Dirty Feet And Poor Health.


DR.. Horatio S. Brewer writes the
Medical World: A patient of mine
suggested to me that if I washed my
feet every night in warm water and
dashed them into cold bath after
ward, I would find my troubles re-
lieved.
Now, once week I have been &C
customed to battle my feet aud consid-
cred was an average clean person.
By following out the advice find
that it has greatly assisted in reliey-
ing myself of periodical attacks of
migraine, and for wonder it has
greatly helped an acidity of the stom-
ach which afflicted me very much.
He claims (being an electrician) that
man requires to come in contact with
the earth, and that incrustations on
the feet become nom con ductors of
electricity. He eschews rubbers, and
cites statistics to prove that people
who go the nearest bare-footed are
more rugged and exempt from colds.
Rubbers make one feel uncomforta.
BILE, and what ~elief 1t is to let the
cold air play on ones feet after being
closed up in air tight covering all day.
Is it possible that dirty feet produce
or aggravate migraine?
He claims an exemption from
rheumatism to those who will go
barefooted and follow out his doctrine,
for I have seen him wade in the snow
barefooted. He may have borrowed
the suggestion from the priest who
claims to cure all diseases by walking
on ice or in snow
In these days of artificial heat, food
and vitiated atmosphere, it is great
wonder there IS no greater mortality
than there is.-Popular Science.

The POpulist Convention.

We expected complete report of
the populist state convention held at
Hutchinson last week, in the Beacon,
that paper not going to press until Its
editor had returned from Hutchinson.
We reproduce all that the Beacon re-
ported, viz:
"The State convention at Hutchin-
son yesterday was big gathering,
There were ninty-two delegates elect
ed to the ST Louis convention which
meets on the 22d of July. Nearly all
the populist statesmen and office hunt
ers of the state were on the ground
looking up their chances. The work
was done almost entirely on the eau
Gus plan, and very little work came
before the convention, except to rati-
fy."
"The editor of the Beacon has
worked for the peoples party of Bar
ton county for a little over five years
and during that time has never asked
for any political favors, or position of
honor, until this week. when the posi-
t1On OF delegate 10 the o.. Louis con
vention was asked for, and received
the support of the delegates-in the
neck. The only reason we have heard
for this endorsement is the fact that
Mr.. Cobun's faction does not like him.
IF the penalty for opposing fraud is
annihilation, we will say that we are
through with the martyr business"
''T. 81. Butler was elected delegate
to the St. Louis from this county"
The second paragraph in the above
report is reple,e with food for thought
and refection-providing It be prop
erly diagnosed. We would like tc
have the students at the G. N. G.
elucidte the grammatical construc-
ton of that paragraph,

IT MAKES the average man tired to
read all the stuff and nonsense pub
lished by the goedy-goody republican
papers about "Witchita and her
joints There is a paper in Great
Bend which constantly filings little
whipper-snapper slurs at Wichita,
when the editor of such paper knows,
if he knows anything, that Great
Bend has today five joints (saloons,)
and has had them all along. Five
saloons in Great Bend, with a repub.
lican population, a republican county
attorney, and a republican sheriff will
average up to Wichita or any other
city in comparison as to population.

enough to acknowledge that the re-
publican prohibitory liquor law is a
farce?
