BEAUTY CHATS

with very little trouble you can
make your feet beautiful and keep
them 90. OF course, their outward ap-
pearance depends largely on the kind
OF shoes you buy, q matter not so

feet are unhealthy you cannot have
them nice looking, no matter how ex-
pensive your shoes are.
Give yourself o weekly pedicure,
choosing time Immediately after your
bath when the skin around the, toe
nails Is soft from soaking in the bath
water. Cut the toenails straight
across and scrape away as much dead
skin from around the edges as possible.
The nails must not be oval or pointed,
as with the fingernails. unless you
want ingrowing toenails. Nor should
they ever be longer than the toes. If
you find any of this difficult let the
feet soak first for q few minutes in

q heaping tablespoonful Of magnesium

one needs to test this out occasionally
and see Just what condition the scalp
Is in. A very loose scalp that feels
thin and flabby under the hngertips,

not in the best condition, as it would be
as weak as any other set Of flabby
muscles anywhere in the body. A tight
scalp would be tensed and sometimes

exertion and time before there could

Il was about this time that Reddy
began to appreciate the fact that, while
Nanny was so near, she was also very
far away. He couldn't get into that

that Nanny would be so frightened that

Finally. Reddy Fox gave up. There
was nothing else to do. He began TO

So It was that Nanny Meadow Mouse

knocked that old can over, which made
it easy for her to get out now when
she wanted to. Her prison had. indeed,
become her castle.

A Sermon for Today

"when have o more convenient
season. Acts, xxiv.25.
It Is an old but true saying that
procrastination 10 the thief OF time.
Some people are forever waiting for
o more convenient season, not only for
attending to their religious duties. but
off until tomorrow what they know
they ought to do today. Conditions
are never Just right for them. And
while they are waiting for more favor
able conditions, or o more suitable
time, life slips by and most Of the
things they have intended are left un-
done.
We may sometimes very wisely wait
for q better day, or for better circufn.
stances. But the man who thinks he
must wait until everything Ii just right
will never get anywhere.
II you have the conviction that you
ought to do a thing, II you have con-
sidered it well and are sure Of your
Judgment. instead Of waiting for favor
able conditions. the thing to do Is to
turn in and make the conditions IA
vorable.
A a rule, we never find things just
right for anything we plan to do until
we make them Just right.
No matter what undertaking you
have on hand, If you wait for o favor
able wind and a cloudless sky the
chances are that you will never put
your proposition across.
One cannot always 60 against cir
cumstances, but he is poor sort of
man who runs up the white flag and
surrenders to them. We should re-
member always that we are meant to
be victors over our circumstances, not
their victims
Nothing worth doing Ii ever done by
the fellow who Is all the while waiting
for q more convenient season.

INSCRIPTIONS, cruel and rapacious
Richard III Of England might be, but
never did he lack courage. Small, lean.
crooked-backed. he yet fought with
prodigious strength and determination.
He did not at first fear the return Of

Maddened, the hunchbacked King,

adherents headlong in attack.
Though. Insignificant In person, he
did marvels In close combat. He drove
his lance through the armpit Of Sir

he rode at Henry himself, and that
youth, none too martial, was In grave
danger.
Sir John Cheyney, O giant Of Q man,

at the first shock.
Others Of Henry's adherents had
