one position and can help
themselves: Tie stout new cotton
cloth cut into wide strips to the head
board or bed frame, have large knots
in each end of the strip to grasp. BY
holding to these supports one may
raise or change position easily. The
knots may be slipped under the pillow
when not in use.
Z A bed light fastened to the head
board of the bed is a great comfort
for a poor sleeper. With a slight
movement the light may be turned on
or off and one may read in bed with
out the trouble of moving.
For cired feet, a mixture of baking
soda and talcum sprinkled into the
shoes will give great relief. Change
footwear; change of shoes will rest
the feet and bath Of salt water is
very refreshing. Feet need care as
much or more than other parts of the
body, yet they are greatly neglected.
Corns and calluses may be re-
lieved by keeping them covered with
piece of surgeons tape; renew as
often as the bathing removes them.
If they cling to the hose, cover with
q small bit of absorbent cotton.
When applying adhesive plaster 10
a wound which has to be dressed
often, use short strips with tapes
fastened to the strips; these can re
united, the dressing changed and re-
turned without disturbing the adhe-
sive at all. 1t is not only painful, but
dangerous to remove adhesive on
tender skin.
