SECRETS OF
HEALTH
By DR.. C. A. L. Reed

TEIE one great danger In pneu-
4 nnonia, aside from the infec.
ton itself, il meddlesome nurs-
ing. especially by those who are
unfamiliar with what comprises
proper nursing under these con-
ditions.
Do not be tempted to give q
sleeping potion, unless 1t Is pre-
scribed by the doctor. Nothing
exhausts q pneumonia patient,
especially q child, so much ~ a
succession of sleepless nights. In
a severe case the promotion of
sound sleep from the outset may
turn the scale. In addition to
any sleeping draughts given by
the doctor, tepid sponging often
helps to induce sleep.
Pain In the chest may be q
cause of sleepleSsness and rest
lessness and often can be relieved
by local applications. These, how
ever, should not be too heavy.
This il especially important to
children, in whom the soft bony
framework is easily compressed.
When this happens the breathing
is liable to be impeded. Among
the best applications for children
are light wool applied to the pain
full side over methyl salicylic oint'
ment. Older subjects suffering
from the pain Of q small patch OF
pIeurisy may be relieved by
strapping up the sore side OF the
chest with strips of plaster. A
mustard leaf sometimes eases the
pain.
Never give drugs to take the
+emneratura down. All of them
are heart depressants, and the
heart needs to be stimulated. IT,
however, the temperature stays at
104 degrees or over for q long
time, tepid sponging will give
much comfort. Start with the
water at about 80 degrees and cool
1t down gradually by adding cold
water.
When a child under collapses,
many leading practitioners ADVISE
that 1t should be put in mustard
bath for two to five minutes. Inc
water should be as hot as can De
comfortably borne, and for eacn
gallon OF water there should be a
heaped tablespoonful of mustard
After the bath the child should be
dried quickly with warm tower
and put straight into bed.
Great and immediate relief can
be given to children who have dit
ficulty in breathing by moving
them into the open air, but they
must be sheltered.
It is mischievous meddlesome-
ness to urge a pneumonia patient
to activity during early GONZALES
cence. That is the time to go
slowly and give the long poisoned
and greatly weakened muscles, IN
GLIDING the heart, a chance to get
back their strength.
The chief requirements Of con-
Valesccnce are fresh air, avoidance
of chill, and graduated return 10
normal life. Early convalescence
is best spent at home, but later
strength may come more raploly
from the stimulus Of changed sur
roundings.

Study that sorrow Of yours. Il
1t a new or unusual sorrow? No;
billions of people have endured
and are enduring as great sor-
rows. ISN'T 1T STUPID, COW
ARDLY EGOTISM TO ACT AS
If YOU WE'RE THE WORLDS
WORST VICTIM? 1T IS.
How about remorse? You're
sorry for the thing you did.
That's good. But Is 1t good to
keep on being sorry? Does it help
you to brood over your sin, to
indulge In chronic regret? Doesn't
such brooding really waste you
as much as the original wrong?
ISN'T IT A PERVERTED WAY
OF PERPETUATING THAT
WRONG? TT IS.
Consider that hate in your
heart. Are you lessening 1t by
talking about it, thinking about
it? Aren't you really increasing
it? AREN'T YOU DOING MORE
HARM TO YOURSELF BY IN
DULGING. IT THAN YOUR
ENEMY EVER DREAMED OF
DOING? YOU ARE.
Study that fear which obsesses
you. You want to be rid Of that
fear. 1t tortures you. BUT
WILL YOU EVER RID YOUR.

ABOUT 1T, SPREADING IT'S
, CONTAMINATION TO OTHERS?
YOU WILL NOT. THE MORE

the springtime sky and the flight
OF the birds across the clouds.
Greenvilie is going to be consid-
erably gayer this year because OF
that ordinance.
That's a good ordinance for you

CONSUME YOUR OWN

Is there a bitter grief darken-

il some old remorse poisoning
your spirit?
Are you throwing out clouds OF
envy. resentment. fear or jeal-
ousy?
CONSUME YOUR OWN
SMOKE!
These things are the waste prod
uct of YOUR LIFE. YOU should
dispose of them. Don't smear up
your neighbours landscape with
gloom.
Stop and think. Does it really
do you any good to scatter your
spiritual SCOT? Not q bit. In
fact, it does you harm. Every
time you flare up you shut the
blue sky away from yourself as
well as from your listener-you
poison your air as we'll as his.
For your own benefit you should
put q. smoke consumer on your
unhappy emotions.
