BARS HIGH HEELS

CINCINNATI SCHOOL BOARD
BEGINS CRUSADE
Issues Directions Governing Personal
Habits of PupiIs-Must Clean
Their Finger Nails and
Brush Their Teeth
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CINCINNATI, Jan. 19.-"High heels
and tight fitting shoes cause deformed
feet, corns, bunions and ingrowing
nails
1t is thus that the board of education
begins at the beginning, at the very
foundation, in setting out to start the
schoolboys and schoolgirls in the habits
that are good for them bodily and men,
tally. 1t is a bold def to the fashion,
but it Is against this and other fads
that the board is going to wage war.
Reading, 'riting and 'rithmetic are
all well in their way, but they are not
everything, in the view of the board.
1t was because the signs of neglected
essentials were becoming conspicuous
lately that President O'Connell and
others of the school board have been
impressed with the idea that mature
study" would be much more valuable
If directed upon the pupils themselves
instead of being dissipated upon the
ways and doings of bugs and weeds.
The result is the preparation of a
"Syllabus of Hygiene" which was yes
terday issued to the teachers of the
schools with instructions to begin
teaching and preaching it forthwith to
those in their charge.
The syllabus is a common sense
statement of the ways to develop a
healthy body and Of keeping 1T health
full serviceable and decent.
Here are some of its precepts to the
boys and girls:
"Go to bed early at a regular hour.
"Do not drink very cold water when
overheated.
'"Eat less meat and more vegetables.
Pure water and milk is the best
drink.
Keep the nose clean in order to
breathe properly.
Brush the teeth every morning;
rinse the mouth after every meal
"Dirt should be removed from finger
nails daily; poisonous germs gather
under the nails.
Wash the hair with water and
soap; brush frequently,
"The temperature Of a room i'm cold
weather should be about 20 deg"

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
DETROIT, Jan. 19.-William Hen
derson of Galesburg, nephew of Will
liam Ward, also of that town, was two
years ago sent to the reform school
for boys at Lansing on conviction of
stealing a $1O0 diamond ring from his
uncle.
In the Ward family is a cat, not yet
three years old, which has been ex-
hibited as curiosity because of the
formation OF it's tail which was con-
tracted in the middle and bulged out
like the links of sausage in the upper
and lower portions. Recently visitor
in playing with the feline pet discov-
cred something hard in the tail. The
cat was chloroformed, the tail cut off
in the middle and the ring Henderson
was accused of stealing was found.
Steps are being taken to obtain the
boys release.
1t is thought that the Ward baby got
hold of the ring two years ago, crowded
it over the cats tail in play, and 1t has
remained concealed all these months,
while the growth of the animal from
kitten to cat resulted in the malforma-
tion.

TRIES TO
FORM MINISTRY
PRESIDENT C0NSULTS WITH
LEADERS
Selection of New Cabinet Turns More
Upon Policy Than individuals.
M. Sarrien Develops
Strength
By Associated Press.


PARIS, Jan. 19-President Loubet
has begun consultations with the lead
ers of the various parliamentary
groups concerning the new ministry.
The consultations this morning en-
braced the heads of four groups of the
senate. This afternoon the president
consulted with the heads of five groups
of the chamber of deputies. This lat
ter will be represented by the presi-
dents of the groups, except the Social
ist parliamentary group, which, not
having a president, will probably
designate M. Jaures as the exponent Of
Socialist desires.
The selection of a ministry appears
to turn more upon policies than indi-
viduals. Several groups. including the
Socialists, insist upon the continuance
of the Combes program, including The
separation of church and state, an in
come tax and workingmen's pensions.
Other groups insist that the new min
istry be not required to pursue the
Combes policy.
The Temps, which usually is semi
official, and most of the Other news
papers except the Socialist organs,
urge the appointment of a new cabinet
and the adoption of a new policy. The
consultations going on seek to recon-
cile these differences.
M. Rouvier continues to be the most
prominent among those desiring new
policy, but M. Sarrien (Radical Repub-
lican) is developing notable strength
among those favoring continuance
of the old policy.

NATIVE SONS TO

Landmarks Club and Daughters and
Sons Of the Golden West Taking
Active Interest In the
Question

The invasion Of traffic and commerce,
the annual influx of the tourist, unfa-
miliar with the landmarks of the west,
and decided inclination on the part
of those to whom the question Is of but
little Importance, to commerciallze
names of streets, are few Of the rea-
sons given by the Native Sons and
Daughters of the Golden West and
their staunch collaborators, the Land
marks club, for entering protests
against the changing of historic names
and landmarks.
BY the casual visitor the question Of
preserving the Mexican and Castilian
names, customs and buildings may be
treated lightly, they argue, but to
those to whom this is q long adopted
home, if not "my own, my native
land" the constant changes of familiar
names have an underlying seriousness.
akin only to the loss of an old and
trusted friend for whom the new can
not make recompense. For several
years the Landmarks club has labored

