Do you recall the Old saying, "A merry heart doeth good like medicine?" Being confined to bed is not much fun and it takes a great deal of thoughtful attention to sustain a patient. It may he a sym- pathetic smile or a cheery card or letter which helps, Then, too, there is the prospect of an attractive tray three times a clay. The restful atmos- phere of a room also makes a differ- ence—freshly laundered bedclothes, an extra pillow, a hex of tissues and a thermos of water. A bedside table placed conveniently for the invalid may he the coffee table from the liv- ing room because, if the bed is low, he needs a low place for his book, clock and whatever he needs. Clean the sick room daily and do it quietly. This is often quite a job without raising too much dust or the patient's temperature. If you must be nurse and housekeeper, streamline your household tasks so that you get plenty of rest too. When theeteay is brought to the bedside, it should provide something attractive and surprising. By the way, a bed tray is a good purchase for family use. On the tray place a col- ourful plastic mat and set something interesting amid the essentials such as a flower in a bon bon dish, a novel- ty salt shaker, a quaint little cream jug or individual ramekin dishes to hold the food. Cut ,the buttered bread in pieces easy to handle or make dainty sandwiches garnished with cress. Serve hot foods hot and cold items cold. There should be no drip to the salad and sauces should not mingle with other items on the plate, Patties made from lamb or veal or an individ- ual meat pie are the kind of food to make for the patient-on-the-mend. Foods for the sick must be those re- quested by the doctor but when he suggests certain soft foods your pro- blem can° be solved by purchasing baby or junior canned foods. There is a wonderful variety of these from which to choose. For the convalescent's dessert re- member fresh frozen fruit (thawed out) canned fruit salad, rosy baked apples, ice cream, sherbets, custards and other creamed mixtures. Such treats encourage any patient to "sit up and take notice." Make mealtime an occasion; set a tray for yourself, tote it along and enjoy the meal together—but don't talk about aches and pains.

"The Gist of It" One of the sights that makes both California and Florida so very lovely to see—one of the flowers that evokes thoughts of weddings and lovely brid- es- •one of the things that keeps bab- ies thriving • , all of these are em- bodied in one thing-..-the .orange. Let's consider this fruit, how it hap- pened, and The .Gist Of It now. The orange family has its true home in the Far East and inhabits a tropical or sub-tropical climate, first sweet orange to reach Europe was supposed to have been introduced by the Portuguese, who were the first Europeans to visit India. Other theories insist that the Genoese FIRST CLASS Watch Repairs AT MODERATE PRICES Owing to lack of space, am com- pelled to confine my repairs to watches only. 17" 2.9 George Lams Located in MASON'S STORE A.491,110 be given at least partial credit tor* 'introduction, having brought. it overland from Syria or Arabia. When .Genoa was at the height of her maritime supremacy her relations with the East were her chief source of prosperity. This story of Genoese introduction of the orange gets fur-, ther support when it is remembered that. the northwest eoast of Italy was an early venter for the propagation of the orange. In the days of Louis the Fourteenth of France, after the orange bad become the tree of nobil- ity, it was to Genoese nurserymen that people looked for supplies of this fruit-bearing tree. There is an early Arabic record that the orange tree was brought from In- dia about 922 A. D. and sown in Oman. Thence it was transplanted to • Basra, Iraq and Syria. But during this migration the orange lost the sweet and penetrating odor it had in India. In Europe, the bitter orange alone was known until after the 15th Cen- tury, About 1290 Seville oranges and figs reached the harbor of Ports- mouth, England, And from that day on oranges were a fairly common Itteney in the homes of English noble- men, although their principal use was • s a form of airwicic against noxious vapors. During the time of Charles the First, several indoor orange grov- es were scattered throughout Eng- land. Pcpys, the great English diarist, mentions them. With the migration of the Spaniards and English to the New World orange seeds went along. They found their ideal climatic home in Florida .and California. Here they thrived and became sweet again and made their growing one of America's great industries. Every so often, while browsing through the inside pages of our news- paper, we run across the story of seine lucky fellow who turns up an old violin in his attic. As the story usually goes, he is about to give it to Junior to use for a canoe paddle, when along comes some expert who declares the fiddle to be a genuine Stradivarius. Variations of this story crop up often enough to make us wonder if the famous craftsman, born in 1641 discovered the assembly line technique long before Henry Ford. He didn't, but THE GIST of the world's most famous musical instru- ments is a fascinating one, nonethe- less. Antonius Stradivarius made all of his famous violins by hand, of course, but his output was much greater than most of us imagine. The estimtes vary from one to three thousand manufac- tured in the course of his long life- time of 93 years. Today there are over three hundred authentic Stradivarius fiddles known to be still in existence, There are plenty of fakes around, too. You can understand why, when you know that a Strad will bring up to a hundred thousand dollars. Not that Antonius himself ever saw that kind of dough. He sold his violins for the equivalent of perhaps forty or fifty dollars each! The Stradivarius shop was located in the little Italian town of Cremona which for hundreds of years was the most important violin making center of the world, Amati Guarnieri, and many other violin makers, whose names are nearly as famous to music- ians as that of Stradivarius himself, all plied their trade in Cremona. What, makes the Strads superior? No one is quite sure. The wood—the var- nish—everything has been duplicated in other instruments, Everything that is, but the tone. A Strad makes any melody sound just a bit better, and THAT'S THE GIST OF ITI —Central Press Canadian Hodgkins, Victoria, B.C. The in- structor is Cpl. Bancroft of Ft. Devens. ries.
