ticular job means taking advantage Of
the warming-up process. A correspond
ent to this column states that he dis
likes his Job and hates to go to work
but when he Is there and warmed up
he doesn't mind.
A great many people wait till the
proper mood is upon them before
lacking some job that they dislike. The
trouble with this plan is that those
favorable moods never come. A runner
cannot have his second wind till he uses
up his first wind, so to speak. No more
can we count on favorable mood IN

exhausted our resources.
The important thing is to make III

Have you ever experienced what the
runners call second wind?" 1t is a
very peculiar feeling. While running
you begin to get wobbly and are In
great distress, not knowing what min
ute you will have to be forced out OF
the race or drop from exertion. Then
all Of sudden something happens that
makes you feel lot better. You have
your second wind
The explanation of second wind Is as
follows: When man starts running he
places greater demand on his heart
and lungs than these organs are accus-
toned to and for while they are UNI
able to meet the demand. The runner is
in distress. But presently, as he keeps
on running, the heart and lungs catch
up with the strain and are able to de-
liver the power and force to the body
mechanism in sufficient quantities to
keep it moving along in perfect rhythm
In a figurative way we speak OF
getting our second wind when IN any

It's perfectly possible to keep your
feet healthy and comfortable, and there
fore good looking, by home treatMents.
There is very simple treatment which
should be given every week, and an
other one once month.
Once week, preferably after your
bath, while the skin around the toe
nails Is soft, clip the toenails quite
short and straight across with q pair
of scissors, clean under them with a
nail file and rub the blunt end tf an
orangewood stick around the edges to
wear off any loose cuticle. If suffi-
GENTLY large bits of cuticle are raised
by this process, clip them off with
manicure scissors.
The monthly pedicure starts the same
way. But If there are any corns, OF
callouses that might be corns, rub them
down with corn file. which is a LARGE
