Comfort for Tired Feet.

1t is poor economy to confine one.
self to one pair OF shoes, says the Chi
cdgo- Times Herald. When the feet
are kept constantly incased in the
same footgear the rubbing on certain
bones and joints is sure to cause CAL
lous places or little corns, than which
there is nothing more irritating and
maddening.
Every morning the feet should be
sponged off with water perfumed
slightly with benzoin. At night, par
ticularly in warm weather, they
should be baihed with tepid water and
CASTLE soap. If they are tender, hot
water and little arnica will take
away the feverish, tired ache. Under
such conditions the stockings must be
busted with powder made of 81
grains of boric acid, &c grains OF sali-
cyllic acid and 3-4 ounces of finely
powdered talcum. Don't wear heel
less slippers, or boots with French
heels.
Stockings and shoes should be
changed frequently because of the un-
usually large pores in the soles of the
feet. They are the largest in body
and send out an excessive amount OF
poisonous secretions. The thick
shoes we wear make this condition
worse, for the reason that ones feet,
put into pair Of calfskin boots, are as
alright as a compartment in battle.
ship. If you would have pretty feet
and perfect ones do not hesitate to
change hosiery every day and shoes as
often as convenient.
Cold feet tell a story OF bad circula.
tion and worse nerves. A hot water
bag is the biggest comfort in Christen.
dom to anyone afflicted with these
cold storage extremities. Never under
any circumstances 60 to sleep will
your feet damp and cold. Either
bathe them in warm water or rub with
flannel and apply comforting hot
water bag with which to revive The
sluggish circulation.
A splendid cure for soft corns is te
sprinkle powdered prepared chalk on q
bit of absorbent cotton, and place be-
tween the toes SO that the joints will
not rub together. For bunions get &
plaster to wear during the day, and
pencil every night with a remedy
made of one dram of salicylic acid
one.half dram of extract of cannabis
indica and four drains of collodion. A
simple salve for ordinary, everyday
corns that drive one crazy is made o
one part of salicylic acid and three
parts of lard.

An Effort to Recruit q. A. r..

Department Commander Pealcr, of
the G. \. r in Michigan, is making a
strong efforc to recruit the order. He
has just issued general order No. ., in
which he states that there are now 1856
posts in the state, and it is impossible
to visit them all, he makes some sug-
gestions for the work of the coming
winter First he would have great
care exercised in the selection of post
officers at the approaching elections.
The new officers, he says, should be
the most competent and loyal men to
be found in the posts. They should all
be recruiting officers. There should be
no schemes to keep comrades out of the
G. A. r. No political considerations
should be allowed to influence the ac-
ton of members. Especially it is urged
that an effect be made to win back old
members who have fallen out of the
ranks. Each post is ordered to make a
special effort to secure at least five new
members within the next three months.

TRANSVAAL WAR ITEMS.

Enlistments for the Boer army, it
was learned on the eth, are making
some progress in New York. though
more men are volunteering in Philadel-
phia and other places. The recruits
are found chiefly among the Irishmen,
although Germans and men of other
nationalities are also volunteering to
fight under the Boer flag. Some dozens
of Young Irishmen have already left
New York for the Transvaal, but the
largest recruiting is done IN Chicago
and other western cities, San Francisco
sending her quota.
Presidents Pruger and Steyn have
instructed Gems. Joubert and Comic not
to split their forces into small detach-
ments. but to strike vigorous blows.
Gen. Joubert has three corps, one hold
ing Ladysmith. the second commando
ing the Tugela, and the third, east OF
Estcourt. in order to cut off the British
retreat. Gen. Cronje's forces are di.
vided into three contingents, one al
Kimberley. another at Modder river
and the third in the rear of Gen
Methuen.
The latest returns from the ModdeI
River engagement says that Gen. Me
thuen. of the British forces. and sew
eral other officers were wounded II
is also added that Methucn's wound i.
slight, being a flesh wound in tn,
thigh. The above report is taken from
London dispatch and it is believed t.
be greatly modified.
The transports scot, with 33 British
officers and ,Os6 men, and the Bavar
ian, with SO officers and 2,slO men ar
rived at Cape Town on the 2sth.
The Canadian contingent of troop
for South Africa arrived at Cape TowI
on Nov. 30, and were given grand re
ception.
From Boer source il is learned tina
their loss at Belmont was only 1
killed and 40 wounded.

