HELPS AND HINTS FROM DIANA

Dear Editor and Sisters of the So- cial Corner: I thank you for your hearty welcome and will try not to intrude too often; but from time to time I would like to pass on some aids and helps 10 others that have been very beneficial to myself.
 Aids and Helps fer the Sick-Thls device can be resorted to, when it is absolutely necessary to remove a seri- Ously sick person who ought not to be moved, to another room, or to a hospital Slip a stout sheet under the patient and have ready two long stout poles upon which wind the side of the sheet; then have four persons of near Iy the same height take hold of the ends of the poles and convey the sick one to the waiting ambulance or wher- ever he or she is to be taken. This mode of moving one will least annoy or injure the patient.
 If the nearby city is not the posses sor of an ambulance, a modern, GOV cred, good springed laundry wagon can be utilized for a substitute. A mat tress can be placed within to provide a bed for the sick one
 The position of a sick person who cannot move or be lifted can be slight ly changed to ease one by the nurse grasping the nightrobe just below tht body and giving an easy twirl, as ont does to small infant.
 The bed of a seriously sick patienf can be frightened and freshened by thu nurse placing her hands beneath the mattress and softly puffing it up; tht hands can also be placed under tho [ pillows and the same result can b, effected, thus giving ease and relief t, one.
 When preparing a patient for tn, night at home, rub ones back in al Cohol, and in place of the powder useC il hospitals, one will find that corr starch will serve the purpose. of takins away the sore and tired feeling whici | is experienced by those who are con | fined to their beds
 A cup of hot milk will often attrac sleep to the weary and wakeful sui ferer who needs stimulant, O strengthener, to procure the much needed repose. Some strips of canvas or denim ] can be fastened on the inside back O a reclining chair, or at the back O ! the head of a couch or bed behind tn l pillows; into the loops thus madt | insert a sun umbrella and turn it iron side to side to prevent the sun iron annoying a patient on the veranda. l A long stick with a hook in the en. | will be convenient for the nurse O watcher to draw down a curtain O to pick up some article that has fall en, without rising.

 A hatpin will silver off bits of ic from time to time from piece whic ! is kept wrapped up in flannel to kee l. from melting quickly.
 A piece of ice passed over the dry parched and burning lips by the nurs or a fevered patient, who is too ill t hold a piece of ice in ones moutr will give relief.

Mill Changes Hands.

Chas. B. Weller, who last year,
tenanted the Secrist farm better
known as the Mack Kendall farm
in the Cove, has purchased and
now has possession of the Cove
Roller Mills, and will devote his
entire attention to producing the
highest grade of flour, and feed.
For the accommodation of his
McConnellsburg patrons, he has
arranged to keep supply Of feed
on hands at Will Nesbit's store,
where orders may be left for de-
livery; and the flour may be had
at practically every store in town.
This is known to the older
folks as the Comerer Mill, later
owned by the late Edward Stout
eagle, and by his estate sold to
Chas. B. Stevens, who gave it a
thorough er-hauling installing
the latest improved roller pro-
cess machinery and adding a big
steel waterwheel, and gasoline
engine, so that at no season in
the year will the business be tied
up for want of power.

ernment. In the other provin-
ces of Ireland, the Catholic reli-
gion predominates. Hence what
benefits? what advantages? what
representation in Government?
would the scheme of Home Rule
give to the Scotch-Irish who
would necessarily be as slaves To-
cally and nationally.
1t is no wonder that the late
deceitful scheme Of Home Rule
has fomented all the ancient spir-
it of antagonism among t h e
Scotch-lrish, lamentable as itmay
be, viewed from any standpoint.
No wonder such noble, patriotic
men as Sir Edward Carson and
Lord Charles Beresford have es-
poused the Scotch Irish cause and
are her leaders. No wonder that
more than 100 officers of the En-
glish army have refused to march
to battle with the Ulsterite Un-
ionists. No wonder that Ulster
revolts and raises an army to
fight any further encroachments
on their religious freedom of Eng
land, and depend upon their CO.
religionists in the British army
to help them, and upon the SYM
pathy of the British soldiery to
prevent bloodshed.
Why in the name of all that is
good, does not England give to
Ulster, and to all Ireland the
same privilege that the United
States gave to Cuba, Porto Rica,
and will eventually give to the
Philippines the privilege to rule
themselves.
