Woman and the Home 
From Day to Day. 
HEAVEN NEAR THE VIRTUOUS. 
They whose hearts are whole and strong, 
Loving holiness. 
Living clean from soil of wrong. 
Wearing truth’s white dress,— 
They unto no far-off height 
Wearily need climb; 
Heaven to them is close in sight 
From these shores of time. 
Only the anointed eye 
Sees in common things— 
Gleams dropped daily from the sky; 
Heavenly blossomings. 
To the hearts where light was birth 
Nothing can be drear; 
Budding through the bloom of earth, 
Heaven is always near. 
—Lucy Larcom.

or any constriction of the clothing that 
may impede circulation, should be 
avoided. The shoes should be easy, and 
woolen stockings are recommended. 
Some sufferers tell us that they are 
much more comfortable when they wear 
low shoes all Winter, with cloth gaiters 
instead of high laced or buttoned shoes. 
No doubt this is because the woolen 
material of the gaiters keeps the ankles 
much warmer than a leather shoe, with¬ 
out impeding the circulation. As a 
means of soothing sore and itching chil¬ 
blains, a foot-bath of hot water contain¬ 
ing a little baking soda, followed by a 
brisk rubbing with alcohol or spirits of 
turpentine, will be found very soothing.

Every Winter we have something to 
say about chilblains. It is true that 
there are some greater questions than 
this now awaiting solution, but none 
that means more to a confirmed chil¬ 
blain sufferer. It is possible at times to 
forget blighted hopes (and shattered 
ideals, but no one with well-developed 
chilblains ever succeeded in forgetting 
them during their periods of activity. 
Like many other ailments, the best rem¬ 
edies for them are preventive. Medical 
science say’s that chilblains result from 
defective circulation and poor health, 
but this is not alway’S true, as we know 
very healthy and active persons who 
suffer in this way every Winter. How¬ 
ever, good food, warm clothing, tonics, 
active exercise and a cold, or modified 
cold bath every day .are recommended 
as preventive treatment. Tight garters,
