DOMESTIC SCIENCE
Cooking and Serving Conducted by
Lillian Mason.
FEEDING INVALIDS.

FEEDING INVALIDS.
The old custom was TO starve invalids
and possibly there has been a tendency to
go to the other extreme and ATTEMPT to
give more OF food than the stomach can
easily digest in the absence of ability to
exercise, so that there Is possibility Of
food becoming a clog and hndrance IL
not given judciously. Many times It
seems almost impossible to find anything
which the patient will eat. which Is suit
able, and in accord with the orders of the
physician
The chief tact in making food serve Its
best possible purpose, and to secure suff-
cient nutrition for the patient without
danger OF disgust and injurious effects.
Is to make taste MS keen az possible by
bringing little at time and in the most
dainty manner of serving. The seeing OF
a large amount Of food u.s. for one whose
appetite has been duled and almost lost
by sickness, an almost sure cause Of dis
inclination to attempt any Of the needed
nourishment. or If 1t Is taken 1t Is with
almost repulsion, which gives little bene-
fit as well as also sometimes PRODUCING.
injury.
a little food often and eaten with a
relish is better than more eaten with ef-
fort or repugnanc.. Be punctual II there
Is any set time for the food AS waiting
sometimes will cause refusal Of food and
loss of best capacity to digest that which
is eaten. Leaving food in the room in
hope to tempt the appetite is condemned
by many writer's, and Florence Nightn-
gale was said to consider this a mistake.
hut sometimes It seems that something
like very fresh fruit, II especially pleas
ing TO the eve, may have a good effect
as an appetite coaxer.
Beef tea Is a stimulant more thar =
nutritive, so It must not be relied u?on
too much for strength giving permanent
value.
In poor health appetite is apt to be very
tickle, so that the desired dainty ot To-
day may be the detested dish Of Ia
morrow, or not so much desired at least.
There Is very little reasonable consist
ency In the average invalid's appetite
so we must vary the diet as much az
good Judgment and the Doctors instrlc-
tons will allow. Below we give several
recipes from various sources for invalid
food.

National Chamber Body.

Outside of its unwieldy name, the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States of America has made a fine start
In selecting Washington as its head
quarters, a wise move was made, one
that will be of great advantage in help
ing to shape the proper kind of legis-
lation.
The character and stability of the del
egates from various sections of the
country who attended the conference
in this city, representing as they did
the influential commercial organizations
of the United States, gave a dignity
and influence to it, so that when a rec
ommendation is made It will receive the
proper consideration, especially so now
there will no longer be a multitude of
recommendations made by local asso-
Citations.
"The national body has declared its
purpose to promote cooperation be-
tween chambers of commerce, boards
of trade, and other commercial and
manufacturers organizations of the
United States, increasing their efficiency
and extending their usefulness. By
this cooperative action it is intended to
secure unity and harmony in business
usages and laws and proper considera-
ton and concentration of opinion upon
questions affecting the financial, COM
mercial, and industrial interests of the
country at large"
The New York Journal of Commerce,
in commenting upon the deliberations
of the organization, says it is of good
augury for the future of the national
chamber that the conference with which
it originated should have turned down
all suggestions of applying to Congress
for an appropriation in aid of its work
This certainly was praiseworthy and
can be used as an object lesson by or
CARNATIONS which are too prone to look
upon the United States Treasury as
inexhsustible.
In future where questions affecting
the commerce of the country come up,
the right sentiment of business men will
be presented, local issues obliterated,
and Congressman relieved of having to
consider the value of resolutions sent
to them by their constituents when they
are of business concern.
