Servings should be small so they will appear more appetizing. Use simple, fresh garnishes whenever possible. Before serving food, have the pa-tient as comfortable as possible. He should have face and hands washed, and hair straightened. If a tray without legs is not available, then put a pillow on the lap to hold the tray. Prop the patient so he'll be comfortable while eating. Plan to give any assistance that is essen-tial toward eating the meal. Plan to Aid Feeding Of Helpless Patient Some people-- who have been ill, and some who suffer from heart dis-orders, and children who become so weak with an illness just cannot feed Sick Patient's Bed Should be Comfortable Since someone ill is spending most of the day as well as the night in bed, every effort should be made to keep the bed comfortable. Frequent airing and changing of the bedding is essential as anyone sick usually runs a temperature and thus per-spires excessively. Two pillows are usually enough to keep the patient comfortable if he is propped. A single pillow is used at night and for naps. If desired, several small pillows may be. used for propping, too, to keep the pa-tient most comfortable. To make the bed with the patient in it, if he cannot be moved, make one side completely first, after hav-ing moved the patient to the un-made side. When this side is made, By Ertta Haley JlfflNOR illnesses which confine people to bed at home are a frequent occurence with the appear-ance of cool weather. Most home-make-view these incidents with some apprehension for they're not only upsetting to the routine of the household, but difficult to all con-cerned. "I just don't know what to do with Johnny when he has to be at home while sick," says one mother of her Or, "My hus-band's home with the flu, and he's so grouchy about being confined to bed," says another. Much of the strain and stress of these situations comes from the fact that mother does not, really know what to do about the patient. It's not worry about the patient's recovery that's upsetting nearly so much as not knowing exactly what to do Any plain basic dress can be changed each time it's worn if you have a selection of attrac-tive scarves.

It's illustrated in four colors with borders of burnt gold, pistachio green, Christmas red and Del Rio mauve. very hungry. Baths may be given in the morn-ing or afternoon, and the room made straight at this same time. Plan a reading or entertainment period after breakfast and bath time and then again in the afternoon. Scheduled rest is essential if the patient is only slightly ill, as this is the reason he's at home. A back rub late in the afternoon tnemseives. Ulder people frequently dread mealtime because it tires them so. Great patience is necessary to feed someone. First, be comfortable, sitting at the bedside rather than standing. Point fork or spoon direct-ly into the mouth when feeding so it's easy to remove the food. Never put too much food on spoon or fork at one time, and make cer-tain it's neither too hot or cold. Change from one food to the other, as is the patient's custom. Talk pleasantly and cheerfully to the patient about something other than his food during the feeding. Rest between every few bites, so the meal does not seem rushed. Bent glass feeding tubes for liquids are excellent for the help-less. Always be sure, however, when using them, that the liquid is lower than the patient's mouth. me patient can be rolled over, while the bed is completed. Special Attention Is Essential for Sick Child Illness makes children misera-ble and irritable because a child dislikes being confined and kept quiet. Furthermore, his experience with pain is limited so he cannot un-derstand it. Any sick child should be careful-ly observed as to his skin (if flushed or hot), dull eyes, restlessness and fretfulness. In a young child who cannot give expression to things which bother him, observation of these symptoms is important. Keeping the child amused is im--' portant with games of his level, reading or just telling stories to him. Paper cutting, pasting, paint-ing and coloring should be availa-ble if he likes any of them. about the whole thing. A few facts about practical home nursing will help the homemaker over these periods. Much of the handling of the patient, naturally, depends on the illness, but, in gen-eral, colds and infections and un-complicated sickness are handled simply. Definite Routine Helps To Establish Order When the homemaker knows what to do and when to do it, and fol-lows the same program every day of the illness, she can make herself much more efficient In her actual help toward a patient. At the same time, when someone confined to bed knows when he'll get his meals, bath and a freshly made bed, he'll feel that, even though he's on a srhedulo All or just before retiring is very help-ful to confined people as backs get tired. Even a rub with alcohol breaks the monotony of be-ing in bed and relaxes the patient for a good night's sleep. Food for Convalescent Should Be Attractive Food is associated with so many happy experiences that it can help greatly in a patient's recovery be-cause it improves his general out-look and well-bein- Though simple foods are usually the prescribed diet, they can be d aid attractively served. Do not be afraid to use good china and silverware. Lovely linens and anything gay in table apparel such as napkins and Good borne nursing gives aid . . . this contributes to comfort and helps keep aim as cheerful as pos-sible, an important aid toward re-covery. Schedules need not be rigid, but may be altered to fit the circum-stances. If certain things vary from 15 to 20 minutes, for example, no harm Is done, but if they stray too much from their time limits, disor-der is created. Schedules also make It possible to get things accomplished because you know certain things are to be done, and a time guide helps