this the distinguished New Yorker
driven TO the Mckinley residence
through crowds of cheering people.
President Mckinley was standing
on the porch waiting with outStretched
hands to greet his associate on the ma
tional ticket.
The aSemblage was clamOrous for
speeches, and when something like
quiet was restored the president intro
duced Governor Roosevelt and the
governor made brief address. Presi-
dent Mckinley and Governor RooSe-
Welt were in conference most OF the
evening, but nothing could be learned
as to the matters discussed. The gov
ernor left for New York at 1880. Il

row afternoon" he said, "and We are
going to have some fireworks, 4 sort of

sentences: IF all the conditions Japan
has asked We're conceded | see no rea-

COLD Ar
Winter About the Best stimulant People
Can Have.

SAh AAAtSe
Many persons regard the winter sea-
son as an unfortunate visitation. IT is
considered both uncomfortable to the
body and harmful to. health. This is
an error. Cold is a most potent agent
for the restoration and preservation Of
normal activity on the part of the or
gans of the human body. 1t is a wise
plan of providence which gives us a
change of seasons. The winter cold
comes as a tonic to repair the injuries
done by the ~enervating heat of sum-
mer. Summer, it is true, has many
wise uses in the matter of health. 1t
induces outdoor life, rids the system
of poisons through copious perspira-
ton and through the scorching rays OF
sun destroys germ life. Winter is the
great bracer of the system. 1t slim
ulates activity in every organ. When
cold attacks the surface of the body
the blood is set into more free circula-
ton as a means of bodily warmth. 1t
is through the circulation Of the blood
that the human anatomy is kept in a
state of repair. When the food has
been digested and converted into
liquid form. it is taken up by the
blood and carried the rounds OF the
system for the purpose of repairing
the waste places. When the cold
causes increased circulation, it also
brings about more perfect nutrition.
Mans face and hands illustrate how
weather-proof the body becomes when
exposed to air. Continued activity in
circulation on the surface, caused by
the air coming in contact with the
skin, tends to nourish and thicken the
skin. Thus mans skin grows thicker
in winter just as animals are supplied
with a double coat Of fur. The saw
ages who dwell bareheaded in the open
air, are seldom, if ever, known to be
afflicted with bald heads, while, with
the civilian who shields his scalp from
air, badness is prevalent. The In
dians, who, if not now, in former days
roamed our western borders, practical
ly without clothing to shelter their
bodies, became, through long ex-
posture, so Injured to the cold that it
gave them but little discomfort.-St.
Louis Globe-Democrat.

pears at the heel, constituting what
farmers often call grease heeh" In
other cases the matter finds its way
under the sole and the horse is then
very lame and cannot bear the pres
sure of a shoe.
The cause of the disease is standing
in wet and filth in badly cared for sta
bles, and farmers often make matters
worse by the application of cow-dung
poultices, which should never be ap-
piled to the foot of any animal.
Whenever a horse is found to have
contracted this disease have the shoes
removed and with a sharp shoer's
knife remove all rotten and under run
sole and frog and then thoroughly
cleanse with a strong disinfectant such
as chloro-naptholeum recently adver-
tised in these columns. Then If the
horse is lame apply a hot poultice of
haxseed meal In which has been mix
ed a cupful of powdered wood char
coal, which will soon deodorize the
foot. When everything appears sweet
and clean, which will be after the ap-
plication of about four poultices, dry
the parts thoroughly and pack calo-
mel into the cleft of the frog and on
both sides of it and cover with oakum
well pressed in by means of a knife
shaped stick. The dressing should be
renewed every day for a week, then
every three days, during all of which
time the horse should stand in a dry,
clean stable. Do not pack the frog
with powdered bluestone as is often
done, for the reason that one cannot
tell where it will stop. We have seen
This drug penetrate as far as the COT
nm joint in a horse that had to be shot
SO lame and worthless had it become
from a simple case of thrush which
had been badly neglected and then err
roneously treated.
After the frog is healthy and the
discharge and bad odor cease shoe
with plates coming back only as far
as the quarters so as to cause frog
pressure and if the foot be then kept
from the original cause of the disease
no further trouble will be experienced.
