SWEET OIL FOR THE TOILET

Did you ever suffer torment from a
shoe tight in one spot? Here is IA rem
edy for It.: Apply sweet oil to the
stocking where the rub comes. 1t Is
better than applying it to the boot,
because it snftens the inside OF the
boot, where it Is needed, instead Of
the outside. Sweet oil Is IN excellent
household companion. 1t'heals burns
and bruises. Used In the form OF baths
it feeds the skin, prevents colds and
gives flcxibility to the muscles. Deli
cate people derive the greatest benefit
from being rubbed with olive oil, and
for fragile children IL is invaluable,
especially where there Is any tendency
to weakness Of the chest. A soft corn
can be cured by placing a tuft Of cot
ton wool. saturated with olive oil, be
tween tile toes and renewing II every
day. The corn will very soon disap
pear. When the hair is dry and brit
tie and easily breaksoff when brushed,
a little olive oil well rubbed into the
soap every night will give nutrinent
to the hair glands and strengthen ana
increase the growth.
