Boots Coming Into Fashion
Again,

From the New York Times.
Fifty years ago boots had the pref.
erence. To-day, shoes. Formerly,
in all weathers, the boot was worn
outside of the trousers. To-day, when
worn at all, the legs of the boots are
covered by the legs of the trousers. The
whirligig of time is bringing boots in.
to the fashion again, at least for win.
ter wear, and it seems to be in the in
terest OF good health. It stands to
reason that it should be so. Every.
body respects the force OF the general
hygienic principle that it is necessary
to keep the head cool and the feet
warm if good health is sought. Boots
cover not only the feet but the ankle
and the lower leg, and hence fight of
rheumatism, that delights In attack.
ing those parts. Wooden stockings
are possibly too heating, and make
the feet perspire. With a pair OF good
boots, cashmere socks are better.
The sole of q winter boot should be
thick, but. being thick, it isn't neces.
sary that it shonld be heavy. Cork
soles are excellent, and they make q
light-weighted boot, while protecting
the foot from the wet. A pair Of
fancy-leather tops, say OF the best
morocco, will last many years, and
So, with footing, boots eventually
cost as little as shoes. The boot legs
should fit as snugly to the limbs as
the size of the feet will permit. This
makes the legs OF the troJsers fit the

serve their purpose. II the feet get
wet put them into cold water, next
dry them thoroughly, and then, with
a change of socks, they will fairly glow
with warmth.

Man Can Live on MIX Alone,

Globe Democrat Talk with a st. Louis
Physician.
Many people who smile at mention
of old Jake Sharp and his bottle OF
milk are not aware OF the fact that n
strong and healthy man can live on
milk alone. l see q man on the street
every day who is in appearance and
in fact healthier than the average man
and he lives OH milk alone. say he is
healthy, and so he will continue to be
so long as he sticks to milk, for solid
er food would disagree with him. One
thing about milk that is not generally
known is that it is the only beverage
that will satisfy the craving for alco-
hol in a person who las drank agood
deal in his time, and is on swear-off.
If such q person finds that aching
void which his instinct tells him
means that he wants glass of whis.
Ky, will only step into q barroom or
restaur ant, or up to one ofthose lit
tie dairy stalls that are becoming SO
popular on the streets, and take a
toamy goblet OF good milk, he will
find his thirst quenchcd ant the crav.
ing allayed. He need not be afraid OF
drinking too much milk. 1t will do
him no harm, and he is not liable to
want as many milks as he was wont
to take beers or WHISTLES. Milk and
settler make palatable drink that is
cooling and soothing to the liver.
