Inverted nails and enlarged joints
often proceed from tho same cause,
namely, too short shoes. Indeed, the
majority of ladies', to say nothing about
gentlemen, wear loo short shoes. The
foot must have room according to its
size, and If it is crowded in ono place
it will make room for itself in another.
Enlarged joints arc seldom II ever
cured theJ may bO relieved by wear
ing larger shoes aud By the use Of
plastsrs and liniment. Inverted nails,
if not too bad, muy be cured by cutting
tho nail square across the corners, not
rouRdcl like tho finger nails, scrape
the middle Of the nail very thin aud
cut out little threc.coruered piece
from the center. Sometimes bit Of
lint or piece OF cotton crowded under
the corner will give relief aud prevent
the rail from growing into the flesh.

POISON ED SUGAR.
Startling Frauds on the Government
and Customers.

NEw York, November l3.-lt Is
alleged on good authority THAT Start
ling frauds are being brought to light
10 tho manufacture Of refined sugars.
a surprisingly large number Of re-
iners have, it is beloved, been using
poisonous adultcrations, with tho
double purpose Of defrauding the
Government and obtaining high
price for a cheap and deleterious
article.
This dicovery concerns every dealer
and consumer in the country. lu-
vestigatiou Of the subject vas iasti-
gated by importers and reGucrs, who
have been driven out Of tho business BY
their inability to compete with dis.
honest dealers aud refners. Sons
eight Treasury agents uro working up
the case. Samples Of sugar from
various refucries sold in this market
have been aaalyzel By competent
chemists. In every case SO far cx-
amiued, glucose, a cheap material
made from corn, has been detected in
a large proportion; also the presence
Of muria,ic acil aud tin poisons, used
10 improve the color Of the sugar,
This results in fraud on tho revenue
as we'll us consumers, becauso the re.
finer, il be imports, is obliged to obtain
q drawback from the Government. to
make oath that tho sugars have bcsu
madO from imported, pure, raw sugars.
BY fraululentIy increasing tho ap.
paront value Of sugars be obtains
much larger drawback froI Tie
GoYcrnmen, than ho deserves. Ihi;
matter is sure to provoke great public
indignation and perhaps long con-
troyersy over tho degree Ct tLu culps-
bility Of tho refuOrs. The names Of
tho reiuers implicated arc not yet
made public.

said 10 catch commence at their feet.
To keep the feot warm, therefore, is
10 effect an assurance against the
almost intcrminable list Of serious dis
orders which spring out ofa "slight
cold" First, never DO tightly shod.
Boots or shoes wheu they tit closely,
press against tho foot and prevent the
free circulation Of tho blood. When.
on the contrary, they do not embrace
tho foot too tightly the blood gets fair
play, aud tho space left between the
leather and the stocking is filed with
comfortable supply Of warm air.
Tue second rule is, never sit in damp
shoes. Il is often imagined that unless
they arc positively wet it is not neces-
sary to change them while the feet are
at rest. This is a fallaey, for when
the least dampness is absorbed into
tho sole, It is further attracted to the
foot by its own heat. and thus perspira-
ton is dangerously checked. Any
person may prove this BY trying tho
experiment Of ncglecting the rule, and
bis or her feet will become cold and
damp after few minutes, although ou
taking OF the shoe and examining. it
will appear quite dry.
Thirdly. Tho feet should bo washed
iu warm waller and soap every night,
rubbing them carefully between the
toes with dry towl.
Corns arc very troublesome and are
the result Of too large. TOO small or ILL
fitting shoes. When u corn has once
been produced On a part, the part
goes on producing it; it seems to have
acquired bad habit to which it sticks
