WARM FOOT BATHS.
Good Old-Fashioned Remedy for
Cold and How 1t Should
- he Applied. sg&

The warm foot bath is a remedy 80
easily to be had In any household, %
quickly prepared and 50 simple to ad-
minister, that IT is a pity 1t should not
be more universally understood and
used. Its possible uses are legion. Only
a few of them can here be enumerated,
says Youths Companion on
1t is generally understood to be one
of the good d-fashioned" remedies
for a cold--especially a cold In the
head. 1t should not be allowed to be-
come old-fashioned for this purpose.
for with all our rapid multiplication of
"antis" and other new medicines, 1t
still remains one of the best modes
we have of combating a bad cold. 7. 1t
must be properly given, but this Is
very easy matter. The patient should
be well covered as to the body; the
pail or other receptacle for the water
should be deep and preferably narrow,
for the higher the water reaches up
the calves of the legs the better. A..
heaping teaspoonful Of mustard should
be added, and the feet should go into
water as hot as can be borne, fresh hot
water being slowly added as that in tho
bath cools. The whole process should
last 20 minutes to half an hour, dur
ing which glass Of hot water or
lemonade should be slowly sippeds
1t is perfectly ridiculous for the par
tient to take the feet out of the water.
dry them, and go to clearing up the
room, as is sometimes done. Five
mintues' attention from a second per-
son is absolutely needed at this juno
ture, as it is most important that the
feet should be quickly dried. and the
patient Immediately covered up very
warm, preferably with hot bottle to
the feet, in order that the profuse
perspiration, which is the principal re-
suit to be desired, should not be
hecked. II this process is faithfully
carried out, cold will generally be
found scotched the next morning.
A headache, especially that variety
known as nervous" may often be re-
lieved by warm, not necessarily -
very hot, foot bath. The footsore,
over-driven housewife can gain blessed
relief for her aching muscles and tired
nerves by ten minutes devoted to q
warm foot bath. A very cross baby
can often be converted into cherub
by the same simple treatment There
are many times and places In which u
is not convenient to give the baby
warm tub bath. and then a pint OF
warm water and q very small basin
will serve for the miracle working
foot bath.

SATISFACTORY TO oFLAHERrY
A Theatrical Rehearsal That Supplied
His Lack of Self-As-
sertiOn.

that took to the road last week left an
impression behind it that will probably
prove more lasting than any it will
make while on tour. That testimonial
as to its artistic excellence was elected
during rehearsals, relates the New York
Times. Those initial performances took
place in west side hall that is set down
in the midst Of private houses. The peo-
pie in that neighborhood were evidently
not familiar with rehearsals, and after
the actors got their parts well In hand
the occupants of the adjoining houses
turned themselves into a deadhead
audience and spent about half their time
hanging out Of windows watching the
progress Of the play. sfs
There was one man that evinced espe-
cial interest in the proceedings. His
name was O'Flaherty. Day after day
and night after night O'Flaherty ball
anced his spare frame on the window sill
and absorbed theatrical wisdom. At one
point In the performance he always
seemed particularly well pleased and
laughed heartily. - s ~
s One night Mrs. O'Flaherty. who, hav-
ing dramatic soul that had risen above
mere rehearsals, had hitherto declined
to manifest any interest In the new play,
was drawn to O'Flaherty's side by the
sound OF violent wrangling In the hall.
The action of the play had reached a
point where the O'Flahertys might have
stepped in and carried OF the scene to
perfection. They had rehearsed at least
portion OF it daily for Is years, and
were well up in their parts.
Mrs. O'Flaherty is woman whose un-
fortunate disposition makes wise men
prefer the housetops to her society, and

down the law to her partner in the
identical phrases, emphasized by the
identical gestures, employed by Mrs
