim
liar foods. Grape juice, lemonade,
haxseed tea, barley water are drinks
that are given frequently, in small
quantities.
After a long illness, solid food
IS resumed very gradually and in
small quantities, as the digestive sys-
tenn must not be over-taxed.
Typhoid fever patients are, as a
rule, very rayenous when they first
begin to improve, and the greatest
care should be taken that they do
not over-eat or take any food that
may cause a relapse.
Scraped beef sandwiches, sage and
rice pudding, bread and milk, baked
apples, Soup with al egg beaten up
In 1t, custard and occasionally a we'll
baked potato may be some of the
dishes that the invalid can eat with
safety.
Later a broiled lamb chop or a
piece of rare beef steak may be
given.
The Penn's Grove record., 1911-03-03
How to DIsInfect.


The careless manner in which many
people fumigate their homes after a
siege of infectious disease is to say
he least criminal.
AS soon as the physician gives per-
mission to move the patient, he should
be given a hot bath and a sponging all
over with a weak solution Of bichlo-
ride. and move him into the room pre-
pared for him.
The sick room itself should be thor
oughly disinfected and everything that
has been used that it is necessary to
keep and is washable should be
soaked for several hours in a solu-
ton of carbolic acid twenty parts to
a hundred of water. 1t is almost I'M
possible to disinfect a mattress well
at home and 1t should either be
burned or sent to an establishment
where such things are sterilized.
There are several methods of fumi-
CATION: n is the burning of sulphur,
and follow that by wiping of every
thing In the room with a solution OF
bichloride, one part to five hundred
of water. The walls may be wiped
with a broom bag dampened with the
solution.
The use of formaldehyde is pre-
ferred by many. stopping up every
crack and keyhole and letting the vol
atile substance penetrate every part
of the room.
All bedding should be spread out
over chairs so that the gas will have
easy access to 1t. Leave the room
closed for IL hours, then air thor
oughly. Formalin lamps which pro-
duce the gas may be purchased. This
is one of the easiest methods and n
that is considered most satisfactory.
Books and toys are something impossi-
BILE to fumigate or disinfect. and 1t is
much better to burn them than to run
any risks of contagion.
Disease germs live a long time IN
hiding, and one cannot use too much
care and precaution.
The germs of consumption are
killed by a few minutes exposure to
the direct sunlight, as are many other
germs. so let us use the cheap n
easily available germicide and Keep
our homes healthful and sweet.
