FEEDING THE INVALID
MATTER OF MUCH IMPORTANCE
IN THE SICK ROOM.
Tee Frequently insufficient Attention
10 Paid to This by the Nurse
Serve Food In the Dalntl-
est Style.

Few things are more difficult than tC
I food, and no task, as a rule. is worse
managed. Amateur nurses may be sue
cessful in other matters, but they gen
orally make a failure of the food prop
osition.
The nurse is usually to blame when
the patient will not take enough food
She will bring huge plateful ol
! jelly or big basinful of beef tea to
him, and he will reject 1t with disgust
because the sight Of SO much food Is
distastefuL II she brought a few
spoonfuls at a time and served them
daintily ne would be glad to eat
Give little food at time, and give II
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. II 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 1t presently. This will pre-
vent him from taking any food at
all.
Never take a large quantity Of any
thing at one time, thinking that be-
cause the patient had liked 1t before
be viii like 1t again In nine cases out
OF ten a sick persons appetite is
capricious. His food, therefore, should
be varied as much as possible.
Don't rely too much on beef tea. II
is useful stimulant, but 1t is not
really nourishing, as most people sup
pose 1t 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 a 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 a
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 dishpan and pour boiling
water over them. Let them stand and
steam until ready TO serve the meal,
then wipe with clean. dry towel.

last years work by developing con-
troll and the ability to project the
sphere with extreme velocity" A
captain should be a hard worker and
Vic" is that. Under his leadership
the varsity team should make good
this year.
Irwin Lund, manager of the base
ball team, is hustler and has the
reputation of finishing everything he
starts. He has displayed his ability
this year. One of the things which
he can be commended upon is the
fact that he has secured a game with
the baseball team of the University
of Keio, Japan. The whole schedule
shows work and Lund can be relied
upon to keep things moving.
