a young lady about my own age. At
first she seemed to enjoy my company,
but lately she has acted rather indif-
ferent. I was told by several of my
friends thai her conduct was due to
jealousy OF the part of one of my boy
friends. L offered to explain, but ex-
PLANTATION was useless. I am sure I
was not at fault. l have since started
to keep company with another girl.
Please advise me as to whether I have
done right. J. A. G.

To Cure Swollen Feet.
Dear Madame Alta:
Please tell me how to keep my
ankles from swelling. Does walking
reduce the muscles of the limbs and
ankles or enlarge them? Is alum used
for taking down swelling? Oblige,
r. B..
When the feet swell there is usually
reason TO believe that there is some or
ganic disease that should be attended to.
One of the symptoms Of kidney trouble
or dropsy is swelling of the feet. Walk
ing does not reduce the muscles. 1t will
develope the muscles and strengthen
them. but it will reduce superfiuous
flesh. An alum bath is soothing to the
feet when they are tired and swollen
but 1t will not reduce the swelling.
Massage with alcohol is much better
for that purpose.
