a retail dealer of Brooklyn, restraining
them from making or selling the DIR. Clark's
Foot Powder, which is declared, in the de-
cision Of the Court, an imitation and in
fringement of "FootEase," the powderfor
tired, aching feet to shake into Your shoes,

N. Y is the owner of the trademark Foot
Ease" and he is the first individual who
ever advertised foot powder extensively
over the country. He will send sample
FREE, to anyone who writes him for it.
The decision in this case upholds his trade

According to government reports the
mortality of farm animals, both from
exposure and from other causes, has
been below that of the preceding win
ter; of horses per cent are reported
as having died from disease, against
81 per cent the previous year; Of cat
tle, a mortality of 1.3 per cent from
winter exposure, and of 3.3 per cent
from all causes is reported as against
1:6 per cent from exposure and 35 per
cent from all causes the preceding win
ter; of sheep the deaths from exposure
amounted to 81 per cent, against 32
per cent the previous year and to SO
per cent from all causes, against 5.5
per cent the previous year. While hog
cholera has been more or less destruc-
tive, the total losses of swine have
amounted only to 9.3 per cent, against
144 per cent the preceding year. With
regard to farm animals in general the
department correspondents report them
in good condition as the result Of the
generally mild and dry winter and the
abundance of feed. In California the
winter has been a severe one, and its
effect is shown just as markedly in the
mortality of farm animals as. in the
moor condition Of winter wheat.
