The hope of something better al

HOT FOOTBATHs.

There is a mode of using hot wa
ter which is an exceedingly valuable
one. 1t is the habit of taking hot
foot bath every night before going
to bed for about ten or twelve min
utes as hot as it can be borne. The
effect of this on the feet which
should be immersed over the ankles
is to fill their vessels with blood
rendered apparent by their deep
red color-and this affords relief by
Withdrawing it from the brain.
Especially after intellectual activ-
ity. also after prolonged study or
literary labor at night. the tranquil
izing effect on the nervous system
is very remarkable and quiet sleep
is promoted. Let the highest tenn
perature which can be borne be
maintained for at least ten minutes
by repeated small additions of hot
water.

THINGS THAT COUNT.
. . . . . . . . (, > . . . .

What are the things that count
with you'
Is it dress that counts most? If it
is, you viii find yourself making
many sacrifices for the sake OF pref
~ things to wear. Perhaps some OF
these sacrifices may involve your
whole future happiness. Clothes are
nice. but are they really worth
great price? The price of not mar
rying the man you love for instance,
in order to marry the one who can
give you money? Are they worth
heavier price than this, the price that
in time rules you out of all the
sane and sweet and normal joys Of
iiving9 Girls have paid that price
for them; are paying it every day.
Is love Of admiration what counts
most with you? That rushing around
with a number of men to prove
yourself popular Men who may be
cheap. who are often bad associates,
but who can flatter and excite you,
who can take you to places where
you can show off your good looks,
and who will urge you to later hours
and more dissipation than any girl
price of youth and bloom and real
friendships for that kind of admira
ton. II is big price,
Whatever the things that count
for you may be, you are sure to
pay price for them. Don't fool
yourself into thinking you get any
thing free. If they are fine and
lasting things, you will have to pay
a certain price in the tinsel and
the glare of those things that seem
perhaps more catchy and alluring.
For what is worth while you must
pay in what is not worth while, and
vice versa.
The cheap and sensational pleas
ures take their toll, and it is the
whole Of you. Make up your mind
rather carefully before you decide
what it really is that counts for you.
