How To Keep
Yourself Well
Pneumonia Patients


Pneumonia is spread both directly
and indirectly from person TO per-
son.
The germ is probably carried
most frequently from the lungs,
nose, and mouth Of those who have
the disease.
In caring for a patient. the pre-
vention of the spread Of the disease
TO others is important.
No one should be allowed 70 sleep
in the same room with the patient.
In fact. no one but the nurse should
be allowed in the room.
Care should be taken that all
discharges from the lungs, mouth
and the nose are collected on bits
of gauze or rag, or paper napkins.
and burned.
II the patient complains OF head
ache and fever, he should be given
water to drink, and a cold compress
to the forehead. Only such medi-
cine should be given as is prescribed
by the doctor.
If the patient is so situated that
he can be attended only by some
one who must also look after others
in the family, it is advisable that
such attendant wear a wrapper,
apron or gown over the ordinary
AlOu5t GlOEA4CE AAAlE II EAlE Elm LOOhA
and slip this off and wash and dis
infect his hands when leaving TO
look after the others.
Tho patient should have separate
dishes. and these should be sterilized
with BOILING water after use.
Dropsy
Please send me advice on the
treatment of dropsy.
Dropsy may be due to Bright's
disease, or to disease of the heart,
or to cirrhosis Of the liver. or to
some abdominal growth, or TO some
obstruction in a vein. Under the
circumstances you will realize that
a person suffering from dropsy
should be under the care of a quail
fed physician.
Nutrition
A short time ago 1 saw in your
advice that children should have
plenty of butter as they required a
certain element in It. II they have
enough rich milk, won't they get
that element the same as il they
had butter?
Rich milk contains the same
mountaineering element hal 1:
Icontained in butter, but this refer
to the cream or fat OF the milk. Il
is doubtful whether children
though drinking milk freely, would
get enough eam to entirely re
place all the butter which is usual,
taken in a suitable meal. Growing
children should be given liberia
amounts OF both milk and butter.

in a newspaper, the president went

mother, who had brought up eight
children, had expressed the hope prior

your very remarkable family of six
teen children. I cannot resist express

mother bore eight children and raised
six of them to maturity. One after
noon, shortly before her death, we
were all at my home holding a family
reunion and she spoke of having borne
eight children and said, with an af-
fection most appealing to me, that sha
had been happy to bear eight children
and if she had her life to live over she
would have no desire to change it ex-
cept to bear eight more. I thought
it was beautiful thing for her to say
and the recollection Of it inspired me

best wishes.

STUDIES IN
NATURAL HISTORY
BY JAMES HENRY RICE, Jr.
THE GOLDEN PlOVER

The Golden Plover is one of the
greatest travellers among birds. It's
annual migration covers more than
sixteen hundred miles. Once y COM
mon bird everywhere, it has become
rare. Wayne says he shot his last
Specimen in 1880; it is now in the
Charleston museum.
1t breeds from kotZebue sound along
the Arctic coast TO the mouth of the
Mackenzie. ard from Melville island,
Wellington channel and Melville PEN
insula south to northwestern Hudson
bay.
After the young are ready to fly, the
birds take their way tC Labrador and
feed for six weeks on 4 berry, known
as the Curlew berry, which stains their
flesh a dark purple. Then they make
out to sea as though they would cross
the ocean, but make a sharp turn at
the bermuda islands and go south,
crossing Barbados on the outer rim
of the Caribbean sea. They stop at
neither place, unless compelled to do
so by foul weather, but rest on the
water when tired. The route is straight
on over the dark forests Of Guiana
and above cloud-capped RorGima, and
further yet, across the vast selvas Of
the Amazons the mightiest forests on
the globe until they alight on the
pampas of Southern Brazil, Paraguay
and Argentina, where they spend the
summer of the Southern hemisphere
(Our winter).
Fly Across the Andes.
The following spring they cross the
Andes, and make up the Pacific coast,
sections arriving at Panama and in
Texas the same day. By June ], they
are back at the breeding grounds.
This is truly a mighty migration and
covers more of the world than most
men will ever sec.