Michigan NEWS SUMMARY.
Dolngs Of the Week Recorded in a
Brief Style.
CONCISE AND INTERESTING.
Grand Jury Include Speaker Adams,
Land Commissioners French and Book
Agent Pratt-Goid In Sebewaing.


A most horrible and brutal murder
was committed in Detroit on the even
ing of the I'd. The victim was John
Nj. Reindel, who conducted bicycle
repair shop on Grlswold street, next
door to the Capital Square Theater
As Mr.. Reindel was known to always
carry quite roll of money it was at
first thought that the killing was the
work of burglar, who committed the
deed in order to cover up any clue to
his identity. Later, however, man
by the name of Thomas Benton applied
at police headquarters for admittance,
and after being given cell, physi-
clans was called who. after making an
examination. pronounced the man in
sane. When questioned Benton adj
mitted that he knew Reindel, and that
he killed him and then poured gasoline
upon his clothing and set ii afire.
Whether the insane man committed
the deed with the intent of robbery, on
whether it was just an insane desire to
kill is a mystery.

New Use for CornstaIks.

A series of experiments which have
been carried on for some time past By.
the agricultural department fpve re-
Gently developed new use for corn
stalks, from which very valuable
horse and cattle food can now be made.
The department has done great deal
of work with cornstalks in the past
year and has developed several valu-
able uses for them, namely cofferdam
packing for warships, "A high grade of
writing paper, the basis for smoke
less powder superior to the picric acid
powders, several other uses. The new
cattle food is made by grinding the dry
cornstalks, leaves and tops, to a pow
der and mixing it with blood and mo-
lasses or both. This is pressed into
cakes under hydraulic press, and can
be shipped as easily as bricks or cord
wood. For feeding it is broken up and
mixed with water.

Three Indictments Returned.

The grand jury which is engaged in
investigating the charges of fraudu-
lent legislation by the last legislature,
has already returned three indictments
against the following persons: +. j..
Adams, speaker of the last Legislature;
VIM. A. French, state land commits
sioner, and Chas. II. Pratt, whose story
brought about the charges that con-
victed the above officials of felonies.
w. A. French has been admitted to
bail in the sum of SO, 200.
Two more indictments have been re-
turned by the grand jury, but the
names of the victims are suppressed.
There is no doubt but what the charges
were based on the dicker over the anti
trust bill, as it is alleged $500 was de-
manded of the Grand Rapids wholesale
grocers for the purpose of sidetraclIing
the bill

Nations rnrd by England.

Joseph Chamberlain. the secretary of
state for the colonies. in a speech at "A
luncheon at Leicester, Eng. on the
30th, said that ever since the great
split in the liberal party he had found
himself a mark for the ISLANDERS and
misrepresentation of the "baser sort
of politicians" but that he had found
compensation in the generous appre-
citation of the majority of his country
men. Continuing Mr.. Chamberlain
said he was deeply gratified that the
foreign relations of Great Britain were
SO satisfactory and he asserted that the
country owed debt of gratitude to
Lord Salisbury for the great improve
ment in Great Britain's position. 1t
was especially gratifying, he said, to
note the friendly relations existing be-
tween the Anglo-Saxon branches, say
ing that the understanding between
the United States and Great Britain
was indeed a guarantee of the peace of
the world. This statement was greeted
with cheers. In speaking of the atti-
tude of foreign nations Mr.. Chamber
lain said he hoped that the friendly
feeling that now existed between the
two great branches of the Anglo-Saxon
race would continue.

That New Fruit Law.

There is great excitement at Benton
Harbor among fruit buyers The new
law that all commission firms must give
a bond of s., 900 in each county wherc
they do business. 50 that dissatisfied
growers can sue them, has brought
word from the leading Chicago firms
that they will not give a bond, but
rather keep out OF the state There is
likely TO be reconstruction of the
fruit business in this state, and the
fruit will be brought direct instead of
being bought on consignment.
