Home Remedies for Warts.

Dear Miss Leeds: I was just reading
an article in your column where read
er asks how to get rid of warts on her
fingers. Well, the same thing has hap
pened to me. Mine are tiny, fiat warts
on the same fingers as the said readers
They are the size of pin head and
about as oval Although small they
annoy me, and I am hoping you can
give us a cure for them. MRS. H.
AnSwer--One of the best ways to
treat warts at home is to apply an oily
lotion or salve twice a day. Castor
oil, vaseline, lanolin or cocoa butter
may be used for this purpose.
Many of the readers have kindly
written in telling of their experiences
in getting rid of warts. One who signs
herself IAN Interested Reader" writes
as follows: mix common baking soda
with vinegar to form thick paste.
Apply as often as convenient during the
day and at night apply and wrap. After
a few applications the wart will appear
white and scaly and If used diligently
will disappear in very short time"
Several readers have been very sue
cessful in getting rid of warts by using
castor oil. Mrs. L. w. writes Several
years ago I had large seed wart on
my hand end removed 1t by applying
castor oil every night. Put the oil on
piece of cotton and bind 1t on the
wart with adhesive tape. This seems to
kill the seeds and turn them black and
come out few at time and finally
the whole wart will come out and the
hole will heal up. There is nothing
harmful in the castor oil and 1t surely

Your Baby and Mine


The first six weeks Of a baby's life
are rather crucial period for him, and
equally for his mother. There is a feel
ing on her part that, now the baby
has arrived her troubles are over. She
resents being made to feel like an in
valid. She considers the doctor an old
granny" who advises rest and still
more rest. In fact, her relief from the
various tensions under which she has
been laboring gives her false sense of
well-being, which she is all too apt to
drive to the point of exhaustion.
The new mother should be warned
that her first six weeks are a period of
as well as a period of training
for the baby. It is silly and foolhardy
to ny in the face of advice, which is
not overcautiouS but merely sensible
and understanding. She has no right
to deplete her strength and deprive
baby of the bounties that can be fur
nished by calm and rested mother
She may take gentle exercises in bed,
under the advice of her doctor, but In
bed she should stay for 10 days at the
very least land two weeks are even
better) and she should take maps and
rest periods and avoid running upstairs
and managing the household until baby
is at least six weeks old. At the end of
adventure is over.
The whole household will be happier
II baby has, in that length of time,
learned to hum in tune with 1t. A
rested mother, one who demands and
gets nap while baby sleeps, one who
coddles herself little, will be better
equipped to start the little machine to
rhythmically.
Some psychologists say that baby can
be made or marred by the treatment he
receives in the first hour of his life.
We can only hope that our children
were not entirely spoiled by misman-
agement the first hour of their lives
but we do feel that II baby isn't led
gently toward regularity the first six
weeks of his young life and the right
habits established, the task becomes
progressively more hopeless. Not that
the mother must despair utterly, but we
hope she'll realize that the first six
weeks are the ideal period for training
and not after that.

baby into the habit of waking exactly
on the hours when the dinner bell is
ringing for him. 1t takes only little
of the hours between his musings. The
efforts have to be made with a clear
consciousness OF the importance of this
early regularity. Half-hearted attempts
are wasted. If baby is even once given
the idea that his cries will be rewarded
by food, even when food is obviously
not to be expected. he never forgetS it.
Babies like to eat. It Is one of the
things they do best, but this isn't an ex-
cuse for giving in to their demands.
especially if the scales say firmly that
baby is getting enough to eat. 1t is in
line with their best interests that their
stomachs have rest period. Feeding
oftener than once in three hours is an
outrage to baby's digestion. Soon baby
will be so thoroughly upset that he vii!

Those OF us who have reared more

nearly as possible the same manner,
know that some children fall more
easily into regular habits than others.
Some are Of more nervous tempera-
ment. But all babies, unless injured at
birth. or atrociously misfed, will, In
record time, settle down to the schedule
laid out for them by mother or nurse.
Habits are easily established. Habits
that are as conducive to babys sense of
well being and contentment as regular
maps and regular feeding periods, are
especially so. If the baby Is leading q
helter-skelter life, being fed whenever
he cries and sleeping when he desires,
1t is possible to discover behind the
mothers failure lurking disbelief in
the possibility of making little ma
chine of the baby. This is fostered by
other mothers who haven't been able to,
or by a host of relatives and in-laws,
who follow some general law in Just be-
ing naturally opposed to almost any
thing the new mother sets out to do.
II the mother sticks patiently to
schedule the first six weeks, watches the
clock, puts baby to bed on the dot of
the hour and nurses him likewise, one
may be sure that his schedule and the
certainty one feels that 1t will be sue
cessful will be responsible for its success.

