person
Whenever there Is illness in a home
and it does not seem advisable, for
various reasons, to employ a trained
uurse, one person should be selected
to lake charge of the patient, and this
person should receive all orders from
the physician and be responsible for
their fulfilment.
The chief requirements for one who
is to take the part of the nurse in a
home are neatness, quietness and an
ability to carry out the physician's
orders exactly.
In her personal appearance, a nurse
must be scrupulously clean and neat.
Her hair should be tastefully dressed
and free from ornaments. Her hands
should be clean and well cared for. A
roughened hand is very annoying to
the patient. The nails should receive .
especial attention and should be filed |
rather short. A nurse should not wear
any rings for they are liable to catch
on the clothing or the patient's hair
and be annoying. The nurse's dress
should be of some washable, cotton
material, soft enough not to rustle
when she walks. White aprons give a
n*>at and tidy appearance. Her shoes
should not be too heavy, permitting
her to step noiselessly about the room.
During the twenty-four hours some
provisions should be made for suffi-
cient sleep and outdoor exercise for
the nurse. She needs seven or eight
hours' sleep and one or two hours for
exercise, besides time in which to
dress, attend to her toilet require-
ments and eat her meals without hur-
rying A nurse who does not have suf-
ficient time for sleep and rest becomes
not only physically tired, but mentally
so exhausted that she is incapable of
giving proper care to the patient or of
observing symptoms. For the sake of
the patient, be sure that the nurse is
not overworked. She can be relieved
of her duties by some other person. I
At such times as she is away from her j
patient, written orders for the substi- I
tute should be left and she should
make sure that the one left In charge
understands the directions.
The nurse always should speak In a
low, well modulated voice that can be
understood by the patient without any
effort. She should never speak in
whispers or a low tone to a third per-
son so the patient can hpar the voices
but cannot understand what is being
said A sick person is very sensitive
and whispering is annoying. The na-
ture of the illness should not be dis-
cussed and nothing but the kindest
things said before the patient. A per-
son who is very ill is incapable of
carrying on, or even listening to, a
sustained conversation. In such a
case, there should be as little con-
versation as possible in the room. a«
the patient becomes
will be explained later), answer any
questions he may ask and then quietly
leave the room, and wait outside until
he leaves the sick room. This gives
the patient an opportunity to talk pri-
vately with the physician about any-
thing he wishes. Often a patient <Joes
net talk freely with the physician nor
tell him essential things, because of
an inability to confide in him in thd
presence of a third party even if that
person is an Intimate relative. Then,
too. the nurse Is thus given an oppor-
tunity of speaking with the doctor
about anything she wishes to know
and of reporting to him anything she
does not deem it wise to say before
the patient.

RENOVATOR FOR OLD OAK
Nothing Has Been Discovered Better
Than Mixture Our Grand-
mothers Used.
Everybody nowadays knows that to
secure a bright polish on an old oak
chest or table there Is nothing to
equal "elbow grease."
In our grandmothers' days, however.
It was elbow grease plus one of their
wonderful and efficacious homemade
mixtures. Half a pint each of malt
vinegar and raw Unseed oil were
mixed with a couple of drams of but-
ter of antimony. This formed a polish
which, after a good shaking, could be
rubbed on the old wood without fear
of spoiling the color, while it brought
about a bright and glistening result,
far less smeary than the warm beer
which was the old fashioned farmhouse
renovator for old oak.

