REMEDY FOR CHAPPED HANDS,
The writer has tried the remedy given
below and can vouch for its efficacy.
1t is one of the cheapest and simplest
cures for chapped hands that has ever
come to his notice. He has tried the
application of glycerine time and
again, for this trouble, hardly ever
succeeded in getting any relief, and re-
alizing the worry and trouble one suf-
fers with chapped hands, he gives this
remedy and asks every sufferer to try It,
as it is harmless. Here it is: Take
from teaspoonful to a tablespoonful
Of cider vinegar, and pour it into a
quart of water after using soap in
washing your hands, give them thor
ough washing in this mixture, being
careful to thoroughly apply it to the
affected parts, which is most always
the back part Of the hands and wrists.
In days time almost all the soreness
will have left and the hands will soon
become smooth. In order that the
cure may be permanent, this mixture
should be used every morning, especially
during cold, windy weather. Try it.

we do not care so much aboutour pedi-

LITTLE All SID.

Little All Sid
Was a Christian kid
A cute little cuss, you'd declare
With eyes full of fun
And nose that begun
Right up at the roots Of his hair.
Jolly and fat
Was this frolicsome brat,
As he played through the long summer day,
And braided his cue
As his father used to
In Chinaland, far, far away.
Once DER a lawn
That All Sid played upon
A bumble-bee few in the spring.
Mclean buttlefy y!
Said he with winkdng eye.
"Me catchee and pull on um wing"
Then with his cap
He struck it rap
This innocent bumble-bee-
And put its remains
In the seat of his jeans;
For a pocket there had the Chinee
Down on the green
Sat the little sardine
In a style that was strangely demure,
And said with grin
That was brimful of sin,
"Me mashee um buttletly sure"
Little All Sid
Was only a kid,
Nor could you expect him to guess
What kind of bug
He was holding so snug
In the folds of'his loose-fitting dress.
"Ki-ya! Ki-yip-yer'
All Sid cried, as he
Rose hurriedly up from that spot.
"Ka-yf! Yuk-a-kan!
Dam um Mclean man
Um buttlefy belly much hot!"