you speed the work accordingly. Re-member, too, that if you're often off schedule, it should probably be changed as you're attempting too much. Meals should be served at about the same times to which he is ac-customed to them, as the patient looks forward to a tray or a meal out of bed, even though he is not and comfort to helpless patient. doilies help interest the patient. A single bud or a small spray of flow-ers, or even a small plant on the meal tray can cheer someone who's sick. ISHOPPER'Sl CORNER By DOROTHY BARCLAY CHEESE IT TJTHAT'S the e favorite lunch for child and adult alike? A chorus answers cheese sandwich! There's nothing like it for appetite appeal. There's nothing like it for nourishment. And there's nothing so easy to put together on a busy day. Whether you pack a lunch-bo- x for your man to take to work, or the chil dren to take to M&lf school, or they come trailing in at different times for , FEATURE lunch, you have the e favorite lunch-tim- e treat as handy as your refrigerator ..and bread-box- . So why not stock up at your grocer's, with all the various cheeses he has available, In bulk, in celloptene-packe- d sliced time-saver-in shaker form? And you'll be ready for lunch, or snack, yea, even for a casserole dinner you can fix ahead of time, and just brown up when your long day is over. Combined with butter, cheese gives you everything you need in the way of proteins, vitamins, min-erals and fats, as well as the tasti-est and most appetizing combina- - tions you could find. Make cream cheese butter forstuffing those won-derful big celery stalks your grocer has in plenty. Make blue cheese, or roquefort or parmesan butter for stronger-tast- e spreads. You'll be the talk of your club if you serve the ladies such appetizers as stuffed celery stalks, thoroughly chilled, sliced and placed on rounds of rye bread. COME DINNER And . come dinner-tim- do you know anything more appetizing on a cold fall night than onion soup, liberally sprinkled with parmesan or other favorite cheese? The French know a thrifty buy when they make it. They know a good thing when .they taste it. And onion soup hails from France, the land of thrifty and tasty food. The French restaurant "Soup a 1' oignon gratinee" calls for butter, onions, shallots, garlic celery, wine and flour, to be sure. But we can show 'em a thing or two by just translating the main in-gredients butter, soup, onions and cheese. And just as delicious, and kind to the purse! 1 jr(y CHEESE CASSEROLES And what we can do with cas-serole combinations is American genius. There's cheese-noodl- e cas-serole, for instance. For this easy-to-fi- x, easy-to-e- dish, you cook 8 ounces of broad egg noodles in salted boiling water and make your white sauce, with liberal lacings of shaker cheese. Then alternate lay-ers of noodles and cheesa sauce in a buttered casserole, and bake about half an hour. A dish for a king, and all your royal family. Or an egg and cheese casserole dish makes an occasional hit with every family. Call it scalloped eggs, and alternate eggs and cheese in tne casserole, and drown it in your special au gratin sauce, and bake it brown. And while you're master-ing that cheesy sauce, did you ever smother cauliflower or broccoli in it? Try it your family will lov it.

It may be written quite innocently and in good faith, but the effect of it is to make me say to the writer: "Why don't you go play in your own backyard?" Such a letter lies on my desk to-day. It is signed by a woman who lives in Philadelphia; both she and her husband are foreign-bor- but came to this country as small chil-dren. "If this is the finest country in the world, we don't see it," says the letter. "We would certainly go back to our own country if we could af-ford it. But salaries there are very low and there is no work for women or girls. Here my husband makes about $138 a week, and I am paid $35 a week for night work as expected to spend her evenings washing dishes, cleaning rooms, and getting small children to bed. Years ago this mother should have gotten her brood away from the city. When a man and a woman are responsible for seven other human beings they have to make changes and sacrifices. These peo-ple should have found some ramb-ling old deserted place in the shab-by outskirts of the city, made sure there was a spacious backyard, and devoted themselves to becoming a family, and not a group of detached money-maker- Don't write me, Marta, that there are no such places; there are hundreds of them. chambermaid in a hotel. We have seven children, and live in' a five-roo-apartment which does not, naturally, allow for comfortable liv-ing. My two older boys have a paper route that pays them well, and my husband is very thrifty, we are sav-ing money, although giving the chil-dren a television last Christmas and in other ways trying to make up to them for crowded quarters. Rents are high and space scarce every-where. Impudent Child "My problem is our oldest child, Bev, who is 15. She has been acting with great independence lately, and has come home late on three oc-casions, smelling of liquor and " " . . is pretty enough . . ." cigarettes, and saying that she could not remember where she had been. She is in first year high, does well, is pretty enough, and liked by her classmates. Her father whips her, but it seems to have no effect. His desire is that she stay Jiome, as I am absent from 5 to 11 p.m. daily, get dinner and keep an eye on the younger children, so the boys can get their papers delivered. But she is impudent, and says she will run away. She has lately been offered a job as ticket clerk in a movie, after school hours, but we forbid her taking it. "I cannot myself see what is so great about a country," Marta's let-ter continues, "in which the young people have so much freedom for dangerous associates. At home girls are obedient and make themselves