F'eet and legs have become so promi- nent in present-day styles that one has ample opportunity for observation and the decision that few are perfect. The baby's foot is such a beautiful ob- ject that one wonders what happened between babyhood and adulthood to cause so many humpy, lumpy, mis- shapen feet and so many ugly ankles. One need not be entirely concerned with the beauty of the foot and ankle in order to deplore such conditions, for the person suffers tortures when the feet are in bad condition, and un- doubtedly fails to do his proper allot- ment of walking when every step is painful. Here are some simple exercises which will correct the foot ailments of children if done conscientiously. Do these exercises barefooted: Sit on the floor or bed, legs straight; flex an- kle and raise toes up as far as pos- sible toward shin. Keep the legs still. Do this 10 to 40 times daily. Walk on heels around the toes turned inward. Sit with feet parallel. floor and knees straight. Pull inner border up and out, 20 to 40 times. Sit with right leg crossed over left knee; make circles outward with right foot, up and down, in, up. Make <trong effort on “in’ and “up” and re- Lix on “out” and “down.” Alternate with other foot. Do this 20 to 40 times. Sit with feet apart and parallel on floor. Spread toes, pull toes in and under as if taking hold of floor. Re- peat 20 to 30 times. Step forward a short step with right foot, grip with right foot; ad- vance left foot, grip with left; walk forward, grip with foot as the weight is transferred to it. Toe straight ahead in walking. These exercises can be taught to children of 2 years and they will do them as fun. Children adore running about the floor barefooted and walk- ing on toes and heels, and gripping with the toes will be just plain fun, and at the same time wonderful strengtheners of the foot muscles. 1t would be a splendid idea to cut out this set of exercises and paste them in your scrap book. You can’t tell how soon you may be wanting 1hem, and memories are tricky things. room, Keep toes on When you first take possession ot the house, by all means make a tour of the rooms, removing all objects that appear to be uscless as well as unornamental, and all objects that seem to be especially fragile or liable to break. Put these things carefully away. Photographs and small orna- ments of a purely personal nature are usually better off out of the way. It is always a good idea, too, to have ornamental drapery, table covers, un- washable pillow covers, and other similar dust collectors out of the w On entering the house get permiss from the owner or agent to take such things down. Lay them carefully away in some closet or attic where no harm will come to them. You will probably be much better off without them. SEPOLE RIS Tomatoes-Tuna Fish.

Spring Near Monument, Before au single alder blooms, or any wild flowers have come out in thée woods, one may sometimes catch the first glimpse of a flower on the wide and rolling lawn of the acres of grass around the Washington Mon- ument. There in early’ March, in the low, dense carpet of turf, the little chickweed blooms, very close to the, ground, its tiny symmetrical flowers peeping up at one everywhere. With it are the speedwell—the blue of the sky is scattered everywhere—and a little low-growing mint flower of mad- der purple coler, called henbit, or by some of the old folks, marry-m quick, though for what reason I can- not Tuess. Soon, however, more conspicuous blossoms than those of these little Old World garden weeds, are seen around the great Monument. The cornelian cherry, Cornus Mas, as the botanists call it, has been planted there and comes to flower in sprays of white gold in the middle of March. And now we see forsyvthia around the Monument, that shower of little golden bells that commemorates Wil- liam ¥ vth, one-time gardener to his majesty King George the Third. The finest bank of forsythia in the city, the finest I have ever sgen, in- deed, is one between the Monument and the Bureau of Engraving. And the Japanese cherries have rioted their color. There is mnot a more magical sight it this country than the Monument seen from the Tidal Basin, with the cherries in the fore- ground and the Monument towering into a cloudless sky beyond. The Monument is not only the heart of th city; it is the heart of Washington’s Springtime. HOW-IT STARTED BY JEAN NEWTON.

Rub a lot of castile soap on a long-handled, rather stiff bath brush and scrub yourself all over from head to foot. I mean this literally; scrub face, mneck, back, your whole body, and most especially the backs of the shoulders, which usually are neglected and which break out in blackheads, and the feet, which need this daily stimulat- ing bath. Scrub hard, you cannot hurt your skin. The vigorous vibration of the bath brush’s bristles opens the pores, cleanses them of dirt and waste mat- ter. No amount of rubbing with a cloth will do this; no other way— except a Turkish or a Swedish bath —will so drain th¢ skin and so thor- Inug)lly clean it. As the skin dally i throws off poisons from the body and as the backing up of these poisons in the system will cause anything from bluckheads to real physical troubles, you can see how neces: it 15 to Kkeep these important chan- nels free to do their work. The daily scrubbing does more than that, it stimulates the skin into greater activity, so it can clear the body of more of this daily excess. The skin will become a clear. healthy color aguin, finer in texture than before, muddiness will disappear, The body will be healthier with an active skin. The proof lies in the trial. Jessie G.

Just a few drops will be all that is needed for this, and the least bit of rubbing with the finger tips.
