HEALTH NOTES.

To remove warts take a potato scrape it and make a poultice; tie it on the wart at bed dine. Do this twice a week for three or four weeks and the wart will disappear and leave no mark. Corns really are warning signs that we are illtreating our feet, either by wearing tight shoes which in time deform the bones of the feet or by wearing shoes which permit the foot to chafe, thus submitting the surface of the foot to intermittent pressure. Dark rings under the eyes show that the body in one way or another is being overtaxed by worry, or that the physical system is deranged. Lack of rest, late hours, or an irregularity of the kidneys will bring those gray, heavy lines. Drink plenty of water every day; get out of doors regularly; look after the diet and get to bed early. The woman who does her own housework is usually worn out at the end of the day. She is apt to conclude therefore that exercise is not a word intended for her. She could hardly make a greater mistake, however. A woman needs a half hour’s rest near the middle of the day, it is true, but she needs also systematic and stimulating exercise. One reason why women are so fatigued at the end of the day is that they lack muscle tone. Halt an hour of brisk exercise suited to the particular needs of each individual, and taken regularly followed by a cold dash of water, will serve to keep the whole muscular and nervous system in- tone. It also works wonders in keeping eyes bright and color good, something that all women desire. i
