TREATING THE CROUP.
Perhaps nine children out of ten
who die at croup might be saved by
timely application of Oast onions,
mashed, laid upon a folded napkin,
With goose oil, or even lard, poured
on rind applied as warm as van be
comfortably borne, to the throat and
upper part of the chest. and to the
feet and hands, or the onions may be
Weed, boiled in soft water until al-
most dry, wben they are cooked In
grease until browned.
Probably no part of the human
body receives so little care as tbe
feet; arid yet how necessary is their
well being. Shoes that aro either
too large or too small produce
corns. 'When these first appear, rub
them with pumice stone. Treat in
.the same way the callous spots that
form on the bottom and sides of
the feet. Should the corn be very
sore, soak ttle foot in warm water
and then. apply comphorated vaseline.
In paring a. corn a very sharp knife
should be used, and the operation
most .eautiously conducted. A poul-
tice of bread crumbs soaked half an
hour in vinegar will often. remove a
corn in a night.
Bunions should be rubbed with
lanoline and then protected by a
piece of oil silk. Ingrowing toenails
may be checked and cured by forcink
back the flesh from the nail and in-
serting a tiny wad of lint under
the edge of the nail. When the neXt
toe presses the flesh down on the
nail, bind the two toes together
with adhesive plaster, so as to pre-
• vent the pressure in the wrong place.
For perspiring feet, bathe the feet
In water containing a little borax
and then powder with lysopodium.
For tired •or aching feet use a hot
• salt water bath and rub the feet, dry
with a rough towel. Swollen feet
and ankles are benefited by a bath
in water in which wood -ashes have
been boiled, the water being strained
• before it is used.
For women with sensitive feet that
blister easily, a simple remedy is to
rub the sole of the stockings with
castile soap, and to soften the soap
• in water and rub it Over the bottom
and sides of the feet.
Chillblains ca:n be cured by persist-
ent bathing night and morning with
• witch hazel. A poultice of wasted
turnip is recommended for obstinate
cases. Three parts vinegar and one
part camphorated brandy is a pre-
ventive of chillblains used during
the fall months and before cold
weather comes.

"We had $281,000 odd, sir," said
Wilson quietly.
"Well, then, this report -is erron

"No," said Wilson, "the report is
correct. It shows the exact cash
balance in the bank's hands at the

"Well, then, where is the Sifter-

Wilson straightened up and glanc-

tling his gaze upon the chairman,
said quietly: •
"I took it, sir,"
The members of the Board started
as if Shot. .
"You -took it?" they gasped in
one voice.
"I took it," said Wilson, firmly.
