Catering to the Cortratenoent. The mom duhcult person to cater to is e convalescent, unless it be a chronic invalid. In both cases the attending physician usually hue some special suggestions to make, or the diet mey be held within pre- scribed lines. However, there are cases when the doctor merely says, "Feed up the patieot, give nourish- ing, light food, egg noes, rare beef, etc," and it u up to you to follow his wishes and at the some time try to meet the teste of your charge. A strong point in this system of feed- ing up is not to Oak a person who has been ill to come to the family table as soon as they are up unless they especially wish to do so. The commotion and general converse- ltion is often too much for worn ‘nerves and the food is not enjoyed Ior digested as reedilv; so even if fit, is a. little more work, a. carefully 'prepnred tray, served in a quiet room, is better for a convalescent, iespecially in case of nerve exhaus- ltion., Also see that a suitable stand l or table is Minced convenient for the :pntient before you bring in the itray.

Now beat the yolk of an egg and a tea- spoonful of sugar until very thick, slowly add one teaspoonful of lem- un juice or light vinegar, beat hard and then add the cream gradually. Place a well-blanched nest of let, tuce hearts on a plate and pour some of the dressing over just be- fore serving. This is very refresh- ing and a good addition to a gener- al diet. Prepared Baked Potatotm.-Serub a nice, smooth potato, trim paring from ends, and bake in hot oven un- til well done. Now heat two table- sponnful-s of milk and a. little but, ter.

"The avenge person in the city to-day lives at; summer tempers- ture all the year around while in-l doors, and, accordingly, it is a wise! thing to wear clothes of about. the same weight during all the months of the year. If this is tlone, and if per-suns wrap up properly when they pm out into a colder atmos- phere, there will be little or no dun- ger from cold and better health will be egjoyed. _ _ A _ I "The frequent chilling which peo- ple get from draughts, wet feet and other causes in cold weather lowers their resistance, and they easily be.. come infected with organisms with which they mav come in Contact every hour of the day. For instance, a perfectly healthy person might carry in his mouth the bacillus of pneumonia or diphtheria and suffer no harm. When this person has his resistance lowered to a sufficient degree, however, the attack of the disease germ is effected. "Beware of communicable dis- eases in winter. Grip, common colds, pneumonia, diphtheria and other diseases which :spread rapidly in cold weather when people huddle too much in stuffy houses are un- necessary. The germs of these dis- eases are almost everywhere at this season of the year, but they will lose their terror when persons do more to increase their power of re- sistance and improve their general health. The success or non-success of the attacks made on the body by the germs of grip, pneumonia and other winter diseases depends en- tirely on a person's physical condi- tion and his ability to ward off these attacks,” saw; Dr. Rucker.