Prophecy.

When the iron horse" first came to
his town, a farmer was induced to leave
his pillow and make an inspection of the
much talked-of invention. According to
this threadbare story, his only remark
was: They will never get 1t started"
But it did move. Then he said: They
will never get it stopped"
Human nature is conservative. Rad
ical changes are hard to make, because
straight thinking is a painful, distaste-
full occupation. Prophets of all sorts
are ready and eager to forecast any,
thing and everything.
For every true prophet, there must
be some ten thousand false ones who
say, "It can't be DONE" Back in KEEP
ler's time such false prophets actually
refused to look through his telescope.
Prophets are sometimes noted for stub
bornness as we'll as for their knowledge
Of the stars, the meaning of coloration
on a goose bone and so on ad infinitum
The crop of false prophets never fails.
Today I read of lot of high minded
men who declare that science is about
to destroy civilization. False prophets!
Civilization is question of insight
plus faith. Insight first. If civilization
is to amount to anything. it will be be-
cause of science. The civilization that
cannot look facts in the face isn't worth
perpetuating.
Those prophets who know nothing
but lore are false. Those who have a
genius for putting related facts together
become the inventors, the true prophets.
Every invention is a collection of
facts. Every collection of inventions, a
civilization. The prophet who doesn't
understand these premises will continue
to deal in lore.

Then build a sewer on the north side

SUB ROSA
Why Lovelorn :
By MIMI.

There is a saying that the heart
knoweth its own bitterness, but no
saying that the heart knoweth its own
sweetness. It must be that we become
acquainted with sorrow more easily
than with Joy.
Not all those who feel the sorrows
of love write to the Love Lore Editor
to recite their woes in print. Most of
the lovelorners, and probably the real
ones, keep their heartaches to them
selves. The heart knows the kind of
bitterness which can spring from dis
appointed love.
But, after all, there is really some
thing natural about the alliance be-
tween love and sorrow. They are diff
one thing in common-depth and feel
ing. 1t is as though two different
things sank to the level as both gold
and lead sink to the bottom of the sea-
One Is precious compared with the
other. but both are very heavy.
The idea seems to be that love Is an
experience which cannot be carried
along by the feeling of joy. hence it
must turn to sorrow for its real ex-
preston. We take pleasure ir trifles
and are made happy by loves lighter
the accompaniment must be in the
minor key of sadness.
You couldn't hope to carry a valu-
able amount of gold in light basket.
You'd need a strong, heavy vehicle. In
the same way. the gold of love is so
precious and so heavy in its precious
ness that it requires the burdened
heart to bear it.
But the kind of sorrow which is
felt when one is sweetly anguished over
love is something different from pain.
The love sorrow is something which
we welcome since it shows us that we
are carrying q heavy load of precious
feeling.
Maybe the human heart is like
Horatio of whom Hamlet, his boy
friend, said-"Thou art as one who
suffers all and suffers nought' It's
something like that anyhow. He meant
that Mr.. Horatio suffered and didn't
suffer.
Love is like that. 1t makes us sad
about everything and nothing. 1t gives
us pain because it can appeal to us
in no other way It's such real feel
ing that 1t has to get right down into
the roots Of the heart.
Be sure you're really lovelorn be-
fore you appeal to the editor Of the
Broken Heart Column. 1t may be that
the love sorrow you feel Is only love
itself making its reality felt.

PAIR OF INTERESTING DATING BACK TO THE
THE LAST CENTURY

Antique teapots reflect in their size
the period to which they belong. In
the days of good Queen Anne. when tea
sold for prices corresponding to $40
and $50 pound, the pots were small
Tea was a great luxury and was kept
in exquisite tea caddieS under lock and
key. 1t was an honor to be served a
cup of its brew. Only those of wealth
could afford to buy and serve 1t.
Today we have teapots of all sizes
and shapes. They are bought to suit
the size of a family, in individual sizes
sufficient for one cup and from this up
to the family pots Just mentioned. 1t
Is quite customary for one family to
have teapots in assorted sizes to suit
every need, and the beverage is served
several times a day.
The size and shape of teapotS have
ceased to be criterions of age since the
reign of King George III of England.
It was not until the time of William
~ that teapots became the large pots
frequently found today. This size con-
tinued through the Victorian period,
with tendencies to vary with the
smaller ones. Today there are in
Vulnerable sizes. Should a person elect
to collect teapots today, it would be
discovered that the wide range of
shapes and sizes and decorations. and
even substances, used in the making of
teapots is almost limitless.
