their powers of resistance against
pressure. An excellent way to do
this is to bathe the feet daily for
half an hour in hot salt water. This
is more effective if the feet are mas
saged for a few moments afterward
The best thing that can be done
with a hard corn on the outside or
the foot is to soak the foot until the
yellow skin is softened. and then to
shave this down as far as possible.
OF course. this requires a great deal
of care, since only the dead skin
should be cut. If you try it yourself
it will pay you to buy sharp corn
knife These can be purchased in any
cutlery store.
When you have taken off the dead
skin which. by pressing on nerve
causes pain, rub the spot with car
bolated vaseline or with any oil or
emollient. Put wad of soft cotton
over this and strap it to the foot with
adhesive tape. In my opinion the
ready made corn pads only aegravate
matters unless they are reshaped by
A chiropodist. The idea is to avoid
rubbing or pressing on the sore spot.
Binding slice of lemon over the
corn at night will sometimes cure it.

was very much interested the
other day in receiving a pamphlet
printed by a society of chiropodists,
with the heading: Are Corns Cur
able?" and the first thing that the
pamphlet said was that they were
not. This seemed rather a discour-
aging way to begin an article on the
cure of corns, but the statement was
modified later to say that corns are
durable if treated soon enough, and
that even in the case Of an appar-
emily incurable corn an enormous i'm
provement can be made. Besides. as
my own chiropodist once. said, You
never can tell"
The first thing to do for any hurt

press nor rub and that allow the
toes perfect freedom. To avoid pres

are best; pointed toe shoes are never
allowable under any circumstances.
The next thing to do is to harden

him. Not once did he use them to take
Tote of the way in which he was going.
So it was that when at last he stopped
because his legs ached and he was out
of breath Boxer was as completely lost
as little Bear could be. He didn't
know 1t then. but he was. He was to
find it out later.
Z Now" said Boxer, talking to him
6elf as he rested, 81 guess Mother Bear
will be sorry she spanked me. And I
guess Woof-Woof will wish she hadn't
laughed at me and made fun of me.
Maybe they'll be so sorry they'll cry.
II they come to look for me I'll hide
where they won't ever find me. Then
they'll be sorrier than ever and I'll be
even with them. l won't go home until
j am as big as my father. Buster Bear.
Then, / guess. they'll treat me nice"
So Boxer rested and planned the won-
derful things he would do out in the
Great World and was glad he had run
away from home. You see, it was very
pleasant there in the Green Forest and
after all. if he really wanted to he could
go back home. That is what he thought,
anyway. You see, he hadn't the least
idea yet that he was lost.

Boxer Starts Out to Get Even
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.
Wait a minute. count the cost;
Wasted time is time that's lost.

! Mrs. Bear.
Boxer lay curled up in corner Of the
bedroom under the great windfall. and
there he sulked and sulked and sulked
and tried to make himself believe he
was the worst treated little Bear in all
the Great World. But sulking all alone
tsn't any fun at all. No one can truly
enjoy being Sulky with no one 10 see IT,
So, in spite of himself. Boxer was soon
wondering what his twin sister, Noof-
Woof. and Mother Bear We're DONG.
He had seen them start off toward the
Laughing Brook. and though he
wouldn't own up to it. even to himself.
he wished that he was with them. He
dearly loved to play along the Laughing
Brook.
\ When he could stand it no longer.
poked his head out from under the
great windfall. There he stood for the
longest time looking. listening, smelling.
Everything looked just as usual. There
were no strange sounds. The Merry
Little Breezes brought him no new
smells. There were no signs of Mother
Bear and Woof-Woof. He didn't know
whether they had gone up the Laughing
Brook or down the Laughing Brook. He
tried to pretend that he didn't care
where they were or what they were
doing.
But he didn't succeed. You know it
isn't often you can really and truly fool
yourself. You may fool other people.
but not yourself. So, after a while.
Boxer gave up trying to pretend he
didn't care. And then sulkiness gave
way to temper. bad temper.
'T-I-fll go way, way off in the
Great World and never come back.
Then I guess Mother Bear and Woof-
woof will be sorry and wish they had
been good to me-" muttered Boxer.
He stood up for an instant to look and
listen. Then that silly little Bear scam
pered off as fast as he could go without
paying any attention at all to his direc-
<tion. His one thought was to get as far
as possible from the great windfall be-
fore Mother Bear should return. He
would show Mother Bear that he was
TOO big to be spanked and sent to bed.
He would show Woof-Woof that he
could take care of himself and didn't
need to tag along after Mother Bear.
So Boxer ran and ran until his little
E1egs grew tired. The only use he made
Of his eyes was to keep looking behind
him to see if Mother Bear was after
