brink of one OF those fits of depression

Treatment of
COrnS and BuniOnS

TT is a strange and much to be de-
plored fact that but few women pay
sufficient attention to the care Of their
feet Many who are most particular
about the proper manicuring of their
finger nails fail to realize that pedi-
cure is of as great Importance in their
daily toilet as manicure and that the
Irritation and discomfort caused by
corns, bunions and ingrowing toenails
are detrimental both to their health
and general nervous system To treat
a hard corn successfully a sharp knife
should be used to pare away all the
hard skin, commencing at the outer
edge and working toward the center.
No rough edges should be left. To
prevent this an emery board may be
gently passed over the surface, but
great care must be taken while using
the knife that 1t does not cut the skin
and draw blood. When the surface is
perfectly smooth rub a little vase1ine
upon it and cover with a pad of
chamois leather cut in a round with a
tiny hole in the center to fit the corn.
Continue this treatment every other
day until cured. To remove a soft
corn soak the feet in warm water and
after drying thoroughly rub a mixture
of equal parts of oxide of zinc and
vaseline upon the corn, then place a
pad of cotton wool between the toes.
This should be done for two or three
days. The portions of hardened cuticle
which cannot be cut away may be re-
moved with a pair of tweezers. After
removing the corn paint with a mixture
of belladonna and iodine in equal parts
(about one dram each will be suffi-
cient).

apply a soothing poultice before COM

ORIENTAL RUGS.

A woman who is the possessor of
beautiful oriental rugs says she never
allows them to be beaten or shaken.
Instead they are brushed with a soft
brush, wiped with a damp cloth and
laid in the shade to air. If the rugs
have a light delicate background she
cleans them by sprinkling them withsa
powder made of six parts Of corn
starch and one part of whiting. This
remains on the carpet for several hours
and is brushed off lightly with a whisl<-
broom and then with a very soft brush.

WHEN my sewing machine gets
cranky said a woman who
makes many of her clothes, 'I hurnor

turn my attention to hand sewing, for
a cranky machine stays cranky some
times for a day or so. After folding
up and putting away all have ready
for stitching I give the machine a
thorough cleaning inside and out; then
oil it, loosen the tension, take off the
belt and shut 1t up to get over the
sulks- When you think it over 1t is
only a matter of justice and gratitude
that machine should be humored oc-
casionally and given a rest and an oil
bath and left to enjoy the peace of dis
use for day or two. When oiling
machine I run it quite fast between
the doses, SO that the oil will be work
ed into the joints, so to speak and the

spreading newspapers on the floor all
round the stand to catch the drip.
With machine oil I always mix little
kerosene. That keeps the other oil
from clogging."

The affairs mentioned have created
some slight stir in the world, but this
