THE HOME NURSE.

What is everybody's business is mo-
body's business" This is especially
true in cases OF sickness In the homes
where the nursing. or care of the pa
tient, devolves upon the members Of
the family. In such cases, where sew
eral try to carry out the physicians
orders. 1t often happens that some or
ders are neglected; each member of
the family believing that these things
had been attended to by some other
person.
Whenever there IL illness In home
and II does not seem advisable, for
various reasons, to employ a trained
nurse, one person should be selected
to take charge Of the patient, and this
person should receive all orders from
the physician and be responsible for
their fulfilment.
The chief requirements for one who
is to take the part of the nurse in a
home are neatness, quietness and an
ability to carry out the physicians
orders exactly.
In her personal appearance, a nurse
must be scrupulously clean and neat
Her hair should be tastefully dressed
and free from ornaments. Her hands
should be clean and well cared for A
roughened hand is very annoying to
the patient. The nails should receive
especial attention and should be filed
rather short. A nurse should not wear
any rings for they are liable to catch
on the clothing or the patients hair
and be annoying. The nurses dress
should be of some washable, cotton
material, soft enough not to rustic
when she walks. White aprons give a
neat and tidy appearance. Her shoes
should not be too heavy. permitting
her to step noiselessly about the room.
During the twenty-four hours some
provisions should be made for suffi-
Client sleep and outdoor exercise for
the nurse. She needs seven or eight
hours sleep and one or two hours for
exercise, besides time in which to
dress, attend to her toilet require
ments and eat her meals without hur-
rying. A nurse who does not have suf-
ficient time for sleep and rest becomes
not only physically tired, but mentally
SO exhausted that she is incapable of
giving proper care to the patient or OF
observing symptoms. For the sake Of
the patient. be sure that the nurse Is
not overworked. She can be relieved
of her duties by, some other person.
At such times as she is away from her
patient, written orders for the substi-
tute should be left and she should
make sure that the one left In charge
understands the directions.
The nurse always should speak in a
low, well-modulated voice that can be
understood by the patient without any
effort. She should never speak in
whispers or low tone to third per-
son so the patient can hear the voices
but cannot understand what is being
said. A sick person is very sensitive

A very youthful and entirely un-
known musical composer read some
verses by the renowned Thomas
Moore which he liked very much.
Forthwith the buzz of inspiration cir
culated through his brain. and the
next thing he knew he had evolved a
tune which went right prettily with
the words of the Irish poet. Much
elated. the very youthful composer
took the product to a publisher Of
popular songs and sang 1t to him. The
publisher shook his head.
"The music's all right" he opined.

RENovAToR FOR OLD OAK
Nothing Has Been Discovered Better
Than Mixture Our Grand
mothers Used.

Everybody nowadays knows that to
secure, bright polish on an old oak
chest or table there is nothing to

In our grandmothers' days. however.
1t was elbow grease plus one of their
wonderful and efficacious homemade
mixtures. Half pint each of malt
vinegar and raw linseed oil were
mixed with couple of drains of but
ter of anthony. This formed polish
which, after good shaking. could be
rubbed on the old wood without fear
of spelling the col :, while 1t brought
about bright and glistening result.

which was the o'd-fashioned farmhouse

FROSTING FOR CAKES
FULL DESCRIPTION OF PROCESS
OF MAKING IT RIGHT.
Success Depends Mainly on Steady
and Brisk Whipping--tiow Icing
10 Colored and Applied
for Decoration.

Take some paper; parchment or a
sheet of very thin notepaper, and roll
ing It into the shape Of funnel, pin
1t together, cutting OF the lower end
just above the bottom.
Make frosting as follows. Put
whites of four eggs into bowl and
whip them with a strong whip or
whisk until they are dry. The success
of the frosting depends entirely on
the steady and brisk whipping be-
tween additions Of sugar. Add one ia
blespoon Of confectioner's sugar. which
has been carefully sifted. and whip
briskly for three minutes. then add
another tablespoon of sugar and whip
as before. After third tablespoon has
been added. add half teaspoon OF lem
on Juice and whip briskly again. Gen.
tinue this process until mixture Is stif
enough to hold in any form.
The icing should now be divided IN
to as many parts as there are colors,
and each portion colored delicately to
the desired shade. Care must be taken
to mix the paste thoroughly through
frosting, as otherwise specks of coior
will appear in 1t.
Round loaf cakes lend themselves
better to decorations than square
ones. 1t should be iced and put away
to stand for at least one hour. The re-
mainder Of icing should be kept Gov
cred with damp cloth.
Draw a circle the size of the cake on
a piece of paper, and draw any de-
sign. such as flowers. figures, ETC.. on
the paper. Perforate design with a
pin. thus making pattern. II paper
is Arm you may place 1t upon frosted
cake, rough side Of paper on cake, rub
bling gently SO that pin pricks VIII
show in frosting, or you may place pa
per on cake and sprinkle over 1t a Ut
tie finely powdered charcoal so that
when paper is taken of the pattern u
left on cake. Then take the tunnel
and partly fill It with icing of desired
color. Fold the top OF funnel over
icing, SO that none of the icing Will
flow over top of funnel when contents
are being forced out of the bottom.
Holding funnel In one hand, move 1t
along the lines Of the designs. using
the other hand to squeeze icing on pat
tern. 1t is a good idea to always be-
gin in center and work outward.

and whispering Is annoying. The ma
ture Of the illness should not be dis
cussed and nothing but the kindest
things said before the patient. A per-
son who is very Ill is incapable of
carrying on, or even listening to,
sustained conversation. In such
case, there should be as little con.
versation as possible in the room. AS
the patient becomes convalescent. he
requires to be entertained. A nurse
who can read or tell light, happy
stories In an entertaining manner is
invaluable at such times. Gossip or
tales Of sadness or unkindness should
not be retailed to any patient. A pa.
tient who is kept in an optimistic
frame of mind stands a better chance
of recovery than one who is melan-
choly. The patient should be made to
feel that the nurse is interested IN his
recovery and that everything is being
done to hasten 1t.
When the physician makes his daily
visit. 1t is considered mark of re-
spect for the nurse to arise when he
enters the room and remain standing
unless asked to be seated; she should
hand him her written report (which
will be explained later, answer any
questions he may ask and then quietly
leave the room, and wait outside until
he leaves the sick-room. This gives
the patient an opportunity to talk pri-
vately with the physician about any
thing he wishes. often a patient does
not talk freely with the physician nor
tell him essential things. because OF
an inability to confide in him in the
presence of third party even If that
person is an intimate relative. Then,
too. the nurse is thus given an oppor-
tunity Of speaking with the doctor
about anything she wishes to know
and of reporting to him anything she
does not deem 1t wise to say before
the patient.

The cheap baking powders have but .ss
Recommendation: they certainly give the
purchaser plenty of powder for his money
but it's not all baking powder; the bulk
is snade up of cheap materials that have
no leavening power. These powders are
80 carelessly made from inferior mate
rails that they will not make light, whole
some food. Further, these cheap baking
powders have a very small percentage OF
leavening gas; therefore it takes from two
to three times as much of such powder to
raise the cake or biscuit as it does of Calu-
met Baking Powder. Therefore, in the long
run, the actual cost to the consumer of the
cheap powders is more than Calumet
