MAIL POUCHES.
They Cost From Few Cents to

Uncle Sam has twenty-eight differ

they range in cost from % cents to
$2156 each. There are mail pouches
for almost every conceivable use, and
YOU can ship almost anything that
comes within the postal regulations
with a minimum of loss and breakage.
Probably the most peculiar mail bag
is the one arranged for carrying bees.
Sending bees by mail was a difficult
operation before the bee bag" was
adopted. Usually the bees arrived at
their destination dead or so exhausted
that they We're Of little use. Now
these little honey makers can be

supply of food during their transit.
Mail bags are made of various ma

and the most costly of leather. Those

MAKING THE SICK COMFORTA-
BILE
How the Little Things, Count, How
Many Think 1t Is Useless.

The small things are really the big
things in a sick room. Attention to
seemingly unimportanta details means
much in a patients comfort.
If you can have a few fresh flowers
or a growing plant in the sick ROOM it
will give a great deal OF pleasure. but
don't have cut flowers in the room at
night Be sure to put fresh water in
the vase each day.
Always have place for the doctor
to wash his hands. and clean towed
for him. Have some sort of pretty
shawl, or dressing sack to put on your
patient when she sits up in bed to eat
as every additional luxury, no matter
how simple. gives pleasure to the sick
If you have a standing and folding
screen in the room 1t is always con-
veEient, either to break the breeze
from blowing on your patient or to
shade the light from her eyes. During
the day you might roll the bed near
the window, so our patient can look
out, and at night roll it back in its
place, so as not to get any draught
from the window.
. Have small table at the side of the
room with white cloth on it and
have on this table the medicines,
spoons, glasses and everything of the
kind in use. Don't have them scat
tered around the room in odd places.
but keep them all together in one
place. Also have on this table paper
and pencil, and write down all the doc
tor tells you to do, and be sure to do
it at the right time
Give your patient a fresh gown in
the morning, and put on different
one at night This does not mean two
fresh gowns day, but two gowns as
long as they are clean. Changing
night and morning, it is more restful
to the patient than to keep on the
same gown day and night. No matter
how busy you are with other duties
and cares, don't neglect to comb and
brush the patients hair daily. Other
wise il will hopelessly tangle. Don't
let the sick room get cluttered up with
an accumulation of things, keep il tidy
and in order, and free from unnecessa-
ry things.
Have a comfortable easy chair near
the bed when you get your patient up,
and don't tire her out by putting on
her clothes. Spread a blanket in the
chair, put wrapper and slippers on
your patient and let her sit on the
blanket. folding it over and around
her. This will keep her warm enough,
and will not be as firing as to conn
pletely put on her clothes.
Routine is necessary for sick people,
and If you stick to a regular time for
each thing, you will find YOU do not
forget" neutrality-suspicious. State
