Three Killed and Several Injured at Rural Retreat, Va, This Morning When Two Norfolk and Western Trains Collide.

Erie. Pa, Oct. 2o.-Seven persons are known to have been killed and at least , injured when a Chicago and Boston limited on the New York Central railroad sideswiped the Buff falo-Cleveland train, west bound, at the west end of the Union station here today. Five bodies taken from the wreck are those of women.
 Runs Through Switch.
 The Chicago and Boston express ran through an open switch not far from the station and sideswiped the train from Buffalo on its way west. The third day coach from the en- zine was overturned, and all the casualties are believed to have oc- cured there. Rescue forces were quickly at work and in a short time six bodies had been taken out.
 Parts of another body. rescue workers said, were in plain sight but they had so, far been unable to eN- tricate it from the wreck. The dead in some instances were badly mangled. Fifteen of the injured were removed to hospitals, some of them physicians stated. so badly hurt that their re- covery was problematical. So far as could be. learned none of the passen- gers on the east bound train were hurt.
 The body of baby was recovered from the wrecked car bringing the total known deaths to seven and a few minutes later word was sent out from St. Vincents hospital that two of the injured had died. This made a total of nine deaths

The Bed Bath

Learn to give bed bath. 1t is a
comparatively easyLtask. and the-hon,s
nurse must know how to do 1t without
causing discomfort to her patient.
The bath must be given between
blankets. as wool absorbs the mois-
ture. Turn the patient on her side,
place the under blanket over the sheet
and then roll the patient over on her
other side and there you are. Put
your top blanket over the bed clothes
and draw them carefully down from
under II. This done, you have the pa
tient between blankets without ex-
posing her to cold.
Arrange all toilet accessories at the
beside. In addition 10 the basin and
a vessel to hold the water after 1t
Is used, there must be a pitcher of
very hot water to serve as a supply
in keeping the water at a certain
temperature. 1t should be as warm
as can be endured-the nurse must
be able to hold her hand in the water
while she counts ten. The face
should be washed first and dried by
''patting'' with an absorbent towel.
Hold the wash-cloth firmly, so the
water does not trickle. After the
face. the order of bathing should be
hands, arms and chest and then the
lower limbs and back. In each in
stance dry one part thoroughly be-
fore proceeding TO the next. The
bathing should be done entirely un-

important. because the upward stroke
promotes circulation. After washing
the back. rub briskly with alcohol,
which stimulates the skin and tough

against bed tenderness. Change the

the bed at a time and let your pa
