For Perspiring Hands and Feet.
Written for the Citizen. J

| was very much surprised as
well as entertained not long since
by hearing "beauty specialist"
make the remark that young
women who were so deSiriouS of
having an exquisite complexion
should devote more Of their time
to the care of their feet. That it
is wonderful how soon the skin
would become sallow and ugly-if
the feet were neglected. She
said they should not be too
modest about making inquiries
and getting remedies, etc, for
their feet if they gave them
trouble.
She gave them a few recipes
and helps for perspiring feet and
hands. She said it was much
better for the feet to perspire
some, but too much was wrong
and could be helped. Profuse
perspiration should be checked.
but it is very dangerous she said
to accomplish this end by means
Of frequent stringent baths which
so many used. The treatment
should be gradual and lies mainly
with strict attention to cleanli
ness. The feet should be washed
daily with water to which little
vinegar has been added if they
perSpire much. Use cotton hose
instead of WOODEN and change
every day. Rub the feet briskly
with dry cloth, and afterwards
with a few drops of alcohol.
Then dry again and dust thickly
with Mennen's Talcum powder.
Some just battle their feet good
every night. Dry perfectly and
dust with the powder as its helps
and cures some persons feet
entirely of profuse perspiratiOn.
1t is the feet after all that helps
to brighten the eyes and makes
the skin clear and the cheek 5
rosy, for if the feet hurt and
pain one they soon get pale and
sickly looking. JANE.

tanned by prominent mem bers of
Congress, exceeded his authority
by accepting the services of GER
tam prominent architects who vol.
unteer to act as an advisory board
to indicate where public buildings
shall be placed and the character
of their construction. In the Gen.
eral Deficiency appropriation bill,
recently passed there is a provi-
sion prohibiting any official of the
government from accepting the
voluntary services of any one not
now employed by the government
and forbiddlng anyone so employ
ed from volunteering to do work
for which he was not employed.
The penalty for violation of this
statue Is fine, or imprisonment, or
both and removal from office. Of
course it was mere inadvertence
which led the President to take
the step he did in violation of The
law, but it is entirely probable
that he will have to retrace his
steps aud disband the committee
whose services he has accepted.
1t Is urged that law was a very
necessary one and in the present
instance it is set forth that the
architects selected for the ad-
visOry board can well afford to
contribute their services without
remuneration for the reason that
they represent an architects, trust
and that no plans for public build
ings would be approved by them
unless such plans had been pre-.
pa ed in the Office of a member of
the trust. Congress is sorely OPP
posed to this trust and would
doubtless make its will felt when
called upon to appropriate funds
to carry into effect the recommen-
dationS of the advisory board.

IT is nearly time for some power to
take portion of the arrogance out OF
the Venzuelan government, or at least
its Pr, sident, Castro For years this
little republic has been a source If the
utmost annoyance to US, and the means
of bringing us into sharp contact with
other nations. This time it is Castro's
preferel &c for several other govern
ments in the matter of some claims,
the result, it is said, of an enormous
bribe. Minister Bowen has submitted
almost an ultimatum to Castr', mott
flying him that the United States tx
poets definite answer TO our proposals
of arbitration of pending claims aud

Interstate Passengers Not
Subject to Provisions of
the Jim Grow Law.

The Court of Appeals on We'd
nesday last, handed down an
opinion iu the case of William r
II. Hart, against the State of
Maryland, sustained the Jim
Crow law, but held that the pro
visions of that measure cannot
apply to interstate passengers.
Under this ruling Hart, who is a
colored man, wins his case, as he
was on a through train bound
from New York to Washington.
1--WE are Of the opinion that,
although the act of 1904. chapter
100. of the laws of Maryland, is
valid in so tar as it effects com
merce wholly within the State,
it is invalid as to interstate pas
sengers. and must be construed
as not applying to them. The
Judgment will be reversed and
there can be no conviction OF the
appellant on the facts alleged in
the indictment, a new trial will
not be awarded. Judgment re
yersed without awarding new
trial."
The court states in the course
Of the opinion, which is a lengthy
one, and one which deals with
the measure very thoroughly. that
the Jim Crow law is a very
proper one. aud that even in the
absence of such a statute the

taken on the ground that there is

Rounding up Land Thieves.

Mr.. Hitchcock is not the first
Secretary of the Interior to make
a determined effort to break up
the systematic stealing of public
lands under color OF the law. but
he promises to be the most sue
cesSful one, and the task he has
undertaken is growing larger every
day. The storm centre Of prose
cutiOn has been in Oregon, but
frauds in Washington, Idaho and
Montana have been exposed, and
the latest news is that extensive
frauds in Utah have been detect
ed whereby coal lands were pro
cured on the easy terms of home

previous Administration bad re

used in Washington and on the

But now there is Secretary OF
the Interior who has moved quiet

"By April 10, 1904, over l, 200
samples of seed corn had been
received from farmers in different
sections of the State by the Iowa
Agricultural College, aud tested
TO determine their value for seed
purposes. These tests showed
that an average of Is per cent.
was low in vitality and unfit to
plant, leaving only 60 per cent.
of good seed. 1t was also appar-
ent that even those kernels which
gave a fair termination were
weakened, and, in the event of
cold spring, such as actually fol.
lowed. would either refuse to
sprout at all, or give weak plants.

"The remarkable success of the
corn trains was due to the large

agriculture of Iowa is in a devel-

and practices are not crystalllzed.
The farmers are largely recent
corners from the older States,
where they had sold their high
priced land and bought the lower.
priced land of Iowa. The points
emphasized in the lectures were:
l. The low average of 33 bush.
els per acre over the State, when
many farmers were producing an
average of 80 to 20 bushels per
acre.
2. The poor stand due to poor
seed, uneven dropping of seed by
the planter aud poor preparation

3. Planting unsuitable varie-
ties and also corn which has
deteriOrated under unfavorable
conditions.
