4 B THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: APRIL 25', 1920 Notes About The Biennial A PRESS luncheon and confer ence will be a feature of Fri day, June 18, and will be held in the Venetian room at Hotel Savery. Mrs. Edwin Knapp, press chairman of the G. F. W. G, will preside at the luncheon at which Miss Georgia Bacon of Worchester, Mass., first vice president; Mrs. Thomas G. Winter of Minneapolis, ( second vice president; Miss Helen Louise Knapp, editor of the G. F. V. C. magazine and others will speak. Philander P. Claxton, United States commissioner of education, w ill he one of the speakers for the education department on a special program devoted to the subject of the value of the kindergarten. To make every penny buy some thing that women really need and want and to utilize it to the best possible extent as though it were money itself is the great message that the thrift committee of the G. K. W. C. is stressing in its spring campaign. The reorganization of the working policy of the general federation is to be worked out at this convention. Mrs. Robert Burdctte of Pasadena, Cal has arranged a plan and it was approved by the executive board of the organization. This plan will be presented for approval at the con vention in Des Moines. Inquiries are being made repeat edly concerning the housing of visit ors to the convention who are not delegates. All visitors will be equally welcome and many rooms will be accessible outside the hotels as a moderate price of $1 per night or $1.50 for night and breakfast. These rooms are being listed by the ways and means committee of the Des Moines Federation of Women's clubs and will be for the most part in homes of club women. Application for such rooms should be made through the hotels com mittee, Mrs. W. H. Snider, 900 Fleming building, chairman, and are being offered not alone to Iowa women, but to women from other states as well. The hotels committee regrets that , tvti j tiuu nuiuoji 111 1111. tv'iiiiv.u States who wishes to visit Des Moines in June cannot be given "a , room alone, with bath, and at the headquarters hotel," but those who must go outside will be well cared for and made most comfortable.

"These high heels are a grand old thing for us," said one of these friends of the troubled pedestrian. "My mail never had so many calls for relief from the woes of the footsore and weary as the last few months have seen." Costs Wrinkles and Pain. High heels are the temptation of temptations. No matter how nor mally sized a woman's feet may be, she would have them appear smaller. And there's no denying that feet are daintier appearing in a heel of the above description; but what's the use of acquiring the excessive dainti ness at the cost of wrinkles and a pained body and possibly distorted feet. If you want to be convinced of what these heels actually do to the feet, you might have an X-ray taken af the foot in one and note the dis placed bones and ligaments. Or a simple home test: Take a block of wood or pile up a couple of books and set the heel at that height. Isn't it rather ridiculous, when you think of it, to send missionaries to China to tell the heathen Chinee how sinful it is to strap and bind the feet of girls, when young women of our own national persuasion mince around on a pair of shoes comparable in proportion? Only Shoes to Blame. The folly of it is that the troubles are not the trifling ills of a mis placed vanity. The general vigor and general health are impared when anything that interferes with foot and leg ease is adopted. In almost every instance foot troubles have only shoes and one's bad sense in the choice of them to blame. They are responsible for corns, callosities, jammed and crowded toes, ingrowing toe nails, flat feet, bunions, broken arches, perspiring feet and cold feet, the lat ter due to inability of the blood to circulate freely. The heel may vary from an inch to an inch and a half, according to the requirements of the feet around the instep, and so long as it does not develop into a high heel that does not upset the rational center of grav ity. "Tip" from the Axmy. Now, for a few remedies for the innumerable complaints suggested by my. correspondence: .To avoid blisters at the heels ii IU m THE word "Profiteer" is pop ular in theses days of high prices. It is applied impartially, re gardless of the true facts in the case. Laun derers have been accused, in common with other lines of business. Few stop to think what the Launderers have to pay for labor, supplies and service to. cust6mers, today, against what they paid two years ago. Take a few of the many items used in Laundries, for instance: Soap cost 6c lb. in 1918, now 18c lb. Cotton sheeting 40c yd. in 1918, now $1.65 yd. Starch $3.50 per hundred in 1918, now $10.00. Paper boxes $19.00 per 1 ,000 in 1918, now $34.00, and so on down the line. The average increase since 1918 in the price of supplies is 350. Labor, during the same period, has increased over 