Keeping Feet Warm.

With the first nip of autumn receive
letters. from persons who say they suffer:
agonies from cold extremities, and that
chilblaiEs appear as soon as winter
comes. / answer Wear shoes that are
large; better that they be too wide than
that they pinch, for unless the foot is
free circulation is restricted and cold is
inevitable.
For example, my own winter shoes are
half a size wider than those I wear In
summer. And the hosiery I use in winter
is a heavier quality Of cotton than l
wear in summer. and that means more
space is required in the shoe. l haven't
the slightest hesitation in giving 1t, for
the feet of woman who walks much
in winter cannot appear other than shod
for service, as far as the style Of her
shoes is concerned.
There must be room for the toes, and
one needs good, stout heels to support
the backs, as we'll as fairly heavy soles
Cinderella would not approve of this
style, but Dame Fashion is rapidly CIV
ing it her sanction, and a walk down the
avenue on a cold, clear winter morning
will show that the smartest dressed
five years ago she would have jeered
at. The change Of fashion is due to the
fact that golfing and driving ones own
motor have made the comfort OF such
foot gear appreciated, and that the
period of cramping the feet into discom-
fort has passed. In the house a woman
may wear the daintiest shoes and slip
pers, but indoors there is no exercising,
and the pedal muscles do not require
especial freedom.
When cold extremities are chronic the
condition may sometimes be changed by
rubbing them thoroughly before going
out of doors. To give this warming
treatment remove the stockings and put
on few drops of spirits of turpentine.
which then frictions the foot, sole, toes
and heel. Rubbing must be brisk
enough to create a feeling Of warmth.
The inner part Of shoes may be slightly
warmed before they are put on. II a
woman will wear a thin felt inner sole
much comfort will be secured from it.
Lisle-thread stockings should not be
worn in winter, for they are conducive to
cold because they are so hard and tightly
twisted. good thick quality Of cotton
is usually enough, but when it is not
cashmere should be worn.

CA TIA II RH[
A SYSTEMIC Blood Disease


Catarrh is not merely an affection
of the mucous membranes; it is a
deep-seated blood disease in which
the entire circulation and greater part
of the system are involved. 1t is more
commonly manifested in the head,
nose and throat, because of the sensi-
tive nature of these membranes, and
also because they are more easily
reached by irritating influences from
the outside The symptoms of Ca
tarrh, such as a tight feeling in the
head, nose stopped up, throat clogged
and dry, hacking cough, etc, show
that the tiny blood vessels of the mu-
cous membranes are badly congested
and inhamed from the impurities in
the circulation. To cure Catarrh per-
manentIy the blood must be purified
and the system cleansed of all I'M
healthy matter. Nothing equals
S. S. S. for this purpose. 1t attacks
