.The San Francisco Sunday, Call
•w v O YOU remember, wtoen yoa
I 1 were & Kttle girl, hearing the
:' JLy very moral tale about the child
who had "ten little servants"
.to work for her, which,. after, all, turned
oat to be her ten pink little* fingers?
"Well, you may ba cure that you have
two willing, uncomplaining and efficient
servants always at your beck and call
—your two very useful feet. To keep
: tjie«» servants In health, to beautify
them end to give them proper atten
tion should be the aim of every woman
who cares at all for her feelings or htr
•ppearaace.
. Pew feet are beautiful naturally; tho*
wearing has stopped all that: and if we
all west back to the barefoot fad. In
stead of only a few of. us, one shudders
to think of the esthetic consequences.
But there la no reason why the feet
which nature has given us should not
be kept as well shaped and smooth of
ek]n &s possible, even If no one but our
selves Is aware of their attractiveness.
First of all, never we&r shoes too
short or too tight or with too high
heels. Nothing so effectually ruins a
foot. If your feet are too long, wear
a ehort -vamped, laced shoe; If too short
and fat, a long-vamped one. buttoned
cr laced at the side. White shoes make
your feet look larger; black, smaller.
If your ankles are stout, wear hlgh
. clocked stockings. Try always to have
colored slippers at least one 6hade
darker than the gown with which they
jare worn.
.• When the feet are tired and ache and
burn, bathe them In hot salt water (the
sea salt which comes in bags at about 10
. cents «ach Is best). Soak the feet and
:<lash the water upon them, drying aft
' crwiard with a Turkish towel. Either
alum, borax or lemon juice In the water
.•will do almost as well as the salt.
\u25a0 It Is just when your feet are mojt
•tfr^d — in the evening — by the way, that
v»u should try on new shoes. The feet
«je then as large as they ever are go
ing to be (for walking increases their
' Wze). ar.d th*» shoes that fit then will be
comfortable always.
; It 5s hardly necessary to crge strict
cleanliness. I hope. Still, a. woman I
know to be refined and well educated
raid to me the other day. when I praised
the comfort and wearing qualities of
nry suede pumps. "Oh, I never wear
j>umps: they make your feet so dirty
*th.al you have to wash them every day."
. A remark like that ought to be rele
gated to -the dark ages. l'\?~L
• Callous .spots are most common of foot
Ilia. The best thing to do is to rub well
with clean sandpaper. Do not be afraid
of -hurting your foot; callous skin is
thick, and you will not reach the true
akin, which contains the nerves. Sand
?aper will also remeve the hard ridges
ormed over rhe instep by too tightly
laced fshoes; and be careful not to let it
occur again when onoe cured. '• " '
For a «oft corn, eprfnkle powdered
«iluan on lint or some such soft maie
r'al as an old handkerchief, and bind
loosely overnight. If the corn is be
tween the toes, put the aiutn on ab
•rwbent cotton, lightly but firmly wedged
4nto the afflicted spot. Cotton soaked in
turpentine is also Kt>oa\
Bunions are usually caused by an ill
f.ttlnfr shoe, and the cause must be re
moved before the cur© ca.n be complete.
This done, brush th© bunion every day

PEOPLE WHO IMPOSE
THE bablt of allowing others to
furnish, amusetnent, entertain
ment and some of the neces
saries of everyday Hfe Is one
that is so easily formed and grows In
force with such alarming rate that it
Is one of the" prevalent types of minor
evils that mar our social happiness.
People who impose are perhaps among
your friends. You know the person
who uses your telephone as if it were a .
public convenience, and does not hesi
tate to rout the owner out of slumber
to convey a message of slight impor
tance to a friend a few blocks away. A
few of these favors are all right, but
when the habit of Inconveniencing others
becomes the rule, then that person. at
the freehand let me add, comfortable
end of the wire Is imposing.
Then there is the woman that imposes*
en iher neighbor by borrowing a little
*ugar, a few spoonfuls of flour and Just

At social affairs— picnics, bazars or

They offer no helping halid, but in

Imposing on good nature, i; do not
know whether these people feel any
discomfiture far down below the surface;

lude others into doing more than their

that you were not candid and truth
ful about the whole affair is enough
to arouse their anger. Why don't you
ask their forgiveness' for your dis
loyalty to them-. and then ask their

young, and it is better to weigh the)

the foot should be soaked in water as
hot as can be borne and the softened
corn cut away with a knife which has
been -immersed In carbolic add and
dried with a clean piece of absorbent
cotton. Blood poisoning Is the penalty
of lack of care In dealing with a corn.
For a not-too-obstinate corn, wool
soaked in castor oil, or a poultice of
breadcrumbs soaked In vinegar thirty
minutes, is an excellent cure. They are
especially good if the corn is tender to
the touch.
Feet that are sensitive and easily
Irritated should be washed in cold water
to harden them, rubbed dry and mop
ped with a solution of a half ounce of
salicylic acid to 4 ounces of alcohol.
Dry by dusting with rice powder, which
does not clog up the pores like talcum
• powder.
Ingrowing toenalls are a painful
source of irritation. They may be pre
vented by cutting the nails square In
stead of in a rounded shape. To cure
the evil already present, try applying to
the Infected parts a solution or len parts
of guttapercha to eighty parts of chlo
roform. Use about four times the first
day, and then gradually less often until;
the flesh is hardened and forced back.
Another cure Is to loosen the flesh, cut
the nail and moisten 'the spot with,
perchlorate of iron.
Many persons have feet that perspire
too freely. Bathe the feet twice daily,
once in mustard water, and dust on a
powder consisting of 60 grams of tal
cum. 45 grams of subnitrate of bismuth.
13 grams of permanganate of potash
and 2 grams of salicylate of soda.
An occasional rub In cologne or pure
alcohol refreshes the feet wonderfully,
and should be given after a long, hard
walk. Try wearing slippers In the
house; that also relieves tired feet and
is but a fitting, reward to the slaves
who have served you so well.
hair will remain in curl, for some hair
is more obstinate than others. Do not
allow the hair to hang after applying
the preparation, but arrange it in the
customary manner.
To Apply Tannin '
i Dear Mrs. Symes. .

was good for reducing the lips. Will you

eight ounces of water. Apply to the lips
daily with a bit of absorbent cotton.
Cause and Cure
Dear Mrs. Symes.
. Will you kindly publish a cure, and yet
one which \a not Injurious to the skin, far
freckles? Is there such a thing as "liver
freckles"? What really causes freckles and
what should be avoided to get rid of
them ? If It were not \u25a0 for my freckles I
would have a very good complexion
FRECKLEFACED.
The following is a recipe for an excel
lent freckle cure and will not harm tha
skin: - >.
Citric add (1em0n)................... 3 drams
Hot water 11 ounces
Borax 2 drains
Bed rose petals .* 1 ounce
Glycerin 1 ounce
Dissolve the acid and borax In the water;
Infuse the petals for an hour; strain through
a Jelly bag after twenty-four hours: decant
the clear portion and add the glycerin.
Apply as often as agreeable.
- I suppose "liver freckles" is a nam»
applied to the brown spots which appear
on the skin, caused by a disordered
" liver. "v •-
Freckles are caused by an Increase of
. coloring matter In the dennis, or under
. layer of the skin. To avoid having them
one must protect the face from the sun *
. and wind, as the action of either one on
the skin is what heightens the pigments
