ankle that is responsible for the new
and painful ailment termed flat foot
This is just what its name indicates.
The bones which form the beautiful
arch of the instep sink from their
proper position, producing strain that
is eXquisitely painful, and what is even
worse, transforms the shapely foot, of
which my lady is so proud, into an
ungainly looking member which might
belong TO the most fat-footed southern
darby.
TWO CAUSES FOR TT.
THE doctors predicted this several
years ago, when the low shoe and the
pointed toe lasts became so popular
Many women have naturally weak an
kles and when they tax them by doing
a great deal of walking IN low shoes
they are likely to reap the reward in
the form of fiat foot The pointed
toed shoe assists in this evil work by
throwing out of place the great toe,
which is of more value than all the
other toes put together, and preventing
it from doing its full duty.

fold, the remedy must be double to

Fifteen Years of Suffering.

When the stomach begins to fail in
its duties, other organs speedily become
affected in sympathy and life is simply a
burden almost unbearable. Indigestion
and dyspepsia are so common that only
the sufferer from these diseases knows
the possibilities of misery that inhere in
them. A typical example Of the sufferings
of the victim of indigestion is furnished
in the case of John c. Pritchard. He went

RECIPE FOR SWEET POTATOES.
The various recipes for the many de-
hcious desserts that are made from
sweet potatoes, invariably advise graf
ing the raw vegetable for the purpose.
The result of this is pretty sure to be a
mixture that has not quite a cooked
taste, delightful as the flavor must al
ways be. If, however, one uses the
inside of potatoes that have been all
ready cooked-tae baked ones left over
from the previous nights dinner, per-
haps-the preparation is an altogether
different matter. One who long ago
discovered this fact, fashions a most
palatable pudding by mixing until it is
smooth and light, pint of cold baked
potato, pint of sugar a half-pint of
nlolasses and two ounces of melted
butter. To this, she adds milk suffi-
cient for thin batter, a 1avoring of
grated orange peel, and ginger, and
finally, three well-beaten eggs. The

man should know that it is essential to

reclining chair, because it removes the
weight of the body entirely from the
feet, is more restful than even the
very American institution, rocker"
and that in every kitchen a high office
stool should form part Of the furniture.
The maids should be encouraged to sit,
so far as is possible, at their work The
stool gives a support to the feet by its

We learn that the long-looked-for pros

which is being supported by the English
Sewing Cotton company, limited, will be
issued during the coming week. The bonds
and preferred shares only will be offered
for subscription simultaneously in Great
Britain, the United States and Canada.
The whole of the common stock Tor ordinary
shares) will be held by the English Sewing
Cotton company, limited, and those con-
cerned in the management of the business.
We understand that j. and p. Coats, lmi-
ted, are directly supporting the company,
and have intimated their intention of taking
up large block of the preference shares.
This combination completes the position,
and Messrs. J. and p. Coats and the Eng.
hsh Sewing Cotton company, limited, will
now control the sewing cotton trade of the
world. The. English Sewing Cotton com.
pany, limited, issued this week to their

AN EXPOSITION IN PROSPECT
Chamber of Commerce Walnut Ele-
phant Ready-Other Items

The chamber of commerce and Merchants
and Manufacturers' association have been
informed by letter from the manager of the
Philadelphia Commercial museum that there
will be an exposition held in that city in the
autumn of l899 American manufacturers
will be displayed with similar competing
lines from Europe. The United States gov
e1nment has made an appropriation of $780,
600, the state Of Pennsylvania has contrib
uted $4,000, and the city of Philadelphia
will raise $500, 900 for its success. The CO.
operation of Southern California is desired.
The Commercial Museum of Philadelphia
was established Immediately after the close
Of the World s. Fair in Chicago. The cham
ber of commerce was one of the first con-
tributors to the collection, donating all the
woods and textiles exhibited in the Southern
California department.
The chamber is busy taking its annual ac-
count of stock. The turtle herd is larger by
one than it was last year, and the number OF
walnut elephants has doubled. Like the
little boy at the circus, the chamber has one
more elephant than it knows how to dispose
of. The news from Philadelphia that an
other exposition is in'prospect is timely, and
promises relief for the congested elephant
retary. Philadelphia can count with GER
tainty on one walnut elephant for its show,
if nothing else should be sent from Los An
geles county.
Mrs. Uhl of Monrovia has sent navel
orange to the exhibit hall that weighs two
pounds and measures sixteen inches in cir
cumference. In texture it is as fine as any
oranges ever exhibited in the hall. Some
remarkably fine specimens for so early in the
orange season are exhibited by Joy and Glib
son of Sespe, and Charles H. Richardson
sends strawberry guavas from Pasadena.
The executive committee Of the Walnut
Growers association will meet at 10 o'clock
this morning in the assembly room. The
Beekeepers' association will hold it's annual
session at the same place on January II and
u, and the Dairymen's association will fol-
low with an annual meeting on January IA.

become more familiar 10 our financiers in
the future. The proposed Russian loan is
for railway construction, the bonds being

IS, 1893:
While the great republic of the west is
teaching many useful things to- the old world
in the way of freedom, educational advance
ment and commercial progress, its influence
is being felt in other ways as well. Here
tofore we have been looked upon as a nation
whose chief aim was making money, but
now we are recognized as potent element
in the higher civilization. The press here
contains frequent and intelligent articles
concerning our public school system, our
colleges and universities, our hospitals, our
asyhIms for the insane, deaf and dumb, and
for those dependent upon public and pri-
vate charity for support. To these institu-
tions are given the highest praise Recently
much has been written about our public IL
