them over carefully and see that they
are in tip-top condition. Sharpen the
saws and see that the handles are all

Did you ever try cooperation in ice

To Keep Your Shoes Dry.

Here is an item which the doctor
tells us to add to our long list of
things to do to keep the ''fYu" away :
By standing just outside your door
In dry place for a moment before
wading out In the snow in severe
weather you will find that the snow
does not cling to the shoes and they
viii remain perfectly dry. The rea-
son for this is that the soles of your
shoes are cooled so that they do not
melt the snow through which you
walk. If you rush out of a warm
house In warm shoes they melt the
snow which sticks to them, and the
water soon soaks through to the feet