useful in the house. Here it is all cigarettes, lipstick, permanents, boys and running the streets. A lady came here recently to tell me that Bev would be put into a school for girls, a kind of institution, if she was seen again with certain men. Am I to blame if in our neighbor-hood these dangers exist? What argument can we use to save our girl frorr ruining her own life?" As I say, this letter makes me mad. I often get mad these days at parents who do as they please, live their own lives, neglect their families in body, soul and mind, and look calmly to America to educate, ' ' " . He Was Right And then one day she turned and saw that he was smiling at her! She smiled back at him! No, he didn't turn away, he didn't di-sappearhe looked at her more in-tently than before! "Smile like that again," he said. She blushed and dimpled. And he laughed and laughed. "Just as I thought," he said. "You look like a chipmunk." ONCE OVER Christmas, 365 Days in A Year I By H. I. Phillips ft MAN who died at 74 the other day and left an estate of $156,-44- 5 to Williams College was found to have been a college grad and department ' store Santa Claus. It seems to this department that this is something out of O. Henry. How many thousands of adult Christmas shoppers passed him, feeling a little sorry for him as just another old man forced to take a part-tim- e job? How many sized up his general ap-pearance and thought "He's not the type"? How many skeptical kiddies ment. Some can create an atomic force capable of leveling a city. But they go through life never know-ing the power to put a glow into the eyes of a city's small fry. Some can build a major industry, replete with roaring factories, mills, docks, railroad sidings and accounting houses. But have they ever mastered the secret of a smile or gesture that brings jingle bells to the ears of the young or produces a new star in the eastern sky? said scornfully, "Aw, dere ain't no Santa Claus!" Yet here was ap-parently a real Kris Kringle. How he must have chuckled as he real-ized that the last thing anybody in the shopping crowds suspected was that he was a college man, an alumnus of a great university, a fellow who could open a stable of reindeers with the keys to a safety deposit box? His name was Burritt Finch Frudden and he played Jhe de-partment store Santa role just to have something to do. He left most of his money to bis alma mater to help deserving students. Frudden is described as a genial gentleman who never got many breaks in life, worked bard and managed to get his pile through o a r e f u 1 Investments over many years. And in his seventies nothing gave him the satisfaction that came to him during the Yuletide as he played Santa In the big department store and made kiddies a little happier. Whether he was ever voted "Most likely to succeed" In his college days has not been looked into, but he might well have been. Did any of his class-mates know a greater success? There are thousands of college graduates who know high achieve- - Among the classmates of this man there may have been boys who went on to become top bankers, great editors, or powerful states-men. But did they ever make hordes of children hear a pawing of rein-deer hooves on the roof? Did they ever show any ability to make the Holy Night a glistening thing? Was there among them another man who could make "visions of sugar plums dance in their .he.ad.s"? We feel a little different about department store and street-corne- r Kris Kringles now. And also about those college students ballotings on "the most like.ly.t.o succeed." The Yanks should never have been extended: They were just playing the survivors of a two-ca- r collision . . . "Russia Accuses U.S. of Double Talk" headline. That's an apprais-al by experts .... The TJ.N. has found that its New York quarters will cost more than expected. Ya mean it couldn't even foresee any-thing as certain as that!!!'lt is predicted that cars will soon have radar to see around corners and detect a vehicle ahead. This, we take it, will provide hot-ro- d drivers with precision aim .... Banks are urging the people to turn in small coins now in piggy banks. They don't seem to realize that those things went out years ago. Safe Sleeping Pill Is Found Non-Narcot- ic Drug Induces Quick Rest IJ SAFE AND EFFICIENT new class of liypnotic was revealed with the publication of two clinical research papers which describe Dormison. Unlike the common bar-biturate "sleeping pills," the com- - pound is non-toxi- c and has no after effects. The compound contains no opium substances, no nitrogen, no barbituric acid, bromines, or sulf-one- Science, the weekly publication, reports that Dormison is a simple compound of hydrogen, oxygen and carbon. The compound was found to be "highly active, without toxic effect, and free from undesirable side actions. Sleep was brought about in the majority of patients in less than one-hal- f hour." The Quarterly Bulletin of Sea View Hospital reports on clinical cases in which Dormison was given for more than 100 days without in-dication that the drug had any toxic effects. Patients here were all with tuberculosis and had required some form of hypnotic medication (mostly barbiturates) to induce sleep for many months, hence a comparison could be made between the new medication and the previously used hypnotics. The new drug is available to in-somnia sufferers on prescription only. The usual dose is two cap-sules taken just before the patient is ready for sleep. Dormison' s wide margin of safety allows liberal ad-justment of dosage upward or down-ward until the desired effect is obtained. ' More than two years of toxicity tests were conducted in laboratories before the drug was released for clinical testing on humans. 52,000 animals were given the drug, and the hypnotic action vas studied in seven different species of laboratory animals.
