During the waking hours the nervous

sleep means poor nervous condition,
aud prolonged insomnia leads in every

We sorely mistreat those willing SER
vants-our feet-but in most cases they
do not hesitate In time to be eyenged
upon us, and we limp around on aching
soles, distracted ny corns, but worst OF
all by the hard, callous spots which
come from i'll fitting shoes, wrinkied
stockings or too much trudging. Much
of this could be avoided by a little care
n some of 1t can be re1nedied in even
the worst cases. 1t is useless to preach
against the fashionable shoe: women
will wear 1t, however much an abomina-
ton 1T may be to the anatomist; yet the
day of common sense when 1t comes will
find no trouble in making converts, If
only 1t comes in the guise of fashion.
In the meantime, shoes too short, shoes
too narrow and shoes with points, which
have no semblance to n created foot,
produce their natural consequences, and
alienation, if not cure, is sought from
the chiropodist.
He may charge o over $40 for the
simple secret which is here offered. AZ

water rub into the skin a small quantity

show inherited govt. Persistence in this
simple measure Is sur to bring great
relief, and in time even the stiffness OF

as if they had been trained to the bust

showinen, itinerants and organ-grinders
must get a license before doing business
there. One day q fat policeman, who
had been Oh the force six months with
out doing anything. concluded il was
time he arrested somebody. Soon aft
erward along came an Italian with a
performing hear.
"Hev ycz got yer licensc?7 asked the
policeman.
"No, said the exhibitor Of the bear.
Then yez my primers" said the po-
liceman, and he triumpnantly marched
off with them to the village station
house, he leading the Italian and the
italian leading the bear.
Arraigned before the police justice
the Italian pleaded guilty aud the Judge
oilicionsly gave him u most severe aud
scorching lecture OH the enormity of his
o%ffensc, ending by lining him $40, the
full extent of the law.
The culprit had Il lot of small change
in his pocket but being mostly pennies
and niekels it only counted up TO $3.50.
For a few moments the judge was in a
quandary. He didn't want to send the
fellow TO jai! nor yet lose the $40. Pres

solution of the problem--and he said:
