I find ninety-nine women out of a hundred have taken just such or kindred liberties with their pedal extremi- ties, and once the ‘feet have been thus tampered with they never quite recover. Massage s a wonderful method for #00thing the aches of feet that have been improperly shod, as well as for the pain that comes from overexertion, long walk- ing or standing. To give tired feet restful, delightful mas- sage the operator need not be an expert masseuse. The process begins with an application of a quieting lotion to the foot by the hand of the opetator. Arnica di- luted with warm water will prove a sim- ple and soothing application. After the lotion has dried rub the foot gently, using a good toflet cream or ofl of sweet almonds. Always draw the blood from the ankle or instep to the toes. Sup- ort the instép or ball of the foot with the eft hand while rubbing with the right, using the downward movement on. the ou!lgo of foot and ankle. A rotary mo- tion on the instep Is also very restful. All the nerves start from the feet, which should be treated the same as the head— removing the shoes and elevating the feet to a comfortable Jmmtlon—not too high. The foot-should never be massaged without using a little oll or cream. 'or. a tender foot which ires too freely always use ofl, alcohol and ammonia combined, one ounce of ofl, two ounces of alcohol and’ons tablespoonful of ammo- nia.

They ful trouble called ingrowing toenail. The best shoe is that which is long and broad, with the sole projecting as much as one- elghth of an inch beyond the foot. Avoid extremely sharp-pointed shoes. Happily they are no longer in fashion, and the woman who has a square foot need not pinch her toes in order to be correct. For tired and tender feet try bathing them in hot water into which a hig hand- ful of sea salt lias been dissolved. Let the feet remain in the water fifteen minutes. Dry and rub the soles with a half-lemon. The relief is most grateful. Either one of these two formulas will be found effective for excess perspiration: No. 1—Oleate of zinc, one-half once: powdered starch, one ounce; salicylic acid, one scruple. No. 2—Beta-naphthol, one-half drachm; distilled witch hazel, four ounces. Apply well to the skin. The following formulas represent good sprescriptions for the treatment of corns and bunions:- No. 1—Borate of sodium, one drachm; extract of cannabis, one scruple; collo- dion, one ounce. Paint over the corn or bunion every day once or twice, and after five or six applications the superficial growth can be scraped off. No. 2—Salicylic acid, one drachm; co- calne, flve grains; collodion, one-half cunce. Paint over the corn or bunion twice a day, and scrape away the super- ficial growth et the end of three or four ys.

We recall instantly the little child with eyes so gentle, so fearless and affection- ate, and that reflect our every emotion. We smile at the dimpled faces, the chubby little forms of the bables whom we know, but occasionally we see a little child who is a positive distortion of infancy, and perhaps we wonder only that babyhood can be so unattractive. I happen to know a little child may be physically trained into great beauty, even with the most meager equipment, and every time I see a little tot with hideously outstanding ears I long to reach its moth- er and beg her to make sightly features of thess almost monstrous and unneces- sary deformities. There {8 no sense In permitting a child to grow up with aural appenda looking like oyster shells rudely atached to the sides of the head.

ALWAYS DOWNWARD wrmn.\w Nothing destroys the symmetry of the head as these outstanding and distorted ears. No girl can grow up to be a beautiful maiden, no boy can ever be at his best, ‘whose ears are literally deformities. Beginning with the day of its birth a baby's ears should receive attention. If the nurse understands her profession she will take care always to see that the lit- tle ear is folded back against the side of the head when the infant reclines upon one side. When the baby lles upon its back she will see that even tife softest pillow does not press the ear out from the side of the head. Such care as this will always result in a prettily formed ear lying close to the head, as nature intended. ‘Where the child has been neglected in infancy it takes more time and it takes more skill to coax the ear into the habit of lying close to the head. For this purpose the skeleton ear cap ‘was devised about fiffeen years ago and is in almost universal use In England. This little cap may be purchased for a ——————————trifle, or an ingenious mother may make one of straps of linen tape held together by bits of elastic tape, which allows the necessary flexibility. It is conceded that a. straight nose comes nearer to the accepted standard of beauty than any other, and a flat pug nose is certainly very ugly. If mothers and nurses will but take heed there need be no pug-nosed children. It Is a curious fact, but one which will be corroborated by all who pay attention to t'.e matter, that persons with upturned noses invariably use their handkerchiefs with an upward flourish whenever they have occasion to use them at all, and that those with turned down noses cultivate the very opposite manner of handkerchief etiquette. Now, nothing can be much uglier than the first mentioned habit, also noth’rg sé potent in helping the pug to do its v rst. Now the nose may be really modeled it the baby to whom it belongs is caught early enough. A babdy's nose is very much like a bit of putty. It has no bone, and it will respond to.pressure daily applied of a very wise and knowing thumb and forefinger. Theres is not a mother In the universe who can- not make a nice, straight little nose out of the most hopeless baby pug If she will several times a day, by the means of the thumb and forefinger, press the diminu- tive organ into the shape it should have. The baby whose picture has been used to illustrate this article had the slim- mest excuse for a nose I have ever seen, but I produced on this unhappy infant's countenance in the course of two years, and that was longer than it usually takes, I BY VENTLE PREJJURE THE HEAD MADE SYMMETRICAL. - & very respectable, nice Iittle nosa Frequently I see a child with a one- sided, lumpy head, and I know that I have before me a poor little creature who has been robbed of his birthright, phys- ical symmetry. Many infants present themselves to & more or less admiring family on the occa~ sion of their first appearance with dis- tressingly distorted and bumpy heads. There are physical reasons for these ec- centric looking little pates, and nature will assert her authority without other assistance In most cases. Occasionally the little head falls to aequire a proper roundness, and then the hands of the mother or nurse should assist in smeeth- ing away the unnatural and disfiguring lumps. ‘Where the head Is long and narrow and one-sided, a gentle pressure of the hands with a movement from the chin to the top of the head will often repair this distor- tion in a few weeks’ time. The pressure should be firm, never hard, and never painful to the infant. The human countenance is of very flax- ibie material and little children who are allowed to make grimaces very scoa show the effect of facial lines that later on destroy the harmony and beauty of the countenance One cannot begin too early to oppose and counteract all such habits in children. So far as the mouth is concerned th form of this feature depends greatly up the care bestowed upon the teeth in baby- hood.
