Care of the FEET.

Why is it that such important men,
are the victims of abuse? Just be-
cause our face and hands are exposed
to the public we are very careful to
keep them free from blemish, while
suffering tertures, perhaps, with our
feet by wearing shoes little too mar
row or short, or heels too high, or pos
sibly the shoe too broad, which often
causes quite as much trouble as the
other defects.
When we come to look into the
matter, how very rare is perfect
foot! know gentleman over 70
years old whose feet are as free from
blemish as baby's, but such in
stances are few. So many are annoyed
with troublesome calloused spots on
the bottom of the feet. This can be
very easily helped, if not entirely
cured, by using the following simple
application twice each week: Procure
from any drug store four ounces of
commercial acetic acid in an eight
ounce bottle. Now, most doctors
would say,-also add aqua pura @. S.
to fill the bottle. The Home Health
Club plan, however, is plain English
and saves money. Aqua pura means
pure water" and @. S. means quanti-
ty sufficient. Therefore, when you get
home, fill the bottle with pure water,
wash the feet thoroughly twice each
week with tepid water, use soap if you
desire, dry them we'll, and then soak
the callOuses or corns with the acid
and water, using soft cloth. Rub
and corns will disappear and will never
come lack so long as you use the
treatment

Origin Of LloYd's.

Two centuries ago man who had a
cargo to send to the Mediterranean con-
triver to get rid Of some of the risk
by inducing a friend to take an inter-
est with him. It was necessary to
write out a statement of contract to
which the guarantors subscribed; this
was the first underwriting. These two
men happened to be frequenters OF
Lloyds coffee ho,;ae in London, which
was favorite place for the merchants
of the town to gather to discuss bust
ness or to gossip. Others Immediately
saw the advantage of the scheme which
their colleagues had devised and on the
next voyage the zisk was parceled out
among larger number of the patrons
of the coffee house. Out of this small
beginning has grown the great Euro
pean maritiae agency, still bearing the
name of the humble coffee house pro-
prieto-, and which not only writes
risks on vessels, but rates them and
publishes their arrivals at every port
the world over, no matter how small
or how remotely situated.-Mexican
Herald.

SEIZED HIS ONLY CHANCE.
Long-Suffering Husband of Woman's
Rights Lecturer Rises to
the Occasion.

"Is there a man in all this audi
ence," demanded the female lecturer
on woman's rights, that has ever
done anything to tighten the burden
on his wife's shoulders? What do
you know of woman's work? Is there
a man here" she continued, folding
her arms and looking over the assem-
ly with superb scorn, that has ever
got up in the morning, leaving his
tired, worn ~Out wife to enjoy her
slumbers, gone quietly downstairs,
made the fire, cooked his own break
fast, sewed the missing buttons on the
children's clothes, darned the family
stockings, secured the pots and ket-
ties, cleaned and filled the lamps, and
done all this, if necessary, day after
day, uncomplainingly? If there be
such a man in this audience let him
rise up! l should really like to see
him.
And in the rear Of the hall, relates
the Novel Magazine, a mild looking
man in spectacles. in obedience to the
summons, timidly arose. He was the
husband of the eloquent speaker. 1t
was the first time he had ever had a
chance to assert himself

THE SOUL OF PORT ARTHUR
Xondrachenko, the Russian, Whose
Engineering Skill Contriyed
the Splendid Defense.

Apparently-and this has been the
cry throughout the whole campaign,
whether on sea or land-the Russian
garrison lacked in the matter OF lead
ership. But when body of men are
gathered together with the one deter
1nination of self-preservation, and 1t
Is found that the elected leaders are
unworthy of the confidence placed In
them, it has ever been observed that
somewhere in the company man will
appear who, by superiority in intellect
and moral courage, naturally usurps
tie position of leader Such was the
case in Port Arthur, says "Chasseur,
in Blackwood's Magazine. Stossel,
though he may have possessed many
excellent qualities, was not OF hard
enough stuff to carry through without
support. In the moment OF emer-
gency the best officers will come to

cious siege that has ever, in the his
tory of war, been pressed against a
be]eaguered garrison. Until the I'M
lucky shell entered the casemate in
which Kondrachenko was issuing his
orders, the garrison of Port Arthur
showed a front which rendered the ad-
vent of the Baltic fleet a menace not
altogether chimerical. But once he
was gone, the whole fabric seemed to

Great Things Yet to Be.

