FOR NURSES TO E
Those Who Have the Care Of lnvallds
Should Keep These important
Points III Mind.

Invalids who dislike the favor Of
meat extract will be able to take it
if q teaspocnful Or 80 is added to q
cup Of hot boiling milk. The milk
diagrises the tsste Of the meat ex-
tract. A small quantity Of this mix
ture taken when there is a feeling
Of exhaustion will prove an admit
rable restorative.
Every room in which there is sick
ness should be thoroughly aired
twice q day. Shield the patient with
! screen and plenty Of covers during
the airing.
Placing q board three inches wide
and the full width of the window
under the lower sash will afford good
ventilation during the day without
unduly cooling the room.
#, however, it becomes necessary
to sweeten the room quickly a small
lump Of gum camphor placed on an
old saucer with a few lighted matches
will soon overcome any heaviness Of
the air.
Another simple deodorizer is q bit
Of burning string. Cut a bit of the
heavy white variety, hang it over q
bar Of something, say, a chair, light
at each end, blow out the tiny flame,
and let it smolder until the bit of
string Is consumed.