FEDERATION
10 GIVE AID
WILL RALLY TO SUPPORT OF
DYNAMITE SUSPECTS
DECLARE THEM INNOCENT
Claim Arrest of McNamara and Others
To pe Detective Frame Up in
Order to Secure Reward Of-
fered—Other News
Washington.—The entire American
Federation of Labor, with its member-
ship of nearly three million and its
vast funds, will rally to the support
of John J. McNamara, the labor lead
er, accused of being implicated lu the
Los Angeles Times dynamiting plot.
President Oompers Monday reiterated
his declaration that McNamara has
been unalwfully arrested and actually
kidnapped. At the same time he as-
serted that every resource of the great
organization would bo used to aid the
accused men.
Despite the alleged confession made
by Ortie McManigal in Chicago, Pres-
ident Oompers refused to accept for
a moment the idea that McNamara
might be Implicated in the tragedy.
Oompers charged the arrest direct-
ly to "the enemies of organized labor
in a vicious plot to destroy the labor
unions by huge money interests." Ho
characterized the removal of McNa-
mara from Indianapolis to California
as "unlawful and pernicious kidnap
ping, grossly outrageous to the laws
of the United States."
"Presuming McNamara was remote
ly connected with the alleged plot,
would the Federation support him in
a light for liberty?" Oompers was
asked.
"We will presume on no such hy-
pothesis, " lie replied, "1 havo every
reason to believe my friend is inno-
cent, and I know without question he
is absolutely incupable of a crime of
any sort."
"Do you believe that McNamara
will be given a rair and impartial trial
If the case is called before a Los An-
geles Jury?"
"That I cannot answer," replied Mr.
Gompers. "The American Federation
of Labor will see that he gets a square
deal.''
Labor organizations all over the
country are pledging financial assist-
ance for the defense of the accused,
and the trial promises to be a long and
hitter struggle. The unions look upon
the arrests as similar to the famous
Moyer-Haywood Pettlbone case; that
it is a "frame up" on the part of the
detectives and capital in an effort to
destroy the unions, and will fight the
case through the courts. It is said
that Clarence Darrow of Chicago, who
son due ted the defense of Moyer, Hay
wood and Pettlbone, will be retained
to defend McNamara and others.

leader of the world's champion Athlet-
ics, the other afternoon. "The first
time 1 saw hefty' Russell he didn't
look very good to me during the early
part of the game. Russell had a young
catcher back of the plate and the bat
tery didn't appear to work very well
together. Russell had lots of steam,
fair control, and he caught my eye be-
cause, although he Is a southpaw, lie
used a spitter." I looked for him to
ihow a good curve, but he apparently
didn't have It.
After several innings I strolled
down to the front row of the grand
stand, back of the plate, where I could
get a closer view. In the next Inning

And Connie got him at the expense
of some $12,000. Hut how much would

A Bas the Drinking Cup. .
Intermittent efforts to do away with
Public drinking cups failed. But when
we launched our crusade a short time
ago things began to eventuate. We
have consecrated ourselves to this ef
fort and we base our crusade on
cleanliness. We do not clutter the
mind with a lot of scientific stuff or
family names of germs. The best ar
gument against the public drinking
cup is to watch it in use—and the
folks who maintain It should be com-
pelled to drink from It.
Afier the drinking cup goes, we call
for volunteers to banish the public
brush and enmb from public wash
rooms everywhere.

DAME NATURE HINTS
When the Food Is Not Suited.
When Nature gives her signal thad
something is wrong It is generally

faithful and one should act at once.
To put off the change is to risk that
which may be irreparable. An Ari-
zona man eays:
"For years I could not safely eat
any breakfast. I tried all kinds of
breakfast foods, but they were all
soft, starchy messes, which gave me
distressing headaches. I drank strong
coffee, too, which appeared to benefit
me at the time, but added to the head-
aches afterwards. Toast and coffee
were no better, for I found the toast
very constipating
"A friend persuaded me to quit cof-
fee and the starchy breakfast foods,
and use Postum and Grape-Nuts in-
stead. I shall never regret taking his
advice.
I "The change they have worked in
me is wonderful. I now have no more
of the distressing sensations in my
stomach after eating, and I never have
any headaches. I have gained 13
pounds in weight and feel better in
every way. (Jrape-Nuts make a de-
licious as well as a nutritious dish,

gested and nerer produces dyspepsia
