Persons the circulation OF whose blood
is weak, are likely TO have cold feet, and
feet that are almost constantly cold tend
to congestion of the internal organs.
Such persons should take vigorous exer-
else in the open air. The blood vessels
of their feet become narrowed, thus per-
petuating and increasing the difficulty.
For this reason il is well frequently to
soak the feet at night in warm water.
This counteracts the tendency to conges-
ton, enlargcs the vessels, and helps per-
manently to relieve the feet OF their
special tendency 10 GOODNESS
Persons who are troubled with chapped
feet should soak them before retiring, in
water as hot as can be borne, using
ammonia or soap freely. Then having
dried them with much friction, rub them
with glycerine mixed with an equal quans
tity Of caFbolic acid, the latter two per
cent. strong. The next night. and for
few nights if necessary, rub them again
with glycerine, or with melted mutton or
beef tallow. This process repeated from
time to time will keep most feet soft and
healthy.
Feet that perspire profuscly, and emit
bad odor, should be often washed
perhaps every night. After they have
been washed, two per cent, solution of
carbolic acid should be applied. In such
cases the stockings should be changed
daily. Boots should be worn with inner
soles. These can be taken out daily and
dipped In two per cent. solution of
carbolic acid, and then dried before
being used again. The bad odor is due
to microscopic organisms. The acid kills
them.
Boots and shoes should be fitted to the
shape of the foot. No pressure should
be allowed to come against the joint Of
the great toe. The slightest pressure
may infiame it, and send an undue
blood supply to it; and thus the joint
will become enlarged-in other words
grow out. This is sad deformity. 1t

sure may develop whole crop of corns,
not only on the opposite side and toes,
but on the sole of the foot. It is much
easier to prevent corns than TO cure
them.
Our readers are al familiar with the

Two Kinds. Of Lobbyists.


"The occupation of the lobbyist is

how, remarked q member of the Third
House to Star reporter. 1.-THE boys"
he continued, "still hang round but most
of 'em amt making enough to pay their
cigar bills. There's some talk of money
comm here to beat the Nicaraguan trea.
ty. don't know how true it is, but do
know that some fellers are bankin' on
maxim their winter expenses out of it.
They say that Duke Gwin, ex- Secretary
Thompson and one or two others are
comm after the holidays with IL Doodle
supplied by De Lesseps to knock out the
Nicaragua Canal. But if they do come
none but high-toned ducks can get into
the snap. They'll want ex-Senators
and ex- Cabinet officers who can explain
constitutional law and set up terrapin
stews at Chamberlain's. That's to high
up for me.
ITO tell the truth, people are getting
afraid Of any man that's called q lobbyist.
The newspapers have said so much about
the business that people are down on it,
and member of Congress is actually
afraid to talk to any man who's been
spotted as belongin' to the lobby. And,
to be honest about it, some of en- amt no
better than confidence men, after all.
They lie round the Capitol watching for
anything and everything that has money
in it. Soon as they discover somebody
who has bill or claim they 90 for him
and tell him if he don't let 'em in they'll
jump on him. It's divy or fight with
them. No honest lobbyist has any use
for that crowd. It's them that hurts the
business and make people scared at the
name lobby.
There's many queer racket worked
about these Capitol corridors, I can tell
you, and if the reporters could just get
on to some of EN- they'd have something
worth writing about. One man got
$40, 900 out of . certain crowd when the
tariff bill was hanging in conference, just
by cheek and smart work. The crowd
speak of had certain interest to take
care Of, and they were afraid twas going
to be hurt. That man found out how
the committee stood and then made O
bargain to protect that interest. He
never went near the committee-never
spoke q word to any of the members;
but when the report was made and the
thing was all right he got his 1000.
The votes of members have been sold
over and over again without the mem
bers themselves ever knowing anything
about it. How is it done? Well. the
racket is about this: You want to secure
the vote of certain member. I know
him, and pretend that I can control him.
You begin to believe l can work HIM.
/ just wait till the bill comes up. Then
if my man votes for it claim to have
made him do it; if he don't, I tell you
he fooled me, and that's all there is Of it.
But there amt as much of this as there
used to be. The lawyers have almost
spoiled the trade Of the professional
