Vitamin A.To Treat Cal luses | J

tORNS and calluses are among the most prevalent of the minor discomforts which afflict civilized man. • v. j Most commonly due to ill-fit-ting; shoes, they may also result from certain occupations which involve persistent pressure or irritation of definite areas of the skin. The harpist, for instance, may develop calluses on tire fTn- . gers from the plucking of the strings of his instrument: tire mechanic, carpenter, or sportsman may have callusei on the hand from the grasping? of tools or athletic equipment. Corns are hardened areas of skin, having a -yellowish-white color. They have a core, .which is harder than the rest of the corn, and are often painful, especially with changes in the weather.' They may become tender when •pressed too hard. What are known as “hard” corns occur.. where the bones are prominent on the foot, especially on the toes. What are known as “soft” corns occur between the toes, and are generally whiter and softer. The prevention of corns is of greatest importance. Avoiding the irritation which causes the . com will cure most cases Many times •wearing properly-fitted shoes *IU : prevent the further formation of

ft is believed that a twelfth moon has been) discovered revolving around the planet Jupiter. The discovery is very interesting for astronomers and others who may ■' have been aware that Jupiter already waa known to have eleven moons. Jupiter would be quite a plate for poets and romancers, who do very well with only\ one mo&n. The astronomers, however, estimate that the temperature on .. the surface of the planet is 220degrees below zero, which spoils speculation as to how it might be if Jupiter, in addition to twelve moons; also had twelve months of June. ’ - I . _—o o Tjhe Department of Commerce reports that personal incomes were on the increase during six consecutive months and that in August the rate of increase was higher than for the five previous months. It also noted that the late summer rise in the %vel of incomes was largely the result of boosts for two groups, farmers and government workers. These r,ep<irts are fratifying, but it often is difficult to reconcile them witii one’s personal financial situation. . One explanation .is that the government figures are totalAand averages, and do not necessarily apply to any individual’s situation. Strangely ■ enough, the figures never seem to Apply »• us when dealing with rises in income, but always do when listing rising costa of living. . o— —o— — When one witnesses the joy and contentment shown by -persons who come from foreign lands Os terror and fear to (his country, ' one is greatly impressed with the humanitarian spirit bi Americans. Observations were made during an interview with an Hungarian couple who are making their home at Valley Farms, through the magnanimity of Mr. and Mrs. Stewart W. McMillen. Driven from ' their home in Budapest and with [ all earthly possessions confiscated by the Communists, the couple now live in a new world where . the thought of the future erases the hardships and sufferings Os , their by-gone days. Kindness of the McMillens who have provided the couple with food and a comfortable farm home have warmed -their; hearts with happiness apd gratefulness that words cannot ex- - pres#- The American families who arc providing homes and employment for these destitute people, are not only infusing suhshine in the lives of others, but are giving the country an example of a true Christian spirit.

However, in diabetics, corns should be carefully removed by an expert. , Varloas forms of salicylic acid have been used to remove corns. “Silver nitrate stick may be very helpful in treating corns.

This method of treatment should only be used ia Severe cases -and those not responding to other forms of treatment- It takes a few weeks before the vitamin A is of any help, and it should always be given under the care of a physician.

utiaxtejk mum-siA IT SHOULD have been spring, but tn thia northern clime winter had not begun to relent. Eden Blayde looked restlessly out at the gray snow, soiled and frigid, which lined the walks, at the leafless shrubs and trees. She was thinking that crocuses would be blooming now on Garden Hill and the cherry tree tn the back yard on Durham Street beginning to break out into a fuzz of white blossoms. The winter had been so long! Her rebellion had stretched till it was thin and cold as a taut wire, cutting sharply into her heart, but every day of her enduring had made surrender more difficult. She Celt a useless sense of detachment, of belonging nowhere. Then on an April day, when she knew that tulips would be blooming in the south, the postman waded the slush to the door and handed her a paper. She scanned it indifferently, then stared in startled surprise at an item on the society page. * Mr. Harrison Blayde, so ran the notice, Announced the marriage of his sister-in-law Laura Gallagher Blayde to Mr. James Chisholm Eliot. An informal reception had been given later by Mr. Harrison Blayde and his daughter Anne at the Blaydes* country home. \ “Country home 7” Eden almost screamed. What madness, what stupidity had Harrison done now? “I’ve got to go home," she announced to her Ulster breathlessly at supper. “Look at this! Heaven only knows where Harrie may have taken those children. I*ll take the plane tomorrow, just as soon as the bank opens.** “Maybe he bought your old honie back,” Marge suggested. “Maybe he’s planning for a surprise." “No, no. He’s made some insane trade or other! He’s still furious with me—and of course you can't blame him too much, but after all 1 did put up with a lot, Marge! Probably 1 was all wrong about Laura. Anyway, she’s marrying someone else." ' t “You could have been wrong all along, you know,” her sister observed wisely. “You always' did fly off the handle, Sis, when you didn’t get your way. Maybe it's time you grew up. Calm yourself before you start, for goodness* sake, for if you go home in a resentful state of mind you might as well stay here.” Eden packed, her mind seething With confusion. * Anne stood under a tall blossoming bush, wrinkling her nose and cuffing impatiently at a wandering bee who kept swinging too elose to her ear. “It looks like orange blossoms,” she said. “Why didn’t It bloom last week, the silly thing? It would have been so lovely -in that old red jar in the dining room, and smelled so sweet!

