Removing callous Spots.

Callous spots are most frequently
found on the soles of the feet. They
are due to pressure and friction and
often are decidedly painful and an
noying. AS much OF them as is pos
sible should be rubbed away In the
daily bath and what remains can Of
ten be removed without any pain
whatever by rubbing the spot with a
piece of toilet pumice while the cal
lous is in softened condition from
the bath.
Another method Of removing cal
lous is to bind the spot up over night
with cloth saturated with crude
petroleum. after the spot has been
bathed and rubbed and scraped. This
will often soften the callous. Strap
ping the foot with an adhesive plas-
ter will often bring relief The plas-
ter should be smoothly put on. The
spot under the plaster will perspire
freely and this will cause the spot to
entirely disappear.

A School for Wives.

The familiar answer to the ques-
tion how husbands may be Kept hap
py and good-natured Is: Feed the
brute" But " is not wholly salts
factory answer. and It's origin, we
believe, is literary rather than prac-
tical. There is feeding and feeding.
How about the quality Of the food
and the cost? In millions of homes
economy in the kitchen is a very i'm
portant consideration, and as for the
art of preparing palatable and appe-
tizing dishes and serving them taste
fully 1t Is notoriously rare.
The idea, then, of starting cook
ing and housekeeping school for
wives, mothers and sweethearts Is an
excellent one. Even husbands who
object TO clubs and other outside ac-
tivities will be glad to see their wives
enroll themselves as pupils of the
new vacation school
In some cities certain small neigh
borhood centers are attempting the
teaching of housekeeping to the wo-
men of tho poor and alien. Some of
the larger social settlements have
classes in cooking for women and
girls of all ages. But. of course,
there is plenty of room for more and
better organized cooking schools, and
the demand for them is bound to
grow as their utility gains recogni-
tion. Domestic and marital peace
and harmony depend on the kitchen
and the dining-room table much more
than some dreamy idealists are will
Ing to admit. Technical schools and
hospitals are devOting more and
more attention to dietetics. and some
physicians assert that in few years
housekeeping will be revolutionized
as the result OF the growth OF this
science and art. 1t is good thing
to help along the revolution" to
extend It's blessings to the homes of
the poorer elements of the popula-
tion.-rChicago RecordHerald.

Alr, Water and Eoon.

The three prime essentials in a
nursery are fresh air, good food and
pure water. An infants thirst is not
quenched by milk; It needs pure,
clean water to drink. Plain boiled
water between meals often will aid
digestion and satisfy a child that is
restless II the child is wakeful and
restless during the night glass of
water often will prove refreshing and
quieting.
Fresh air Is necessary in the nur-
sery for the health and well being
Of the child. II the room is small and
is arranged so that lowering one of
the windows little at the top will
create draft. the windows must be
kept shut, but the air of the room
must be changed twice day
While the child Is out for the morn
ing airing the windows should he
opened wide and the fresh air allow
ed to enter. Then late in the after
noon the room should be aired while
the child is taken to some other
room. At night the window should
be lowered an inch or SO, for unless
the draft blows directly on the child
no harm will result. II is well TO
form this excellent and beautiful
habit while the child il stlll young,
for the health is greatly benefited by

The result OF Saturdays primary
election as far as lt Is accurately
known in regard to the state officers,
is given in the foregoing lists.
Never since political returns were
carried by messengers on foot, by OK
teams and canal boats have definite
figures been so greatly delayed on any
Illinois voting as In the primaries
held Saturday.
Twenty-four hours after the polls
closed It was impossible to give ac-
curate returns on the vote for sena.
torial Endorsement. or the guberna-
torial nomination on the Republican
ticket. The vote was so close and the
returns so scanty that accurate state
ments in relation to these two con-
tests are impossible.
Returns on the Democratic ticket
were even more slow than those on
the Republican candidates. They,
however. seemed to run in one direc.
tion so that an estimate of the result
was possible.
