SUMMER OUTING HATS.
ABOUT FOOTGEAR.
II Should Be of Good Quality and Well
Fitting.


Fitting.
In buying hosiery the sensible wo-
man gets it half size larger than her
foot. When wearing her stockings she
has the toes pulled well forward to al
low plenty Of room when the shoes
are on and her foot pushes forward
She takes care. however, that the hos
iery is so adjusted that it does not
wrinkle under the soles.
The feet should be bathed daily and
busted with talcum or some special
foot powder. and a pair of stockings
should never be worn longer than a
single day.
1t is an important matter for the
health as well as appearance that the
heels OF shoes should he kept straight.
When the slightest edge is worn at the
side u new layer should he put on.
The feet should always be kept
properly warm. So the woman who
wishes to look well shod should avoid
light, snowy footgear and don high,
well soled shoes of stout leather for
her tramps. These, If treated with an
oil which comes for that purpose, may
be made waterproof, though this de
stroys the gloss and is objected TO by
! many women on that account. APP
piled TO the soles. ii prevents them
from soaking up water from the pave
ment. Melted mutton tallow put on
when hot and in its liquid state will
also waterproof the soes OF shoes.
Linseed oil or ordinary vaseline serves
the purpose. though not so well as the
former.
When not In use shoes should be
kept In a bag or box, where the wealth
er will not affect them. Cold seems
to have disastrous effect on patent
leather Rubber overshoes should new
er be left in u cold room. II there Is
any latent dampness in the lining of
rubber shoes the gum will crack.
Light trees should be provided for all
shoes if possible. If these are not
available the shoes should be stuffed
with paper when put away. This
serves to preserve the shape
Every four weeks II il a good plan
to clean off black aud tan shoes with
harness soap Scrub them off as you
would harness. This will remove the
dust. grease and caked backing and
make the shoes last longer. Shoes
treated in this way will then take OH
better polish
Neat. fresh shoe laces should be pro.
vided. and the buttons should be sew
ed on firmly. When one comes Off
sew it on ut once. The adjustment of
the buttons should be carefully con
sidered, for a shoe whose buttons are
not properly placed will never look
nice and may weaken or strain the
ankle. according To whether 1t is too
loose or too tight.

GOOD TO KNOW.
How Thoroughly and Easily to Clean
Piano Case.

Use bottle OF olive oil, bottle OF
alcohol, some new or perfectly clean
canton flannel, a perfectly clean
channels leather and basin Of water
Wet small piece of the flannel and
drop on it few drops Of oil. Rub with
the wet flannel small section of the
case at time and Immediately rub 1t
thoroughly with dry piece of the fan
mel before proceeding to fresh Sec
ton
Polish finally with the chamois or
piece of the flannel. Rub with the
grain of the wood and breathe on it &C.
casionally to help remove any oiliness
that may remain. A very little Hour
rubbed with the grain of the wood will
also help to remove oiliness, but its
use should not be necessary. Wash the
piano keys with corner of the fan
mel wet with alcohol. BE careful, how
ever. to avoid touching the wood with
the alcohol. as ii will ruin the varnish.

DO YOU ENJOY EATING
Or Does Everything You Eat
Distress You?

Experts declare that the reason
stomach disorders are so common in
this country is due to hasty and
careless habits of eating. Stomach
troubles and rundown conditions also
usually go together.
John Lind, of Oneonta, n. Y, says:
Il have been troubled with a bad
stomach trouble for fifteen years, and
became so weak that l could hardly
walk or do any work. My appetite
was very poor, and it seemed impos-
sible to get any relief. Since taking
two bottles of Vinol ! find that it has
already made a remarkable improve
ment in my health; my digestion is
much stronger, and have gained in
weight"
Vinol makes weak stomachs strong
because it strengthens and tones up
the weakened tired and overtaxed
nerves of the digestive organs. Vinol
is easily assimilated by the weakest
stomachs, and is delicious to the taste.
Try a bottle of Vinol with the
understanding that your money will
be returned if 1t does not help you.
p. S. If you have Eczema try our
Saxo Salve. We guarantee it,
