IN THE SICK ROOM WINTS THAT NURSE WILL DO WELL TO REMEMBER. Much Strain Can Be Avoided by Intelligent Methods of Work. It is a great art to bo a good sick itirse. It 1b surprising how individuality ah I . 1 n I ! unnltl I 11(1 nil . tlenfs individuality shows Itself by the patient being either gentle and patient or irritable and unreasonable. The individuality of the nurse will bn expressed in the way she meets these developments of the patient. The strain on the part of the nurse to hold herself in cheek, to subdue her own Individuality and adnpt hersell to tho temperament, moods and whims of tho patient is excessive. This mental strain is what wears out tho trained nurse, because it is cease less. She goes from one case to an other, and It is always the same thing, with variations. But you home nurses may, fortu nately, only have an Illness in the fam ily once in a long time, so that you dj not have this endless strain. When it does come take it quietly and call into use all your self-reserve, for you may need it. A very ill person, especially if de lirious, may take a temporary dislike to some members or the family, and the queer part of it is that it is gen erally the patient's favorite when well. You will have to use tact and not let a thing of this kind ruffle you. Re member, it Is the disease and not the real feelings or the patient. The high rever is accountable for much of this rractlousness and you will always bear in mind that the pa tient would be distressed IT conscious of the ract that she is behaviug un reasonably and giving unnecessary worry and unhnpplness. A delirious patient may say some thing that will arouse your righteous wrath and your first Instinct Is to "an swer back." But hold onto yoursoir and say nothing. Be firm In giving (he regular treat ment at the regular times. The pa tient may object, then blame you af terward for not having done all things needed. By coaxing and using tact you can have your way about it. but you cannot if you go about It in a brusque way that will antagonize the Ijatient. In trifles humor the patient, but in' things of vital importance try quietly to gain your point. Never use force with an ill person; persuasion an swers better. Never look tired and bored In the sickroom; It will annoy and distress the patient. We often hear some one say, after there has been an illness in the fam ily: "I never had my clothes off for weeks." That seems the acme of good homo nursing to many women. According to the trained idea it is absurd. It adds nothing to the comfort of the pa tient for you to c uncomfortable and unhygienic for weeks. It is so unnec essary from every standpoint. A hos pital nurse Is trained to take good care of herself, otherwise she cannot take good care of her patient. Never eat your meals in the sick room; it annoys the patient and is not wholesome for you. Never complain while in the sick room of pain In your back from bond ing over the bed, though you will be sure to have It. Don't sigh and say you have a headache from staying in doors so much. The patient may feel bad as it is to givo you this extra work and responsibility for caring for her. Don't add to her distress by re pining or pitying yourself. If you have no member or the fam ily to help you, you should accept the help or a neighbor; they are always Rood about helping, too. Dainty Top for Sponge Cake. A secret learned from a Swede cook is to sprinkle a little white sugar over eponge cake before baking. It will come. out or the oven with that dainty crust over the top.

Its Chief Use and a Method of Deter, mining Good from Bad Explained. 1 White Lead is the standard paint material all over the world. I. Is made' by corroding metallic lead Into a whites powder, through exposing It. to the: fumes of weak acetic ncid and carbonic acid gas; this powder la then ground and mixed with linseed oil, making a thick paste, in which form it Is packed and sold for painting purposes. Tho painter thins it down to the proper consistency for application by the ad dition of more linseed oil. The above refers, of course, to pure, genuine White Lead only. Adulterated and fake "White Lead," of which there are many brands on the market, Is generally some sort, of composition containing only a percentage of white lead; sometimes no White Load at all; In such stuff, barytes or ground rock, chalk, and similar cheap substances are used to make bulk and Imitate tho appearance of pure White Lead. There Is, however, a positive test by which the purity or impurity of Wiiite Lead may be proved or exposed, bo- fore painting with It. The blow-pipe llame will reduce ' pure white lead to metallic lead. If a supposed white lead be thus tested and It. only partially reduces to lead, leaving a residue, it Is proof that something else was there besides white lead. The National Lead Company guar antee all White Lead sold in packages bearing its "Dutch Boy Painter" trade mark to prove absolutely pure under this blow-pipe test, and that you may make the test, yourself in your own home, they will send free upon re quest a blow-pipe and everything else necessary to make the test, together with a valuable booklet on pnint.