100. Cost of service, i. e., delivery, has increased more than 100. On the other hand, the prices of laundry work have increased an i. average of only 36 during the same t period. In the light of these facts, the launderers, assuredly, cannot be r- accused of profiteering. s Our experience is duplicated in every home laundry. You, Mrs. Housekeeper, can readily compare what it costs you for soap, starch and other supplies two years ago with what you pay now. Compare also what you paid for labor then and now. Add to this the annoyance, worry and care of the weekly wash day and you will, agree it pays you in time, money and pleasure, to Ii 2 3 II Send if cunJni Omaha Launderers Association m a frequent happening on adopting low shoes is the army "tip" of rub bing into the fiber of the stocking at the heel a little castile soap or other bland soap. This has been found to be the best means of pre venting friction. Incidentally, for the "walker" this is a good "tip." If you find that your foot muscles or leg muscles ache after walking or standing your arches are flatten ing. If you take them in time you may spare yourself much discom fort and pain. Orthopedists use in mild cases of broken arches a couple of strips of adhesive plaster six or seven inches long and bind the foot at the instep, which serves to keep the arches from spreading and flat toning . out and, incidentally pro vides' a certain degree of comfort. After the warm bath at night plunge the feet in cold water and rub them briskly with a coarse towel. Then exercise them for five minutes, ris ing up and down on tip toe; then (-iH;nf toes under the foot and rais i n 'hem up and muter. Then stand with big toes touching and raise and lower the body alternately. For Perspiring Feet. A drying powder for the feet is corn starch and boric acid, equal parts, dusted over the feet and into the shoes. Another simple remedy is alum dusted on the feet. For more serious cases of perspiring feet bathe them night and morning, changing stockings daily; then sup ply freely a solution of alcohol and salicylic acid in the proportions of one quart of alcohol to one table spoon of salicylic acid. To help ease a tight shoe, dust talcum powder inside the shoe. For an inflamed bunion, a hot foot bath, followed by a hot compress of witch hazel, will afford relief. If that is not sufficient to give relief, paint the affected part with carbolic acid, iodine, and glycerine two diams of each. In its early stages the displaced joint may be worked back in place with methodical manipulation of the toe to strengthen the muscles and bind it at night with a light splint back into normal place. If badly displaced an operation is ne cessary. Refreshing to Weary Feet. An alcoholic rub will be found re freshing to weary feet. If they are swollen give them a foot bath in which is dissolved one ounce of alum, two ounces of rock salt, and two ounces of borax. For burning and itching feet wash in boracic acid and dust witli bo racic acid powder. Boracic acid, in the main, is used in the advertised remedies for feet troubles. For calluses use a hand pumice stone, rubbed vigorously after bath ing the feet ADVERTISEMENT No More Corn Suffering "Gets-It" Never Leaves Corn On Any Foqt For Very Long.

ADVERTISEMENT To Banish Night-Made Wrinkles in Morning When cne gets up in the morning after a troublesome, sleepless night, haggard and worn, with the tell-tale lines and wrin kles, and dark circles under the eyes, here's the thing to quickly make one normal look ing and presentable. Bathe the face in a simple lotion made by dissolving an ounce of powdered saxolite in a half pint of witch hazel. Almost immediately there is a wonderful transformation. One effect is to tighten the skin and obliterate the wrin kles and lines, likewise puffiness under the eyes. The face looks and feels bright and refreshed, as though insomnia's victim had just awakened from a beauty sleep. Any druggist can supply saxolite and witch hazel, of course, and any woman can easily make this harmless and splendid facial rejuvenator. ADVERTISEMENT Red Blood for Pale People! A big supply of red blood corpuscles is what helps to make any man or woman have a healthy, pink complexion and cherry red lips. Resort to paint and powder are totally unnecessary and besides that, are harmful. Three-grain' hypo-nuclane tab lets, if used regularly for several months, seem to create a greatly added number of millions to the red and white corpuscles of the blood, and not only improve the color, but add increased flesh to the thin and frail body. These tablets promote assim ilation, absorption and digestion, and this splendid aid to nature's forces transforms the complexion and figure. They are pre scribed by physicians, but being of a per fectly harmless character, self-administration is being followed by many, who obtain them direct from any well-stocked apothe cary shop. fills KM M trrivtt, Poittfl FREI RELIABLE MAIL ORDER CO. 25 Hontlngton Avt..
