WYTHEVILLE. VA, September ID
(special)-The very warm days OF last
, week were followed by a much-needed
rain. and since Monday the weather has
been cool, with a melancholy sugges ZION
of the coming fall in the air.
No season OF the year is so utterly sat
isfying to the senses as the fall after IL
has really come. and We, there are few
people who 10 not experience a vague
sadness, an Underlined sense Of loss and
sorrow when they first realize that the
bright, poisoning summer time Is gone.
In Wytheville the sadness of the fall is
emphasized by the many partings which
the season brings. Already some OF the
young men are leaving for college. sum-
mer visitors are departing and good-bys
have taken the place OF the welcome
greetings which made glad the first OF
the summer
The past week has been none the less
gay, however.
An impromptu german was given by the
young men Monday evening. Major Dunn
allowing them the use OF his spacious
house for the occasion. The music was
furnished by the inspiring Italian string
ed band which has been sojourning in

love the moutains wreathed in mist.
The twilight skies OF amethyst
The groves OF ancient oaks, sun-kissed,
In old Virginia.
! love the gorgeous trumpet-howers,
Wild-rOSe and hOneysuckla bowers
The woodland incense after showers,
In old Virginia.
/ love the laughter OF the rils,
ClCud-shadows stretched athwart the hills,
The locund song OF him who tills
In old Virginia.
| love the martial ranks Of corn.
Their blades agleam with lights Of morn.
The curtains OF the night withdrawn,
In old Virginia.
| love the oceans deep-toned roar
surf dashed To foam on wlnd-swept shore,
The spray-born rainbow arching DER,
In old Virginia.
love the modest maidenhood.
The Difference paid 10 womanhood,
The chlvalric and gentle blood,
In old Virginia.
l love the love OF native sod.
The simple faith that trusts In God.
The heads bowed meath the Christening
rod,

CURING CORNS.
4 Pedicure Gives Some Valuable sugges-
lions Touching the Care of TIE Feet.

written for the Dispatch)
\ man who has made the human foot
an object of research and study declare.
that short stockings are very nearly as
Injurious as short shoes Hose Of insults
Gent length press the knuckles OF the
toes upward. and when the shoe forces
them down the natural result is a painful
excrescence that vulgar folk designate
as corn.
but surely you don't consider an IL
hitting stocking the cause OF bunions, DO
you: | inquired
one Of them" he replied. "Corns are
the result Of pressure. You gee, the blood
is forced from the sebaceOus glands. there-
fore an excessive or unnatural quantity
Of oil is thrown off. THIS diseases the
blood and the oil forces its way TO tbs
surface Of the toe. As 1t reaches the
cuticle It eyaporates. leaving the top
LAYER hard. Layer upon layer OF oil forms
downward and deepens until II presses
on the nerves. Corns have no roots. That
idea is fallecious. But they cannot be
cured until an instrument goes beneath
all these layers OF diseased oil and rc,
moves them. \ soft corn is more easiIy
treated and is largely the result Of acid
IN the blood.
after corn has been removed, find
out literally where the shoe pinches. then
battle the feet in cold water every morn
ing upon arising and rub the part with
prepared chalk"
My informant added that for dry feet
always use lce-cold water; for moist feet,
inclined to perspire freely the water as
hot as the skin can stand 1t, and battle
Just before retiring. II the feet swell
after much walking, put little vinegar
in the hot water; II they ache, use a few
drops OF ammonia or boraX.
Rest the feet often. To 10 this change
the shoes as frequently as possible Even
from an old to a new shoe Is a rest. The
muscles OF the foot tire in one position
no matter how easy the leather or last
may De. Four or five times a day. If II
Is convenient. Is none too often to take
this trouble, and its benefits are aston
ishing.
Ingrowing nails are the result of the
corners being cut too close. allowing the
shoe to press against them. This again
requires skilled treatment. The pedicure 5
patronage Is becoming as extensive as that
of the manicure. for. apart from the treat
ment of painful excrescences, beautifying
the foot is greatly in vogue. Preparations
10 whiten the skin are In use. and all
the art OF the manicure Is called upon
10 assist that of the pedicure. Some So
ciety women can now present as well
kept a foot as hand. the nails rounded and
polished with equal daintiness.
one other suggestion the man who
knows gave me. and that is important to
mothers. He says that babies learning TO
walk should not be allowed 10 wear the
popular paper-soled shoes. A sitter bot
tom should be supplied, for nail affections
are apt to set in from rubbing the edges
OF the toes on the floor. III. IL.
