The Source of Infinite Trouble.
What the Combined Wisdom of the Doc

What the Combined wisd ON of the Doc
tors Is Upon This Important Subject,
and What They Have to Say.
The New York Sun has been doing some valu
able work lately in Investigating the real cause
of all this sickness which is devastating the land.
Sergeant Dunn of the Weather Bureau and al
the leading doctors agree that wet feet are the
prime cause of the trouble. One prominent ply
sician said:
IF people would only have sense enough to
keep their feet dry they would be all right. I
tell you wet feet fill more graveyards than an
epidemic Of cholera. The average business man
goes down town and tfamps around in the wet
until his feet are'cold and damp. When he goes
home, instead of putting on dry socks and warm
slippers. he takes q drink of something hot. He
gets into another perspiration, and chances are
he will catch more cold.
with the woman it Is the same way. Take
the young girls you see tramping about in the
mud of Fifth avenue and Broadway, or any city
for that matter. Nine out of ten have got on low
shoes. Is IL surprising that they have colds?
They have not had time TO lay in their winter
stock of footwear, or elsa they think their feet
look better in low shoes, and they wear them un-
til the snow falls. II simply taking cold werean
it would not be 80 serious. A cold can be secured
very quickly, but It is not SO easy to get rid of 1t.
No woman ever took a cold but it effected her
kidneys. The kidneys are the first spot that a
cold attacks. A mar or woman may cough or
sneeze. Why? Because the kidneys are clog
ged-stopped up with a cold. The cold forms a
dam that stops the current, and it over1ows into
the head. and we call it Influenza; into the lungs,
and we call it pneumonia. The quickest way to

The Convention Adjourns
Without Nominating a
Recorder.

The Union Hill Democratic Convention
which was held last night at Filon's Hull.
did not nominte a full ticket. The reason
the body adjourned without completing
It's labors, is the condition of affairs In
reference to naming a man for Recorder.
The regular machine is opposed to the
denomination of Recorder Hauenstein, q
strong man with the Germans, who has
embittered the police toward himself by
his connection with the prosecution of
certain notice officials for bribery In the
Stadley case. There are some Democrats
In the town who threaten thatif Recorder
H~auenstein Is refused denomination by
the machine, they will unite with the
Republicans In forming au independent
ticket. The machine therefore adjourned
the convention last night without nomin-
atinR u Recorder. 80 tnat the friends of
Mr., Hauenstein will not be able 10 act.
The plan, it is said, is to nominate some
one at the last minute, so that any other
nomination made subsequently will DE il
legal. Last night the following nomina-
tions were made without COMMENT
