Clean Mouth Give*
Patient Sense of
Well-Being
Written for NEA Service
Assistant Director,
Lou* L, Trott
Red Cross Nursing Service
There is probably no one part of
nursing care that gives more com
fort and sense of well-being to the
sick person than mouth care, but,
strangely enough, the mouth is a
part of the body
that is frequently
neglected.
In almost all
forms of illness
especially
when there is
fever, the
tongue be
comes coated
and the patient
has a bad taste
in his mouth. Un
less the mouth is
cleaned regularly,
secretions and
food particles ac
cumulate, further
impair the taste and give breath a
bad odor.
Hie mouth of a sick person
should be cleaned at least every
foul hours, and always after feed
ings. If the tongue Is badly coated,
the food will taste better if the pa
tient’s mouth is cleaned before he
Is fed.
If the patient is able to clean
his own mouth and is provided with
the necessary facilities, he can do
it better than anyone else. The
home nurse should arrange on a
small tray the toothbrush, tooth
paste, mouth wash (salt water will
do nicely) a glass of fresh drinking
water, a towel, a small basin to spit
in, and a drinking tube, if needed.
Carry the tray to the bedside table.
COMFORT 18 NECESSARY
Arrange the patient in a com
fortable position and place the towel
under his chin to protect the gown
and bedding. Moisten the toothbrush
with water, squeeze some toothpaste
ot.l on it and give it to him. Hold
the basin under his chin while he
brushes and help hi. 1 in any way
necessary. After the teeth are thor
oughly brushed, have him rinse his
mouth with mouth wash.
If the patient is not able to clean
his own teeth the home nurse must
do it for him. This may be done
with the brush or with small cloth
wipes wrapped around the finger.
Toothpick swabs, mad* by wrapping
a bit of cotton around the end of a
toothpick, may be used to remove
food particles from the grooves
around the teeth.

Here’s a New Ball Game
They Play In Hollywood
To Develop Figures
BY ALICIA HART
NEA Staff Writer
You can. dust off that old and
familiar exercise for developing a
chest—remember the one taken with
shoulders pulled back and for which
you fit your palms together and
work to push your hands apart?—
because it enjoys high rating in
Hollywood James Davies, physical
instructor of one of the leading
studios, has invented as an exer
cise and a come-apart plastic ball,
which stars, who want to increase
chest measurements, work to put
together.
The idea behind the exercise,
taken with or without the ball is
sound because by forcibly moving
the muscles you build up muscle
tone and develop the chest, which
helps to make a small bust look
more sizable.
FOR LITTLE GIRLS
Make your young daughter sev
eral of these dainty dresses—in
dimity or batiste for dress-up occa
sions, and in dotted or checked cot
ton for sturdy everyday wear.
Pattern No. 8561 is designed for
sizes 2, 3, 4. 5 and 6 years. Size 3,
requires 1 3-4 yards of 35 or 39 inch
material; 2 1-2 yards machine made

Husband’s Gifts Show
State Of Your Romance
BY RUTH MILLETT
In a recant newspaper interview
the owner ol one of New York's ex
clusive shops specializing in glam
orous “at heme’’ wear for women,
said that when a man shops for his
wife he is in
terested in "glam
or'’ only — even
though she might]
need galoshes
much worse than
a filmy gown.
To point up her
statement the
shop owner told
about a man who !
spent hours select- j
ing a filmy robe j
for his wife and ]
then s a i d |
sheepishly as he
started out with
Ruth Millett it under his arm:
“I guess it’s kind of silly of me, be
cause at our house she's the one who
has to get up in the night to take
care of the furnace and look after
the baby."
Well, it probably is tooiisn, dui ■
it is a foolishness of which most
Women highly approve. Because
when a man starts buying a woman
nothing but practical gifts she can
be sure the romance in their re
lationship is gone.
That is why war wives whose
husbands are sending them ex
quisite bits of feminine luxuries
from all over the world are thrill
ed with the gifts—impractical as
many of them are, and though
many of the wives actually need
the money spent on sentimental
gifts for real necessities.
MIGHT TEACH WOMEN, TOO
The store owner’s observation
about men ought to teach women
a couple of lessons, too.
One: If you want your husband
to like to buy presents for you,
never try to steer him away, from
the frivolous and toward the pure
ly practical.
And two: Don't slight glamor,
however hard it is to achieve, what
with all the work and worry that
pile up when a bride becomes a
housewife and mother.
