Where the feet are liable to become
tender or blister powdering with starch
powder is an excellent thing. Thick
wooden stockings should always be
worn when long walk is taken by
persons who suffer from these things.
Corns are troublesome things to cure.
and by far the best plan. Of curing them
is to have them properly extracted by
a pedicure or chiropodist. 1t is dan
gerous to cut them oneself. as there
is always the risk Of cutting too deep.
In mild cases. however, burning with
acetic acid often gives relief. The acid
should be applied with the point Of a
wooden match. and great care should
be taken to prevent its dropping on or
coming in contact with the skin.
Perspiring feet are very unpleasant.
In some persons, indeed. it almost
amounts to disease. One Of the sim
plest and best remedies is to battle the
feet night and morning in soda and wa

The international commercial con-

Philadelphia In connection with the
National Export exposition, discussed
at considerable length the comparative
merits and advantages Of the Mica
ragua and Panama routes for an 18th

not add materially to the vast amount
Of literature on this subject, 1t will
serve as reminder to the Fifty-sixth
congress that public sentiment de-
mands the speedy construction Of such
a waterway connecting the Atlantic