The world is only beginning. We
have done nothing, said nothing, sung
nothing. The history of the past is
the history Of one empire at a time:
now. several empires must compete to-
gether-among them, that miracle of
conquest and greater miracle of slow
becoming, set dispersedly about the
world, but linked together, grasped
and held by the embracing sea, our
own ocean-state, imperial Britain,
mighty and aware" The world will
yet know greater men than Caesar and
Napoleon, deeper passion and wider
humanity than Stakespeare's, a music
still more elemental than Wagner's, a
sadder soul than Schopenhauer's. a
more Triumphant intellect than
Nletzschs<s, beauty more enthralling
than Hel@a's.-London Outlook.

GAVE ;; 'I'\'l: THE RIGHT NAME.
Curious Ono for Ship, and It Brought
Ridicale Upon Those Who
.et: Questioned It. e.

Boats trading in the Midway in
former years rejoiced in rather Gu
rious names, and the following, says
the New York Tribune. was only one
OF the many amusing incidents result
ing from this:
A boat named What's That to You?
passing q dockyard at night time was
hailed, as usual, by the coast guards
man.
Boat ahoy! Your captains name7''

"And what are you laden WITH"

Il asked you the name of the ship?''
Whats That to You?"
"You shall be reported for your in
science roared the coast guardsman.
Again he put the question, and, receiv.
ing the same reply, the boat was com
manded to remain where she was.
In the morning two boats were seen
keeping guard. The officials, as they
boarded the vessel with full authority
to seize the offenders, observed for the
first time the name painted in large
letters. Amid the laughter and jeers
OF the crew Of the What's That to
You? they pulled moodily away.

STAND ERECT,

Just look at the people you pass on
the street or in the cars. Look for the
man and woman with an erect car
riage, and think of yourself When
you pass a mirror look at yourself.
Try and get a profile view You will
soon realize how much better you look
by holding your head up and your
shoulders back, and by and by the
habit will be formed. Really there is
nothing that adds so much to a man S
or woman's appearance as an erect and
graceful carriage

ter1al is instantly released, being de-
posted where the operator desires.
The magnet will support it's load in
mid-air for hours and days, and even
endless years, if only the electric cur
rent, continues to flow" through - the
two small wires.
Comparing this method of operation
with the common method of connect
Ing the load to the hook of the crane,
with chains, hooks or clamps. the saw
ing In both labor and time is appar-
ent. The attachment of the magnet to
the load; as well as the release of the
load, may be accomplished by the crane
operator without assistance, thus saw
ing the labor of one or more men for
prying up the material, attaching the
hooks and chains at the point of load
ing and additional men at the point Of
delivery for unlocking the load from
the crane.
In nearly all the handling of iron,
no matter what it's shape-beams, bars,
scraps, ingots or plates-the work is
greatly facilitated by the employment
of the magnets. One magnet built to
lift 100 pounds of pig iron at time
would pick up it's load, transfer it to
the place desired, and release it at the
rate of one ton every three minutes.
There are some 40 different kinds Of
magnets now built for as many differ
ent kinds of work. One peculiar work
that it is called upon to do is skull
cracking;" that is, a il ball weighing
from one to six tons is lifted up in
the air and dropped upon pieces Of
iron that it is desired to break. It
does this very rapidly and accurately.

JAPAN'S cAMPHoR EXHIBIT.
Great Showing Of Product Of Far
East Was Made at Late St.
Louis Exposition.


