Corns

Corns
Corns are warning signs that we
are ~ill-treating u feet. Either tight
shoes which may in time deform the
bones Of the feet. or loose shoes that
permit the feet to chafe will result
In corns.
A corn Is nothing more nor less
than a horny layer of skin caused by
a combination of pressure and fric-
ton on n spot of the foot. Loose,
ill-fitting shoes cause nearly as many
corns as shoes that are tight.
The pressure of badly fitting shoes
or the chafing Of the toes against
the leather when walking creates a
hard layer Of skin at the point of
irritation. In time this becomes a
cone-shaped mass, the apex of the
cone pressing inward upon the senst-
tive tissues beneath and producing
pain by pressure.
If you hope to cure a corn. first
remove the pressure which is Gauss
ing 1t. Broad toe shoes, though not
necessarily square toed. will usually
remove the pressure II the cor Is
on a toe. A felt ring may remove
the pressure, but a shoe large enough
to give the foot comfort Is essential.
To emove a corn, first soften 1t

painted on the corn only. This so
softens the corn that it may be
picked off. If it is necessary, h
treatment should be repeated daily
until the last viytage of the corn Is
removed. Then see that there is no
pressure on the spot that will bring
it back.
A corn or a callous should never
be cut without first washing the
hands thoroughly. boiling or
thoroughly washing the Z with
hot scapy water and alcohol, and
painting the akin over and all around
the corn area with tincture of iodine.
Soft corns-which are the results
of pressure from adjoining toes
may be treated In the same manner
as hard corns. but the toes should be
kept separated by small pieces OF
sterile gauze. or absorbent cotton,
changed once or twice a day to pre-
| vent moisture.

HIGH EXPLOSIVES AND FIREWORKS

Two accidents within the last few days have
served to indicate again the danger accompany
ing the use of high explosive fireworks such as
appear to be favored by a certain section OF the
community when celebrating its holidays.
In West Hoboken, after several bombs had
been set off with an ear-cracking din, it was
discovered that the roof of a house whose &C.
cupants were in bed had been set afire.>
In Bayonne, a little girl was struck and pain
fully injured by a bomb. This mishap has had
the effect of inducing the local authorities to
put such fireworks under the ban hereafter, a
step that should have been taken long be-
fore this.
In the West Hoboken instance, the bombs
were set off in direct defiance of an ordinance
recently passed in that town. Two men were
arrested as the result. Their case calls for a
penalty sufficient to impress everybody that such
restrictions are made to be obeyed.
High explosive fireworks have no place in ur-
ban communities. They are both too dangerous
and too noisy.-Jersey City Journal.
