For Tired Feet.

When the feet are tired and tender
after much walking or standing during
the day, there is nothing that will af.
ford them so much relief as a good
warm foot-bath. Takes as warm water
as can be borne and throw into it a
handful of sea salt. Battle the feet and
legs with this for five to eight minutes,
and then rub brisk with dry towel.
The effect is most refreshing. 1t is a
useful thing to know, too, that bathing
the feet in this way before retiring, is
an excellent remedy for insomnia.

The South Leads.

A New York editor says: "It is not

today is found in the South. The fact

finds firmly established government, a
respect for law and order, and above
these inducements an ample apportuni-
ty for profit. The natural resources of
the South are enormous, and the op-
portunities for converting its products
into finished materials are not equaled
in any other portion of the country.
The climate is so equaled that the liv-
ing expenses are less than in the North,
while at the same time the standard of
living is actually raised. The natural
influence is therefore, that we'll paid,
contented labor will be the rule, and
the disastrous strikes which have inter
rupted the peaceful progress OF our
Northern industrial centers will not be
met with in constantly recurring peri

South can compete successfully with
the North in almost any branch Of
manufacturing, and that the advantages
on its side are so great that the reno
val of certain manufacturing establish
ments to this more favored spot is as
suming formidable proportions. There
is an evidence of permanency about
this more recent migration that has
been lacking heretofore, and it augurs
