should be in a moderate tone of voice
without excitement. Whispering is
generally worse than loud taking.
Food, prepared well and daintily,
should be brought to the patient at
the necessary time. The patient
should not be asked what he wishes
to eat.
The sick person should not be an
noyed by hard-luck stories, either the
personal experience of the nurses or
of the neighbors.
The nurses should invariably obey
the instructions of the physician.
If the disease is one in which the
sputum carries the contagion, the
sputum should be promptly disinfected
By burning, if possible. Handker-
chiefs should either be burned at once
or dropped in boiling water. All di-
seases are more contagious by direct
contact than otherwise. The nurse
should always remember the danger
of spreading the infection to other
persons and endeavor to prevent it.

Annapolis News.


We have had four DAYS and nights
rain and still looking like more rain
fall. The creeks have been past ford
ing three days, all the crossing being
done is over the Iron Mountain rail-
road bridge at F. C.Warneke's. Those
who live west of town have a long

little thing they may want.
JohiI White, the son of II. p. White
of the Annapolis grist mill, near An
napolis, was killed at Springfield, Ills,
last Tuesday night, January 25A 1916,
and was brought here and buried in
the Annapolis cemetery last Saturday.
His occupation wal a Brakeman on
the Electric Railroad from East St.
Louis, Ills, to Springfield. He was
found in Springfield with n side of
his head crushed in, and no clue to
how it was done, but it is said that
the crew he went out with had it in
for him. Mr.. White was in the U. s.
Navy for quite a while and while in
the army had to go through a surgical
operation in the hospital and when
able to travel he was discharged on
account of disability and after COM
ing home and getting a little stout he
went to railroading. John had many
friends here; he was a good boy with
no vicious habits, and it is a sad thing
forsthe family. Mr.. II. P. White and
wife yer in Fredericktown with her
mother, taken there from here for
burial, when the news reached them
that their son, John, was killed in
Springfield. Two deaths in one week
in II family is pretty hard. They
have my sympathy in their trouble.

Care of Sick.

The widespread prevalence of sick
ness throughout the country suggests
some simple rules for taking care of
the sick, says the Department of Pre-
ventive Medicine, University of Mis-
souri,, Columbia. Not every person
can have a well-trained nurse. The
majority Of patients must be taken
care of by members of the family. The
following suggestions may be helpful:
The sick room should contain little
furniture. All surplus rugs, draperies
and furnishings should be removed.
This gives more space and makes dis
infection easier after the sickness is
over.
All cases of sickness, including
pneumonia and catarrhal infections,
do best in a cool, well ventilated
room. Ventilation without draft
should be provided for by means Of
windows boards or similar devices tc
throw the air up toward the ceiling.
The patient should be kept clear
and quiet. A single thin garment
such as a nightgown or nightshirt, il
all that is needed. The bundling VI
Of sick persons with plasters, rag
and woolens is bad form from every
standpoint.
Patients should not be annoyed BY
having to ask for everything. At thu
same time, they should not be asked
every few minutes whether they wisl
something. The nurse, guided by TIL
physician, should know what tn,
patient needs and supply 1t at tn
proper time.
Visiting is, as a rule, to tabooed

I was down on the Belmont last
week and certainly had a wet time. l
went from Bismarck to Frederick
town, Lutesville, Charleston, Ber-
trand, Morley, Commerce, on the
Mississippi river, then to Lilbourn,
back to Oran, Pennington, the Lead
Belt. There is lots of water down in
that country; the Belmont trains on
ly run to Charleston, and the Cotton
Belt trains III through twelve miles
of water. You cannot see the rails;
section men, with high boots on keep
the driftwood off the track. They are
looking for still higher water; thous-
ands Of acres of wheat are under wa
ter, and lots of corn pens surrounded
by water. There is quite a lot of corn
in that country yet. The Charleston

Iron Furnace at Poplar Bluff.

tFrom the Poplar Bluff Republican,
The Chicago Iron and Chemical
company, a corporation with millions
behind it, has just been organized,
and the differences that have arisen
in the management of the affairs of
the st. Francis Land and Ore COM
pany and the Radium Iron company
have in a measure been wiped out be-
cause of the fact that the new COM
pany has absorbed the others, the
ones that had been trying to interest
local capitalists in the development
of the iron industry in Butler county,
This new company is coming to
Butler county, and coming in such a
way as to make local investors CO.
operate with them in a substantial
manner. Promoter Hooper, who is on
the inside of the big deal, had a con-
ference Tuesday morning at the Com
mercial Club with some of the local
capitalists and he explained to them
just what he wanted, and they agreed
to enter into a contract whereby they
guaranteed payment of all costs in
cidental to carrying out the plans of
perfecting organization, which is 60
ing to result in an iron furnace with a
capacity of 100 tons of iron ore daily,
and OF 200 cords of wood for charcoal,
Jim Hogg, who owns a farm of 500
acres, the best land in But Ter county,
in open meeting Tuesday, agreed to
let the company have his land at a
sacrifice of at least 500, 900 in price.
Everybody in Butler county knows
what this land is, the most valuable
in southeast Missouri, and he has in
dicated a willingness to sell all of it,
except what is needed for his dis
tillery, at a price which Mr.. Hooper
said was satisfactory to the newly or
gained concern, which is going to
accept the offer.
w. S. Randall, A. w. Greer, Ii. H.
jolly and others have agreed to guar
antee payment of So, 900 in order that
everything may be shaped up without
this expense, and the iron corporation
does the rest. Mr.. Randall has beer
ION the inside" on this for months
and has given it careful considera'
ton,
They sent word through Represen'
tative Hooper that they we're going
to build this 100-ton furnace on the
Hogg farm and provide for another
furnace Of 100 tons alongside Of it
The 100-ton furnaces are the larges
constructed, hence the necessity TO.
!, having room for another.
Then they are going to build a lin
of railroad to the ore regions at Ro
mine Springs via billiard, anothe
railway line out to the Current rive
in Ripley county where there Is al
abundance OF wood for the charcoal
! and rush things with all POSSIBLE
! speed, SO that the furnace itself viii
be under construction within a year
The company is very much please
with the Hogg tract, being exact,
: suited for a furnace and for town cit
purposes as we'll.
