FIGURE OF VENUS
AN EXTINCT TYPE

The original standard for the perfect
figure-VenIs de Mllo-was of an age
when corscts were not known
Therefore. she is represented as hav-
inf a figure perfect at every point. She
represents 10 u.s. a type that had never
rendered her muscles tender and fabby
by steels. nor had she hindered her
growth by cOnhning c0utiL She was
free and graceful like all the women OF
Greece are said 10 have been.
Her carriage was perfection, her walk
was the poetry Of motion.

In being adapted for the home,
moving pictures have entered new

cribed as only three feet long by one
foot wide and one toot deep. 1t is
provided with a ground glass at one

glass can be removed, when the

will be enlarged more OF less, accord
ing to the distance from the machine
OF this new screen. Any convenient
light-such as an aoetylene bicycle
lamp-will serve for illumination. 1t
Is expected that the apparatus will
be made in variety of styles, from
cost of dollar or two to quite
expensive outfits, and the spools
of film, lasting two or three minutes,
are to be furnished at price compar-
able to those of phonUgraph records.

How to Prevent Tender Feet.


One woman boasts of not knowing
what It is to have sore feet. and the
secret of her success is very simple.
She takes time once q week to soak
her feet for almost an hour, and In
this way she keeps them tender, but
not too much so. and she has never
known what it was to have corn,
bunion or other affliction. A small foot
tub is filed with warm water in which
there is a plentiful supply Of melted
white soap. She sits with her feet in
the water and to keep the time from
being too tedious reads n book. When
the water begins to cool she realizes
the soaking process is at an end. After
drying the feet she attends to the nails
and cuts them across. merely clipping
the nail corners. because rounded nails
will eventually penetrate the flesh, and
the torment Of ingrowing nails is most
severe. A plentiful amount of talcum
powder is used, and this insures com
fort No stockings with seams are
worn, the shoes fit snugly, and n shoe
too large is considered as injurious rs
one too tight. At the first appearance
of corn it is never tampered with.
but the spot is treated with turpentine
and ere long it disappears

There is more catarrh in this section
OF the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed TO be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease, and prescrib-
ed local remedies and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be constitutional
disease, and therefore requires consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
