Grace Griscom Makes Some
Valuable Suggestions to
State Journal Readers Re-
garding the Subject.

Nowadays as soon as sickness o.
curs-wnere means permit, anu IN many
cases where they do not-a trained
nurse is sent for, and as soon as she
enters the house the members of the
family consider themselves free from
all responsibility. They cease to take
any part in the trouble of nursing I'M
less especially requested to do so. They
appear to have lost even the instinct
which formerly guided their actions,
and their sense of duty is quite satisfied
if the nurse Is there to look after the
case and the cook has been given
orders to prepare the food as it is re-
quired. Now, 1t is hardly fair to ex-
pect a nurse, whose work is already
laborious enough, to undertake to cook
for her patient; but, of course, she
must have a practical knowledge of the
subject to enable her intelligently to
inspect the food prepared for the in
valid
It is just at this point that the house
wife should step in and relieve the pro-
fessional or amateur nurse in the mat
ter OF preparing meals for the sick. In
many homes patent invalid foods be-
come a fixed idea on the part of the
provider, who forgets that however
valuable a prepared food may be in
cases Of emergency variety is a neces-
ing. The home prepared dish, es-
pecially that made by loving hands. is
infinitely more appreciated than food
packed in a tin or bottle. which, al
though 1t can be made available in a
minute, is always the same to the taste.
The mistress of an ordinary house
hold takes very little interest in plain
cookery at any time, preferring to leave
the cook to do her best or worst, as the
case may be, and when she occasion
arises requiring a display OF talent in
the direction of special diet the very
person on whom so much OF the house
hold comfort should depend is obliged
sto confess herself incompetent
But it is not in. moderate establish
ments only that the invalid fares worst
In the houses of the rich, in many in
stances, it IS nObody's business to at
tend especially to the supply of sick
room dainties. The cook would resent

lowed with disgust. If a time is fixed
for patients meals always be pune
tual. If kept waiting most sick people
lose their desire to eat and will reject
the food when it is brought to them.
Be careful never to leave food in the
sickroom in the hope that the patient
may eat it presently. Florence Night
ingale, the worlds most famous nurse
says this will simply prevent him from
taking food at all.
Never give a patient large quantity
of anything at a time, for where the %
petite is not strong it may be tempted
by little when it will be repealed by a
large Quantity. Do not act upon the
superstition that because a certain food
was enjoyed one day it will be liked
the next. In nine cases out OF ten
the appetite OF an III person is very
capricious.
Tea is more attractive served In tiny
after dinner cups ard may be filled
from a pot within easy reach should the
patient want another cup. Speaking of
tea, the doctor almost Invariably or
ders it off the menu, but this beverage
made in the following manner with
milk is not only harmless, but in many
cases beneficial: Boil half a pint of
milk and pour on it a good spoonful of
tea After three or four minutes pour
the milk off the tea leaves. This kind
of tea is especially recommended to
persons. suffering from Insomnia or
dyspepsia.
Don't rely too much upon beef tea It
is a useful stimulant, but it is not really
nourishing. as most people suppose. A
nourishing and stimulating meal, how
ever, may be prepared with it as fol-
lows: Separate the whites from the
yolks of two fresh eggs, beat them well
and add a pirch of salt. Beat the
whites to stif froth, pour half pint
of beef tea on the yolks. lightly stirring
In the beaten whites, and serve imme-
diately.
Squads on toast are general favorites
with convalescents. Dress the birds
and cut them open down the back. Put
four tablespoonfuls of butter in pan
and heat it until it begins to brown and
then put in the squads. Salt and pep
per them and cook fast from five to
seven minutes Watch very carefully
so as to turn them at once and always
k ep the dish covered. When nicely
Drowned on both sides serve on thin
slices of toast.
Sweetbreads are another. well liked
dainty. Take one pair of them and
parboil in water with little salt in it
Skim and cut the sweetbreads in
squares and let them cool. Put in a
saucepan a good sized piece of butter
and when hot drop in the squares and
let them stew for five minutes. Add
one-half pint of cream and let it cook
for i've minutes more and then add the
well beaten yoil1s of two eggs, stirring
in gradually. Season with salt and pep
per. Then add the whites. which have
been beaten stiff and favored with 4
whisky glass of sherry wine. Serve on
toast GRACE GRISCOM.
