Cork Bath Mats Are Best
for Preventing Cold Feet

-T He heat of the body is It's life,
and whatever we do TO keep In
- that heat helps us to keep life
full and glowing. Standing on cold
floors is most harmful, because a
cold floor conducts away the heat
from the body. II is like putting
in tap TO draw away part of ones
life.
A metal floor, a stone floor, a
wooden floor and a cork floor may
be exposed to the same freezing
temperature, yet they will sem en-
tirely different to step on. The metal
floor would be so ,erribly cold that
to step on II with bare feet would
give frostblte. A stone floor would
DO cold enough 20 give an actual
chill. A wooden floor would be quite
bearable, but q cork floor would be
really warm.
II is not the degree OF cold which
determines the chilliness Of the floor.
he difference lies In the ease with
which these various materials con-
duct heat.
In the same way q metal spoon,
IL left in a pot of hot liquid, will get
30 hot in the handle that you can
not touch 1t, but a wooden spoon
will remain cool enough to use con-
veniently. It is all matter of con-
veying the heat through the mole
cules of the metal or the wood.
When one takes a bath, whether
: hot or cold, 1t is unpleasant to step
out on the tiled floor, because II
feels cold and takes away the ma
tural heat from the foot. Even a con-
crete floor is not so bad as stone
or thing.
After a hot bath, 1t Is bad for the
: constitution to step from the heated
water on to a cold floor, because

Frau weesper being by this time
frantic, Elsa stepped into the
breach with suggestion. Why
not let her run with the key to

The idea was approved. and Elsa,

A FRIEND Of mine complains

She asks how this can be corrected.
l advise no local application in such
cases. The puffiness indicates a con-
dition that demands the service of q
physician.
Many women are in doubt about
the quantity OF iron that may be
safely injected into the system when
the stomach revolts at any further
doses of iron. ! take iron in that
manner under a physicians direction.
No one should undertake 1t other
wise. Such injections are given
when the stomach is weakened or
delicate. A physician must determine
