TO the other side OF the bed turns the
patient carefully on his side facing
the nurse. She then tucks the folded
sheets close up to him. smoothing the
clean sheet carefully. She then turns
the patient over onto his other side.
In so doing he passes the folded
sheets, so that they are now at his
back and he is lying on the clean
sheet. The soiled sheet can now be
removed and the other half OF the
clean one smoothed out and the sides
and ends tucked in The upper sheet
and blanket are then replaced as be-
fore. In changing the upper sheet
the clean one Is spread over the top
OF the bed and held in place while the
soiled sheet and other clothing are re-
moved In this way we avoid expo

When the patient cannot be turned
on his side the sheet must be changed
from top to bottom The soiled sheet
being loosCned at the top and pushed
well down under the pillow, the clean
sheet is then started at the top and
pushed down under the pillow also. In
changing the sheet In this manner
two persons are required. one stand

In making a bed care must be taken

be smoothed free from wrinkles. All
bed linen should be thoroughly

rejoicing and true worship
1t was not until A. D, $40 that the
first real Easter hymn was written
St Ambrose was the author OF this
and it was typical of the spring and
the resurrection and filled with the
faith of the new life to come.
As Easter typiies new birth II is
also easy to trace the old pagan idea
that the egg was the beginning OF
life and understand how 1t came to
be accepted in the Christian mind
as the symbol of the life eternal. This
idea goes hack to the ancient Egypt
ians, who worshiped the beetle be.
cause that insect was thought to have
the power of burying itself and ris-
ing again. When its eggs were dis
covered the symbolism was trans
ferred to them.
The first colored eggs were vivid
red. typifying the blood OF Christ. and
as early as 1889 these eggs were the
treasured exchanges among all class.
es. In the expense book of Edward
the First of England there is a record
of Easter eggs. one item calling for
$50 eggs stained with gold
The Easter bunny is said to have
been the bird which at one time drew
the chariot of the Goddess Of Spring
and was turned into a hare. Every
year however, at the coming Of spring
the hare remembers, and in commem-
oration of its original bird nature lays
eggs as an offering to Spring and
Youth It symbolzes. This may be the
reason that on Easter eve German
families place nest full of sugar
eggs and real eggs somewhere In the
garden that the children may hunt
for them on Easter morning.
Another connection between Eas.
ter and the hare is the latter's re.
lation to the moon. Easter is really
lunar holiday and in ancient times
the hare was a symbol for the moon.
Numerous superstitIons and legends
are connected with Easter day, the
oldest and most widespread of which
is that which makes the sun partici.
pate in the general rejoicing by dane.
ing in the sky. This superstition is
traced back to the days of ancient
paganism when the people engaged
in fantastic dances at the festival Of
Osterr.
In Scotland, that land Of superstl.
ton, 1t is said that the sun turns
around in the sky three times on
Easter morning like wheel and then
gives three great leaps through space.
and so general is the belief that many
people still get up early on Easter
morning to see this phenomenon.
Many country people still believe in
that ancient superstition that to see
lamb when first looking out Of the
window on Easter morning will bring
great good luck, especially IL its head
be turned toward the house.

revival of the new day and fresh ac-
tivity, particularly of the coming of
the spring and the revival Of nature.
AS the Christian Easter signifies a
new birth into life everlasting, the
analogy between the revival of the
natural life in the spring after the
long winter of bright and the resur-
rectlon of the Savior is quite evident.
The month of April was dedicated
by the Saxons to this goddess and the
name, Oster Monat, is still used by
the Germans to denote IT, The Latin
races of the south of Europe and the
Russians have derived the word Eas.
ter from the Aramanic word "pesash"
(pass overl and Easter Is called by
the Spanish "pascus," while the Ital.
ians speak of it as basque" the
French calling II "pasQues' and the
Russians "paskah."
One OF the first policies Of the early
Christian church was the practice of
turning as many as possible of the
pagan festivals into holy days and
giving them religious significance.
Easter, the spring festival of the
pagans, the resurrecting of the nat
ural life, was therefore seized eager.
ly upon and made day of rejoicing
signifying the resurrection of Christ
and the hope of new spiritual life.
In the first days of the religious
observance Of Easter the people went
to the church clothed in special dress
and the priests recited humorous po-
ems and told funny stories. This odd
observance was so abused by the peo.
pie, however, and so much license
was taken that few years later the
day was changed into one of silent
