Breadcrumbs should always be used
for covering articles for frying, as
eracker crumbs absorb the grease.

Remedy For Frosted Feet
And Inflamed Bunions
Few people get through life without
knowing something of the torture of
frosted feet or bunions. Children are
particularly susceptible to the former,
but grownups are by no means exempt,
writes a correspondent of the National
Stockman. After suffering and trying
many tilings we have found a so far
never failing remedy for both chil
blains and bunions, and not the least
of its virtues Is the fact that it is both
simple and inexpensive.
Half fill a four ounce bottle with ker
osene oil and put Into it an ounce of
gum camphor crushed fine. Keep tight
ly corked and shake occasionally until
the camphor dissolves, then apply free
ly to the affected part as required, sim
ply allowing it to dry in. In the writ
er's case throe or four applications en
tirely and permanently relieved the dis
tressing itching and soreness resulting
from badly frosted feet
Another member of the family had a
bunion of many years' standing so
large and sore that in cold weather she
was sometimes unable to wear a shoe.
Now, with an occasional application of
this simple remedy she has little or no
discomfort and we have given it to
others similarly afllicted with the same
happy results. It will also relieve soft
corns and aching feet and will not blis
ter.

Animals love their masters, but men

To spend time arguing with a fool is

When we look some of the grooms
over we do not wonder that their vic

After examining the contents the

"What's it worth?" asked the seedy

"Oh, about $4 a ton in carload lots."

GAUDY PAUPERS.
Beggar Women of Vigo, 8paln, Sport
Elaborate Gold Earrings.
Perhaps you labor under the delusion
that the principal vocation In life of a
handkerchief is to attend at discreet
intervals the nose when that necessary
feature indulges in a little Marathon.
Not so in Vigo, Spain. Yet handker
chiefs are much more In evidence in
this quaint Spanish seaport than in
our nasal Yankee midst.
Here, however, they are raised to an
exalted position far ahead of their
plain usage of the western world. In
Vigo they cover the head of every peas
ant woman and even the infants in
arms. What matter if the child lacks
shoes, if even a scanty slip is its sole
sartorial effect? Always its head is
carefully muffled from any advances of
the sun by a bright hued handkerchief
carefully knotted under its tender in
fantile cliin.
A Paisley shawl and a pair of elabo
rate filigree gold earrings are the two
other necessary adjuncts of a typical
Vigoesque toilet. In the earring fash
ion as well as the handkerchief one
the infants of Vigo invariably share.
The toddlers not oniy have big ears,
but they are also gold trimmed.
Even pauper women In filthy rags
begging by the roadside have ears or
nate with golden baubles flaunted in
the face of poverty.
The tatters of these few beggars are
the surprisingly few evidences of dirt
you detect in this picturesque little fish
ing village. With its steep, straggling
'cobble streets climbing up characteris
tic Spanish steps to the top of its for
tress topped mount it seems almost a
spotless town after the unspeakable
sights and smells of Bahia.—Pittsburgh
Press.
CALLED* THEM INDIANS.
How the Red Men of This Country
Came to Get That Name.
"But," said the little girl who has
now reached the dignity of owning a
geography, "why did they call the peo
ple they found in this country 'Indi
ans?' The people who live in India
ought to be called by that name."
Now, that was a very appropriate
question for the little girl to ask. And
the ^nswer to the little girl and to any
other little girls and boys who may be
puzzled by the same thing is that Co
lumbus and his men didn't start out to
discover America. They didn't, of
course, know there was any America
here. What they did believe was that
the world was round and that by sail
ing far enough they would come up on
the other side. You all know now that
what they believed is true, but in those
days most people believed that the
world was flat and that if a ship sailed
far enough out into the ocean it would
fall off the edge.
Columbus said that if he took c ship
and sailed and sailed he would at last
come to India. Now, India was a very
rich country, and for hundreds of years
Europe had been trying to find an
easier way to get there, so what Co
lumbus said appealed to a good many
merchants and traders, and Spain final
ly fitted out some ships for Columbus.
You all know that Columbus finally
did reach America, but he believed he
had sailed clear around the world and
had come to India from the other side,
so he named the people he found on the
shore "Indians." And after It was
found that this was not India, but a
new world, people went on calling the
people Indians because that was as
good a name as any for them, they
thought—Kansas City Star.
English Is Bad Enough.
"Why talk of the difficulty of pro
nouncing Polish, Austrian, Russian or
Roumanian names," says a writer In
the San Francisco Chronicle, "when
ninety-nine out of every hundred can
not pronounce scores and scores of
English names? Just think of Bertie
pronounced as Barty, Dilwyn as Dillon,
Belvoir as Beever, Featherstonhaugh
as Festunhaw, Dalzell as Dee-el, Ruth
ven as Rivven. And these are by no
means the worst cases!"
Man's Perversity.
If the law were to edict that man
and wife should never'be together for
more than six months in the year it
would be broken every day and men
and women would stand hunger and
stripes to come together for twelve
months in twelve; if love of home were
made a crime a family life would arise
more touching than anything Queen
Victoria ever dreamed.—W. L. George
In Atlantic.
Happily Disposed Of.
"Mr. Beats," the grocer said wearily,
"I ask you for the last time, will you
pay that $20 you owe me?"
"For the last time?" Beats replied
cheerfully. "I'm glad to hear you say
that, old man, You know, I was get
ting awfully tired of hearing you ask
that foolish question!" — New York
Times.
An Old Coat.
My coat and I live comfortably to
gether. It has assumed |}1 my wrin
kles, does not hurt me anywhere, has
molded itself on my deformities and is
complacent to all my movements, and
I only feel its presence because it keeps
me warm. Old coats and old friends
are the same thing.—Hugo.
Too Few.
Hub (during the spat)—I don't be
lieve in parading my virtues. Wife—I
don't see how you could. It takes
quite a number to make a parade.—
