How to Treat Weak Ankles.

It is not SO easy to see why so many
people have weak ankles. The ankles
of young children bend in when they
walk, and parents, thinking they will
outgrow this trouble, pay no attention
to it. The consequence Is that the
turning in becomes a habit which Is
not corrected in later life. Little chill
dren should have the ankles rubbed
with alcohol if they show any signs of
weakness. Young children ought to
wear shoes without heels, and the con-
dition of the shoes worn by older ones
should be watched carefully. When
the heel is worn down on one side, the
ankle naturally turns down on that
side. Carelessness in the fit Of shoes
and the wearing Of shoes that are
worn on one side will cause the ankles
to turn and the walking to be tiresome
and awkward When the ankles bend
either in or out when walking. it is a
good plan to have the heels lowered a
bit on the opposite side. In the same
way habit of turning the heels over
on one side can be counteracted by
lowering them on the other. Bend the
foot backward, forward. sideways. Ro-
tate it slowly at the ankle. Stand on
one foot, shake the other leg from the
thigh. letting the ankle of the foot be
perfectly loose, so that the foot moves
freely

curative dietary must consist princi-

How to Clean Lacquered Brass.

Remember not to apply polish to lac
quered brasses Rub them only with a
channels leather or wash them with
tepid soapsuds without any soda. After
this, dry and polish with the chamois.
Soda should never be used to wash
china, particularly when the china is
gilded. The use of soda in the water
is what has caused 80 much of the gilt
decoration to disappear from the frag-
lie gilt and white china of our grand
mothers day. Brush cut glass well to
remove dust from the indentations be-
fore washing It, and never dip either
fragile china or fine glass into too hot
water or it will crack.

Not far from Hamburg, on the island
Of Westerland, is small graveyard to
which pathetic interest attaches. Here
the bodies of those washed up by the
sea-bodies unrecognized and unclaim-

dedicated to this use in 1855, and from
then up to now over sixty nameless
ones have found their rest. In 1888 a
stone was raised bearing the dedication

The ordinary small skid on Slip
perry road may be overcome by turn
ing the steering wheels in the opposite
direction to that which the real wheels
are trying to follow and then, as the
car straightens up and starts to skid
the other way, swinging them back
again, continuing this until the ma
chine steadies itself
Except the skids which sometimes
occur in descending a steep hill on
muddy roads, those which most often
happen occur on city streets after rain
or the passage of sprinkling cart
when attempting to turn corner or
when the brakes are applied
What the results will be cannot be
foretold, says a writer in Suburban
Life. 1t is usually advisable to take a
chance in shaving close to other vehi-
cles rather than to take the risk Of
applying the brakes hard on slippery
roads
The side slip happens so quickly that
the operator scarcely knows it has
started before the car Is turned half
way around or is even headed in the
opposite direction to that In which 1t
was going. A car can be stopped
without causing it to skid by applying
the brakes quickly, releasing them and
applying them again, overcoming each
small skid with the steering wheel.
Often where the service brakes are
on the hubs it is advisable to use the
lower speed gears as brake, as the
action on the rear wheels will then be
about the same. With hub brakes one
may be set tighter than the other. ana
when these are applied the car will al

other.
The best method is to 20 straight
ahead as far as possible. gradually
slackening the speed of the car and
avoiding sharp sweryes right or left
or turning any corners Ordinarily the
car will not skid, even at high speed,
on slippery road so long as a straight
course is followed, but the moment a
turn is attempted or the brakes are
applied the trouble begins
