years. She has raised a large family of
children, "besides belngdearest friend and
mother to the other two wives and numer-
ous children of her husband. ”
Mrs. Taylor is spoken of as being a
woman of “great executive ability. the
proof of this assertion being shown in the

To the Manner Born.
In these times. when fortune smiles one
day and frowns the next, many a woman
who has been tenderly and luxuriously
reared finds herself forced to care for her»
self in the most undreamed of and prac-
tical way.
if she be “to the manner born" and
gentle blood flows through her wins from
a line of good ancestry. she goes bravely to
work, and keeps her heart sunny and true
so that her face may reflect those happy
qualities and help her win friends in the
new path of life which is so untried and
strange to her. All the accomplishments
and polish which wealth and travel and
association with cultured people have fur
stowed upon her she puts to practical use.

a moment ashamed of beluga busy Wolllllll
—a bread winner—when she does her work
honorably and well and conscientiously
knows and feels that she does not shirk
and that nothing would induce her to do
it The friends who cling to her in her
change of fortune are the friends she needs
and the friends she clings to. She can
easily do without those who, since she is
supporting herself and no longcr has a
stately home of her own, turn aside for
fear they may lose their "position" if they
"associated” with a “working woman. "
She learns much of human nature as
she treads her new path. and is as quick to
recognize true nobility and worth as she
is to offer sympathy and her own strong
and gentle helpfulness. '
She has funny shocks and trials—n
world of them sometimes. But if she is a
true, brave woman. with the right kind of
pride about. her. she is not going to prutc
to the World of her troubles nor lot thcm
show in her face. She is going to smile
straight through it all, iko the thorough

she has no time for uscicss regretting.

A: wet dressing, or compress, as it is
called. consists of a moist cloth next the
skin, a slightly larger pleas of oiled paper
ormsnklntosh shove the wet cloth. and

piece of flannel above this, the whole bun-
daged sunlcieutly tight to exclude the air.
The object of a wet dressing is to relax

diately underneath and to act as a ‘local
sedative to the nerves. its use tends to
ulieve congestion and inflammation. It
also acts as a counter irritant, drawing
organic and deep seated inflammation to
the surface.
The wet dressing corresponds to a warm
bath at 98 degrees to 100 degrees 1“. To
be of service it should be continued for a
considerable time. . '
This form of treatment is applicable to
chronic stiffening of the joints, sprains and
bruises of all kinds. The heat and swoll-
ing rapidly disappear, though the stiffness
may require proper manipulation after the
removal of the bandage.
By using it as a counter irritant applied
to the feel, it is possible to control the cir-
culation of the blood in the brain. A con-
venient method is to wring a pair of cot-
ton seeks out of warm water, put them on
the feet. and cover them with two pairs of
knitted woolen socks. A compress may be
made for the hands by using gloves in the
same manner.
Wet dressings applied to the pit of the
stomach are of great value in inflammatory
conditions of the digestive tract. In these
cases we may simply use a towel wrung
out of hot water. rl‘ho towel is kept in
position by two or three folds of flannel
wrapped around the body, and should be
changed every hour or two. .

The Foot bath.
- Aside from the daily bath, the feet.
should be washed at least once nday. This
is a matter of a few minutes. and insures
neotnoss, rest and comfort. If the tired
shopgiri or saieswomau who has been
standing for ten hours would dip her foot
into a basin of cold water instead of call
ing or doing up her back hair. she would
have a lighter stepand feel more like walk»
log home than usual. ‘
Walking beats the feet, standing muses
them to swell. and both are tiresome when
prolonged. There are various kinds of
fmtbuths, and authorities differ as to their
value. Hot water enlarges the foot. by
drawing the blood to them. When used,
tlicyshnllld be rubbed and exercised before
attempting to put‘on a tight boot. Mus—
tard and hot water in a footbath will dis-
perse a fever when taken in time. cum a
nervous headache and induce sleep. liun~

hot footbaths a week and a little pedicur-

. Canned Goods.
Cases of poisoning from the use of can-
nod goods arise with sufficient frequency
to keep alive the suspicion that such food
will bear watching at least. Salmon and
other fish soeiu particularly productive of
trouble after being canned. Tinned chick-
au and dried beef have recently been the
cause of serious illness in two separated
communities. 13‘me examination in those
instances a germ sufficiently virulent to
kill rats andgulneu pigs was found. While
it is not necessary perhaps to be unduly
niarmcd over those isolated cases, it is well
to observe caution and to examine closely
the appoaranoe and flavor of any canned
food before using it. Almost any germ is
killed in the cooking, and it is an excel—
lcnt‘ plan to heat thoroughly all tinned
food. even if it must be cooled again before
being served. Pouring boiling water mcr
dried beef will wash it and make it tender
without mntcrinlly injuring its flavor. it
may be quickly dried in the oven.
