can do to warm up my feet!
It is impossible to keep them warm
in winter They are nearly always
colo, and often feel as though they
were in ice water from the foot joint
to the sole of the foot, which is very
disagreeable .., -.
What are the requirements for be-
coming q nurse in this country, and
what is the age limit? I have several
recipes for home remedies: have as
yet not tried them-wonder if they
would be of value if sent them 10
you? Thanking you in advance for re-
ply, am, Sincerely, C.. H..
The best method of home treatment
Tor cold or clammy feet is to use the
Observation-Disclosures treatment. First
battle the feet thoroughly for half an
hour or more in hot water-as hot
as you can bear in a bucket or other
receptacle, so that it can be filed
with water to the knees; then
plunge them for q few seconds, 10 or
IS, in cold water, take them out, and
rub briskly dry, putting on warm, dry
stockings; this may be done in the
morning upon rising. think you will
find this treatment all that is neces-
sary. The cold water alone for only
10 or Is seconds every morning, and
then brisk rubbing will give the de-,
sired relief in many cases.
For full particulars in regard to re-
quirements for becoming a nurse, how
to proceed, ETC., you should write to
some good hospital, training school,
Or physician in connection with such
institution in your own city. The age
limit is usually something like 20 to
IS years. trust this will be suf1i-
cient information in reply to your
query in this direction. I would be
glad to have you send the recipes re-
ferred to, and perhaps can make use
of them in Club Notes.

Laporte, 1nd.-Dear Sir: I read your
articles pertaining to the Home Health

cessive fat. You advised her to prac-
tice the method described in pamphlet

also treat on large stomach and hips?

the subject of obesity, and believe
that you can reduce your weight to the
proper proportion by following the in
structions given therein.

before the Board of Directors OF the

morning. relative to the grade of Com
merce street. on which the companys
land is located, and the vacation of
Canal and Goodman streets, through
the property.
Mr.. SmalIey objected TO the wording
Of a resolution recently passed by the
board vacating Canal and Goodman
streets, on the ground that It had a
string attached to it that clouded the
title to the property
Director Gray said the idea is that If

pany had / 500 feet of the best river

should change its plans and not build

was prohibitive, as 1t made the closing
OF the streets contingent on the building
and operating Of the plant and ITS re-
mining on the ground, removal OF the
plant nullifying The boards action He
wanted the restrictions removed, feeling
that il clouded the title Mr.. Smalley
said the company had faith in the present
board, but it did not know what future
boards might be.
Mr. johnson said there was no reason
10 doubt that the company is acting in
good faith and he thought some OF the
restrictions should be removed by the
board
Mr. Gray said he had no disposition to
throw anything in the way of the COM
pany. but he wanted TO protect the cltys
rights.
Mr.. Smallcy said the company had
arranged to put up a large plant at a
