portfolios anew on the 4th OF next
March, but it is known that there will
be some changes in that body. Secre-
tary of State Hay has been invited to
remain, and has accepted the invita-
ton. This fact has created much
satisfaction, not only in this country,
but among the important foreign pow
ers, who all admit that John Hay is
now the greatest living diplomat of
the world. Secretary of War Taft will
continue, but there is some doubt
about Paul Morton retaining the Sec
retaryship of the navy. His old rail-
road ties are very strong and the Santa
Fe management wants him back to
help run that system. Attorney Cen
eral Moody may hold over until the
new administration, but there are
strong inducements for him to re-
tire and accept partnership in a law
firm in Boston that has been held
open for him for several months. Sac
rotary Shaw, of the treasury, is to be
invited to continue as the financier of
the administration, and he will ac-;
cept.
Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock
may give up his seat in the cabinet,
in which case it is believed that Sec
rotary Metcalf, of the department Of
commerce and labor, will take the
portfolio of the interior. National
Chairman Cortelyou is to be made lost
master general, while Secretary Of Ag-
riculture Wilson can stay where he is
as long as he likes. Mr.. Wilson is
regarded as the best head of the de-
partment Of agriculture the govern
ment has ever had, and the great
work that he has inaugdrated, sspe-
cially in the west, in ths way Of in
PRODUCING new crops, new methods OF
cultivation, and, above ell, his advo-
cacy of irrigation, maze him the
farmers friend, and great howl
would go up if President Roosevelt
should leave him out of his next
cabinet. There Is no danger. how
ever, that the president will let such
a valuable man go.

SCORES DEER SLAUGHTER
Duluth Land Register Says City
Hunters Kill Solely to
Get Antlers.

Duluth, Dec. 12.-Former State Sena-
tor w. E. Culkin, register of the Uni
ted States land Office here, has returned
from hunt for big game on the north
shore in Minnesota, and is filed with
indignation at some things regarding
hunting he heard and saw while there.
He says:
'City sportsmen should be severely
condemned for the practice of hunting
big game for the sake of the heads for
trophies. They have been killing deer
at points where it was impossible to
get the carcasses out. The hunters
merely cut off the head with the ant
lers, to prove their prowess as Nimrods.

at least a section of his old roug i
riders, most of whom are now in the
Fifth United States cavalry, to act as
part of his escort. He would like to
have the boys appear in the uniforms
they wore when they served under
him in the Spanish war. If they are
selected, they will probably be his
bodyguard, surrounding the carriage
of state as the president is driven
from the white house to the capitol
and back again. The City troop, of
Philadelphia, al cavalry organization
100 years old, would like to act as the
presidents escort, as it held that post
of honor at the Inauguration of near
ly all the earlier presidents, and up
to Grant and Harrison. 1t will have
to content itself with a humber posi-
ton in the line, however, as the crack

PROTECTION FOR THE FEET
Shoe Salesman Advises the Wearing
Of Two Pairs Of Socks in
Winter.

II see you wear two pairs of socks"
said the shoe salesman to the GUS
toner, according to a New York paper.
You are very wise. A good many peo-
pie are beginning to do it, especially
between seasons.
People ought to do it all through the
winter. There is more warmth in two
pairs Of summer socks than there is in
the heaviest pair of woolens that ever
was manufactured.
If you are troubled with cold feet,
you will find that the combination of
pair of woolens and pair of light
weight socks-balbriggan or Isle
thread-will fix you up comfortably the
coolest day that comes. If your feet
are tender, you can wear the thread ones
inside and the wool without. If you
are extra cold, reverse the process.
Whichever you do, you will find the thin
pair easily doubles the value of the
thick one.
There is, generally speaking, an al
together wrong notion as to the best
way to keep the feet warm. People ask
for heavy soles and cork soles and in
soles and fleece soles, and think they
are protecting their feet
at is all a mistake The soles of the
feet are not sensitive to cold. 1t is not
through the soles that you catch cold
or feel cold. Any ordinary shoe affords
the feet all the protection necessary, so
far as temperature is concerned.
ITO avoid cold feet, the ankles and in
step should be protected. That's where
your second pair of socks does it's work
But, as matter of fact, in very cold
weather every one should wear cloth
tops covering the whole upper part of
the shoe.
with spats and doubled socks and
medium weight shoes you can walk on
Ice in zero weather and not know it's
cold-so far as your feet are concerned
or course you feel the cold most in
your toes, but the protection of the up
per part of the foot where the larger
blood vessels run down is the main
thing. Your toes won't feel cold if the
rest of your foot is warm.
I'D like to sell you a pair of tops.
These black ones would just go with
your new shoes. They're only-no, not
this time? Well, call again."

can be converted into an immense ball
room, and which lends itself to a very
handsome Scheme of decoration. Con-
gress has prohibited the use of the hall
for public functions, however, and
unless that action is reversed some
other place will have to be secured.
The holding of the ball in the pension
office has hitherto resulted in stopping
work in that important bureau vir-
tually for week. This was thought
to be unfair to the thousands of old
soldiers who have claims awaiting ad-
justment, and it is also regarded as
unfair to the clerical force of the bu-
reau, who have been compelled to take
an enforced vacation during the
inauguration season.
There has been some talk of build
ing q huge temporary structure or
wigwam for the purpose of holding
this ball. One thing that initiates
against this proposition is the mem
DRY of the inaugural ball held at the
time of Gen. Grants second Inaugural
ton, in 1873, when an immense tenn
porary wooden building was erected
and used. The temperature dropped
to five or six degrees below zero on
Inauguration night, and it was impos-
sible to heat the building sufficiently
to make it, either healthful or COM
Portable. Numerous cases of pneu-
monia resulted from exposure in that
building, and not a few deaths oc-
CURED. 1t is impossible to forecast
the kind of weather that will pre-
vail on the night of the 4th of March
long enough before to insure the
safety and comfort of a temporary
structure. Even the very efficient
weather bureau 2 the government
would not undertake to say two
months before Inauguration what the
temperature would be ON the date of
the latter event. There is a painful
recollection of a slip made four years
ago when Chief Willis L. Moore the
day before inauguration predicted
Mckinley weather" of the brightest
kind. The 4th of March opened up
with a snowstorm, hail and rain, and
it was about the nastiest day that had
been experienced in Washington for
years.

Milk for Insomnia.

An entire milk diet is an excellens
thing for the woman who is troubled
with insomnia. 1t is also good for the
one who is so nervous that when she
does sleep she has the sensation of fall
ing and wakes with terrific start.
When these conditions exist it is well
to subsist on milk alone for some time.
A grown woman should take a pint of
milk as a meal, but to keep, up her
strength she should take four meals a
day instead of the usual three. People
with weakened nerves require larger
quantity of water than those whose
nerves and brains are Chicago
