Remedy For Frosted Feet
 And Inflamed Bunions

Few people get through life without knowing something of the torture of frosted feet or bunions. Children are particularly susceptible to the former, but grownups are by no means exempt, writes a correspondent of the National Stockman. After suffering and trying many things We have found a so far never failing remedy for both chil- plains and bunions, and not the least of its virtues Is the fact that 1t Is both simple and inexpensive.
 Half fill a four ounce bottle with ker- osene oil and put Into it an ounce of gum camphor crushed fine. Keep tight ly corked and shake occasionally until the camphor dissolves, then apply free ly to the affected part as required, sim. ply allowing 1t to dry in. In the writ CTS case three or four applications en- tirely and permanently relieved the dis treSSing itching and soreness resulting from badly frosted feet,
 Another member of the family had a bunlon of many years standing so large and sore that in cold weather she was sometimes unable to wear a shoe. Now, with an occasional application of this simple remedy she has little or no discomfort, and we have given 1t to others similarly afflicted with the same happy results. It will also relieve soft corns and aching feet and will not blis- En

Worth Knowing

A spoonful of water added to an egg before beating 1t makes it more frothy.
 A little flour spread over the top of cakes before they are iced wn prevent the icing from running of.
 To make boiled potatoes white let them lie pare0 in cold water for two or three hours previous to cooking.
 Breadcrumbs should always be used fU= covering articles for frying, as cracker crumbs absorb the grease.
 Bake your potatoes on a wire dish drainer. They bake evenly, require no turning and are easily removed from the oven all at once.
 When making chocolate filling for cake add the grated rind of lemon or a httle cinnamon. It improves it greatly.
 Mend your china at home by mixing a teaspoonful of alum and a table spoonful of water and placing in a hot oven until transparent. Wash the broken pieces in hot water, dry, and while still warm coat the broken edges thickly and quickly with the mixture.

HIGH FEED COST
 MAY REDUCE SIZE OF JUNEAU HERDS
Unless Situation Improves Dairy Stock Will
 Be Killed.
GOVERNMENT IS ACTING

"If Mir. Hoover desires to con serve the supply of meat and dairy products he will begin on hay grain and other food prices," sait William Altemueler of the Juneal Dairy. Unless there is a reduc- tion in the cost of feed dairy stock will have to be sacrificed to the butchers block,' he continued and Juneau herds are no excep ton to the rule. We have ad. vanced the price of milk once, and will have to do it again. In addi- tion to that we shall have to cut down the numbers fin our cows Prices of feed are becoming pro hibitive."
 Word from the South is that the Federal Government is already moving to prevent corner in the hay and grain markets of the West but at that the prices are so higl that cows are being butchered.
 Situation at Seattle.
 The following account of the sit nation at Seattle is taken from the Seattle st-Intelligencer of Aug. lst 25:
 Charges filed with federal au. thorities on Friday that brokers and other dealers were attempting to establish a corner on the markets for hay, grain and other cattle feeds led to the announcement thai the charges would be investigated and if shown well founded would result in complaints being institut ed under the antitrust. laws.
 Following the receipt of sever Il complaints by agents of the fed eral department of justice in Seat tle on Friday, John A. Todd, state lnimal inspector and live stoci nan, arrived in Seattle and issued the following statement:

 Now is the time for the fedora authorities to enforce the law against the cornering of hay, grair and other cattle feed The situation is serious, indeed.
