The Secret of Being a Good Nurse

great Importance.

hard for the home nurse, but it is of
great Importance.
The food Of the sick person has much
to do with his or her well being The
actual diet should be subscribed by a
physician. The nurse may have nothing
to do with the cooking of the food, but
almost as much depends on the proper
serving of the meals as on their cook
ing and ordering, and this duty always
falls to the nurse.
It is best to have large tin tray for car
rying the patients meals from kitchen to
bedroom. This tray should be covered
with a spotless white cloth. and should

bit of evergreen, a cluster of grapes,
a joke or anecdote clipped from paper or
magazine. or some amusing or pretty
picture placed on the tray will do more
to tempt a poor appetite than all the
| coaxing in the power of the most eff
cient nurse.
The patients tray should never be
overloaded, for more food thanris wanted

should show unfaihng attention, conf

do exactly as he tells her to do. but she
should keep strict account of every
thing she does.
The amateur nurse. even with the best
intentions. frequently does not know how

n GREAT many secrets which every
~ home nurse ought to possess are
hidden in the head under the
L jaunty cap of the successful train
ed nurse. The possession Of these
secrets does not involve a knowledge Of
medicine and drugs, of skeletons and
bacteria. yet the home nurse who makes
them her own can be a helpful. reliable
assistant to the doctor, dependable aid
and relief to the professional nurse and a
veritable angel of mercy and comfort to
the patient.
The thing of first Importance is to keep
the patient in such a state Of body and
mind that he will be In a fit condition to
receive whatever curative measures ma
ture and the physicians may adopt.
.*
In medieval Paris the sister nurses at
the Hotel Dieu had to break the ice in
the river Seine In winter and wade in to
wash the soiled linen, and had to under
go many other hardships undreamed Of
. by the modern nurse. At the same time.
the nurse was not held up to the modern
high standard set by sanitary and medi-
cal experts. AS late as 1870 in England
only patients critically i'll were given sep
arate beds in hospitals; the others were
placed four in a bed. two with heads at
the top and two with heads at the foot.
So, although nursing is infinitely easier
nowadays, when the nurse has the help
OF every advance of modern civilization.
it is Infinitely more complicated than 1t
used to be.
If the home nurse masters no more
than the following points sac has gone a
long way on the road TO success: To
keep the room neat. clean, well ventilated
and as far as possible at an even tenn
perature; to keep the patients bed COM
Portable and spotlessly clean; to obey the
doctor implicitly. and to keep all worries
and anxieties from the patient.
II possible, the patients room should
be away from the noises OF street and
kitchen. q corner room with sunshine
preferably. The sunshine helps to keep
the room germ free and cheerful; the cor
ner exposure makes the problem Of ven
tilation easier.
Whatever the exposure, one window,
unless the weather is very unpleasant,
should be kept open bit at both top
and bottom all the time. At stated in
tervals the room should be filled with
fresh air. At these times an extra blanket
should be thrown over the bed. and some
sort of screen-an open umbrella Is recon-
mended by professional nurse-should
be placed to shield the patient.
Whenever a sick person sits up In bed
he should be protected by a shawl oil
dressing gown OF some sort. The sick
persons circulation is naturally at low
ebb. SO he should always be kept warm
Sfxty-five degrees, however. Is the maxi.
mum temperature proper for the sick
room. excepting in the case OF very old
or feeble persons; so the patient should

Like sky armadas We see them sail.

Great ragged and tawny clouds
In regal splendor drifting by.
The lordly oaks, and princely pines,
Loyal sentinels bravely stood
All undaunted while winds lashed,
In wild fury throughout the wood.

