MAKING THIN ARMS
ROUND AND SHAPELY
Essential Treatment Is the Bandaging of Them at
Night and Hot Water Applications.

When pretty arms are so beautiful 1t
seems a pity that more girls do not pos
sess them. for it is possible to cultivate
them without much work.
The treatment essential to the improve
ment of the arms is bandaging them at
night This process takes only few min
utes, and the results after time will be
most gratifying. 1t is best done by soak
ing some soft old linen in either sweet
almond or olive oil. 1t is well to have
the wrappings about four inches wide.
These are placed firmly about the arms.
but not so tight as to stop circulation.
1t is important to put thin oiled silk over
these wrappings to prevent grease from
rubbing or A person who does not wish
to go into this treatment will get results
by rubbing the arms with oil.
Whether they are merely masSaged or
wrapped the preliminary Is the same. The
skin from wrist to shoulder, should be
mopped with warm, but not hot, water,
the operation taking at least ten min
utes The object is not only to cleanse,
but to soften the skin and open the pores,
so the surface will be in condition to abb
sorb the massage oil.
In applying the unguent the motion
should be circulation and rather gentle.
These movements must not be made until
the arm is entirely dry. If any water re-
mains on, the grease will not be alb
sorbed.
Beginning at the wrist, the arm is
clasped by the other hand that has pre-
viously been covered with OIL This lotion
is then rubbed slowly round and round
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1908-12-07

all the time, So that every part of the
surface is massaged. It will be necessary
to put on more oil occasionally. there be-
ing no danger of applying too much.
After this operation has been continued
for five minutes the skin may be wiped
with dry and very soft cloth, and then
the entire surface should be patted with
cold water. This makes the skin firm and
hard. closing the pores, that should be
full of oil.
If exercises are to be taken it is better
that they should be gone through with
before Oiling.
Some persons are. of the opinion that ii
is necessary to hold a weight in the
hands during any acknowledgment treat
ment. l do not agree with this. although
l think II desirable, simply because clasp
ing an object is likely to bring the mus
cles into play. But an old door handle.
a stick, etc, will answer the same pur-
pose.
If any of these is held tightly the mus
Gle in the under side of the lower arm
will make itself felt The same effect
would be gained were the hands tightly
closed. Clasping and unclasping the fin
gers in the manner suggested will use and
develop this muscle until the whole lower
arm. after weeks Of practice, will begin
to be shapely and round.
For the upper arm lifting any object
that is heavy enough to make the motion
required will accomplish beneficial re-
suits. For this the strain or pull should
not be made from the shoulders. but from
the arm, and 1t may be repeated as many
times as one has patience.
This treatment. If persisted in faithfully
for six or eight weeks. will make thin
arms develop shapeliness.

TREATMENT FOR FEET
IN VERY COLD WEATHER

There would be fewer aching feet If the
flesh were carefully dried after washing,
for failure to rub off old skin causes an
accumulate between the toes that may
lead to endless soft cornS, and often re-
suits in calluSes on heels or over joints
that quickly develop into painful swell
ings.
Bathing the feet properly is an art that
all persons should learn. 1t is not diff
cult, but requires time, hot water, a
blond soap, brush. and thin wash cloth.
In addition to these cold cream and a
piece of pumice are sometimes needed.
This treatment should begin by soaking
that is hot but not sufficiently so to be
painful. If there are callosities powdered
borax should be put into this bath to
soften the water. OF the former a tea
spoonful to a half gallon of liquid should
be used.
After keeping the feet in water until the
skin is soft ned stiff but not hard brush
|, over the ankles. insteps. heels and soles.
the object being not only to cleanse, but
to remove any dead skin. Particular at
tention should be given to the base Of the
nails, and. indeed. the sides we'll. for
accumulation of skin in these spots some
| times leads to suffering.
When the bath is finished the thin cloth
is soaped, and the cracks between the toes
are thoroughly scrubbed. This is neces-
sary because the brush cannot reach them,
and it is only by cleansing the crevices
| that the toes are kept in healthy condi-
ton.
For drying. Turkish towels are good.
The heavy kind is first used. rubbing the
insteps, ankles and heels, not only to dry.
but to remove any skin that may remain
after the scrubbing. 1t must be remem-
bered that any moisture left on the sur
face will tend to rub into q sore. should
there be friction.
AS the thick towel will not go between
the toes. it is essential to use a thin one.
and bit of this must be wrapped around
one finger, then rubbed around between
the toes until no dampness remains. Only
in this way can soft cOrns be avoided.
If there is the slightest tendency to them.
in spite of this care, cold cream must be
put between the toes. This entirely pre-
vents rubbing and Inflammation.
Any callositfes. such as bunions. etc,
may be rubbed with the pumice while the
surface is soft from soaking. The spot
should be frictioned until much of the
hard is rubbed away. Then cold cream to
keep the top In a healthy state and a corn
plaster to give protection when the shoes
are worn should be applied.

