This would not be wise, and yet the
seriousness of fever must not be over
looked
The skin Of a person with fever will
probably feel hot to the hands, the eyes
will he very bright or perhaps very dull
and the patient may be delirious or ex
cited or in stupor.
1t is always a good plan to take the
temperature in every case of illness. This
is done with the clinical thermometer.
To take the temperature shake down
the mercury to % degrees Fahrenheit or
below. Wash the thermometer in clean
cold water, shaking off the clinging drop.
Put it in the patients mouth, under
the tongue. with the lips closed tightly.
Leave it for five minutes, after which it
can be removed and read.
Wash the thermometer in clean, cold
water before putting it back in its case.
Remember that in fever the temperature
is always higher at night, perhaps by .
or 8 degrees, so that a high morning
temperature is more serious than the
same temperature at night.
The normal temperature is 9S40 de-
grees Fahrenheit. From that point TO
100 degrees Fahrenheit to 102 degrees
Fahrenheit is moderate fever. and from
102 degrees to 100 degrees high fever.
Still higher temperatures are very uncom-
mon.
Children are much more liable to fever
from slight causes than are their elders
In any case of fever the place for the sick
person is in bed if possible in a quiet
dark room.
The patient should be lightly covered
He may be bathed in cool water. This
food Should be very simple; milk or lit
tie milk toast will be all that is required.
Plenty Of cool water is necessary. Call
the doctor iE,.,,.ll inIa,v

Spirit in annual Affair.

Whatsoever ye do unto the least of
spirit, If not the motto, Of the Little
Mothers Club at the Easter celebration
which was held Saturday afternoon at
the home of Mrs. Maryland S. Krause,
$3.50 North Capitol avenue.
The little mothers" who were the
guests of the afternoon. ranged in age
from S to IA. who, while their mothers
are away all day at work, take upon
their unframed shoulders the burden of
caring for the younger children, tending
the babies, building the fires, preparing
the meals for the mothers home coming
in fact, doing all in their power to
take the absent mothers place
Saturday, however. was a glorious
holiday for them, with all the joys of
Easter rolled into one afternoon-new
dresses, new shoes, Easter egs, cakes
and doughnuts, and most wonderful of
all-for the "little mothers" are essen
TALLY feminine-new Easter hats for
each and every one OF the thirty weight
girls who were at the party. Nor will
those who were unable to afford car
fare to make the trip be forgotten, for
nearly 200 hats have been saved for them.
hand Saturday enjoyed q chicken dinner
with Mrs. Krause Sunday.
The organization behind this work Is
made up of women who also call them
selves "The Little Mothers" who have
for fourteen years been bringing help
and comfort and cheer to the poor chill
dren Of Indianapolis. The organization
visits the children in their homes,
teaches them how to keep house, buy
the days supplies-and In many cases
finds 1t necessary to provide the money
for food-brild the fires without the use
Of coaloil (thus preventing many serious
accidents) and cook the meals for the
family.
On Saturdays the children are taken
on outings, to gather Wild flowers in
season and to enjoy the beauty Of the
out-of-doOrs away from the grlme Of
the tenements.
Some day the club hopes to own a real
country home, with cherry trees and
strawberry beds and a chicken yard and
all that goes to make up Ideal country
lille, so that the little mo hers" may
prepare themselves for pleasant, healthy
life on a farm instead Of places in a
city factory.

And now have made Jack late to
the Office two mornings in succession!
I'm terribly sorry because Jack hates it
so. He's punctual by nature; never too
carly. never too l;se OF any engagement

boss" has a horrible habit OF pointing
out tardy individuals for reprimand, and
making them feel like small boys late to
school.
This morning he pointed a forehnger
straight at Jack when he walked IN
eight minutes after o'clock. And he
fairly yelled out:
Late again, Madison! You were late
yesterday! Why? Explain!"
And after storming so that almost
everybody turned around to see how
Jack took it, the boss went right
on with business and never gave jack
chance to say a single word.
And it was my fault that Jack had
to endure this humiliation. But he didn't
tell me about It, Jessie Langdon did.
She had lunched with her husband down
town and then she phoned me.

produce more when lines are put
in.
This town has grown in year from
$500 to $4,000. And all as result of
Humphreys struggle to develop the
field, laughed at by sober citizens.
Now Humphreys announces he'll
make good on his promise. He's start

donations to churches and libraries.
