Health Hints Given

On Tuesday night at the Bible
Chautauqua tent a timely lesson and
demonstration was given. Mr.. Hare
and Mr.. Moran gave talks on the
cause, prevention and cure of colds
Mrs. Lucille Prout and Mrs. Edythe
Hare, trained nurses, showed how to
treat colds effectively in the home.
That the audience was interested was
manifested by their close attention
and expression of appreciation after
ward.
When Mrs. Prout said that blan-
kets should be wrung out of boiling
water and applied to the chest and
throat, it was a relief to US VINO
thought it could not be done without
burning our hands, to be shown a way
to do it that would spare oug skins.
The boiling hot blanket was then
wrapped in dry one and applied
without irritation. We were in
terested to learn how to give hot
foot bath to a patient while in bed
and not bathe the bed more than
the patient. After the patient had
been given a good sweat, heating
compress was wrapped around the
throat and a roller chest pack applied.
The patient was then ready for bed.
This ought to give a severe jolt to
almost any cold.