and picturesque evidences of the work
of the great padres and their follow
ers. Among this number are many ma
tive sons and daughters who have Civ
en- their sanction to the work. A re-
cent movement on the part of certain
residents, however, to have the name
of Buena Vista beautiful view
changed for the more commercial
name of North Broadway, has caused
the Native Sons and Daughters in
their power as societies here to an
nounce themselves, and a petition has
gone the rounds of the various parlors
of the orders protesting against such
a move.
Foremost in the agitation has been
Mrs. A. K. Prather, a prominent Ma
tive Daughter and member of the Los
Angeles parlor of the N. D. G. w.
Through her efforts the petition was
framed and circulated and this after
noon when the matter is taken before
the board of public works the petition
bearing many hundred names will be
presented by F. A. Stephenson, past
president of Ramona parlor, N. S. G..
W., and several of his associates.
Fielding Stilson will appear with a
similar petition by the Landmarks
club, and this will be the first move to
preserve the euphonious Spanish names
which are dear to, those familiar with

pronounced yesterday to be on the road
to recovery. The detective, according
to the Fordham hospital surgeons,
presents one of the most remarkable
cases of physical endurance that has

THE GRANDEUR OF NIAGARA
It Is Giving Way to the Mechanical
Genius Of Mercenary
Mankind.

Did you ever stand upon Niagara's
brink, and endeavor to understand
what the mighty voice of the cataract
is saying? 1t speaks in no uncertain
language Its rear Is like the voice of
destiny, says the -Four Track News. In
It's mighty presence man, at best an
atom, becomes inf1nitesimally insignifi-
cant. That voice holds us in its spell,
and we realize. as never before, the
grandeur of nature and the helpless
ness of man. Yet man, helpless as he
is when once within the grasp of the
great waterfall, has harnessed and util-
lied that tremendous force and made
the mighty cataract submissive
agent. We fancy we hear that great
voice protest. but man is mercenary,
and the thunders OF Niagara daunt him
not. Let us. however, watch with
jealous eye the too insistent demands
for further encroachment; let us, join
in Niagara's protest against the fur
their utilization of her forces, at the
possible Disagreement of her supreme
beauty.

of the autopsy on the woman's body
found in Winthrop harbor In suit
case last week, which was made public
to-day, declares that the victim died
from septic peritonitis following a
criminal operation. Stress Is laid by
the medical examiner on what he be-
lieves to be a fact, that the body OF
the woman was dissected by a person
unusually skilled In surgery Ihe
medical examiner also gives 1t as his
belief that the woman was between
is and % years old. In the autopsy
the medical examiner, DR. franklin
Harris, was assisted by Prof Whitney
of the Harvard medical school and by
Prof Bowen of the Tufts medical
school. The womans hair, the medi-
cal examiner says, was of light
brown color. The long hair from the
head found on the oil cloth in which
torso was wrapped also showed that
she was a blonde. The removal of the
woman's head. arms and legs was ac-
complished by cuts cleanly made, and
after death. Two incislons found In
the torso itself, and made, possibly.
for the purpose of determining the
cause of death, were also made after

versed for some time They had also
called on each other yesterday even

Among those who saw NJ. Wittc at
his hotel was Ernst Won Mendelssohn-

Mendelssohn called as friend and
there is no reason to suppose that the
question of a loan was even men-

it was reported that loan was dis

such was not the case.
NJ. Whites movements are watched

street to-day. When he arrived at the
railway station yesterday NJ Witte
said to the members of the Russian em
bassy staff who met him that he pre-
ferred to walk to his hotel A great
crowd had assembled in front of the
hotel expecting to see him arrive in a
carriage and he and his party made
their way quietly through the crowded
Inter Den Linden and into the hotel
without their presence being noted. M.
Witte inquired of the hotel manager
what caused the crowd.
1.-THE people are waiting to see your
excellency," the manager replied.
"Then let me get to my rooms as
quickly as possible" said NJ. Witte.
The presence of NJ. Witte being
quickly discovered, he acknowledged
the cheers by appearing once ON the

ject of much talk among his friends
to whom he says he intends after hay-
ing aided in the settlement Of the
questions Immediately connected with
the peace negotiations to ask Emperor
Nicholas's leave to retire from the pub
lie service. What the Russian EN-
peror's reply will be no one OF course
knows, but one of NJ. Whites friends
said to him that Emperor Nicholas
would probably say that as a patriotic
Russian his duty was to remain in
public life and give the country the
benefit Of his prestige abroad.

gators.

Though not included in the reports
on that subject. undoubtedly the
most remarkable agricultural enter
prise in the country is the farm in
southern Florida on which the one
crop cultivated is alligators, writes
Earl w. Mayo, in Four-Track News.
This unique farm is located on the
east coast Of Florida. some distance
below Palm Beach, on the bank OF
the Indian river. The situation is an
excellent one for the purpose, for IL
is in the very part OF the country
where the saurians were the most
numerous In the days before they
began to be hunted as business.
and not far away are the Everglades
where the few remaining specimens
(that is, few when compared with the
tens Of thousands that were to be
found in Florida waters 20 years ago)
are being relentlessly pursued to ex-
tinction by their fellow swamp-dwel-
lers. the Seminoles.
