HOW TO KEEP
WELL
.
DR.. FREDERICK R. GREEN
Editor of "HEALTH"
&C. 1926, Western Newspaper Union)
BED-MAKING FOR
INVALIDS

EvERYONE, whether sick or well,
should have comfortable bed.
But invalids, especially those who
have to pass any long period in bed,
should have their beds made so that
they will not only be comfortable and
restful for the invalid, but also so
that the comfort and convenience of
the attendant may be increased.
The bed itself should be about 26
inches above the floor. Either too
high or too low bed makes proper
care of the invalid difficult and I'M
necessarily firing.
Single or three-quarter beds are best
for the sick.
The bed should be firm and steady
and should not sag, woboie or creak.
The bed Stats and springs should be
we'll fitted and firm, so that there is
no danger of the mattress falling
down.
Ii possible the bed should be so
placed in the room that the nurse has
room to get around both sides and
the foot. A bed showed into corner
is not only harder for the nurse but
also generally prevents a good circu-
lation of air for the patient.
Metal bedsteads are better than
wooden bedsteads, especially old ones
that have cracks and open spaces in
which bed bugs are apt to breed. An
iron bed can be more easily washed
and cleaned. A coat of fresh paint
occasionally will keep it fresh and
clean.
Springs should me firm, so that they
will not sag in the middle. The mat
tresS should be firm smooth and thick
A thin mattress is uncomfortable, soon
mats and wears through and often lets
much cold air come through, which
keeps the patient uncomfortable. Hair
mattresses are good, but some of the
present-day felt mattresses are just
as good and much less expensive.
In making bed for an invalid. put
a good pad over the mattress, large
enough to cover it and to tuck in
smooth and tight. This may be a guilt

proof sheet which should cover al
least the middle of the bed Rubber
sheetinG. OilclOth or several layers Of
newspapers can be used. Spread this
perfectly smooth, as wrinkles and
ridges are apt to be very Irritating to
the patient.
The under sheet should be stretched
tight and tucked in on all four sides.
The upper sheet should be tucked In
at the foot bat left free at the sides
SO that the nurse can have easy access
to the patient. Bed clothes should be

the patient, but not 80 heavy that the

Stage Friends Enlist World
in Dying Composers
Fight Against Death.

Voices of old friends from the the
alter were in the air Saturday night.
They sang for Guy Massey. Texas
seilor-boxer actor composer, who's,
composition of the modern "Prisoner' S
Song" has ironically brought him
fame on his deathbed.
The voices were those Of actors il
Dallas playhouses who staged radio
benefit for the dying author from sta
ton WRR of that city. And the en-
tire world learned Of the plight OF
Massey and his fight for life pro
longed by the same bravery which
brought two citations in France dur
ing the World War.
He knew they sang but the sound
was not for his ears. Hospital au'
thorities, who were informed Of the
radio program by the San Antonio
Light, told him. But Massey lay in
a prison from which doctors say
there is but one escape.
But those friends and former com
panions, who had known him when
he toured vaudeville on the bill with
Enrico Caruso, sang as they never had
sung before until "The Prisoners
Song" reached a million ears with al
most the hallowedness of national
anthem.
Singers voices. choked with emo
ton all but broke as they sang Mas
sey into the hearts Of America, where
his ballad had gone before.
There can be no doubt of it. The
world has Joined Guy Massey in his
fight for life; joined him in a fight
the inevitable end of which already
has been sealed. Perhaps it is the
futileness of the battle, sose may
say but others have said before:
"All the world loves a lover"
And only one who has known love
could have. written "The Prisoners
Song"

COOLIDGE SEES
NEW TAX GUT
IN FUTURE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3O.-Amer
lea is setting the pace for the rest Of
the world in orderly, efficient, eco
nomic government, President Cool
idge told the heads of all government
bureaus tonight in a speech preceding
the annual work of preparing new
budget.
Pointing with undisguised pride al
what has been accomplished since the
war by rigid economy--three reduc-
tons in taxes-the President declared
that the bureau heads have but to
continue along the. present pathway
in order to bring about another reduc-
ton in taxes within a few years."
IF we are moderate in our expen-
ditures," Mr.. Coolidge said, "the nat
ural increase in profits should, within
the next. few years, furnish us again
with surplus revenue which will per
nit further tax reduction
The President conceded it is i'm
possible to cut the present cost OF
government much. 1t now takes
around S3,5OO,OO0,OOO annually. The
job, he said, is to keep expenses from
mounting.
Constructive economy does not
contemplate lack of ample supplies for
real needs, but it is the enemy Of
waste and the ally Of orderly pro-
cedure."
"This nation today has the best
credit in the world" the President
said. "Tax reduction, business pros
perity, elimination of unemployment,
internal improvements, more comfort
and luxuries in the American home,
are the children of economy and eff
ficiency in the conduct. of govern
ment.
america has demonstrated that
self-government can be so admins.

vidual in all his rights, whether they
