CARE IN THE SICK o o
(COntinued)


A sick person Is not feeling at his
best and visiting takes his strength
and wastes time that could be better
spent in resting. Do not allow others
to whisper just outside his door. Let
the members of his family see him for
short sessions but discourage running
In and out.
In making the patients bed be sure
that there are no wrinkles under him.
Smooth the sheets and plump the
pillows. It Is better to make up one
side Of the bed first and then move
the patient ver on the finished side.
This avoids moving him unnecessarily
or taking him out of bed. The sheets
should be changed every day, and the
patient should have one or more
sponge baths for the sake Of cleanli-
ness.
In sponging off the bed-confined
patient. first wash the limbs, begin
ming at the extremities, and working
toward the hear. Wash and dry each
part carefully without uncovering the
rest of the body, and cover it up and
60 On to the next part.
There ar. many gentle things which
you can do for a sick person to Ease
his body and bring him comfort, such
as bringing him a toothbrush so that
he may brush his teeth. During sick
ness the mouth usually feels foul, and
it is a relief to the patient to have a
mouth clean and sweet tasting. Also,
see that the face, hands and nails are
kept clean.
In feeding the patient who is i'll,
keep the tray attractive; yer If he is
living exclusively on orange Juice, 1t
may be served in a nice clean, shiny
glass. set on q clean dolly in an at
tractive plate. Provide plenty Of dis
titled water for the patient to drink.
One of the first signs of GONZALES
cence is that the Ill patient notices
the CHEEKY light of the sun and wants
to enjoy 1t. During 9. relaxing period
be sure to darken the room 50 that
the stimulus is removed from the eyes.
If the patient wishes to be read to,
then read some pleasing Or cheerful
news or book, but If he shows that he
would rather lie quietly, do not dis
turb him. DO not keep up q steady
stream of conversation. for sick people
tire of talk even more quickly than
well ones.
Getting well depends a great deal
on faith and confidence. Keep up
the patients faith while you are
doing everything else for his welfare,
and he is a long way along the road
to recovery. Never talk to the patient
on narrowing subjects. Leave the
latest murder. death, sickness. acct
dent and such news alone. Do not
tell him of other cases like his in
which the patient died.
If the patient Is In bed for more
than a few days you must take pre-
caution to avoid the bed sores This
car be done by giving the patient an
air pillow to place under his hips to
lie on, and by sponging off the parts,
which are pressed against the mat
tress, with alcohol each day.

An Arctic Adventure

If a finer tale of high adventure than the story of
Captain Andree and his companions has hit the front
pages in the last 10 years it is hard to say just what
it was.
When a band of hunters stumbled over three frozen
corpses In the wastes OF Franz Joseph Land they brought
to a conclusion one of the great mysteries of the age.
Nothing had been heard of Andrees expedition for 33
years. The man had become one of those bizarre, appeal
ing figures that take on an added covering of romance
because they simply vanish. He had drifted north into
the Arctic silence and the silence had swallowed him.
Every new polar flight, every new polar tragedy served
to recall his disappearance. He became a sort of legend
with the primitive balloon in which he dared 1900 miles
of utter desolation.
Now the mystery is over. When AndreeS diary-pre-
served. most fortunately, for the world to reads print
ed the last haze of uncertainty will go away. We shall
know just what happened to him, to Frankel and to
Strindberg. We shall know how they met their deaths,
what they said and thought and did as they finally real
lied that their adventure was doomed to disaster; and
it will be knowledge that we would not miss having.
1t is easy enough to say that Andree was only a dare
devil who accomplished nothing. Certainly his venture
was a tremendous gamble. To try to drift across the top
of the world in a free balloon is risky enough, In all
enthusiastically when you remember that even
today a flight of 600 or 700 miles is usually long enough
to win first prize in an international balloon race.
Yet one imagines that even if Andree and his men
could have known in advance just what was going to
happen to them, they would have gone ahead anyway.
True adventures and explorers are like that; which.
probably, IS why mankind always has an unquenchablc
admiration for them.
For it is always worth something to see a man over
whom the fear of death has no power at all. Most of us
never escape from the shadow of that fear. Safety first"
was our motto long before it became a printed slogan.
So when a man sets off for Arctic Businesses or tropical
jungles or man-kiling desert wastes and CANDLES with
his life for the slenderest of reasons, we cannot help
applauding. He is rising above the oldest, strongest fear
OF the race, He is proving that there are things that
ne values infinitely above his own life.
There is nothing much for US to say when a man like
Andree comes to his appointed end. It is idle to wish

