How to Soothe Tired Feet.

People who must stand at their work
all day should wear very comfortable
shoes with broad soles, well fitting
arches and proper heels. This is the
only possible way Of being comfort
able under the circumstances. 1t is
well also to wear high shoes. buttoned
or laced closely around the ankles,
which are apt TO swell from the long
strain Of standing. The feet should
be given a hot bath every night as
well as a morning bath, when they
should be scrubbed with stiff brush
A soothing bath for tired feet is warm
water with a little baking soda or
borax dissolved in it, a vigorous rub
with alcohol is also good. Another
soothing application is to rub the feet
with a piece Of lemon.

keeping silver clean. 1t is great help
to every one who has tried 1t:
Make a strong alum water and skim
off all the particles that will not dis

white soap. Let them dissolve and
bottle it. After the silver has been
cleaned with whitening or any other
soap or liquid that comes for that pur-
pose rub each piece with clean bit
of cheesecloth soaked with this alum
water 1t adds luster and keeps the
silver clean FOR quite some time. If it
is found that any silver spoon or cup
has been stained by medicine or egg,
dip a cloth in sulphuric acid, rub the
stained part until it disappears, then