made by Japan at the late st. Louis ex-
position, illustrating camphor and its
by-products, was shown in the Forestry
building. This large collection formed
part of the Formosan government ex-
h1bit and represented a great national
Industry known as the camphor mo-
nopoly. BY a provision of the law of
1903 the sale of camphor produced in
Japan IS monopolized by the govern
ment through restriction of the sale Of
crude camphor and camphor oil.
Every part of camphor tree, even to
the leaves, contains camphor, says the
Scientific American. The forests are
not confined to Formosa alone, but are
also found in Japan proper. With the
extension of the industry the large areas
OF this tree have been greatly reduced,
though .replanting and cultivation are
practiced to considerable extent, 4
tree requiring so years to attain a diam.
eter of one foot. In Formosa, however.
there Is still an extensive supply of ma
tive forest growth, and many huge trees
are to be found in regions still unex-
plored. The supply, therefore, is as
sured for years to come. =
Camphor is found in the form of crys-
tails in the wood tissues, and is separat-
ed from the crude oil by double distilla-
ton. From the first distillation is Sc
cured an oxidized product, camphogen-
otol, the principle of the camphor oils
OF commerce. The crude camphor is a
dark-colored substance fusing at 10
degrees c.
Among the by-products may be men,
toned crude camphor oil, which comes
out simultaneously with the camphor;
white oil, obtained by sublimating the
crude oil, and used in the manufacture
OF soap Red oil is also obtained from
the crude camphor oil, as we'll as black
Oil, which is extensively used in the
preparation of varnishes. A turpentine
is secured from the white oil that is in
great demand for medical and industrial
purposes. From red oil is obtained the
product known as safrol, employed to
considerable extent in the manufac-
ture OF perfumery, and also soap; and /

oil, after the addition Of other sub.
stances, claimed to kill the cholera
bacillus. Another product is an insect
icide, which, when mingled with 100
parts of water, destroys insects injuri-
GUS to farm crops.
The camphor products are: Refined
granular camphor obtained by sublima-
ton from crude cainphor, price in
Toxic, yen 0.85, about 40 cents per
pound; refined camphor, sublimed and
compressed, worth one yen per pound:
and refined camphor tablets, of Full
sawa camphor obtained from crude
camphor, worth yen Ito per pound.
The annual export of camphor from
Japan is about 100000 pounds, three
fourths of which is produced in For
mosa, the one-fourth coming from
Japan proper, chiefly from Kyushu and
Shikoku. The superior jury at the St.
Louis exposition awarded the Japanese
camphor exhibit grand gold medal.

CLUB NOTES.

DR.. David H. Reeder, Laporte. Ind
Dear Doctor: Being a subscriber to
this paper and having read and bene-
flied by your Home Health Club lee
lures, I feel inclined to ask a few
questions pertaining to my own case.
A recent lecture on throat troubles ex-
plains considerable of my trouble. For
years cold affects me in the throat
and l very easily catch cold, being
subject to cold feet. Have been told
by doctors that it is catarrh and bron-
chitis. Lately shortness of breath is
getting worse. In the mornings I usu-
ally have to hawk and spit until clear
my throat or spit up phlegm, which
gives temporary relief. 1t seems to
come from head, throat and nose. The
phlegm is blush yellow; do not have
much hoarseness Of voice. but fire.
quent tickling in throat is common,
and the shortness of breath gets worse
particularly going upstairs, or up hill
side.
I am IS years old. have worked in
silver mines in early days, and prob
ably been exposed to powder smoke,
but not for the last 13 years. The al
titude of this place is from 5000 to
1000 feet high.
l enjoy good health outside of the
ailments stated. Can eat hearty and
almost anything that others eat, but
might say l am inclined to be a little
costive. Have usually very cold feet
Do not do much work. If l should ex-
ercise much it would cause shortness
ShOrtneSs of breath and tightness with
tickling in throat and difficulty to spit
phlegm seem to be my trouble. | feel
convinced that your advice would help
me. Very respectfully o. A.
The asthmatic condition or short
ness of breath can to great extent be
overcome by careful treatment. How
ever, really think you ought to go to
a lower altitude. Aside from this, the
best you can do will be to follow the
course of treatment for asthma out
lined in the club lectures. ard all of
the symptoms you have descr bed, es-
pecially the cold feet, will be over
CO11c. Ills dlOuc Will SOmcClmGS cure
asthma, as the course of treatment
given in the book is excellent, while
the tissue elements which are lacking
ought to be supplied either through
food selection or direct. The scientific
principle on which they are based is
that disease will disappear when the
tissue elements, whose lack causes it's
existence, are supplied. l believe that
the shcrlness OF breath described is of
an asthmatic nature. although it is
partially due to poor circulation, as
are the cold hands and feet. You do
not give sufficient description of your
costiveness to allow of diagnosis of
that ailment, but ! am sending you, by
mail, little booklet which will aid
you in deciding the matter yourself.