NEVER KISS THE BABY
RIGHT ON THE LIPS

If there is one edict that common sense
lays down for young mothers 1t is not 10
allow baby to be kissed on the lips, for 1t
is almost impossible to reckon the amount,
or rather the chance, of contagion that
may be carried in this fashion.
For should there be the slightest infec-
ton in a persons system it will be upon
the lips, and If they are brought into con-
tact with those of an infant a condition
that, in an adult is not serious may be
transmitted to the child in a manner
which will be painful if not dangerous.
It is a Spartan edict to promulgate that
none shall kiss babe except in the man
ner laid down by the mother, but if she
can brave the wrath of the family Ii is
worth while The fact is. any older woman
will agree with her in the effort being
made and SO should do what she can to
aid it. Chances are, however. that grand
mothers and aunts will think themselves
Woefully aggrieved If they may not en-
brace baby upon all occasions, but
young mother should do what she can to
prevent the caressing.
1t must never be forgotten that young
children-and that. of course means in
fants also-are peculiarly susceptible to
any kind of contagion or Infection. An
adult may go without risk into an atmos-
pneFe tnaC WOULD De Certain ltiucSS W a
child, and 1t Is this fact that must make
q mother firm in what frequently may be
a difficult position.
1t should be distinctly understood that
this rule does not preclude the chance of
kissing q small infant. To do this would
be cruel to an adoring family: but let 1t
be realized that caresses must be on mis-
fat little neck. hands OF arms. His fore
head should be quite as satisfactory as
his lips, even to his grandmother, and
there will then be no possible chance OF
having done him harm by transmitting a
germ.
Because there are persons to whom it is
impossible to convey the Importance OF
observing this precaution for baby S
health, it is suggested that young
mother always have strong solution OF
boracic acid at hand with which to wipe
his lips after he has been kissed by In
considerable persons. This solution may
be a teaspoonful of the acid in powder 10
two gills Of water. 1t must be put into
a bottle ready for use. This is not a dis
,nfectant in one sense, but it is one OF
the best germ cleansers.
Such treatment as this should be given
after baby has eaten 1t prevents any
souring about the mouth of food, and SO
may stave of many attacks Of indiges-
ton. or worse.

JOHANNESBURG, December From
Messina comes a striking story of a
Transvaal police troopers terrible en-
counter with lioness. On his way from
Rhodes Draft to Messina, Trooper Eagle
met some transport riders. who had just
killed two young lions. A little farther
on he encountered the parents. which
were following the wagons up. The lion
ess approached and growled menacingly.
and the trooper fired, his bullet shattering
her shoulder. He at once made of for
camp intending to get assistance. as he
knew the lioness was badly hurt She,
however. headed him of. and about a
quarter of a mile farther on sprang upon
him, tearing him from his horse. His
carbine was knocked out Of mis- hard
Fortunately, he landed on his feet, the
horse clearing from under him when the
l1oness sprang. Eagle, who is powerful
fellow, closed with the brute, forcing the
fingers of his right hand into her nostrils,
and twisting the nose as far as possible.
gripping the animal round the neck with
his left arm. and kicking her in the belly
with all his might.
All the time the brute was biting ana
clawing him. just cs he thought he
must succumb. she released her grip,
possibly on account of her Wou16e1 con-
dition. but not before she had inflicted
several terrible wounds almost severinx
several fingers OF the troopers right hand
with her teeth, while there were several
huge gashes of great depth in his thighs.
The left arm was also badly lacerated.
Finding himself free, Eagle picked up
his carbine and raised it again, but found
himself pOws:. ass to use it owing to his
wounds. Just then two linen, who had
heard the shot, came up and uisDatrhed
the lioness. and a:terward conveyed the
wounded man to Messina. In this dis
tr;.t recently four lions were killed in
q single week.

BEAUTlFYlNG RIGHT OF WAY.
Phlox and Hydrangeas for Stations
Blue Grass for Right of Way.

One Of the good things for which
people have to thank the railroads is
the progress they are making in beau
tifying their right of way.
1t is the practice of the Pennsyl
vania, as Moody's Magazine points
out, to surround its passenger sta
lions with little parks with terraces
and gracefully curving paths and
roadways. To care for these station
parks is part of the duty of the main
tenance of way department, just as
it is to keep the rails and ties in
good order. Flowers and shrubbery
are planted In artistic plots and
gardeners keep them fresh and flour.

NEW RAILROADS IN AFRICA.
TWO Across Nigeria viii Start Pro-
duction of Cotton.

Several months ago an American
who has lived in Nigeria said in New
York That the climate and soil of that
large region are favorable for the cul
tivation of cotton, but as yet there Is
no encouragement to raise it because
there are no railroads to carry 1t to
the sea.
The railroad is now to be supplied
According to the American Geograph
ical society's bulletin 1t is to start
from Baro on the Niger river below
the rapids that impede navigation
Vessels loaded with cotton brought
by rail to Baro may descend the Niger
to Akassa, the port at it's mouth
where steamships may load the
freight for Europe.
The northern terminus of the rail
road will be Kano, the great and pop
ulous capital of Hausaland, some SOC
miles from Baro by rail and not far
south of the Sahara desert. Kano DO
came known some GO years ago as the
greatest manufacturing and CONNER
cial center of the western Sudan. II
Is expected that the railroad will large
ly increase its Importance.
The British government authorized
the building of the railroad in August
last.
It's gauge is to be four feet six
inches.
But Kano will be joined with the
sea not only by this railroad and the
Niger but also by through rail by
way of Jebba and Lagos, now the
largest commercial center on the At
lantic coast of the continent An agri
cultural fair in that city recently tes
tilted to the importance which farming
interests are already attaining. Many
native farmers were among the ex-
hibitors.

Railways of Gresce.

According to Consular Clerk Con
stantine NJ. Corafa, of Athens, the TO-
tai mileage Of steam railways in
Greece is S65, and their total capitali-
cation is $42,2l5,209. The railways are
not owned by the government, but
are built after its permission and con
troll through the department of public

shares in part Of the construction, aid
hence controls the passenger and
