l ango Foot Said
 to Be New Disease

Tango foot is the very newes; disease, says an Outside paper. i, is becoming prevalent wherever the new dances are in vogue, and physi clans in all the large cities report q steadily increasing number of cases
 The trouble is all due to the i'm mense strain put upon the muscles and tendons by the latter-day dances especially the tango and the maxixe and to some extent the complicated figures of the hesitation waltz. As everybody who has attempted the new dances knows they call for great fleXibility of the ankle. Over indul sence in dancing can easily set up the inflammation which doctors now identify as tango foot
 The first symptom is usually dull pain on the front of the leg just above the ankle. During the next few days the pain becomes more marked and there is considerable stiffness when the foot is. bent Go. ing up and down stairs Is painful especially the latter The flesh of the affected region is sensitive to the slightest pressure
 Simple cessation from dancing and limited amount of walking is all that is usually necessary to effect cure. Putting the foot in a plas- ter cast or binding 1t with an ad. hesive plaster does more harm than good. for the pressure irritates and causes needless stiffness. Massage with alcohol or a simple soap lini- ment is recommended, and good re- suits are often obtained by applying a mixture, consisting of one part of aconite, one part of belladonna tinc- ture and two parts of iodine

FOR A WARM BED.

There are lots of people who say they can't sleep with their windows open wide at night because, no mat ter how many blankets are on the bed, they become chilled from the air during the night.
 This is very simply and easily re- medied. The chilling comes from beneath the bed.
 Try spreading a woolen blanket underneath the bottom sheet. The blanket beneath will keep the bOdy's heat from escaping downward, as the blankets on top keep it from escaping above. You will be surpris ed to see how snug and warm the bed becomes.

 The fear of the unexpected ap- pearanCe of the mistress will often have more effect in forming correct habits in connection with dishwash- ing than all the talks and examples in the world. Many girls who have no computations in not observing the request of the mistress of the house. do not like to be caught in the act of disobedience If these visits are frequent, the habit will become well established and will not be easily broken
 While it is great mistake to make maid feel that she needs as much watching as a criminal in many ways. the only way to get her to wash the dishes correctly is to watch her continuously
 Another cause of clipped china is the kitchen tap. When one is lift ing a china article from the dispan 10 the dripping pan. there is danger of exposing it by sriking it against the tap.

Soul Cure for Love
 and Drink Habit

PARIS. - How to cure love, the drink habit and other vices" by suggestion is the discovery of Dr.. Berillon, who asserts that psycho- therapia (soul cure) is the medicine of the future. He does not put his patients into hypnotic trance. but places them in an environment which creates the appetite for sleep and invites them to repose on a bed and think of nothing. Then he leaves them. They gradually succumb to the "tick-tack" of the metronome.
 When the patient is in an hypno- tic slumber if it is desired that he should be cured of excessive indul- gence in alcohol, the psychotherapist suggests to him that he cannot raise glass of absinthe to his lips and repeats the suggestion until the pro hibition is SO engraved on his brain that if he would he could not do so.
