Care Oi tho Feet.-ConeeTnlnR this very
important subject, the 'Ssi,aha; Amsrisun truly
says; Many Ars careless in the keeping of
the feat. II they wash'lhem once a week they
think they ere dolagJvsh They do not consider
that the largest pores nfthe system are located
In the bottom Of the fsot, and that the most a.
fsnsivs.ms4ter is discharged through the pores.
They wear stockings from the beginning to the
-spd of the week without change, which become
.eompistsly saturated with offensive matter.
"dli health Is generated by such treatment oi
.hs feat. The pores aFe'not rePellan.s, but ab-
sorbsnts, and ihis fOiisd matter, to greater or
less extent, is taken back into othe system. The
feet should be waslasd,svery day with pure va
ter, aud the stockings sh. uld not be uorp more
than day ortwo at atims"

Lower Bay, and far enough from all of them
to avoid communicating her fearful oontagion
by the wind. We know from our experience
at Fort Hamilton that yellow fever can be
carried more than mile by the wind from
ship to shore, and this Spanish fever ship
should at once be removed to the Lower Bay.
And right in here comes q rather singular
state of affairs. Pilot Commissioner Blunt
states that in the Lower Bay there is good
anchorage for the heaviest draught vessels in
the world, while Health Officer vanderpoel,
upon the authority of the pilot who brought
the Numancia into port, says that
there is 40 safe anchorage for her in
that neighborhood. Here is question which
cannot reasonably long remain unsettled, and
it should be settled at once Despite the pre-
cautions which are said to have been adopted
to prevent the possibility of spread of the
contagion, we are sensible of the fact that the
great city of New York, with Brooklyn,
Jersey City and the populous villages which
skirt the shores of the Narrows ON
either hand, is being subjected to o
very dangerous experiment., and that the
people have reason to feel alarmed. IF DR..
vanderpoel has not the authority to locate the
vessel on an anchorage safe and secure both
for the ship herself and for our citizens, then,
perhaps. Commissioner Blunt will lend his
assistance by pointing out safe anchorage in
the Lower Bay, and it will then be
an easy matter to find some pilot
who can take her to such quarters.
1t is no time for squabbling or disputation
upon so grave a matter, and Health Officer
Vanderpoel should at once bestir himself and
exhaust every means in his power to give the
people that security which, in the exercise of
the potent functions entrusted to him, he
is expected to do. He Yields more
sovereign authority in the bay of New
York than any other man in the
State, and it is strange indeed if he cannot
direct any vessel that crosses the bar to any
berth he may assign her. The people look for
prompt action in this matter. Two addi-
tional vessels arrived in port yesterday with
fever on board, and these are where the
Numancia with all other ships similarly af-
ficted should be. Put her with them and the
people will be satisfied
