CARING FOR THE AGED.

Old people, like little children,
need the interest and care Of their
own family and generally speaking
can be best cared for in their own
home With advancing years. both
body and mind show lowered re-
sistance and diminished vigor. When
the mode OF living is adapted to
these changes the happiness and
usefulness of the aged is greatly pro-
longed.
They are keenly sensitive TO the
cold and should have warm under
clothing and extra wraps when need
ed. They should be provided with
warm night clothes. stockings. hot
water bottles, light but warm COW
ers, and a sufficient thick mattress
Many covers will not supply the de-
ficiency OF a thin mattress. Old
people usually want their rooms
yer warm but it is better 10 keep
the temperature about 20. Remem-
Der ventilation is very important.
and il is quite possible TO keep the
room warm and yet we'll ventilated.
The aged must be guarded from
chill. exposure. crowds and commun-
icable diseases. Their food should
be simple. hot and divided into four
or five meals a day.
While old people should be en-
couraged to continue moderate act
ivities and 10 take regular exercise
it is bad Cor them TO undertake sud
den muscular exertions or to place
themselves in an insecure position,
since their bones are brittle and heal
with difficulty. However. it is a
questionable kindness TO try to man
age old people too much. TO deprive
them Of all freedom Of action. In
fact at times it is better TO let them
follow their own inclination even
if YOU feel il is not for their good.
Perhaps the saddest of all changes
that occur in the aged is their grad
ual loss in power to respond TO new
demands. They cannot understand

CARSON NAMES
POLITICAL PARTY
Mayor Has Advance Dope
on National Situation for
Next Year.

Mayor Carson thinks another poll
tical party will soon be organized
throughout the United States
I'll tell you boys" he said. there
is going to be another political party
organized soon. and believe me. il
is going 10 be a strong one. too.
Voters in smaller places are talking
it and seemingly it is gaining much
territory and making favorable i'm
pressions.
Republicans and democrats alike
will join in the new party which
will be somewhat of a medium in
politics The democrats and repub-
leans who are not satisfied with the
administrative workings will COM
bine in this new party which.
think. will be known as the Lib
erty" party.
VIII Win Praise.
1T will be surprising how such a
party will win the praise of thou
sands of voters throughout the
United States, and those who are
discontinued are bound TO organize
separately. The new organization
will be one OF the strongest indie
pendent political parties that has
ever sprung up"
When the mayor was talking
about the new party he was very
much enthused, He said even thc
fo.k Ks in the smaller towns are being
infected with the new political bug.
and that he has inquired at several
places, on a recent motor trip. and
finds out that the farmers are TAX
ing the new organization seriously.
