burst out in voice completely

The ZnUaLid
at Home
BY Loretto G. Lynch.

TN these extraordinary times,
when SO many women have to
4 play nurse to some sufferer.
every mail brings me letters from
earnest women who want direc-
tions for preparing the dishes
usually ordered by a physician.
Invalid cookery consists of three
kinds of diet. These are liquid.
light, and conva1escent When a
doctor is obtainable, he will tell
you just what the patient may have
In general way, but the more
you know about food preparation
and serving, the better able you
will be intelligently to carry out his
orders.
An alimentary canal, weakened
by illness, may be compared to an
immature one, so there is sense in
reducing the diet Of a very i'll per-
son to that of baby. Moreover,
nourishment in cases of illness
should be given often and in small
quantities.
LIQUID DIET.
Here Is a suggestive diet for .
patient on liquid diet:
8 a. m.-Warm milk. y cupful.
10 a. m.-Chicken broth, n cupfuL
IL m.-Eggnog.
. p. m.-Kumyss, glassful.
4 p. m.-Chicken broth, u cupful.
p. m.-Milk punch, y cupful.
p. m.-Cocoa, u cupful.
The milk served a patient should
never be boiled. Measure the guam
tity desired and put it into a double
boiler until it is of the desired tenn
perature. If you are not sure OF
your milk supply, ii is well to ask
the physician as to your scalding
the milk you serve. This is done
by putting the milk in a double
boiler and heating it until the beads
appear around the edge. Scalding
tends to kill Off certain harmful
bacteria.
AS a rule, 1t is unwise to prepare
any more food at one time than the
patient is likely to eat. In pre-
pairing chicken broth, however, pre-
pare sufficient to last for several
feelings. The broth will keep "
placed in a clean, well-covered ves-
sci in the refrigerator. In some To-
calities one can purchase half or
quarter of chicken. Cut the meat
from the bones and crack the bones
into small pieces. Put meat and
bones into a cook pot and cover
them generously with cold water.
Let soak a couple OF hours. Then
cook very slowly for two hours.
Strain the soup through cheese
cloth. When cold, the cake of fat
may be removed from the top. Re-
heat and salt the por iion TO be used.
There are various recipes for
making eggnog. Here Is a delicious
one in keeping with prohibition
days: Break an egg into a cup and
beat 1t until it is very light with a
rotary egg beater. Add gradually
two teaspoons OF sugar and one and
one-half tablespoons of lemon juice
Pour into a dainty drinking glNss
and sprinkle with nutmeg just be-
fore serving.
LIGHT DIET.
Light diet contains all the dishes
included in liquid let, with the ad-
dition OF sruels, soft pud iings, gel
atine jcllies. soft-cooked eggs and
toast or milk toast. The change
from one kind OF diet to another
should be made gradually and only
after consulting the physician.

LIFE,s SCARS.

The choicest garb, the sweetest grace
Are oft to strangers shown;
The careless mien, the frowning face
Are given to our own.
We flatter those we scarcely know;
We please the fleeing guest,
And deal full many thOughtless blow
To those who love US best.
Love does not grow on every tree,
Nor true hearts yearly bloom;
Alas for those who only see
This cut across the tomb.
But soon or late the fact grows plain
To all. through sorrows test;
The only ones who give us pain
Are those who love US best.

NEWS PRINT HAS NOW ADVANCED
500 PER CENT.

A current report of the Government
Forest Service says that the larger
newspaper publishers of the country
have been unable to keep down the
advance in cost of their newsprint to
about 200 per cent because of their
liability to contract m large volume.
but the market price, according to the
bulletin, has advanced 500 per cent
since 1915. 1t is at this price that the
small publisher is compelled to buy
his paper stock.
Primarily the season for the ad,
vance in paper is due to wood short
age. In earlier days the paper mills
were built in the lumber regions and
their pulp wood was sort of by
product of the saw milling industry.
But in most of these regions the saw
mills have furnished and they have
packed up, burned out or moved away
for some other reason. But the paper
mill cannot play the part OF the car
pet bagger'' quite so easily, and the
United States has become largely de-
pendent upon Canadian wood. Spruce
from Minnesota and Canada, for ex-
ample, is being hauled from 700 to
1900 miles to Wisconsin paper mills.
fifty per cent. of our newsprint is
produced, sixty per cent. OF the pulp
and paper mills have absolutely no
timber supplies of their own. New
Hampshire and Main appear to be
the only eastern states that still have
raw material for making paper, and
there is well-grounded suspicion
in the paper trade that the day OF pro-
fiteering in spruce, hemlock. balsm
and poplar is pretty well under way.
The big papers, in any event, are
certainly eating up the little ones,
and their funny Sheets" magazine
sections and other irrelevent features
add to the tragedy of the proceedings.

The once prosperous town OF Sano
Springs has become neglected flag
station. The post office was discon-
tinued several months ago and the
citizens receive their mail by rural
route. The location of Sand Springs
was good and in the early days OF its

three-story hotel, that was one of the
sights of South Fork township as we'll
as Mansion house" upon the hill.
The newspaper was discontinued, the
hotel burned and the mansion house
once the scene of gaiety and hopefuil-
ness fell with decay. When the early
boosters passed away there were lack
ing those who had the attitude for
town building.
