Wear Tight Shoes, Have Cold Feet

which shrinkS the artcriolrS Of tn' distant and less accessible portions of the sk5n. fatigue and 'th~' tired feeling" cngendered by colds. seri- ous illness. anaemia and physical disturbances of all sorts may all have cold feet as symptomatC skeleton in the sorry-sighted closet.
 If. then. your would lift the yoke of cold feet from your narrowed ankles, each particular cause-for there is usually more than one must be uprooted. The very shoes must be enlarged and the toes given l. -!y ( ~er to voluntary movements Moreover, each toe must be rubbed, exercised, and put through such gyrations that each little joint will have a movement of it's own.
 cheap Faradic electric battery applied for five minutes at any time the cold feet assert their unwel- come presence, vigorous massage of the ankle, instep. sole and toes with sesame oil or goose grease. gymua- sum exercises, toe dancing and other pedal activities, such as rid ing bicycle, walking in loose shoes, running CT climbing, all tend to improve the ebb and flow of the stream of life to the feet.
 The fashion of wearing legsingS, spatS. shoe covers and other arti ficial heat generators will not pre- vent nor do away with cold feet These modes tend rather to invite the disorder for they hold the blood sluggishly in the feet. In lieu of d free movement of the serum with it's fresh supply of heat to the parts the skin becomes flabby and re tains the larger portion of that which was present The cold air which surrounds this soon chills the stagnant fluid, and price paid is the annoyance called cold feet"
 In bed at night the ho.nely method of placing hot brick swathed in as a hot water bag, hot bottle, or hot swaddling blanket are all happy eXpedients as far as tempo rary relief is concerned. Manipula ton and Swedish movements. bath room gymnastics and hot mustard footbaths are more troublesome, but more enduring in their cure-Dr L. R. Hirshberg in Denver News.

lines the material will begin to show at once, and half a dozen washings will find the linen frayed righ, through at these spots On the other hand. if the napkins, for in stance, are creased. first in four folds, and thCn down into a square, the next time in three folds, the next time in triangular folds and then back to the first method, the wear and tear will he even on all parts of the napkins.
 Long Life Assured.
 The creasing should be made with the heat adds to the wear on the folds. The tablecloths should be treated in the same way.
 Much of the linens life is lost or saved in the laundry; much de pends on the washerwoman for it's preservation-but once the frayin 2 has commenced it's lifes duration depends entirely on the mistress of the house. If she is an excellent needlewoman the linen may last a year or more after the first frayed edge appears If she is a poor and lazy needlewoman it probably will not last more than a month
 The mending should not be post poned until the first hole appears, for 1t is much more difficult to mend hole than it is to mend a frayed spot After every laundering each piece of linen should be held to the light and the thin places should be strengthened with thin linen thread If this process is carefully followed the holes will be long, long time in coming, because they have been forestalled.
 Linen treated in this way may last indefinitely. It has no chance to wear out if it's fibre is bolstereG up by mending whenever it becomes thin, The bride can keep her pretty linen as long as she likes if she will only watch it's laundering ara mending with a careful eye.

 Care of Cast Off Clothing.

Place BIldllo" uohtS III lllt lOB Dult td U drawers where the small accessories are kept. and if each one is de voted to some particular thing there will be no jumbling of collars. belts handkerchiefs and gloves.
 An excellent idea for the store room or attic, is to obtain several boxes of the same size Remove the boards from one side. fashion into a door, and attach to the box with leather hinges. Place these to~es cne above another with the doors dropping down or opening to one side as preferred, and label each box. In this wey it is easy to find patterns, underwear, miscel laneous pieces, or even files of old papers. The cleaning of the store room will then consist largely of sweeping the floor and dusting the boxes.
 This is the sort of order that saves the housewife many hours of work and many more hours of wor- ry. If this state of affairs is not already fixture in the house little work early in the season will install all of these conyeniences at the spring cleaning and will pay over and over in comfort and time Bronx News.

KEEPING FIGURE LINES.

Everyone is afraid of growing fat nowadays; no system of weight re- ducing seems to be too troublesome for the over-plump, no corset ar engagement too elaborate or expen- sive It seems however, that the "Donts" are in danger of being neglected for the "do's"-and really the "Don'ts" are of rather more importance, says the Philadelphia h. quirer.
 Don't lie in bed late of a morning Is an indispensable one. One girl nearly starves herself to slimness, and stays in bed until nearly lunch time, feeling dull and bored, and anxious to pass the time away rapidly because she does not take any breakfast. She wonders that her abstinence is not more effective; but 1t Is wonder that she Is not putting on more weight still faster than she does. Early to rise" and lol tOO edlly lo Dtu Sloulu DS tllS fat woman's motto.
 Another Don't" of considera ble importance is Don't sit too much. |" Constant sitting encourages a pc culiarly ungraceful form of stout ness, and destroys the carriage as we'll Any indoor work that can be done in a standing position should be done so; and walking should be substituted for driving whenever pos sible. Stout people often suffer from tender and tired feet. It may be useful to note if constant walk ing and standing develop this trou- ble, that the nightly use of very hot water, followed by drying, and rubbing with alcohol, will take away all tiredness and swelling most ef- fecttvely

REGULATING THE OVEN.

