Oats and the minor tereals all

1t is all a story of extraordi-

I got to where I would rather have been dead than alive.
 I tried many remedies, but they failed to help me.
 Finally. I purchased two bottles of Cardui, the woman's tonic, and began taking it according to directions. Cardui helped me right away. be- lieve it saved my life.
 I cannot praise Cardui enough to my lady friends. It is certainly the medicine for suffering women and girls"
 If you have any of the ailments so common to women. or if you feel the need of good, strengthening tonic, we urge you to give Cardui trial. It has helped thousands of women in its past 50 years of success, as is proven by the numerous enthusiastic letters of gratitude, similar to the above which come to us every day.
 Don't delay. This letter from Mrs Booth should convince you that Cardu your druggist today. You'll never re. gret it.

How to Make PercOIator Coffea

Please answer through the Corner how to make good percolated coffee. Just how much to use and how long to boil. Also, should the coffee be ground medium? I hope I am not asking too much. MRS. A."
 Percolator coffee, otherwise French coffee" otherwise (again) called "drip cof- fee,' should never boil at all let me say at the outset. It takes off the freshness and imparts taste peculiarly unpleasant to one who knows what really good coffee is. Buy fine quality of coffee. I prefer a mixture in equal parts of Mocha and Java. If you cannot roast it at home, get it freshly roasted in the grain and keep it in a canister with a tight cover Grind as you want to use it. Allow cup of freshly ground coffee to a scant quart of water poured from the boiling kettle Put the coffee into the straner and add water from the kettle by de- grees until it is all in. Pour off into a heated pitcher and return this to the strainer. Repeat the process until you get the required strength and pour into heated cups Always measure the water and the coffee and obey each step of the pro- cess.

Care of the Feet

Sometime ago you advised equal parts of talcum and baking soda to be sprinllled in shoes when feet persp1re, so that shoes would not have a disagreeabe odor. | found this good: Equal parts of baking seda and talcum mixed together and used to dust under the arms for profuse per spiration. l wash out the feet of stock ings daily and have a box to hold the powder in for convenience. Dust the soles of the stockings before putting on the shoes. As the Corner has helped me with useful hints l believe in giving items that nave helped me, as others may not know or them. For slippery weather try gluing or firmly cementing pieces of thick black cloth or felt to soles and heels of rub bers or shoes. These may be replaced as they wear off. The scriptures advise one to go shod with the gospel of peace for protection. This is good. For cold feet at night, wear a pair of dry, clean stockings. In severe cold weather when one has to be out of doors for some time, gently rub the ears and face to get up a good circulation, just before going out. Deep breathing and blowing seem to cause a good circulation and to prevent chills. To get immediate relief and to cause callosities and corns to dis appear, try sewing small piece of soft cloth Chick enough) on the soles of the stockings, and in cases of corns try sew ing a small piece of cloth under the corn not over it. This prevents friction or pressure on the corn. Under this treat ment the trouble will soon disappear All this from one who appreciates the spirit of helpfulness of your Corner"
 We will gladly make room for the fore going from a practical housekeeper who knows how to impart in clear terms to other housewives what she has learned for herself. We reciprocate in fullest measure her estimate of the helpfulness of the Corner, since it is women of her type who make it what it is.
