How TO PREVENT CoLp FEEr.-Cold
feet are nuisance, they are inconvenient
and decidedly uncomfortable. Ladies, we
understand, are frequently seriously trou-
bled with cold feet, and we presume
that 30 long us they insist upon wearing
thin shoes and thin and very small boots,
especially during the winter weather; just
SO long will they be troubled as above.
A young lady up town has kindly furnish.
ed us with recipe, which she has tried
and knows TO be effective, that will keep
feet warm, and we give it without, how
ever recommending its general use. She
says, 81 am troubled with cold feet, butl
manage to keep tliem warm by lying iu
bed every morning until after my mother
has built Il rousing fire and prepared
breakfast. 1 then get up, place my feet
on the front of the stove, eat my morn
ing meal, read the news, and after warm
ins some fannels and wrapping them
about my poor feet return to bed,
where remain until nearly noon. re.
