Therefore, accurately fitted. footwear isimportant to comfort and beauty since no one can appear beau- tiful when each painful step etches a woebegone expression into the face. ' Callouses, because they are not painful in the early stages, mislead one into believing that they are not harmful, but contant friction causes them to thicken and then the centre of the .callous takes root and grows down into the sensitive skin, thus forming a corn. An effective treatment for callouses follows. Add one ounce of magnesium sulphate to each quart of warm, water used then bathe the feet in this s olu- 11on for fifteen minutes. A pumice stone should then be rubbed lightly over the callous to remove any dead skin. Dry the feet well and using a fine camels Bair brush apply the fol- lowing solution to the callous spots only. Three and one-half. drams of alcohol, thirty grains of saliclic acid, ten grains of extract of cannabis in- dica and .one and a half drams of col- lodion. This formula should be pre- pared by a pharmacist. On the sec- ond and third night apply the above preparation over that already on the callous. Then on the 'fourth night, bathe the feet in, magnesium solution and repeat the treatment. When callouses have become actual corns the feet should be bathed .as mentioned above. Then ctry theta and using a sterilized razor blade, pare off the outer layer of dead coar- se' skin and apply the corn remedy compounded: from the formula given here: One. dram of salicylic acid, two drams of ether, two drains ,of flexible collodion and ten grains of extract of cannabic indica. Apply with a fine camel's hair brushand only to the corn itself. This is important as arty prepartion strong enough to remedy callouses or corns is too strong for the surrounding skin. ` Unmedicated corn or bunion pads should be placed over . the sensitive spot so that all pressure and friction is eliminated, thus hastening the ef- fects of thecorrective treatment. It may require a little time to en- tirely ricl the feet of unsightly cal- louses or corns, but care and atten- tion must be given if you are to have foot comfort.

Flowers Should Be Spotted. Although a profusion of blooming flowers is delightful if a large plot: of grass is surrounded by them or if they are set at intervals in a'beauti- fully kept lawn they will be mach more lovely than if the entire space is covered with thein. To the gardener with little space one of the hardest problems to meet is the planting of flowers so that there will be blossoms all through the season.

"There is now a superabundance nd once of both for- eign erau eign and native fuels for all `pur- poses. Coke, British anthracite, lova volatile coals, and fuel oil are strong competitors of American anthraci.e in the household fuel trade, and the range of Alberta and Maritime coals is being extended through special' provisions to Ontario and Quebec. Though still using large quantities of American anthracite, we are no long- er entirely dependent on this fuel, the producers of which are.now fight- ing _here to retain a declining mar- ket, as they are in their own coun- try.,, A comparative table of the fuels used indomestic • heating in Ontario and Quebec in the two years under review follows' Imports of American anthracite: 1923, 4,753,872 tons; 1927, 3,073,- 033 tons. Imports of British : anthracite: 1923, 207,282; 1927, 720,203. Coke consumer for domestic heat- ing: 1923, 270,000; 1927, 812,000. Low volatile coals: 1923, 180,000; 1927,386,000. After deeeribinS the investigations undertaken by the Fuel Board, the preface says: "Although the use of `alternative fuels has contributed to , a reduced dependence upon American coals, the problein of Canada's complete fuel independence is still unsolved.- The geographic handicap consequent on the location of our largest markets far from. our great producing fields, butin close proximity to those of, the United States, is nide difficult to over- come. "The Dominion Fuel Board cannot assume as its function the formula- tion of a national fuel policy, for this is a prerogative of Government, and .any such policy, so far as it concerns complete fuel independence, must be determined largely by questions of national expediency, based, however, upon the mostcomplete and accurate knowledge of all technical and econ- omic facts obtainable. The board. is 'endeavoring to secure and correlate these fa.c s. "The most important point still to be determined is the cost of trans- porting eoal to Ontario and Quebec from Alberta and the Maritime Pro- vinces, and to the Board of Railway Commissioners has been assigned the duty of determining this point by actual test. e.11 the available technical data having been secured, the economic aspect of -the problem has to be 'fac ed, and on this aspect great diversity of opinion has prevailed. "Manifestly, coal cannot be hauled 2,000 miles from Alberta to Ontario at a cost lower than that of carrying it 500 miles to the same market from Pennsylvania and Virginia. Never- theless, it has been maintained that the advantages to Canada of increas- ed use of her transportation facili- ties, increased output of her mines, and consequent greater employment of labor,would more than compen- sate for the difference in transport- ation costs. The. problem is one on which economists hold strongly diver- gent views, and ` on which the board is seeking further light." And the firs sip will convince you it is best. E Fresh from the gardens' $ withcomfort you may be sure that the callouses and corns are gone until such time as ill-fitting shoes or `'hose are worn again. ' Vascular cords are composed •of :tiny, blood vessels and resemble the wart' in appearance. These require special care and I suggest that you place your feet "in the hands" of a reliable chiropodist.

Therefore, for health and beauty, choose footwear that fits the foot snuggly but not tightly:. And remem- ber that shoes and hose which ,are too large cause just as much trouble as those that are too small. DO YOU KNOW'THAT? 1.
