all his might. The consequence was
1t developed into sores, and we were
afraid it would leave nasty scars on
his face.
when we reached England We took
baby to another doctor, who said his
condition was due to change Of food
and climate. and gave more medicine.
The rash got no better. and 1t used to
itch and burn at night so bad that the
child could not sleep He was com
pletely covered with 1t at different
times. 1t was at this time that my

HINTS FOR SERVING
THE SICK.

Make the tray as attractive as pos
sible. using dishes which look well
with the food, when it is possible. If
dishes and food fight in color it may
seem of no Importance, but often
sick person is peculiarly sensitive to
clashing colors. A well arranged tray
will appeal to the eye and tickle
appetite Is often coaxed into eating
simply because the food looks good.
Fashions in foods change, but the
fashion of serving food that Is hot, In
hot covered dishes, iced foods In cold
dishes, is not likely to change.
If possible, serve the tea Or coffee
In pot, as an invalid, y able. likes
to pour out the beverage and sweeten
it to taste.
Never serve large amounts to an
invalid, or fill glass more than two
thirds full; there are several reasons
for this. A glass is not easily handled
If full, by an unsteady hand, and too
large an amount may discourage the
patient from even trying the dish, IL
he thinks he is expected to eat 1t all.
Even when a patient is so recovered
that it is necessary to feed him Law
ishly, one must use judgment In over
serving.
All food and dishes should be at
once removed from the sick room.
Both food and water absorb impuri-
ties.
A bit of green or flower or two on
the tray or in small vase adds
much to its appearance.
Never under any circumstances
without a physicians advice, give
liquor in any form. Many consider
egg nog ineffective without liquor, but
1t may be much more SO with fruit
juices or dash of nutmeg or vanilla

Filiplnos Dislike Autos.

The reckless and insolent automo-
bilist is hated the world over. In the
Philippines, where most Of the auto
mobilists are foreigners. and where
the natives have been used to loiter
comfortably in the roads after the
fashion of easy going southern coun-
tries, the automobiles have long been
a grievance, and, failing to secure ef-
fective regulation, the Filipinos have
adopted the practice Of rolling big
boulders into the roadway az q hint
not to turn corners at a breakneck
speed.
