Diolos B f?"za;;z, L & physical force must be used in caring for the sick. Tact, patience and a slav- ish devotion to details are necessary in relieving the tedium of the sick room. Redical diversions snould only be taken under skilled advice and the ob- servant nurse must know when to ex- clude any innovation which will excite or weary a patient. She must plan tactfully only such little surprises as will please and relieve monotony, mak- ing the sick room as cheerful as cir- S LOOKS SrRAIGHT ZronEAS y1005H HE\Bg? couLp STARE QNE vk CF COUNIENANCE, r cumstances will permit. A pot of fresn green plants, a change In the arrange- ment of the furniture, or some other slight thing will often supply a won- derful interest on the part of the wearied patient. Tiresome, talkative persons should be rigidly excluded from the sick room at all times; be cheerful yourself and never whisper in a sick room under any circumstances, for it is pos- itively distressing to the average per- son, who is inclined to be morbid when iil. Keep the room exquisitely clean and orderly, removing soiled articles ag quickly as possible. If the patient cannot leave her bed it soon becomes overheated and will cause a nervous person to become restless toward mid- night as the vitality lowers. A change to well aired pillows and covers will often induce refreshing sleep. The un- der sheet and quilt which protects the mattress should be drawn out smooth- ly and tucked in firmly and the under- garments worn by the patient straight- ened occasionally. Ventilation is of paramount importance; pure air will soothe and refresh a patient as noth- ing else can. To prevent catching cold cover the patient with a warm blan- ket, head and all, and throw the win- dows open for fifteen minutes at in- tervals during the day, further pro- tecting the patient by placing a screen about the bed. To impart a delightful refreshing odor to the room, fill a bowl with hot water and pour in a few drops of oil of lavender, just enough to give a faint, sweet odor. Never use heavy perfumes. ABOUT BROAD SHOULDERS Liz- zie)—Fashion is not always as foolish as we are led to believe. Like most customs of civilized life the harmful mistakes or abuses are being continu- :1ly harped upon, but the real values, which are constantly to the fore, are scarcely considered until they The fashionable broad shoulder waists are cases in point. T broad shoulder effect has already proven a blessing to womankind which will be handed down to posterity. It has not only inspired but forced the need for better physical development. Force of example has demonstrated, as ar- gument never has, the pitiful differ- ence between a narrow, flat chest and shoulders which have so long been accepted as truly feminine, and the beauty of stron well-molded lines. The first improvement in form was al- mest entirely a matter of the dr maker’s art; later not a little dismay was felt when the difficulty of fitting a thin shirt waist, which cannot be built out by the tailor's tricks, over a thin, flat form was encountered. Then, and not tili then, was the physical defect indisputable and women who had not enjoyed the privileges of gymnasium practices realized that they must de- velop their bodies to k up with the pace set by fashion. The fact that you observe so many robust women to-day is not that they all happened to be born healthy, but they have made themselves strong and rosy by careful living. You can do the same by daily practice and a simple, wholesome diet. In the main you have little to complain of besides your thin arms and chest. Deep breathing should be faithfully practiced and the following simple exercises used; they are especially useful in developing the chest and arms: Ventilate ti@ room thoroughly and slip on a kimona. Rest the hands on the legs just above the knees, relax the muscles of the back and bend the body forward, resting the weight upon the arms and hands. As the legs bend at the knees the face coming are old stories. should be brought as nearly on a level with the knees as possible; by this you will see the body is very much bent forward. Raise the body erect by press- ing the weight upward by means of straightening the arms. Repeat sev- eral times; if the muscles begin to feel very tired stop at once. The movement should be dome slowly to avold mus- cular strain. Should you feel a bit sore or stiff after the first trial, rub the muscles with equal parts of aleohel and water, accompanied with brisk friction. R MME. YALE'S Almond Blossom OMPLEXION ....
