FOR HOME NURSING.

How to Care For Bottles and Medicines
During Sickness.
One of the first lessons nurse learns
is to pour out medicine from the side
Of the bottle opposite to that on which
the isabel ingpasted il order that any
drops Of the liquid which escape down
the side when pouring will not Obliter-
ate the directions and number Of the
prescription.
AS soon rs u medicine bottle Is empty
and if it is not to be replenished right
Away 1t should be marked and put out
of the way until needed again. Many
doctors insist upon the prescriptions be-
lns written on the label Of the bottle
by the druggist. This makes it easier
for reference If he decides to go back
to an old formula. 1t also makes 1t
possible for the nurse to know what is
Deing given and makes 1t less danger
GUS to have empty bottles or unused
medicines around.
1t is never safe to give medicine from
IL long unused bottle unless either the
prescription Is marked on 1t or 1t has
been plainly marked for what purpose
ii was used before. Otherwise 1t is
better to refer the prescription number
10 the druggist who made 1t up and get
him to identify it. II these means OF
Identification were always adhered to
there would be fewer mistakes made
After an illness is over and the pa
tient convalescent. clear out all the
medicines 1t Is not necessary to keep
An accumulation Of old prescriptions
is rarely Of use again and the bottles
clutter up the medicine closet. Empty
bottles are sometimes useful. but II
they are kept they should be carefully
washed ont and the labels erased sc
that they win be ready for an emer
gency and not spoiled by the drying
up Of the contents.
How TO satisfactorily Clean osnuins
Pewter Wars.
A shop which makes specially ol
genuine pewter ware says that ID
cleaning pewter whiting or any good
silver powder can he used. The polish
should. however. hrst be mixed with
olive oil. machine oil or vaseline. Of
even Kerosene. and then rubbed al
over the object. Then wipe It on and
polish with the dry pswder applied
with q soft cIoth.

NEXTILES of one kind or an.
other make an important part
of the changeable equipment

other make an important part
Of the changeable equipment
of house. Carpets. rugs,
curtains. furniture covering. household
linen. blankets. etc.. all come under
this heading. A general knowledge
Of the different fbers-cotton. wool,
silk. linen, etc.-of which these ma
lerials are made. the effect and dur.
ability Of different dyes. the values Of
the different methods of cleaning. etc..
would evidently be help to the prac.
tical housekeeper. Much has been
written regarding color. design and
other matters pertaining to household
textiles from the standpoint of the
tine arts. but many Of the other ques.
rions. especially regarding durability,
strength. etc. have not as yet been
Systematically studied. Some Of those
which bear most directly on every day
household processes are being investi.
gated by the government by laboratory
methods. and 1t is hoped that as useful
results may be obtained as have been
gained from the scientific investiga-
