SUES GAFFNEY LEDGER.
Henry Buice Alleges he has Been
Damaged to Extend Of $4,000.

Gaffney, April pa complaint was
served today on Ed. H. Decamp and
the Limestone Printing Company, OF
which Mr.. DeCamp is proprietor, serv-
ing notice of an action to be brought
against the printing Company for
$4,000 for libel The suit is being
filed by Henry Buice and alleges in the
complaint: "That on or about the goth
day of August 1912, the said newspaper
known as the Gaffney Ledger and the
defendant, Ed. H. DeCamp, its editor
and proprietor, published and circu-
lated in paper the following libelous
matter about plaintiff:
con the other hand, the very worst
men in Cherokeen county are support
ing him (Blease) to a man. Let US
see if this is true. Henry Buice, one
of the leaders in this county, is
murderer. He killed a man, shooting
him from ambush, without giving the
poor fellow a chance. to defend his
life. He has been charged with
blockading and running a blind tiger.
This is the class of men in Cherokee
who are leading the Blease forces
others of them have been charged
with arson and thievery and wife
beating and wife desertion."
The above excerpt is from an edi-
torial which appeared in the columns
of the Gaffney Ledger during the
heat of the gubernatorial campaign
The articles excited greatest interest
in all parts of the State. The plain
tiff alleges that the article impeach-
ed his honesty, integrity and reputa-
tion and exposed him to public hat
red, contempt, ridicule and obliquy
and to iniure his character, business
and reputation and by reason OF that
fact the said plaintiff has been dam
aged in the sum of $4,000.
The plaintiff is represented by a
Blacksburg lawyer while Mr.. DeCamp
has retained Butler and Hall of the
local bar and will fight the case to
the finish.

friends Of W. F. Young, assistant post;
master, a rival candidate for the post
mastership. Mr.. Dillingham; released
Congressman Johnson from his pro-

fully mastered the art of economy.
There is no excuse for wilful waste,
which is frequently seen at this time
when any family finds necessary ex-
penses about all they can meet.
There are different stages Of illness
which call for different feeding for the
patient. For instance, at times only
a liquid diet can be given. The glass
should never be brought TO the room
in the hand, but on a small tray or
plate, with paper doyley under the
glass and a napkin to fold under the
patients chin TO prevent any drops
! from soiling the sheet. A GONZALES
cent patient may be given broths.
strained vegetable soups, eggs, milk
toast custards, jellies, baked potatoes,
/ chops, chicken, etc.
/ Nurses should know how to prepare
them scientifically. They should know
special diets for patients suffering
from various diseases. Set rules are
not the thing to follow, as a great deal
of harm frequently follows unless the
nurse is able to recognize symptoms
which should mean a change in food.
Food, after all. is the real thing
which cures, Medicine never cures.
1t is used for emergency only. Good
care is essential, but, | repeat, the
right food cures.
Too much stress cannot be laid on
the perfect cooking of this food. This
should be and is a special course and
no slip-shod cooking should ever be
permitted by nurse. The service
should be spotless. never spilling any
thing nor having hot things cold and
cold things lukewarm. and then the
J patient should enjoy his meal, and he
will if comfortably propped up. with
this inviting meal properly arranged.
Summing all up, trained nurse

of the body, food and why necessary.
, cooking and why necessary, foods and
: their relation to the body, correct pro-
, portions OF wellbalanced dietaries, ef-
, feet of starches, digestion and fer
) mentation. With this knowledge work

/ and better, then all illness would be
? shortened and expense lightened.

A nurse has much more RESPONSE
bility than the ordinary rounds of the
necessary duties in sick room. Ii is
one thing to have a nurse who looks
carefully after the ventilation and
cleanliness of the room, the care of the
bed and proper methods OF changing of
linen and thinks her work ends here,
and it is another to have the nurse
who can plan and cook the proper
food for a patient and serve it in the
daintiest and most appetizing manner
possible in connection with the other.
Her training surely is not complete
unless she is able to do this. If she
does not understand the science of
foods and professional housekeeping,
it requires an extra person IN the home
to wait on the nurse. She should be
able to go into the kitchen and prepare
the three meals or more for the one
who is i'll, without disturbing the work
