His feet arc cold, of course. and thus
unprotected he is more liable to catch
cold.
Possibly there may be seen sitting
near to him a man. an outdoor worker,
wearing boots, and he, with his ankles.
and has legs partly, at least. protected
by the bootlegs, is comfortable.
And then you do occasionally see
among city men even now a man not en-
ployed in outdoor work who wears boots
Old-fashioned men, these? Not neces-
sarily so, BIZ any means.
They may be men of years, but still be
far from antique. They lived in the day
when everybody wore boots, and, know
ing we'll the boots advantages. still wear
them and so preserve health and com
fort.
Il don't suppose we'll eve go back to
boots in the city; but it would be q good
thing for us all TO wear boots in the win
ter, and with our trousers tucked into
them ia cold weather. There are. | sup
pose. ct least 1000 different remedies fer
colds. but the best Of all %preyenttons is
a good pair of boots. And I'll bet that
three-qu2rters Of the physicians Of ths
city wear boots"

BOOTS v COLDS.
sspme City Men Wear Them as Well
as Farmers, Miners and other
d workers.

Il once knew" said a citizen who, tbs
New York Sun says, is old enough to re-
member when everybody in city and
country alike wore boots, Il once knew
a man who was always catching cold
He worked on a lumber wharf, and it
was there one day that he mentioned to
me incidentally the fact about his colds
Il looked at his feet. He wore boots
but he had his troVser legs outside of his
bootlegs.
If you would tuck your trouser legs
inside of your bootlegs," | said to him
you wouldn't have any more colds.
And he followed that suggestion and
did tuck his trouser legs into his boots
and didn't catch cold any more.
You see, walking about on that wharf
all day, handling lumber and with the
cold wind coming up from underneath
between the planks of the wharf and
walking up his trouser legs. he couldn't
help catching cold; but with his trousers
inside his boots and his legs thus better
protected, why, those d~raughts didn't
affect him any more, and he was all
right.
They don't build wharves now any
more as they did that one, but the fact
remains that boots are the thing to weai
In winter on wharves and everywhere
else; and that the way to~wear them to
get the greatest benefit from them IS
with the trousers tucked in them to keep
the cold away from the legs.
why do you suppose the countrymen
wears his trousers inside his boOtlegs?
It isn't because he's a hayseed and a
countryman. and just wears them that
way; it's because that's the best way to
wear them to keep out the cold and to
protect him from taking cold.
81 don't know anything about the
statistics, but I'll bet that there's much
less pneumonia in the country than in
the city, and this because the country
man in winter wears boots and keeps his
legs protected. | know that shoes ara
commonly worn in the country as we'll
as in the city, but they ere so worn only
for purposes of ordinary wear. For wet
work Of any kind. and for winter, the
countryman still wears boots.
Boots are still worn IN the city, as 2
matter of fact, to some extent by men
whose employment is out of doors; by
policemen and fremen and truckmen
and street cleaners. and so on; and You
will notice that these o only wear boots
but wear them with their trousers legs
tucked in them.
But most of us In the city nowadays
wear shoes summer and winter, the year
round, and suffer from wearing them in
winter.
Look at the men sitting on others side
in a street car. Here is one man knock
ing his feet together TO get his toes
warm. Very likely above the tops of his
shoes his ankles are protected from the |
cold only by the thickness of his socks.
and the cold has free access above that.

shows that kGrea has little to hope for
rom them. Great Britain being EXPECT
cd TO agree to greater Japanese contro!

The hopes OF the Koreans, therefore.
are centering on the United States. and

communication are restored it is under
stood that representations will be made
to the Korean government with the
view OF inducing it to designate Il lead

charge d'alfdires. The Korean govern
ment will be urged to authorize its rep

signed to arouse the interest of the
American people in Korea. and when
the negotiations are begun then an ur-
gent appeal will be submitted to the
president to use his good offices, as pro-
vided by the treaty between the two
states. Min Yeung Tchan. the Korean
minister in Paris. who was secretary of
legation ut Washington several years
ago. is expected to be considered by his
government for transfer to the United

Melting Snow.

During the past winter a new device
for removing snow from city streets
was put in use. 1t Is called snow
meter, huge machine for thoroughly
cleaning the streets. Popular Mechan
les says that the melting is done rap
idly and economically by means of a
hot-air blast which is brought into di-
rect contact with the snow.
The melter consists Of a double-end
furnace with large CRATE area sur
mounted by horizontal water acket
and a crescent-shaped cross-section
with two inverted L-shaped flues. The
dimensions of the meter are the same
as those Of an ordinary truck.
The meter Is mounted on wheels,
and can be easily moved from place to
place by team Of horses. The water
jacket forms the bottom of an iron
frame or box into which the snow may
be shoveled direct from the street, or
into which load Of snow may be d.
rectly dumped.
The furnace burns coke, and is large
enough to hold a CARLOAD at a time.
The snow is placed in direct contact
with the heated fues, and Is melted as
fast as a gang Of laborers can shovel.
