PROPER CARE OF THE FEET.

$ Few persons realize what serious re-

too loose, or not shaped to allow the
muscles normal play, not only do the
feet become deformed and covered with
painful growths, but the carriage of the
body loses grace and elasticity.
Proper care OF the feet is simple
enough. It begins with the right shoe.
The correct shoe is the one that fits tne
foot according to its natural structure.
A shoe that is toe large lis just as bad
from every point Of view as one that is
too small. A wel1-fitting shoe holds the
foot firmly, yet allows muscular freedom,
and gives sufficient length to save pres

New York, February 18.-John Zeg

five bullets into Sarrantos FerrOntOs,
a Greek flower peddler, 81 years old.
Zegweas escaped, but was caught in q
house in West Sixteenth street. Emile
de Varney, who was arrested as q wit
ness, says that ZegWeas, FerrOnt0s and
himself had been drinking together.
After awhile Zegweas left the room and
while he was gone FerrOntOs told him
that the house was a rendezvous for a
gang Gf counterfeiters. While he was
still speaking, Zegweas returned and
Immediately began firing.
Ferrontos is said to be the noted
Greek brigand, "Soteras de Sarantas, ="
for whom the Greek government had
offered five thousand francs, dead or
alive.
Coroner Hart told Of the informa-
ton he had CLEANED after examining
he ,a6ala-He said that from the
Greeks he Learned that EerrontOs was
q Greek bandit and had been hound
ing Zegweas, whom he accused Of be-
ing a counterfeiter. He learned that
Ferrontos exacted tribute from the
Greek peddlers who worked for several
patrons, and that they were in terror
of him. 1t was decided to get rid Of
Ferrontos and Zegweas was delegated
to kill him. He was to entice Ferron-
Ecs to his rooms under pretense Of
cementing friendship and then kill
him.
Captain Price and the detective,
learning of the counterfeiting part Of
the plot, went to the spot where the
man was murdered and searched the
house. They found an old trunk in
the dark room, broke it open and dis
covered several suspicious instruments.
These were taken to the station house.

except such as comes famine abroad
end war at home. A cNodition of con-
stanily falling general 1ices is every
where recognized as coalition of dis
tress and hard times, and speculation
excitement in Wall strict does not
change this. We believe THAT small
volume of money forces prices down,
hence we have urged the coinage of our
silver as well as of our gold-not only
to check this grinding fall in prices,
but to promote steadily advancing
prices.
Then you think that the Chicago
platform is gaining grounds?
Il most certainly do. In the elections
of last year the principles of that plat
form were not the leading and eX-
elusive issues in all sections of the
country These were partially OBJ
secured in many states and districts.
The question of bimetallism, the Re-
publican effort to retire the greenbacks
and 30 confer upon the national banks
the absolute control Of the volume OF
paper money, and to surrender the
couhtry to the trusts, were, IN many
sections, for the time being lost sight
OF i'm the excitement Of the war and
its resulting questions; and in others
They were sidetracked by efforts to
Substitute local issues in their stead.
YThe result was a great loss of interest
and a large falling off in the vote, with
apparently unfaYorable results to the
Democratic party. In Colorado, where
national issues were at the front and
dominant, the interest in the election
was intense, the vote large and our
majority overwhelming. In states
where it was stated, whether truly or
not, that there was an intention on the
part of the Democratic managers to
sidetrack the great issue, with the
purpose of ultimately bringing the
party in national convention back to
the practice of shutting and evasion,
so long persisted in by both political
parties, and still kept up by the Re-
publicans, the interest was not great,
the vote was not full, and the results
were not conclusive. There was, how
ever, one great and valuable result
all reasonable men are now satisfied
that straddling and lodging are not
popular. The next Democratic ma
tional convention will speak out again
in the same clear uneouivOcal terms,
and in the same manner and in the
same lines that it did in 1895. Of this
there is no doubt, the assertions Of the
Republican gold press, with whom the
wish is father to the thought, to the
contrary Notwithstanding.

| The German Parlia ny tho Matter
Copyright, Associate Press.)
| Berlin, February 1S.-TNe meat in
spection bill passed by the lCundesrath
on February 16, provides fof an expert
inspection inland before and after
Strengthening cattle, hogs, sheep, goats
and horses, excepting what are killed
for domestic consumption. This is re-
garded as only an agrarian compro-
mise. The bill contains many details
of home inspection. 1t not only ex-
cludes diseased meat, but meat of in
sufficient rutritive value. Foreign
meats are subject to single inspection,
but this does not forbid an additional
inspection by the separate States, for
special reasons, such as suspicion that
the meat has deteriorated since the
date of its first inspection. In any
case, however, foreign meats must be
treated the same as domestic meats.
The importation OF foreign meats is re-
stricted to certain ports and frontier
stations, in order to facilitate inspec-
ton, the result of which must be made
known in each case in uniform man
ner.
inc Dill is considered to provide the
minimum inspection required throughout
the empire, leaving to the separate States
the question OF adding other features be-
SIDES what are considered in the imperial
bill
Tho measure has now gone to the
Reichstag, where it is certain to lead to
stormy debates. The Centre, being the
dominant factor, will propose an amend
ment to the effect that Germany appoint
a corps of its own meat inspectors to go
to Kansas City, Chicago and other great
meat exporting centres, these inspectors
to examine all meats destined for Ger
many, and issue certificates which viii be
accepted as conclusive by the home gov
ernment. Regarding this proposition the
Centrist organ, the Cologne Volks Zei-
tung, says:
The American packers cannot object
to such an arrangement, for such hygien-
ic legislation win only be a copy of their
present legaLzation of German exports to
the United States by the Aemircan con-
suiS here"

The Result of Imperfect Digestion
Food. ~
Every living thing, plant or an
imal, contains within itself the
Sc ms of certain decay and death.
In the human body these germs
OF death (called by scientists Ptom-
aines), are usually the result Of i'm
perfect digestion of food; the result
OF indigestion or dyspepsia.
The stomach, from abuse, weak
ems, does not promptly and thor
oughly digest the food. The result
is a heavy, sodden mass which fer
ments (the first process of decay

poisoning the brain causing head

Poor digestion poisons the kid

And this is so because every or
gan, every nerve depends upon the
stomach alone for nourishment and
renewal, and weak digestion shows
itself not only in loss of appetite
and flesh, but in weak nerves and
muddy complexion.

ley, said the best start in life is a

they lack the proper quantity of

most sensible remedy in ell cases
Of Indigestion, is TO take after each
meal one or two of Stuart's Dys-
peptic Tablets, because they supply
in a pleasant, harmless form all the
elements that weak stomachs lack.
The regular use Of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets will cure any form
of stomach trouble except cancer Of
the stomach.
They increase flesh, insure pure
blood, strong nerves, bright eyes

these result only from wholesome
