For Tired Feet.

81 wouldn't mind the work II my
feet did not ache so annoyingly,' is
the common complaint of the house
wife, who must spend the greater part
OF each day standing over her work
and passing back and forth between
women, too. OTTER complain OF tired
feet, and it is said that trained nurses
suffer from swollen feet, especially
when they first go into hospitals. Some
simple remedy for this trouble is sure
to be appreciated by those who are
often fatigued with standing. A pow
der which is much used by the Ger
man army for sitting into the shoes and
stockings of the infantry soldiers might
be of service. 1t consists of three parts
and eighty-seven parts Of pulverized
soapstone. This keeps the feet dry,
prevents chatting, and heals any sore
spots. The soapstone by itself has also
been found useful. Soap alone Will
also give relief, we'll rubbed over the
sole Of the stockings. But, even if
the powder proves beneficial or the
soapstone seems to give relief for
time, there is nothing like a regular
nightly bathing in hot water. with
quick and thorough rubbing just be-
fore going to bed, to take away and
keep away that distressing feeling Of
fatigue from long standing.

Delaware Politics.

DINGMAN's FERRY, Jan IS, 1893
EDITOR PREss:-Now is the time when
those who would be Supervisors ure busy
working for nomination They are very
active in Delaware al present. The Re
publicans have only slight chance to
elect their men, hence it might seem
best for us to try to make sure of Demo
Gratis who have in the past shown them
selves capable, and willing to work for the
public interest, regardless of party or per
sonal preferences. Speaking for myself !
hope the Republicans will do all in their
power to have Charles Person, ID. E. Van
Etten and Henry Albright nominated and
elected. Items to their credit are the Will
son hill, the d. Cron hill, the one by NJ. B.
McCarty's and the Darragh hill all cut
down.
For the fourth supervisor for Centre dis
trct no one yet has shown sufficient cap
acity so l make no suggestions though /
have preference. hope we may succeed
in getting one who will do his duty. The
manipulators of the party usually dictate
the nominations, but the people should at
tend to that business themselves; The
Republicans and some good Democrats
want good roads, and the men l named
above have been tried and proven them
selves worthy Of public confidence, and
capable in improving the hills on our
roads If the bosses don't want them the
Republicans might put them on their
ticket and elect them.
The County Commissioners have given
the people No bridge at Deep Hollow
Even their most severe critics admit that
it could not be b9tter For years that
bridge had been n dangerous spot. Now
the supervisors should make the state road
below sinley's and back of Whitaker
place wider as those are two dangerous
places for wagons to pass, especially at
night, and they are also bad when there is
snow. There are very steep banks on the
lower side and an accident might cost the
township more than to render them rea-
sonably safe. CICERO.

not. Our system of government in this
county Is very artistic reflection of Tam
many. Those who remain strictly
faithful are the only ones who have a
chance for either fat or lean office, but
happily rays of light are appearing, and
perhaps in the near future our people will
emulate the good example of the Jersey
men and vote the appropriations to suit
themselves.