This is not the only age in which motor cars have created excitement and disturbance. In 1802 such appari tions were few and far between; at. present they are too frequent to at tract attention. Mr. Joseph Hatton, in "Old Lamps and New," tells of thc fright caused by one of Trevithick's steam locomotives, made to run on unrailed roads in the early part of the , last century. ' Now and then one of these extraor- ; dlnary vehicles would be encountered, snorting and pufllng on the highway. The countrymen regarded them as tho evil one in disguise. One of the cars, coming to a toll gate, stopped for the gate to bo opened. The toll-man came hurrying out. He flung the gate open with trembling hands, and teeth which chattered audibly. The driver asked him how much toll there was to pay. "O, nothing, dear Mr. Satan, noth ing!" hastily assured the man. "Go on as fast as you like; there's nothing to pay." Youth's Companion. A New Excuse. "I suppose your husband is proud to contribute his share toward tho support of our beautiful library?" "Yos," answered tho woman with ' the slightly acid expression; "only John was none too industrious in the first place and now he's tempted to put in most of his time reading novels and trying to get his money's worth." Washington Star. HAPPY OLD AGE Most Likely to Follow Proper Eating. As old age advances, we require less food to replnce waste, and food that will not overtax the digestive organs, while supplying true nourishment. Such an ideal food is found in Grape Nuts, made of whole wheat and barley by long baking and action of diastase in tho barley which changes the starch into sugar. The phosphates also, placed up un der the bran-coat of the wheat, aro in cluded in Grape-Nuts, but left out of white flour. They are necessary to tho building of brain and nerve colls. "I have used Grape-Nuts," writes an Iowa man, "for S years and feel as good and am stronger than 1 was ton years ago. I am over 7-1 years old, and at tend to my business every day. "Among my customers 1 meet a man every day who is 92 years old and at tributes his good health to tho uso of Grape-Nuts and Postum which ho has used for tho last fi years, lie mixes Grape-Nuts with Postum and says they go lino together. "For many years before I began to eat Grape-Nuts, I could not say that I enjoyed life or knew what it was to be able to say 'I am well.' I suffered greatly with constipation, now my hab its are as regular as over In my life. "Whenever I mnke extra effort I depend on Grape-Nuts food and It just fills the bill.

Tho following letter written the Do minion Government Commissioner of Emigration speaks for itself. It proves the story of tho Agents of the Gov ernment that on the free homesteads offered by the Government It Is pos sible to become comfortnbly well off In a few years: Reglna, Sask., iilird Nov., 1907. Commissioner of Immigration, Winnipeg. Dear Sir: It is with pleasure that 1 reply to your request. Some years ago I took up a homestead for myself and also ono for my son. The half section which we own Is situated between Rouleau and Drlnkwater, adjoining tho Moose Jaw creek, is a low level and heavy land. Wo put In 70 acres of wheat in stubble, which went 120 bush els to the acre, and H0 acres of sum mer fallow, which went 2f bushels to the acre. All tho wheat wo harvested this year Is No. 1 hard. That moans the best, wheat that can be raised lyi the earth. Wo did not sell any wheat yet as we Intend to keep ono part, for our own seed, and sell the other part to people who want first-class seed, for there Is no doubt If you "sow good wheat you will harvest, good wheat. We also threshed !,000 bushels of first-class oats out of 1C0 acres. 80 acres has been fall plowing which yielded 00 bushels per acre, and SO acres stubble, which went !10 bushels to tho acre. These onts aro tho best kind that. can bo raised. Wo have shipped threo car loads of them, and got fifl cents per bushel clear. All our grain was cut In tho last week of the month of August, before any frost could touch It. Notwithstanding the fact that, wo have had a late spring, and that tho weather conditions this year were very adverse and unfavorable, we will make more money out. of our crop this year than last. For myself 1 feel compelled to say that. Western Canada crops cannot bo checked, even by unusual conditions. I am, dear sir, Yours truly, (Signed) A. Kaltcnbruiiner. Tho damage caused by rust.