By using tbe following tests one may be reasonably sure of getting the proper heat for various kinds of baking
 For sponge cake and pound cake, have heat that will In five minutes turn a piece of white paper yellow. For all other kinds of cut cake, use an oven that will in five min utes turn a piece of white paper dark yellow For bread and pastry, have an oven that will in five min utes turn a piece of white paper dark brown
 When the oven is too hot at first crust forms on the bread or cake which prevents it from rising. It is better when baking bread and cake to have the oven a little slow at first and increase the heat grad ually. When baking puff-paste, the heat should be greatest at first and decrease later This is to keep the paste il shape. When the oven is too hot the temperature may be re- duced by putting in pan of cold water
 When baking in an oven that is too hot at the top fill with cold water dripping pan, which is about an inch deep, and place it on the top grate of the oven. Should the oven be too hot at the bottom, put a grate under the article that is to be baked

PRESERVING CHOICE LINENS

Every bride loves to look after her pretty possessions. and the at tentions to her linen will be per sonal pleasure, not mere duty. In order 10 prolong the life of her linen it should receive her personal attention, no matter how many maids she may have. says a popular wo- mans magazine.
 The first step toward protecting the linen Is in the washing and ironing. If the young housewife has perfect confidence in her laundress she may give the linen into her hands with implicit directions as to its cleaning Fine linen should never be sent to a public laundry, as it will be ruined by the chemi- calls used in most of these institu- tions. Tn the home laundry certain rules should be carefully observed at every washing and ironing of the household linen.
 Dos and Donts.
 A few "donts" head the list of rules for the laundress. Don't use injurious washing fluids or chemicals in the water. Don't rub the fine goods on the board. Do not use unknown soaps; pick out a good. harmless naphtha soap and stick to it.
 In the ironing do not let the irons get too hot before using; try the iron carefully before putting it on the linen so as not to scorch 1t. Do not fold in the same creases every times the pieces are ironed
 Besides these "don'ts" there are a few dos" which require atter- tion Be sure all the soap is care fully rinsed out before hanging the linen up to dry. Be sure the linen is placed in the sunlight. In the ironing, iron on the wrong side, first away from the ironer, and fold it each time in different fold
 The folding is most important step in the preservation of good linen. If the napkins and tableclotns 5 are always creased on the same

REFLECTIONS OF A
 BACHELOR GIRL.

Alas 1t is so hard to find a hus- band who can see your fascination with one eye and your milliners bill with the other-who will ca ress you with one hand and pay the rent with the other.
 A real man enjoys being told that he is handsome" just about as much as a beautiful woman enjoys being called good and intelligent
 After 40, most bachelors have sen timental dyspepsia, acquired by long and constant indulgence in highly spiced flirtations and half-baked love affairs
 Some men are like popular novels; you have only to glance at them once in order to see their finish.
 Never strike a woman when she's down; wait until she gets up to fox trot with you. and then tell her shes getting fatter."
 A woman later is one who is careful to beat out every spark of sentiment around the edges of his heart for fear that it may spread into 6 consuming emotion.
 Given the moon, the mood and the psychological moment-and the maid doesn't particularly matter at this sentimental season.
 Luckily, woman's first sweet heart and her last cannot compare notes. And if they could they would merely conclude that they could not possibly be speaking of the same woman
 that he is an Adonis his eyes are apt to get so daZzled from admiring himself that he cant see when woman is jollying him.
 A successful coquette is not one who knows how to make skilful ad vances. but one who knows how to wave a danger signal and then make skilful retreat
 No boy likes a non-breakable toy, and no man likes woman with inde- structible ideals and a non-breakable heart. It is the masculine nature to enjoy smashing things
 Pouf It isn't beauty. and it isn't clevemess, and it isn't clothes that make a particular woman fascinat- ing. It is just a sort of magnetic current which seems to run around her and sets her eyes a-twinkling- and mans heart a-tingling.
 There is no such tonic for a mans nerves as capricious wife and no such softener for his backbone as self-sacrificing one.
 Every allwool, naturalmind man is "Narcissus," who would gladly and deliberately drown himself if he thought he were really sweet and beautiful. ."-Helen Rowland in N. Y. Evening World

MULE DIDN'T MIND
 BEEHIVE IN HIS EAR

ROME, N Y, Nov 29.-Cfi Eff Edgecross took one of his mules from the pasture, where it had been for several weeks, and while hitch ing it up noticed several bees fly ing around the animals head. Fear ing that their presence would bring an attack of nerves to the mule, he shooed them off, but they prompt ly returned and disappeared in the animals right ear
 Edgecross investigated and found the bees had swarmed in the lower part of the ear and had deposited considerable amount of honey in comb The swarm was dislodged, the honey cleaned out, and it was found that the interior of the ear was inflamed from stings. Edge cross lost a hive of bees few weeks ago.

difficult to care for and unpleasant in appearance because they arc clut. tered with accumulations of empty fruit jars.

THE VALUE OF ORDER

Order always pays in the long run One cannot always keep the house outwardly straight if it is to be used as most people use their homes. But there is a truer orderli ness that every good housewife loves and should attain. Nose care less housewives know the feeling of dismay when a change in tenn perature calls for a change io raj ment, or when circumstances sud denly demand some little used arti- cle- Then 1t is that untidy store rooms and boxes emphasize the beau- ty of having a place for things and everything where 1t belongs.
