&c suffering from a complaint which
makes the shortest journey out Of
iccrs terror and thus aggravates the
trouble when going abroad becomes
unavoidable. Cold feet are not IN
common even in warm weather, but
ne suffering at such times is mild,
while in the fall and winter it is little
.ess than torture. A doctor who was
consulted on the subject has this to
say: Physical disorders of the most
unexpected nature are traceable to this
complaint. 1t can De safely said that
large proportion Of lung diseases are
1ue TO cold feet. The blood repealed
from the eItremities goes to the lungs
ma c0ngests them. Asthma arises
from the same cause, and brain and
eEe troubles can sometimes be traced
10 haJitually cold feet. I don't say
ihaJ women are wholly to blame for
mis- Fiction. because that is not true.

The following has sometimes proved a
simple cure for cold feet: Stand erect

Of the toes coming to the natural po-
Sition in the same easy manner. Re-
peat this exercise several times each

Legality of Marriage Questioned.

I.aporte. Ind.-An interesting ques-
ton, determining the legal status of
marriage of couples in Indiana outside
of the counties wherein the principals
reside will be determined in Judge
Biddle's court. Benjamin w. Carroll
and Ozema l.. Bowman of Valparaiso
were married here last Saturday. The
officiating clergyman returned the GER
tiicate of marriage TO the county
clerks Office. where its legality was
questioned. The argument drifted in
to Judge Biddles court, and a test case
is TO be made, the attorneys holding
that a strict compliance with the law
regulating registration would render
the marriage invalid. The question
of legality of marriage will prevent
marriages of clipping couples here, and
a decision of the court may establish
a precedent which may regulate mar
rlages in all sections of the state.
