exhorted to be of good cheer and to
count up their mercies." Pauis
words are not only hortatory. but
also mandatory. 1t is the duty or
the Christian, amid all vicissitudes,
to be thankful. A believer is never
justified in forgetting Gods benefits
to him He is expected to figure out
every now and then the sum OF the
divine favors that have been shown
to him, or what might be called the
statistics of salvation. 1t is true that
divine mercies have been innumer-
able, and cannot be tabulated with
anything like completeness; yet the
Christian believer is exhorted TO
dwell upon these mercies in thought
and to render vivid to his mind, by
frequent reflection, so many OF the
visitations of divine favor as he can
discern providentially unfolded in
his past life.
There is, then, a duty of thanks
giving. Praise is the expected thing,
gratitude Is demanded. God is dis
appointed, and even angered, when
men receive his gifts without return
ing thanks. The Lord Is gracious,
but that Is no reason why the chill
dren of men should be ungraciously
thankless. Thanksgiving is a part
of the code Of duty OF a Christian, il
is an integral portion of the deca-
logue Of moral action. 1t is not a
kind of extra service, or superfuous
activity added on to the body of duty
otherwise complete, but is OF the
warp and wool of the Christians OBJ
legation. BE thankful" was not the
idle, chance remark of sentimental
apostle, but is the New Testament in
depreciation OF the Old Testament
burden OF blessing.
But II thankfulness is a duty, ii is
none the less on that account a grace
II II is not optional, it may certainly
be ornamental. The fact that a
thing or trait is demanded by the
fee Of that thing or the exhibition
Of that trait any the less noble or
lovely. The grace of gratitude in
particular is a peculiarly lovely vir-
tue. There Is even. we may say, an
aesthetic quality to thankfulness.
Praise is comedy for the upright"
said the Psalmist, who was an au-
thority on the beauty of holiness.
Even the world appreciates the aes.

HOW TO CURE A SOFT CORN.
Nitric Acid if Used With Care Is
Usually Effective.

A painful thickening of the skin
sometimes occurs on one of the sew
eral surfaces Of the interdigital regions
of the toes. This is ordinarily known
as the soft corn.
The development Of the lesion ex-
plains the resistance which it offers to
topical medicaments. In fact. the cpl
2ermiS. being in an irritated condition
all round the small tumor, gradually
encircles it with enlarged horny layers
until it is completely covered. The
first thing to be done. therefore, is to
remove this circular epithelial barrier.
For this purpose the parts must be
carefully washed with soap and wa
ter and then with alcohol. This suf-
fees 10 render visible a little hollow
covering on the top Of the conical
thickening. forming a kind of hood
over the tumor. 1t may be gently re-
moved by means of the point Of fine
scissors without drawing blood. In
this way the small corn, the source of
all the trouble, is laid bare.
ALI that is now required is to place
a drop of nitric acid On the tumor by
means of a small wooden rod and to
leave it to penetrate the corn. The
natural moisture of the parts favors
the infltration Of the acid.
After a few minutes the tumor is
carefully washed with diluted water,
which quickly soothes the smarting
resulting from the chemical cauteriZa
ton. A moist dressing Of aseptic cot
ton wool is then placed over 1t. This
should be removed the same evening.
On the following days the part should
be washed with soap and water and
small roll Of cotton applied. Toward
the third or fourth day the brownish
crust caused by the cauterization is cut
out with fine scissors, and then small
wound is laid bare. This is soon heal
ed when dressed with boiled water
In case the first operation has not
been sufficient. fact which may be
easily determined by touching the
parts to find whether there is still any
painful hardening, a new cauteriZation
by nitric acid is practiced, followed by
a similar series of dressings.

HOW TO CHOOSE A FREEZER.
Good Materials May Be Spoiled by a
Poor Machine.

Good Materials May Be Spoiled by a
Poor Machine.
The quality of ice cream is due not
only to the materials employed in it's
making. but also to the kind of freezer
that is used. The good freezer makes
cream of smooth, velvety texture,
seemingly richer in character than
that coming from Il poorer device.
The poor freezer actually produces a
cream of SnOwlike texture, seemingly
made without cream. and if one did
not know the truth one would say it
had been both caTeiessly made and
frozen.
The best freeZers are those having
wooden pals and we'll made metal
cylinders. The pails are usually made
of pine slaves, held in place by weld
ed hoops In few years we will
probably have fiber pals. which will
be lighter and probably more effective
The cylinder should be large in pro-
portion TO the size of the pail in order
to facilitate the process Of freezing
as well as to be saving of the ice and
salt mixture. Time. labor and ma-
terial are saved in the using of q
freezer which is built in this way. and
this is one OF the most important
things to look for in selecting a frecz-
er. There should be no hole for es-
cape Of water. even with pug in it.
in the pail near the bottom. But one
hole should be bored in the pail and
that near the top, and no plug should
be placed in it.
Two quarts of cream should be well
frozen in from FIVE to seven minutes
and with ease in turning the dasher.
Most good freezers are now fitted with
large 6ywheels. turned by a small
handle. which can be used in place Of
the old crank handle.-Good House
keeping.

South Hadley. Mass, May 1.-TWO
plays and pageant given under the
auspices of the Dramatic Club made to-
days May Day festivities at Mount Hol-

Headaches and Their Treatment.

In treating headache, there is one
safe rule to follow:-Never use any
medicine containing acetanilid or similar
coai-tar derivatives without the advice
of your physician. They may give
temporary relief, but they almost never
reach the cause of the trouble and are
likely to weaken the heart. The most
common form of headache, frequently
called sick headache, arising from a
disordered stomach, may be avoided
by care in the choice of food. Shun
pastry, candy and rich food, take time
to eat, chew your food thoroughly and
keep your bowels in good condition by
using one-haif to one teaspoonful of
L. T. Atwood's Medicine after each
meal. This old reliable remedy has
been perfect blessing TO thousands
for sixty years. Get a bottle today,
and prove it for yourself Any dealer
has it for thirty-fve cents, or we mail
