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.

DO YOU KNOW
WHAT WHITE LEAD IS?
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. Ad

GLAD TO HAVE HIM GO.
Toil-Gate Keeper Thought He Had
Visit from His Satanic Majesty.
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."

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. I can think and write
n groat deal easier."

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,