The Flower Show

Bismarck's annual flower show, which closed Satur-
day night, attracted more than 1000 visitors ana was
in every way a credit to the community.
The attendance was large, it is true, but not as large
a $ the beauty of the exhibits justified. Thousands missed
an opportunity to feast their eyes on a spectacle OF rare
beauty.
The Bismarck Yard and Garden Club is performing a
real service to Bismarck and the whole Missouri Slope
area bv sponsoring these shows. They bring home to all
who attend the value of a garden both from the stand
noint of production and that of satisfaction to The spiilt'
The example set here was followed this year by Man.
dan which had a c~reditable display at its first flower
show held RECENTLY. It is to be hoped that other COM
m,,nities also will follow suit. Bisnarck's gardeners will
continue to do their best. but no one would be happier
than they, were some other Missouri Slope community
to produce bigger and better blooms than those shown in
Bismarck.
One of the fine things about gardening is that it is an
avocation in which almost anyone may engage. Flowers
grow Just as well for the poor as for the rich and one
need not have schooling of the formal type to have an
appreciation OF beauty.
The distribution of prizes to so many persons In SO
many different classes is an incentive to those who grow
flowers, but who failed to enter blooms at the recent
show. to make entries in the future.
An appreciation of the beautiful is a gift which God,
in his goodness, gave to most of us. Persons without it
are poor indeed, regardless of how much material wealth
they may boast. And beauty lovers had their fill at the
flower show.
Onlv a relative few of the exhibits met the technical
requirements necessary to win prizes, but every flower
shown did something toward lifting the spirits of those
who attended the show and putting them in closer touch
With the Infinite.

The Silent Army

- 0AANA 1900
Veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic met
again today at Cincinnati, Ohio, a bent and tottering few
of the millions of strong men who fought to save the
nation from 1861 to 1885.
Much has been said, and rightly. Of the debt which the
nation owes them. And back of them one sees an invis-
ible army-the army of the dead.
Not only those who served from 81 to IS but every
one of those who fought and suffered for their country
in time of peace as we'll as time of war, women as well as
men.
The present day schoolboy probably has little appre-
citation of that faded blue uniform, that old campaign
hat with the gold insignia at the front which was the
standard uniform of the G. A. r. member. He has far
greater appreciation of the still young and lusty men,
bers of the American Legion or of the Spanish American
War Veterans, fewer in number and grazing now, but
still strong.
Comparatively young men still can remember when
the G. A. r. was a power in the land with hundreds of
thousands Of strong and vigorous members. But the
G.. A. r. slipped from the scene. Gradually at first and
then quickly, until the meeting at Cincinnati today is a
mere shadow Of the group which once met in a spirit
of true fellowship and sang "Tenting Tonight" or John
Browns Body with the hearty vigor of soldiers out for
a good time.
In Bismarck and Burleigh county a very few remain.
Lads of 20 at the close Of the Civil war in 1865 arc men
of IS now.
So it is inevitable, as the G. A. r. meets again, that
we should think also of that great silent army of the ma
tons heroic dead. The men who bore the nations bur-
deps in time of stress; those who laid down their lives
on the field of battle; who suffered the h~ardships of
war; whose bodies bore the wounds and scars of con-
flict.
We think first of the G. A. r. and then of the heroes
of Americas other wars back to Concord and Lexington
and the beginning of the Revolution.
1t is a silent army, far larger and more powerful than
any ever assembled on the face of the globe.
1t is more powerful because it set the traditions and
the standards of present-day America. And America will
prosper as a nation in accord with the manner in which
it holds aloft the torch of freedom which that silent army
has handed down to us.

in mathematics and the physical
sciences, Lavoisier was carefully edu-

the French Academy of Science for
the best and cheapest means Of
lighting city streets. Two years later
he was elected a member of the aca-

He first turned his attention to
chemistry in ITO. when he began
experiments in combustion. After
four years he published his Phys

he described his wi theory of
combustion which later was to form
the cornerstone of modern chemistry.
He determined that in all cases of
combustion, the matter with which
the combustible substance combines
is, in all instances, vital air." termed
today oxygen.
Lavoisier was of considerable serv-

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Brain Irritation

Question: II. A. s. asks: Would
a feeling of semi-consciousness before
going to sleep and when awakening
be caused from q brain trouble? Are
there any cures for an inflamed
brain?"
Answer: Inflammation or irritation
Of the brain al certainly he cured IT
proper measures are taken in time.
The semi-conscious feeling which you
have before going to sleep Is probably
due TO digestive disorders and because
your stomach is upset from the eve
ming meal.
Should One Go Hatless?
Question: j. H. writes: II recently
read an article which condemned the
almost universal habit some me have
Of not wearing hats. This article
contended that the habit made these
men susceptible to various illnesses,
especially al trouble, and that the
practice was. as a whole, detrimental
to health. I, myself, have not worn
a hat for years, and notice no i'll
effects. And I know young men who
have played football every year for
three years in slush, mud and rain
and none OF them has had any ill
nesses. What Is your opinion about
this?"
Answer: It should not be neces-
sary for a man to wear a hat except
in bad weather. and if the scalp be-
comes used to the climate the man is
living in, there is no reason for using
a hat except to conform to conven-
tional standards so as not to appear
queer.
