HINTS FOR THE FEET.

Never wear shoe that presses up IN
to the hollow of the foot.
Never como from high heels to low
heels at one jump.
Never wear q shoe that will not al
low the great toe to lie In q straight
line.
Never wear shoe with sole mar
rover than the outline of the foot
traced with a pencil close under the
rounding edge.
Never wear a shoe that pinches the
heel. Never wear a shoe or boot SO
large in the heel that the foot is not
kept in place.
Never wear shoe or boot that has
depressions in any part of the sole to
drop any joint or bearing below the
level plane.
Never wear shoe with sole turning
up very much at the toes, as this causes
the cords on the upper part of the foot
to contract.
Never wear one pair Of shoes all the
time unless obliged to do so. Two pairs
of boots worn day at q time alternate
ly give more service and arc much more
healthful.
Never think that the feet will grow
large from wearing proper shoes.
Pinching and distorting makes them
grow not only large, but unsightly. A
proper, natural use of all the muscles
makes them compact and attractive.
Never wear a short stocking, or one
which, after being washed, Is not at
least one-half inch longer than the foot.
Bear in mind that stockings shrink. Be
sure that they will allow your toes to
spread out at the extreme ends, as this
keeps the joints in place and makes a
strong and attractive foot. AS to shape
Of stockings, the single digital or some
toe" stocking is the best.

No Such Pension Law.

The following item has been go
ing the rounds ofthe Pennsylvania
newspapers and was published in
this paper a short time agm
No women who marries an old
soldier after July l will be entitled
to a pension if he dies. The old
soldier with comfortable pension
has furnished inducements for many
designing woman to wed, especially
as his death does not stopthe pension
But this will all be changed mex,
year, and the veteran who gets mar.
ried after that time will have the
satisfaction of knowing he turnishe,
all the attractions himself.
Some questions having ariser
here with regard to it, the editor
enclosed copytof the item to Con
gresham Mahon, asking if such 1
law had been passed and requesting
a copy of it. The letter was return
ed with this endorsement by our
Congressman;
"Respectively returned to Mr.
Fosnot with the information ,ha
there is no law on the statue book
to the effect that women marvin.
old soldiers after July lst will no
be entitled to pension if thei
husbands die. The Commissione
of Pensions recommended such legis
lation, but the Committee on Invali'
Pensions did not approve of hi
recommendation"
We would state, however, tina
the pension law Of 1890, known Il
the dependent act, provides tina
widows can only secure pension
under that act who were marie
to him since 1890 can onl
secure u pension under the old la,
and therefore his death must hav
been due to a pensionable diseas
or cause. Hence few soldiers wive
married since 1890 will be able t
secure pensions.-Lewistomn Demo