eng nere, uene, wiu you I Uig deep. I want a rosebush right in this spot—a pink one.” i | Deke groaned loudly as he thrust the spade into the mofst ground and tramped on It with a muddy shoe. Beneath the house was the cool, whitewashed cellar that Anne had restored herself, daubing doggedly with a wide brush, sitting down on a box to rest when her arm ached. Rows of shelves ran along a wall. There she pictured all the jars she would have when the garden grew. 's “A good thing Tve got a surplus of lumber,” Harrison had grunted while he nailed and sawed. “You won’t have — now that they’re going to build ’ the new school,” Anne reminded him. ’’Knotholes don’t matter down here. Save every foot you can use. Dad, so we can get rid of Joan Iglehart." It had been a' battle to make Joan sign an agreement to resell him all her stock in Blayde lumber as fast as he could redeem it But Harrison was thankful that he had stood fast on that point. NoW business was better, he could breathe freely. Gibson got up from his chair in the bank to shake his hand and Wilky had come out of her abysmal gloom. The planers and saws whined in the shop. Harrison had turned a little grim; the winter pad been bleak, Joan Iglehart had been a punishment hard to endure, he had been tormented continually by the sense of his own obstinacy, the nagging prick of his conscience. But not a line—not even a few words of appreciation for his Christnias check, though Eden had written effusively to Deke about a little bowl he had made in the manual-training shop. AR right, he told himself, if she wanted it that way! “She left of her own Record, Anne," he had said, trying not to let bitterness creep into his voice, "She has to come back of her own accord or not at all.” "But It was all silly. Couldn’t you write her, Dad 7 She doesn’t even know w.e bought this \ house. She thinks we’re still on Durham Street, where she hated ’ it, and that she hasn’t even a car, or anything.” “No." He could not look at. her, at her misted eyes, her shaken mouth* “No, I couldn’t, Anne.” Now he had to make a good life for his children. Next year Anne would go back to school and Deke would get more companionship from his father. If Eden wanted a divorce he would raise no protest. Instead he would provide for her, as long as she needed him, to the extent of his ability. He had become so static, so numbed in his mind that he did not feel much any more—only the richness of this soil under his old shoes... A yellow taxi grunted ud into

Hey, it’s Mom!” Harrison heard Anne give a little moaning cry, "Oh —oh— it s Mother!” as she went limping away like a little lame oriole over the mowed grass. He saw Deke jerkidg bags out of the taxi, and Anne hurrying, and Eden in gray, with her hat knocked one-sided, reaching out her arms. And presently into the crying, exclaiming, clutching group he walked slowly, to his wife, his dear love—lost so long, sb. long a stranger. He said, “Hello, hon,” casually, braced for any "hostility in hex eyes, braced for anything. She hurled herself at him wailing, "Oh, Harrie! Oh, Harrie!” Anne clung to them both and Deke yelled, ”Hey, Pop, you’re crying!" "Sure, sure,” gulped Harrison, patting Eden doggedly on the back and murmuring, “Now, sugar! Now, sweet! It’s all right now.” It was when calm had returned for. a bit, that Eden looked about her. “Harrie, what in the world? Away over here —across the tracks! I couldn’t believe It. I had to call up Wilky. 1 didn’t know where to find you at all.” Anne said raptly, encompassing the slope, the grass and trees, the far view with one wide gesture, “Don’t' you love it, Mother 7 Don’t you simply love it? Look, the tulips, are coming up! And hurry and see the house. We did it all ourselves —well, most of it anyway. The boys from the plant helped us." Harrison lingered at the door, aware of his shoes with \ the raw earth clinging to them, aware of the faded old shirt he wore and the smudges of earth on his hands. Eden turned and something sprang between them, something that was half a prayer And half a promise, something that held to the past and forgave the past, took the present and found-it good. He held out his arms, sweatsoaked and stained with grime, and she came into them, sobbing a little and laughing, and trembling. Against the Wall Anne went with, her face upturned and tears running • into her mouth unheeded while Deke scrubbed his nose on his sleeve and sniffled. “I’m home," Eden said "Oh,, Harrie, Pm home.” ■ "The kitchen is kind of small," he ventured, “and the wind blows out here sometimes!—” Tm home,” she repeated. \ "We’re all here, we’re all at home." Harrison went out to the porch later -■ and stood alone, dragging heavily on a cigaret. Here was his castle, here was his earth. This was his holy hill.
