Soft eorns are frequently caused by
carelessness in drying between the toes.
A good system of treatment is this: Wash
the feet every night in warm water and a
little tohet disinfectant. Dry between the
toes thoroughly rubbing the corn for n.
few minutes with the bowel. This will
probably be rather painful. but rubbing
the corn after It has been softened in the
water has tendency to reduce It. Then
dust it thiclly with good boracic acid
powder and place between the corn and

Mr.. John F. Heisley, all old, well
known aud much-respected resident,
di,, at his home on south Fairfax street
between nine aud ten o'clock last night.
He had been a sufferer from organic
disease for some time. The deceased
had resided in Alexandria about forty
years. Mr.. Heisley was born IN Phila,
delphia seventy-sour years ago, and
during early manhood he conducted a
public house in that city, At the
breaking out of the civil war he became
captain of a Pennsylvania regiment and
continued in the service until after the
battle of Gettysburg when he resigned
his commission and came to Alexandra
to live. About the close OF the war he
opened grocery store in a building
which formerly adjOined f. .. Lead
heater & Sons store on the south and
later removed to the northwest corner
of Prince and Fairfax streets, where he
remained up to the time Of his death.
The deceased during his long soJourn IN
Alexandria enjoyed the confidence Oh
the entire community. Correct in all
his dealings, courteous and friendly, he
was Justly esteemed by his many friends
and acouaintances. He leaves widow
IAN Alexandria LADY, and nine children
one son and eight daughters. Mr..
Hcisley was for many years communi-
cant of St. Paul's Church. He never re-
ceived a pension. and when urged to
apply for one his invariable answer was
to the effect that he was not disabled
and was paid a good salary while
serving in the army, and consequently
had no claim on the nation.