The sun hid his wondering face.
And in a labyrinth's deep shade,
Shy naiads and frightened nymphs
Crouched trembling and afraid

Comes from fields of clover and wheat
The plaintive call of whippoorwill

From over yonder distant hill.

water bonds there are good reasons
for believing that forces now at work

Financial reports these days are
more hopeful than they were short
time ago. Ever since Secretary Nc
Adoo announced that if necessary he
would use the $500, 900, 900 emergency
currency provided by the Aldrich-
Vreeland law there has been an end
to talk of financial stringency. That
announcement swept the pessimists
off their feet and the beneficial ef-
fects have been permanent. There
can be no money squeeze with the ad-
ministration ready at a moments no.
tice to throw a half billion into the
game.
In Bulletin to Consumers" issued
June "A, Henry Clews, financial critic
said: Now the money scare is brok-
en- a good deal OF call funds will be
likely to go into time loans, owing to
the wide difference between call and
time money. This process will ad-
vance call money rates somewhat and
correspondingly lower time money
rates as a natural sequence. This
will be a wholesome feature and
substantial gain to business interests
generally The money scare may now
be considered as collapsed and the
secretary of the treasury is entitled
TO the credit therefor through the
moral effect of his suggestion"
The certainty that congress, at the
instance of President Wilson, will en-
act currency reform at the special
session should also increase conf
dence The currency plan now under
consideration will among other things
protect business interests against man
made panics. The control will rest
with the government, not with any
Wall street element.
Another factor that Is regarded as
very favorable Is the fact our foreign
trade for May was exceptionally good

Of the exports for May. 1912. The ex-
ports for last month We're the largest

When I was young girl / dreamed

OF giant castles fashioned on hill
of gold;
The gold is but a gorse- bush, and
haply it seems
Ny castles but a cottage, now that

Now that I am old, I dream small
dreams
OF tiny feet that falter, and tiny
songs unsung,
Though l heard the trumpet blare
and saw red CLEANS
From the flying feet Of Cherubim,
when / was young
When I was a young girl 1 dreamed
long dreams
Of over flowing rivers and earth
and sky unrolled;
NV sky's a window square, the riv-
ers are but streams,
And the earth is a hedged meadow
now that 1 am old.
Now that I am old,l I dream short
dreams
OF small warm woods and little
paths among;
I who saw stretched shadows and the
suns long beams
On the cedar trees of Lebanon,
when I wt-s young.
And youth is memory with its long,
deep dreams,
Its venture unadventured, the glory
still untold;
But / can keep for ever, unashamed

The small dear dreams OF comfort.
now that I am old.

THE GROWTH OF GREAT ESTATES

The fortune left by John Jacob AS
tor, who perished in the Titanic wreck
has finally been fixed at $87,21S,795.-
05. 1t is called the largest estate ap-
praised under state tax laws in the
United States. Yet in proportion to
the wealth, population and resources
of the city 1t does not compare with
the fortune left by the original John
Jacob Astor, who died March 29, 1S4S.
Stephen Girard was the richest
man in America when he died in 1881
leaving s7,5O0,O00. John Jacob Astor
succeeded to the primacy and left an
estate perhaps overestimated at $780,
600 900. New York was then city
of 100000 inhabitants, with not one
twentieth part of its present wealth.
The legal rate of interest in New
York long remained at per cent. If
the original Astor's productive fortune
be reckoned at only s20.000,000 it
would amount today. at per cent
compounded semi-annualy, to nearly
| $500, 900. 900, and at 6 per cent to
nearly $90O.000,000. Reckless maya
zine writer's have cited the almost fa-
bulous rise in value of fancy real es-
| tate in New York to prove an even
more rapid increase as possible.
But in the case Of great landed es-
tates against such instances of rapid
rise must be set vacant plots that
/ "eat their heads off" in interest and
taxes and improved plots in neighbor-
hoods that decline in value. Living
expenses of conspicuous families are
commonly in proportion to their
wealth and accumulated means are
divided among many heirs. Railroad
and industrial fortunes are subject to
the same fate. No living Gould Is as
wealthy as Jay Gould in 1892. no liv-
ing Vanderbilt as wealthy as William
II Vanderbilt In 1885.

Residents of towns where the plane

concerning that tree by an Austral-

is an extract: "If you are planting

coughing and sneezing, and, incident
ally, blasphemig the weather and the
season generally. What has been the
cause of the epidemic? The victims
have inhaled the emanations or ejec-
tions of the insidious plane tree. An
English authority on forestry. DR..
Henry, takes the popular view to be
correct, and another authority adds
that as far back as 1873 the newly
installed German authorities in AL
SAGE were warned against the danger.
Nurserymen complain of ailments
brought on them by contact with the
mild looking Upas tree. A London
paper brings classic lore to the theme
of abuse. The ancient Greeks, We
