Beauty Chats M zE9ae Kent FORBES

EXPERT MAssEURs claim that massage
VIII cure most Of the evils Of the day,
by toning the muscles and helping cir
culation. Osteopaths say that their
science is best, since it treats bones
and nerves. Doctors work from the di-
gestion out, in that they give certain
drugs that act through the stomach
on the blood
And each is right. But for such
small but bothersome troubles as
swollen and tired feet, eorns. and
so on, Just plain rubbing is about the
best Of cures. OF course, you cannot
rub of an aggravated corn, which is
unfortunate, but you can prevent
future cOrns from coming by rubbing
the feet vigorously each night after
your bath.
For the housewife who ends her
work with aching feet and ankles,
and the girl whose duties keep her
standing during the day till her feet
are fiery hot, the same advice ap-
plies. A hot foot bath to relax the
muscles and draw fresh blood into
them, bath with a handful of salt.
preferably, and a rubbing with a
towel and then with the hands, will
take all the ache and pain away.
While the feet are fresh from their
bath, and their rubbing, clip the toe
nails almost straight across with
your manicure scisGors-the big toe
nail may be too thick and require
heavier ones-run the nail file under
the toes to get out the lint that col
lects from the stockings and clip off
all pieces Of callOus skin, before it
gets hard enough TO form the nu-
cleus for a corn.
If your large toe nail does not
grow under the skin a bit on the
sides, il is because too much lint has
gotten in, and spoiled" the nail.
Take wisps of cotton, dip them into
peroxide to make them antiseptic,
and run them under the nail. In a
few weeks, remove them and the nail
will heal Of itself.
