Corns are merely hard caiious bits
of skin and their supposed roots exist
only in the minds of those who are
suffering from them. Pressure or rub
bling hardens the normal skin into a
horny layer and, to protect itself from
injury, Nature adds layer upon layer
beneath, all of which pressing upon
the nerves of the real skin causes the
most intense pain. This is the theory
of most chiropodists. There are any
number of corn cures on the market
which may OF may not do away with
the corn permanently. Personally,
favor less rigid method of treating.
The first thing is to soak the foot
with the corn in hot soapy water.
After 20 minutes the hard yellow skin
will swell and soften and can be
shaved down with a corn knife or safe
ty razor blade. AS much should be
shaver off as possible without cutting
the living skin. If the toe is sore a
few drops of collodion on the spot will
relieve the soreness. A small piece of
chamois with tiny hole for ventila-
ton cut in the center should be bound
over the spot and kept there for sew
eral days so the shoe will not~ rub.

the callous spot rubbed well with vase
line or olive oil
The entire treatment, of course, will
have to be repeated now and then, but
if you are careful to keep the callous
skin shaved, and if you wear perfectly
fitting shoes, even a very obstinate
corn should be cured by this simple
method But as few shoes fit perfect
ly you will probably have to repeat
this treatment from time to time.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: My waist is
very short and | never feel that
make a good appearance because of
this. What can ] do to lengthen my
waist? D. G.. T.
A great help toward improving the
appearance of the figure in this re-
spect is to plan the style of the dress
to this end Avoid every suggestion of
horizontal trimming or pattern in the
waist. The one piece dresses so much
in vogue at present are very well
adopted to the short wasted person,
since the belt can be worn loosely and
low enough to hide the natural waist
line. A good corset, carefully selected
for the special need, will help great
deal.

were signally to me that they'd be at
the landing if | wanted them-as | did,
you see. And is was my light you saw

"Giddy, l think you're mad" she
told him, quietly; her anger had died
down now, and left her cool, deter

out of this impossible situation. You

you had said you would. Now you're
behaving in that same childish way.
Come, Giddy remember that we're
grown up now, and that you can't play

For moment she thought that her
talking to him had had some effect;
he turned half way from her, irreso

and her beauty struck him afresh. The
desire for her was too much for him
he stepped forward, arms out, and
j wild with fright, she turned, reached
out blindly, and found that she had
stumbled into a door leading to the
deck.
Frantic, she ran up the few steps;
at least there would be other men
there, who might help her. Indeed
one of them came forward just as she
tripped on a coil of 70 T., and caught
her when she would have fallen to the
deck.
She looked up, clinging to him; she
| was trembling so that she would have

mans sou'wester was drawn well
down over his eyes, and his coat col

not see his face. Yet she knew that

and his voice sent her seeking for a

He did not ask her if she would sit

at that, yet there was relief in obey
ing him. She dropped down on the
box that he placed for her, then turned
to him again as Keith Gilbert appear

"Thatll do" he said to the man,

"Oh no-no!" Sally chung to the

spoke menacingly now, but the man
remained where he was.
"If you don't clean out of here I'll
throw you overheard" Keith told him,
and raised his arm to strike. But in
that moment the other stepped for
ward, and quicker than Sallys eyes
could follow his movements, he had
thrown Keith to the deck and was
binding him with an end of rope that
he caught up as Keith fell.
He turned to her then, dragging off
the sou'wester that had concealed his
face so effectively And Sally found
herself looking up into Neal Calhoun S

long as you're going to. Why have
you played around with me if you

I've done, and then drop him?

Yet she fought down the fear that

Sally had not counted on the glimpse
of Keith Gilbert's disposition that her
defiance brought forth: indeed, she
had never known that his face could
turn dark with surliness, or that his
hazel eyes could narrow so forbidding-

scented the school with a fine painting
of the schoolhouse painted by him

tions. After the program came the
Christmas tree, the rooms being very
prettily decorated for taa occasion
The children were all remembered,
and the two Santas with their funny
antics made it very ENJOYABLE oe-
casion, with much credit due both
teachers and pupils.
Following is the program:
Opening SONG, both schools; act l.,

Bartlett Mill Partially Burned ut No.
New Portland

Wednesday night at $50 the first
alarm at the c. H. Bartletts Mfg. Co,
at North New Portland, mill rang in
and a serious fire would have result
ed if it had not been for the quick
work of the night Waterman Lester
Henderson, and the help OF the eiti-
zens of the town. The fire was cau-
sed by a hot box in the main shaft
of the dynamo room setting fire and
spread to the lathe room and office.
Quite serious damage was done to
the wood work and contents of the
office and belts OF lathe room, The
men were handicapped in fighting the
fire as the lights We're all out and
there was so much smoke 1t was hard
to get at the real blaze. The old
mill was burned June nth 1912, the
present one having been built in 1912
and 1913. Automatic sprinkler sys-
TEN and efficient work of the citi-
zens saved the plant from complete
destruction. The fire company from
West New Portland also assisted In
controlling the fire The estimate OF
the loss and damage has not been
determined.

Search Kept up for Missing Wardens
$500 Reward Offered

Denial was made by Attorny Gen
eral r. w. Shaw on Friday of the
newspaper report that search had
been abandoned for Game Wardens
David F. Brown and Mertley +.
Johnson of Greenyille, who have been
missing for several weeks in the
woods near the Canadian boundary.
Mr.. Shaw stated that commissioner
Willis +. Parsons of the department
of inland fisheries and game has
announced his determination to keep
up the search, and although the snow
will doubtless prove an obstacle. the
searchers will keep on the job in that
territory.
A reward of $500 for the bodies OF
the wardens Is being offered by the
office of the attorney general.
Commissioner Parsons recently eX-
pressed the belief that the two
wardens had been ambushe1 and
murdered by poachers. He felt
certain that his wardens had never
left the region near where they were
last seen and into which they were
bound to arrest notorious Canadian
poacher known to be located there.

Feelings OF Infants

/ (By Mrs \. ii. Foster *. M
Fortunately Tor the future Of the
race the fashion OF having infants
artifeiaily fed has to some extent
gone out. There are. however, a
few people WHO still consider 1t is
not convenient or not nice and there
+ are a few mothers who owing 10
physical defects or i'll health are not
able to nurse laeir babies. Unless
it is absolutely impossible for the
reasons named. 10 child should be de-

of parental notion. \ parent
who does not consider it nice to
have a baby breast fed should with
out delay have 4 mental test taken.
There was time when natural things
were not considered nice and the pres
ent generation is paving the price.
IT is to be hoped that in this At least
the next generation will be emancl-
pated.
The Chinese mothers nurse their
babies for two years owing to the
fact that milk is not easily provided:
/ the Chinese being a nation Of vege-
table eaters. Much can be done to

There are many proprietary baby
foods the least valuable Of which is

used either for babies or inyalids for
any length Of time without being com
bined with milk as there seems to
be little nourisbment otherwise. Ba-

condensed cream and milk are used
with good results as it is not easy to
procure milk in its natural condition.
There is much to be said Tor this
method as canned milk must always
be sterlized thus ensuring a pure
product; but there is always the dan
ger Of contamination after the can Is
opened just as with milk.
If the habys food does not agree
with him, be sure first that the me-
thod of preparing is correct before
giving up for something else; for it
is harder to get results by changing

enough or too much? It IS much
harder TO regulate his diet after he
